School Management--R_esponsibil-
‘ I -ityofi the Teacher. '
Nothing contributes more to the prosper-
ity of a large school than stillness. I do
not mean a death-like stillness, at such an
expense of free, voluntary action on the
part of the pupil as to cause pain. I think
it wrong for any teacher to exact such pre-
found silence ; forjhis will lead the pupils
to think more of it than of their studies,
and to construe what is merely a require-
ment of good discipline into what they will
. / u
be apt to regard as an abuse of auth9“t)':
See
or an arbitrary exercise of power.
“mt no Schoiar makes up-2meces,smy noise, or
in any way di_s_tracts‘ the attention of other
pupils _fi;m;{'their studies. Signs can be
nmde__/to work i admirably in calling up
classes,sliowing places, in catechizing the.
pupils, and in ‘their leaving their seats, pro-
viding they are arranged in regular order,
one before the other and in serries. The
exercises will go off more smoothly in such-
cases, and it carries with it an advantage
that the teacher should not fail to improve.
and that is, commanding the quick, close
attention of the pupil, through the eye—~for,
with small ones, at least, the mind is ’lL‘ll/Q
the eye. Let no one suppose that signs ii)
school are to lessen the number of vefbal
answers. ortoioperate on the promptness of
classes in reading or recitation.
There are many matters connected with
the internal affairs of a school, that have
a very important relation to the acqui-
sition of learning—they act as occasional
reliefs to hard study, and sameness of pos-

an intermediate exercise in ‘school, is of
paramount value, as operating a wonderful
relief from the routine of more customary
tude resulting from the unreinitted stretch
of attention which often. makes such a seri-
ous drauglit upon the physical and mental
‘vigor of thetpupil as to produce utter ex-
haustion. Also, as an introductory exer-
cise, singing is not without its value. Gym-
nastics, in school, consists in having every
scholar standing perfectly erect, With the
shoulders thrown back, as farfas possible,
and then, in throwing the arms forward,
and jerking them suddenly backward—-iais-
ing them over the head, and touching hands
—-opening and shutting hands rapidly, with
the arms thrown out—taking air into the
lungs, andexhaling it gradually, or sudden-
ly,&c. In concert exercises, the teacher
can dictate to his school, repeating after
him, in the same tone‘, or the classes in turn
can read together from their books, or re-
peat a lesson simultaneously. These are.
good exercises, occasionally, for all, and
-should he often used with the pupils that
are inclined to be bashful or indifferent. I
am convinced, from my own experience in
mypresent school, that tnuch strictness is
required in the different recitations; other-
wise the scholar will depend'on his turn,
and the numbers in his class, without much
regard for the book. Now, I think, that,
with so many, one lost questionshould con-
stitute an ' imperfect lesson ; in which case
the pupilfv'v~il»l fear to be idle, as he knows
what t'o“expect, if the lesson be not forth-
coming. I assert that detentionafter school
for imperfect lessons is the most reasonable,
‘and, at_.the same time, the most effectual
course the teacher can take. The child is
cbmmitted to his charge by the parent, and
he has not the right to let,that child leave
the school-room, until its lessons have all
been recited. I
It is necessary that there should be a
right ‘system bf books introduced into
schools, and that there should be competent,
judges in the selection, But, after a system
of books has been agreed on by thesejudges,
and have been introduced into schools, at
a considerable expense of‘ the district, I do
not think it proper that sudden changes
should take place. By these changes the
teacher has enemies among his proprietors,
for deeds that he never has done. I think
that the Committee for the investigation and
introduction of s/chool-books should look
' well to the 72l67‘ZlS of the book, without.giving
much heed to the claims urged by the agent,
as the result of a change involves the teach-
er in many more difficulties than people
generally are aware of. There is another
thing that I must allude to—and that is.
ef parents sending very small ones to school
with a motive to get them out of the way.
This is , wrong, and no reasonable parent
will do it——the hindrance of the classes is
not repaid by their progress in learning-
‘ the teacher can but train them in behavior
which should be taught them at home,
while attaining age and size. I"do not
think‘ it proper that any child should be
sent to School before it is five years of age,
at least, and not then unless it has a knowl-
edge of the alphabet. In a large school,
.with butione teacher, the smallest children
will be the most neglected, with the same
time given them that the largest receive, as
they require individual treatment from the
teacher, up to the time that they are able to
read fluently. Parents should consider this,
and not, for their own convenience, buijthen

of a school responsible '1 In the highest_;de-
gree, for-"the advancement ofthe pupils
placed in his charge, as their career through
life, will, in all probability, depend on the
"instruction they rieceive when young, ‘and on
the manner in’ which they are taught to
think. But the teacher’s responsibility is
much lessened if the parent co-operates and
concurs with him—he will have auxiliaries
in the moral training, and will be better able
to secure punctual attendance at school. If
the teacher perfsikns his duty at all times, he
is free from blame; but often there are
cases of transgression that never meet his
ear, however searching he may be, in the
detection of wrong. In school, he can know
that the scholar recites perfectly, and is re-
markable for good behavior-—-that he is dis-.
posed to learn,and whether he is good in
other respects. ;Out of school, restraint is
more or less thrown off by all, and some
will deviate so for from right, as to incur the
displeasure of people residing in the neigh-
borhood of the school. Now, the question
is——On whom does the responsibility of
wrong rest here ? teacher or parent? The
teacher forewarns his pupils of~the necessity
of effort on their part to conduct themselves
in a noble, straight-forward manner‘, Willi
courtesy to all. If going to or from school,
they are under his supervision to a great ox-
tent—but responsibility does not rest on him
alone, as the parent has, or should have, a
part of the government necessary to ensure
the good conduct of the children when out
of sight. Parents should not fail in the im-
portant duty of charging their children to
obey the teacher, in all he says; as the
prosperity of a school depends on obedience,
and obedience on the joint action of teacher
