|. to uniform conduct and effort, having
perfect self-control.
The first necessity of teaching is TO
secure attention to the thing in hand.
Schools are disorderly when they do
not attend to the right things, but to
something else. School directors call
this determining power, the ability to
keep order, and so highly do they
admire it, that they often make it the
sole criterion of success. This is but
their unconscious tribute to that
quality, whose possession marks one
as born to kingship among his fellows,
A teachers mind should be free from
all anxiety. He should not be troubled
with indigestion, sleeplessness or any
other physical Ill. In fact his mind
must be in the highest state of activity
due to a healthy body. He must
have practical wisdom in dealing with
the little affairs that make up school
life. In the good school the teacher
must have good moral and religious
character, patience, sympathy and
love for children and child life. There
should be confidence and cooperation
between him and school officers and
patrons. Personal influence
primary and indispensable quality
without which no one can attain any
worthy rank as a teacher. Pupils
endeavor to reproduce these
characteristic qualities in their own
lives. The teacher should always
remember that he is rightfully judged
''by high standard" highest
in the community, and that in meeting
this he is sure to win general approval.
1--WE shall not forget the singer
though we may forget the song"
The great mission of the school is to
make better and great men and
women.
This means the development of a
desire and purpose for higher use
fulness and fuller ability to materialize
such aspirations.

The Requisites of a Good School,
From the Viewpoint of the
Parent.
BY MRS. o. P. PUTNAM.

The requisites of a good school
from the viewpoint of thes parent it
seems to me may be as varied and
numerous as the whimsical notions of
the various patrons of the school. I,
of course can only speak of those re-
quisites which seem to one to be
essential, and that one in speaking of
some OF the essentials or requisites to
another, to have been already called
fanatical. 1t is with timidity therefore
that try to write upon this subject.
1t is apparent to all that the first
requisite would be building with
comfortably seated room, properly
lighted, and when necessary, warmed
and we'll ventilated. This room
should have good blackboards with
the necessary accompanying articles
such as chalk, good erasers etc.
Upon the wall should hang
geographical maps, also pictures of
prominent historical persons, each
when possible accompanied by
short sketch of the life, character etc.
There should also be other pictures
but all such as may be intended to
convey thought and ideas to the be-
holder, and in some way to educate
and elevate. Not alone those of our
national and state rulers, as presi-
dents and governors, but pictures of
our great reform and temperance
leaders, such as Neal Dow, Frances
Willard and others of later workers.
Neither would we leave from among
these our worthy advocate of
womans suffrage, Susan B. Anthony.
and [ would almost dare to suggest
that some picture of our most noted
missionaries such as Livingstone,
Judson and Carey grace the walls.
These all at different times with the
principles advocated by them should
receive the attention of teacher and
pupils until all from least to greatest
become familiar with them, for very.
many more are homes in which these
are not known or even spoken of than
those in which they are, and these
would afford such good opportunities
for instilling right thinking and
right principles toward the great and
worthy causes, temperance and
worldwide missions.
We would not consider the furnish
ings of the school room complete
without library and suitable case.
The library to consist of at least an
up-to-date Encyclopedia, Unabridged
Dictionary, Historical works,
Biographies, and some recommend
myths and fables for the younger
pupils. The building or room with
all its necessary equipments having
been provided, we are now ready for
the teacher, the most important and
essential requirement of all and the
most difficult to find because sfhe
best things cannot be bought, but
| must be attained and so few attain to
the standard of model teacher.
AS the teacher is to take the place

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-0n the gambling of
Charles NJ Schwab, president of the

Advocate, in its current issue, has this
to say:

falsehood 1t may well cause alarm to
every stockholder of the United States
Steel Corporation. There Is no other
practice which employers regard as so
perilous in employees as gambling In
the case of the head of the United States
Steel Company 1t is not only perilous as
related to himself, but in its example,
which subordinate employees may feel
themselves justified in following. Mr..
Schwab owes 1t to the company and to
himself to correct the report of his gam

should resolve never again to play
games for money, or for the safety of its
business interests the United States

London, Jan. 1S.-Marie Coreili, in a
letter to newspaper. caps the climax
of the anti-German feeling existing in
England. The authoress declaims pas
sionately against the similarity of the
new British uniforms with those of
Germany. Bearing in mind she
writes, "the absolutely criminal offence
against our king, by vile prints circu-
lated in Germany, is it justifiable or just
to insult our brave officers by compell-
ing them to wear any uniform even re-
motely resembling that Worn by admit
