guage of the good book. say "Well done, thou good and faithful ser want"
 When it becomes the painful duty to inAct corporal punishment on the incorrigible child, it is done, 1 am sure, with the little offend CTS best interests at heart.
 It should be taught it was not punished through revenge or anger, but love and good will for its future department. Some lit- tie fellow will say, "Well don't like such love; it hurts" But when more mature he will with uncovered head, thank his bene- factor for Subduing his youthful rebellion. Order is heavens first law" and he must be amenable to the rules.
 This ehastisement is naturally very mortifying to the parent; but under no circumstances what ever should he utter one word of protest-in the child's presence against the teacher.
 It doesn't matter how badly off, tended the parent becomes, he does himself, child and teacher al- most an irreparable injury to de- nounce the teachers sworn duty when the child is eognizant of his rage; 1t only makes him more in- vineible and teaches open rebel lion.
 But do not withhold sympathy, for he must be soothed and reas- oned with in a manner to con- vince him had he been a real good child he would not have been pun ished, for good children are never in trouble. To be a good citizen he must first obey his parents, for they teach him of God; his teach CT next must be obeyed, and then the laws of his country.
 So 1t behOoyes every parent not to be antagoniStic toward the teacher, for it makes school life regular tread mill for all parties concerned. The teacher must have the cooperation of parents to do his full duty to their child.
 Teacher and parent must be congenial for progression, for unity IS power"
 They have mutual interests and necessarily must work together.
 To train the tender youth is a grave responsibility, and 1 fear we sometimes regard 1t too lightly. till, perharps, the coveted oppor- tunity is dead; shrouded with re- gret, we lay 1t in the sepulcher of remorse; we dare not lift the urn lid of our hopes, for nothing but q hes remain; too late, too latel Oh, bitter vail
 Thompson so beautifully tells uS.-
 "It is a delightful task To rear the
 tender thought, To teach the young idea how to shoot, To pour the fresh instructions O CT
 the mind, To breathe the enliv'ning spirit and
 to fix The generous purpose in the glowing
 breast.
 This is beautiful picture to frame and hang on memory's wall.
 Another feature of great i'm portance Is the occasional pres ence of parents in tie school; then the child is fully convinced of their interests and must always be well behaved and with perfect lessons, for he never knows just when to expect his distinguished guest.
 The anticipation prompts him to be prepared for unexpected visits.
 There is little revision of the familiar it might have. :. hee.nr ;. .WhiJK3 leads.
 "Of all sad words of tongue or
 prose,
 The saddest of these, one never
 knows"
 Hence we, both old and young, should always do the best we can and in a measure be prepared for emergencies
