air of injured Indifference. At
the very next school we Visited,
one ofthe first things the one in
charge said was; Il wish you
would give me some suggestions
in this for ! am not satisfied with
my work in it. 1t is very easy to
decice which of these is school
keeper" and which is a teacher.
Who is to blame?
If4s out OF 4S pupils are neith-
er absent nor tardy, the teacher is
to blame. She has made school
work too interesting to be lightly
missed.
If the pupils of given school
or room are unusually orderly in
passing from the room or build
ing and unusual courteous in their
bearing, the teacher is to blame,
Should she be less earnest and
less persistent, this condition
would soon disappear.
If there is real JOY in the work
of the school, or an earnestness
not measured by percentages, and
a healthful love Of study, the tea
cher is to blame.
If, during recitation. pupils
maintain good posture, and recite
with animation and good langua-
ge, the teacher is TO blame.
If the pupils of a particular
room or school have the reputa-
ton of being the best body Of pu-
pills in the community, the teach
er is to blame.
If the pupils manifest love for
good hoods and are interested in
the best stories, the teacher Is to
blame.
If the supervisors, principals,
and superintendent meet with a
courteous and cordial reception
when they visit certain room,
the teacher of that room is large
ly to blame.
If the board of directors are
wide awake and responsive to the
requests of the teacher for things
necessary for the school, the tea
cher is to blame. : School News
These are blame" worthy things
of which every teacher who has
acquired them should be Justly
proud.

which the bridal party drove to

As the 18th of next month (Feb

ty. We have copies of two ap-
propriate songs which we will for
ward to teachers upon request.
There was but one teacher alb

in Springfield on Saturday last.
The pagers and discussions were
all of very high order. The pia

the vocal solo by Prof. Good

lows; Scotland, Saturday Jan. 23,
Avon, Jan. goth, Tabor, Feb. 9th,

Some very creditable specimens
of penmanship have been receiv-
ed from Daisy Valley schools.
This work was done by Veronica
and Katherine Kirwan and Fran
ces Daub.
When we enter a school room
and find as We do once in awhile,
that the teacher is relying entire
ly upon the text book for work
for the pupils, in other words,
when we find that the teacher is
giving the pupils just the work
found in the books. is giving the
pupils no thots, except, those
found in the books, when the
blackboard bears almost no evil
dence of being used, we cannot
avoid concluding that here is a
teacher who needs either one of
two things a thoro shaking up
in good training school or a re-
legation to the ranks of dead tim
ber". g...s H..
The contract of those who have

A Question of Profit and Loes.

The drink problem Is question Of
profit and loss. Broadly considered
the profits are always on the dealers
side OF the ledger. Figure 1t any
way you like, there is nothing but
loss for the man who drinks.
The man who sells whiskey profits
in various ways. First. he profits
Every dollar that the
deluded drunkard pours into his till
goes to swell his bank account. In
some cases he profits physically and
morally. He becomes so Disguised
with the hopeless wrecks who are
being ruined at his bar that he turns
total abstainer himself
But there is never any gain for the
drunkard. From the time that he
takes the first drink until his sorrow-
ing friends lay him In the drunkards
grave, there Is only one side to the
question. 1t Is always Il loss. To
him there Ii no advantage. no gain.
He loses ambition. friends. position;
he loses his seli-respect. his power to
accomplish the things that bring
contentinent or competence. He
loses the power to stop drinking.
A person may begin drinking from
any cause relating to life or death.
or from no definite cause. Among
these causes there IL no heredity.
and it Is Il feature Of inebriety. as
it Is fact OF all disease whatever.
that heredity tends to prevent in
ebriety, and all other diseases. Ac-.
cident, mut.lation, disease poison.
the destructive war, the self-imposed
degradation of the race. are the
agents OF death; but heredity as the
servant of that development Of life
and living forms. which waits upon
use and disuse, is the active agent Of
the survival of the fittest."
A study of this subject will verify
the truth of these propositions. :.
