TEACHER AND TEACHING

The first thing to be done in teach
ing is to get up interest. Without in
terest there viii be little attention,
and without attention there can be
but slow progress. To make a mach
inc of a child will not do, though
there is much of the mechanical in
learning the rudiments., But all the
more is it necessary to awaken an
interest. To interest a child, is to
enlighten its mind, to make it active,
in other words impossible. The
truths will be more easily retained,
and may be made indelible; otherwise
they are fleeing and soon forgotten.
Another thing is emulation; a de-
sire to be as good as your fellow
to excel him. This is laudable, and
We find it to some extent in school.
We are not of those who approve
of remunerating merit, offering re-
wards. using flattery and reproach-
es. There may be use for these
means. but they should be sparing-
" INDUCED in.
Another grand essential is to get
I'D an honorable ambition, if possible.
This is worth all the rest, which at
most arch ut expedients. Begin on
good foundation and build as the
material requires. Here the discern
ment of the teacher comes in; he
must know his scholar. He must
measure his capacity, note his weak
Hegses, and get on the right side
of the pupil. A teacher beloved is
half the battle won; hated or fear
ed there is little progress. A soft
word turneth away wrath, but griey-
Gus words stir up anger, even in a
child. and fear, which is worse than
anger. Love does wonders with the
child. 1t is what the mother has,
and the teacher but takes the place
Of the mother. The teachers moral
quality therefore is of account as
well as his intellectual attachments.
If he has no government over him
self, how can he be expected to
govern others. We therefore insist
that the qualifications of a teacher
should consist of good morals, and
be, we'll disciplined; having a good
knowledge of human child-like ma
ture, possessing patience, tact and
ready delivery; impressive and
winning in his speech if possible,
willing to sacrifice, in love with his
calling, interested himself in it; pa
tent, happy, cheerful and hopeful.

people who sponge on newspaper
than there are people who sponge
on their relatives. When man come
into the world he receives a free

debts are overlooked by the charit-
able editor All during his life he
asks and receives favors from the
newspapers. If they speak well of
him the flattering notice is receiv-
ed in silence. If his acts are criti'
eized, he talks of a damage suit.
He desires favorable mention and ht
desires it often. In fact, some men
have an idea that a newspaper is run
expressly for the purpose of keeping
