The pupils are not slow in finding out such a teacher, and estimate his true worth. The more a teacher thinks he knows, the wider is the difference of opinion on this subject, between his pupils and himself. A teacher should not think he knows. every- _ thing for two reasons, that in the first place - itis avery foolish thought, and secondly, there is no truth in it, A teacher who thinks of himself after this fashion, always has a dull set of pupils, and they havea very dull teacher.. I sincerely hope there are none such, but where we do find such an one they belong to that particular class who always say they finished fhed~ education when they graduated, and, no matter where they graduated, they never expect to learn any more and they rarely disappoint oe selves. ‘There are criticisms of schools which are nonsense, and there are criticisms founded on stebborn sense. Men of affairs say that the ordinary high school. graduate ts ignot- ant of ordinary affairs. The cultivated peo~ ple complain that even the Normal Séhool’ girl knows nothing but school -works ‘and’ school methods, and notwithstanding that” school teachers are the best educated class. outside the three old professions, our polite society still insists that the whole comurion’ schoal crowd is lacking in social refinement. It is very easy to “flare up” against these’ charges, a great deal easier than to prove that they are not “founded on fact. ” Here” | ag elsewhere, itis better to try to.

To make the matter worse, we insist that this, the most responsible public service in America, shall be given for the average compensation of a fair mechanic, Teaching is not only respectable but it serving the children, often the hamblest in the land, more for the love of doing good than for money. Still we cannot help this large number know little except the ‘books from which they hear lessons. It is useless to deny this fact and it is a draw- back to the value of our present schoo! instruction. national idea of popular education, true concerning an increasing class of our superior educators. It simply detracts from the value of a good deal of the instruction proceeding from a numerous body of teachers . in all sorts of American schools. But then as Dr. Johnson says, “You can’t have ail the virtues for three and sixpence a week.” “Everybody endowed with common sense knows that cheap things are poor things but strange to say, this shrewdest of all people makes itself very prominent in this respect in its educational affairs and demands a knowledge and wisdom and a refinement of chatacter jn the school-room, which is almost thé: exception in the older established __ professions: ~gultivation, b broad, general. intelligence and none deetasl r Not that I wouldreflect on any — profession, for a mechanic has certainly as_ honorable a profession as an educator, but - who holds the more responsible position? .

The class room seems to give too little of this but where the class room lacks, the society is there to help out. Many times the societies go almost too deep in the political intrigues and this seems to be one of the main arguments against them; however when they are properly conducted, they give a sort of education an the. political arena that in order to realize the benefit. one must be a member of a society. It seems to us that the catalogue of the college and in fact all literature issued from the college does not give the societies enough prominence. As long as they are such an important factor in the college curriculum, they ought to receive more notice in the advertisements of the college. SLowLy onward goes the match of civil- | ization, This fact is brought prominently to eur mind each time the street railway takes anew start this way, OF: a new rumor arises that it is soon to be. constructed. - The rail: way company urged | on by the passage of the bill at the last legislature, now havé a track out to the driving’ park.

Greatest among the benefits of a street railway would be the. fact of the increase in the number of visitors, This would be the means of increasing the. number of students. We understand from good authority that the . ¢ompany intend to extend the line within the time named 1 in the bill, Until that time _arrives. we will continue on in the old . fashioned way, using the. method of travel adopted by our fore-fathers. “In the laying down of our work we fee! called upon to offer a few recommendations | in regard to future management of the paper, And first as regards the manner of electing the beard.
