School Management.

The most powerful agencyjn school
management is kindness. There is no
force on earth SO potent as love. When
it has possion of the human heart it rs
all prevailing and overpowering. and
especially if brought to bear upon sym
pathetic childhood and youth. The
teacher must rnle by kindness, have II
uniformity of good will, earnest sym
patty. and hearty generosity habitual-
~ exercised toward his pupils. The
teacher alone who loves his pupils has
power to gain their love and confidence
which should be their chief reliance in
school management. An affectiouate
pupil viii conflde in n teachers ludg-
ment, respect his authority and fear
his displeasure. II you show him by
your personal attention and kindness
that you are his true friend, and that
his best good, and make him believe il,
you hold him as by the power of en-
chantment, having no need of physical
force to keep him in subsection. He is
held by another and higher law, which
induces him to crafty your wishes and
seek the best good of the school. Bnt
this kindness, which is an essential ele-
mept in every true system of govern
ment, is not, and cannot be, substi-
tute for authority or an obstacle to
severity, when the good OF the indiyid.
ual or school demands it. The teacher
must cherish an abiding love for his
pupils, and that love is never more
truly exercised than in the infection OF
necessary punishment in the manage
nent of public affairs.
