month, a boy and girl Tribune shall be
elected by ballot in each room above the
second grade. (Second and first grades
appoiuted)
=. (a) The Tribunes are the ot1cla'
spokesmen of the room. To them all COM

Teacher shall first seek any information
pertaining to order Or discipline.

wHATpUPIL GOVERNMENT MEANS

WHAT PUPIL GOVERNMENT MEANo D.
How shall the teacher set to work sys-
tems tically to change this condition oil DIS
school into a condition where the goou
bov's influence counts for as much as that
of the bad or thoughtless boyf How shall
the teacher get at least a majority OF MS
school to assist him in having good oroer
and right conduct, as far as possible on
the part of all? This is what many oil US
mean by "pupil government" 1t needs
little machinery of government, but it does
need much tact and attention on the part
of the teacher.
The first thing is 10 have the pupil see
that his welfare and that OF the school are
directly affected by the conduct oil those
associated with him. He needs to have
clearly shown to him that he has dut'
to perform in the school community tha'
he has certain rights which he shou''
assist the teacher in securing to him. h'
should be taught to see that the wrong
doing Of others 10 no more oppose'
To the interests Of the teacher than it II
to his own rights and privileges. Ih'
teacher should talk with the children abou
these things and the duty that all have IL
exercising an influence for right and II
exposing wrong.
This is what is meant by pupil govern
ment. no matter how much or how little
organized participation there may b
among the pupils of the school.

KEY TO RIGHT CONDUCT.

The second thing that attention should
be given to, IL indeed, it should not be the
first, is self-control. This is the key to
every pupils conduct in school. Instead
of being watched and directed by the
teacher, he should learn to watch and
direct himself. Urge him to be master OF
himself out of the teachers presence as
we'll as in It. Appeal to him to control
himself, to do right because it is right,
not because be is watched or because he
will be punished tor doing wrong. Appeal
to him to be open and honest in his mis-
deeds If he commit any such. Trust him
to do no improper act out of the teachers
presence thai be would not do in it. Re-
move, as much as possible, all surveillance,
and tell him that he must be manly enough
10 act az well out of the teachers presence
as in IL. Most pupils will respond to this
trust and in measure rise to meet 1t.
Next to self-control comes his duty to
exercise an influence over his companions
who have less of it, or who are forgetful of
their duties. Teach him to he the thought
full friend of his schoolmate.
THE REMAINING TENTH.
There will always remain when every
thing possible has been said and done an
element not reached by these influences; q
group Of boys and girls who vilfully or
thoughtlessly trampls on the rights Of
others, disobsy the expressed or implied
rules Of the school, and, In short, do not
control thsmsslvss for right. Let them
