r v MANAGEMENT OF SCHOCLS. WHY THERE SHOULD BE METHODS USED. The Chief Characteristics of a Ciood Disciplinarian arc Energy Self-Control. Vigilance. Confidence. Etc. Published by request. School Management is that department of educational science which treats of the managemeuc and control of schools. The chief topics uncier scnooi management are school requisites, school organization, school work, school ethics, school government,and the teacher. Space will not ]>ormit us to discuss each of these topics in this letter, therefore wc invito your attention to a few suggestions upon the topic of school government. School government is the administration of school affairs in such a manner as to secure proper discipline and promote the greatest welfare of the school, It does not differ materially from family government. The teacher takes tho place of the parent and assumes for the time all the rights and responsibilities of that person. Its end is the same?the making of good citizens. The following are the most important objects of school goverment, viz: 1. To preserve good order. 2. 'lo train to self government. Order is necessary and must bo secured, that the school work may be pel formed to the best advantage. Order does not uo cessarily mean absolute quiet. Quiet which is detrimental to a school may bo produced by the enforcement of rigid penalties. Machinery in a well regulated manufactory is quite likely to produce a noise, so it is with the machinery in a well regulated school-room, but a certain degree of quiet and order must be observed. All of the differont varitics of family government are represented in the school and the teacher who can harmonize all these, performs a great task. The power to govern well, to train punils to self control, is the essential characteristic of every teacher, and without this ability no persons should engago in the work of teaching. The chief characteristics of a good disciplinarian are energy, system, self-control, vigilance, confidence, culture, love, will-power, teachingpower and impartiality. An industrious, energetic teacher finds little trouble in governing a school. The busy child is rarely troublesome. It is the idle one that is generally in mischief and occasions the toacher the most trouble. The pupils aro quite likely to become imbued with the same spirit that the teacher has, so that if the teacher is energetic, the pupil, by associa tion, is likely to becomo energetic. system is one 01 tne greatest essentials to good government. The teacher, as well as the pupils, should perform all work systematically. Programs for recitations and for study should bo formed and carefully followed out. The teacher need not be a spy, but should ever be vigilant It is easier to prevent any disorder than it is to quiet it. Some teachers act the part ol a spy, This is wrong and will exert a baneful influence upon the pupils. "Actions speak louder than words," thence a teacher in order to teach his pupils self control must first be able to control himself. Self control enables the toacher to decide on all difficulties with promptness and certainty. A teacher who loses control of his temper will soon lose control of his pupils. It is the duty of the teicher to be patient even under the most trying ordeals of vexation and irritation. Patience will win the respect and love of even the most thoughtless and wayward. Where the grumbling teacher scatters grief and shadows, the cheerful teacher distributes joy and sunshine, and his pupils leave him at the end of the term showering blessings on him and thanking him for i \o work he has done for making them ladies and gentlemen. A Miccessful disciplinarian must have o >n fide ace in himself, in his pupils ar.d in his work. The greatest inju. y that can be done a pupil is to lead him to believe that you think him unworthy of your confidence. A pupil who is thought by the toacher to be a rogue will generally act a rogue, but if he is trusted he will generally prove himsell worthy of the trust. Teaching is the ..oblest avocation of man, and a person who does not believo it has no business in the school-room. The teacher must feel also that ho is competent to perform the work which is placed before them. Pupils imitate their teachers. The teacher with with unpolished boots and uncombed hair will have his imitators. If he lifts his hat to his pupils as he passes them, a good influence will be exerted not, only upon his pupils but over the entire community. Love is a ruling principie of discipline, and is one that ought to be possessed by every toacher. It should be the one great motive oi our lives to make others happy. The teacher may accomplish this by offering a word of encouragement or sympathy, and by adding to their comfort in many other ways Impartiality is one of the most essential principles to good government. xne teacher acts both as a legislator and as a judge and must be impartial in his dealing witl every pupil. Justice to all should be the scales in which he weighs all of his decisions. The love and re0 - ,1 . " spect of his pupils and good discipline will be secured if such judgments aro always rendered. A Firmne88 and kindness must be ^ united. The teacher who at first n refuses, then relent and at last con- (] sonts, shows a weakness of will -Q power winch is conducive to uoor j, government; but the teacher who n finds himself in error should have f enough stamina to acknowledge his s mistake openly and frankly. ? ! * g Items From Cowards. \ Mr. Seymorc Ward left last week 8 on his return home at Mt.

The number seven plays a prominent part In events hi the Bible. The creation took six days, and on the seventh there was rest. On the seventh day of (ho seventh month a holy observance was ordained, and the Israelites feasted seven days and rested seven days. Noah liud seven days' warning of the flood, and the seven years of plenty wero foretold In Pharaoh's dream by soven fat beasts, as wero the seven years by seven loan beasts. Wo spoak of the seven heavens, and the seventh son was supposed to bo endowed with pre-eminent wisdom. In short, there Is no other number which enters Into the Blblv so often a? aoruu.
