RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TEACH.

The teacher is responsible for the
moral and physical development OF
the child as well as the proper devel-
opment of his mental faculties.
Kindness, gentleness, thoughtfulness
for the welfare and comfort of others,
should be taught by example rather
than precept. The teacher who pos
sesses these qualities of character
will usually be successful in impart-
ing them to the children under his
care. Always be polite and cOurte-
Gus yourself and you will have less
trouble in teaching the children to do
so. Teach self-control by controlling
your own tongue and temper What
teacher could hope to have a pleas
ant, good natured, orderly school who
~'gets mad" and says in moments of
anger and impatience that he would
not think of saying when not excited
by passion. Use every means to in
still in the mind a love Of truth, honor,
4uprightness and fair dealing. Instan-
.ces from the host of great men can
be cited that will admirably teach
these qualities of character The
teacher cannot be too careful Of his
own conduct. The lives we live will
be reflected in the lives of those we
teach. Order neatness, and prompt
ness should be insisted on daily. Look
after the children's play hour and see
that they play pleasant and enliven-
ing games that will give them proper
exercise We know that to be heal
thy we must have exercise and fresh
air. Use every effort possible to
awaken interest and love for study
in the children's minds. Be alive to
your duty as instructor, and make
your explanation and instruction in
teresting, simple and forceful. Have
parents meetings, spelling matches,
Friday evening exercises, entertain
ments, ETC., to awaken interest and
enthusiasm among patrons and pu-
pills alike Be kind, thoughtful, tact
full, patient, earnest and sincere, If
you cannot do all these things, you
will not ne succassful teacher
