Fifty Years in the Ministry

On a bright May morning when 1
was lad of thirteen, my father sent
me to have some work done in a shop
about two miles from home My path
led through fields and woods In pass
ing through a skirt of timber with
thick underbrush my ears were saluted
by the singing of two beautiful little
birds in the branches above me. |
threw a stone and killed one of them.
ran and picked it up, looked at its
beautiful colors and soft, downy
feathers, threw it down and went on
my way Late in the day, on my re-
turn, was attracted by the pitifuI cry
OF little mourner where / had killed
the bird in the early morning. | halt
ed and looked up, and there was the
mate of the bird which lay dead at
my feet. 1t fitted with dropping
wings here and there, calling and call
ing for its companion, from which
came no response. As i looked and
listened my heart grew sad, and l bow
ed my head and said, 81 wish l hadn't
done it" / went on home leaving the
little mourner calling in vain, for the
innocent sleeper on the ground an
swered not.
Fifty years have come and gone and
still | can hear the cry of that little
bird mourning for its lost mate. That
cry has fingered with me all these
years. That my conduct brought sor-
row and separation between two inno-
cent companions singing sweetly to-
gether made me sad then, and / have
never been able to hush the incident
away from the memories of my child
hood. How often in my own life
have felt the sorrow of that little
mourner in the woods The first fun
eral | ever conducted when a boy
preacher was that of a husband. When
/ saw his wife bow down to kiss his
cold brow and say goodbye, l heard
again the pitiful notes of sorrow in
the woods. When long years had pass
ed by, and my dear mother went away
never to. return, and I saw my father
with bowed head and aching heart, |
| thought of the little mourner lament
/ ing for its departed mate. Still later,
when my own precious child left us
and her voice no longer heard, / re-
membered the innocent sleeper on the
/ ground and the tender cadences of its
| heart-broken companion. Tonight as
write these lines there comes to me
over the distance of fifty years the
voice of the little mourner in the
woods.

THE NATURE OF DISCIPLINE

Discipline is active rather than pas
sive, it's "do" rather than a don't
condition. All children that are young
and growing are active, energetic and
DESTROYS of doing something, hence the
only thing necessary for a teacher to
do is to properly direct the child's eff
forts.
If possible, teachers should not use
don't in correcting children, but al
ways "do." This thought suggests the
constant watching, guiding, directing
and leading of students at all times,
in the school room and on the play
ground.
Teachers who neglect the play
ground lose their greatest opportunity
to enter into the life of the children.
This is one shortcoming that usually
develops in people who haYe for long
time taught, lose their own desire for

SOME PEDAGOGICAL DoN'Ts

Don't be changeable in your disci-
pine.
Don't forget that you will have or
der if you show yourself determined.
Don't forget that lack of discipline
is ruinous defect in any schol
Don't give a command unless YOU
mean to see that it is obeyed.
Don't forget that it is more difficult
TO govern a school wisely than to
command an army.
Don't argue question of govern
ment with your pupils.
Don't forget that teacher above
all others must have confidence in him
self.
Don't forget that the good disciple
marian seldom resorts to severe
punishments
Don't forget the maxim: Gas is the
teacher so is the school"
One home in every two in the rural
districts of Ontario has a telephone,
and an average of one farm out Of
every four has a motor car.
