Show 1 1 schools Soli the time has now arrived in which schools tor for the winter season should be opened without unnecessary delay whose business is it to call school mee meetings arid and employ school teachers con competent detent sensible persons may perhaps now be employed schools it they are engaged at an early period sat but shortly such persons may be otherwise enga engaged gred discreet and prudent persons parsons are very likely to tave have sufficient forecast to mark out their business for the winter and if they are not seasonal red to I 1 1 ba l 11 nl e got and nd furn

wisdom afy each ward to look well to their own schools arid and if each will to do that all the schools will soon bein be in a prosperous condition and a wholesome emulation will be cherished and you will not hear families complaining our ward never starts a school till all the other schools are in opera tion 1 I wish we lived in sach a ward because they pay so much better attention to their schools 11 well says another f family 1 I wonder who will be employed to teach our school this winter I 1 hope we shall not have such another teacher as we had last winter I 1 think the scholars did not nor learn much 11 hold then a little and dont clont be and ing but use your influence and f faith arid and your proper share of attendance at the school meetings and pa your school bill and when you get a school teacher see that your children make him as little trouble in the way of reproof and correction in disorderly conduct as possible if you want your teachers time devoted to the instruction of your children in the ansual branches of study then take lake ahe trouble ble to discipline your children yourself touching common order orde and behavior if parents will all do a little in this way it will better enable the teacher devote to tw his time and ingenuity to th the e primary 1 m ary object of school teaching and if youl gr childred chil il i iren drea should adopt the practice in very early life to take a little gospel to school and apply it to getting an education the ex peri ence might be worth something to them bliem in riper years for instance if they should presume to think that the spirit of god could help them get their lessons just as well as he could help the two thousand young men to fight then their enemies or infant babes to speak with the tongues of angels as in former days wherein would bi b the impropriety of their faith if they should find by exerie experience nc that the spirit of god had so touched the eyes of their understanding der as to give them more ready access to the principles of arithmetic and to the art of writing they would soon find the comfort and convenience of such a helper in m the acquisition of all other truth which

of the system of sc school hl teaching that incorporated tile the aid of such a spirit now when teachers come from the states and other distant parts ahat do not understand this lecul arity anty in in

forward them to 10 the board of regents for examination one 0 ie of the first qualifications of a school teacher is is good sound common sense this qualification should be found in in a reasonable measure in a teacher and many other literary qualifications will make poor amends for want of this it a school teacher would magnify his honorable and responsible profession he will always find enough to do he cannot serve fifty or sixty scholars faithfully and find a moment f for or idleness or for a vacant mind these numerous scholars should have the privilege of asking discreet and reasonable questions at proper time limes when it can be done with I 1 I 1 1 1 out serious annoyance to the recitations and order of the school but when a teacher has answered all reasonable questions and given brief simple and plain ia illustrations lust rations in answer to the them and beard every scholar to the full extent of his lessons he will find that hi hii i school hours are completely used up and he himself weary enough to retire A faithful teacher will find much of his spare time occupied in calculating how he may simplify his illustrations to his scholars and adapt them to the capacities of those various grades of intellect committed to his charge the happiest art of illustrating subjects to pupils cannot Lannot be required red from books baa must be dictated b by the he judgment and good sense of the teacher A good share of patience kindness kindne and self com mand should belon belong to a teacher because so many scholars very differently trained will be likely to manifest considerable folly and error with some per averseness vers eness and stupidity he is called to govern his scholars extent without knowing particularly what kind of parental discipline li lits IMS ts
