W. a.ronT, County SuDt. of Education CENTRAL PROBLEMS. No one can teach long without seeing that lo has some problems to solve that often demand great Imgenuity. I conclude that only meand women of much ability .vor succeed as teachers; those of sinall ability do not succeed but people do not always find it out. The great ones attack central pr ob. lems: the small ones aro busy with rrille and furbelows. :The first con bral problein is FNrnu Isi ASM. Can you create interest? Can y'ou keep that interest up. If so, (ou mny be almost certain 3 ou will mieceed. Probably only one.teach )r in ten is aible at. first toarousoan nterest in a group of youth. It is iot my Iurpose here to speak of he ways ini which interest is arousc d, but of its indispensable ness. Another p-roblem to attack ih that of iIDSTRY, Ar. your Pupils iidustrions? It S enly industry that will save the sch-.ool. The pupils must ilaster the tables, the capitals. the rivers and mountains, the facts of iisto ry. ke. There has got to he close, strenuous, inid centinuous work. 'he school must be a workshop. Probablv one-ialf of the time in the scho.: I -rocm is waeted: t o many pupils ncik is very distastefl: htence the probA-Im oI1 caueing work is a very seriiu6 (nie. AnlOtl.or iroblem is coiiipreienld. ing( the ANT (F TI-:ACHIN. Tle idea that teaclihig is heariig is lield by prol.bly one alf of theSe in the Sclool-roIUs to-dyn. Instead of Iat it must I n ce-:v.;d of as (1 Imparting c rin '.. I Mal:ing surround. : 3: . T ig powers, 4 i1: :s:.g 3 : .: 1,'5) T ram - :1 iv :r . . i Nourishnig Idea:s. ' 3 A yrng truth.

There are many things concerna ing a school that cause it to resem le an armiy; the regularity, punc tuality, bodily carriage, mfahnnrsa movmn tu in t he room, methods of reciting, &c., must all bo inspec ted andiado to como up to a stan. dlard. A school-room in which these are made the object of closc thought is a different place froni one where matters go at shaphazard It is a positive shame that so many children are in the school-'roomi rox years and have iio exactness imn pressedl upon them, whereas a mar cannot be a iiomber of a muilitary company a short time swithiout be ing conscious of it ever after. wardl. But the great problemU is (nAnA('rER nCHlD1oNo, The pupil really goos to school tc learn to tako care of himsielf-that is, mientally andl~ mlorally. All that the teacher does should tend to form charaet or--thiat is to come to right moral juidgmnicnts readily and1( chioorfulIly. Whilo Arithme tic is tanght thio teneber has in indl a morally upr)ight being who will use thli arithinetical kniowl. edge; and~ consaequenitly exerts in Iiluoniees thait will ensure th is oh ject-hec does more than teach arith mietic. W'e have mentioned a few of the central problems the teacher has to solve; those show plainly that teach ing is not a small business; it is a gient business, Three years aigo the writer visited a school where flye teachers were emplloyed; the general condition was deplorable; it was painful to pass from room to room and note the listlessness, the inattention that was verging into sauciness. To-day the same school was re-visited; it was a pleasure to see the delight of the pupils in eve. ry class, yet the studios were the samne. They now woro receiving somothuing besides instruction in arithmetic end .language., They were being trained morally. Possibly some teacher who fails to grasp the idea of charactpr building moiy see what1 it meahit by considering these two schools.
