TEACHER’S COLUMN.
• ■
DEVOTED TO THE INTER
EST OF EDUCATION
C’oiiiiinmlcatioiiH for this Coliiinn
Should be Addressed to
•I. P. Dendy, Homer.
There are few things in this world
to be more dreaded than a communi
cative man with nothing to communi
cate.
Mind and heart culture go together
The be>t teacher will aim, not only to
cul ivate the intellect, but will kindly
help in cultivating cvcty true and no
ble Christian virtue.
Asa teacher it is your duty to fit
yonrself for leadership. You can, by
your lar_ e-heart ed aims and purposes,
help to lift the whole community into
a higher plane of usefulness.
“Pupils are not to be treated as in
the objective ease : they are coordi
nate nominatives with their teach
ers.”
Teaching is intellectual companion
ship, the contact with living mind of
living mind. It is not so much knowl
a igt; that people need ■ s inspiration.
No teacher is lit f->r his calling, whose
knowledge has not inspired him, and
whose inspiration is not contagions.
Ignorant mind in a decline, and it
needs the tonic of a stimulating teach
ei lie must be won to think, to
th;nk consecutively, and to thick haul;
arid the very difficulties to bo encoun
tered and vanquished are the ordained
instruments for this work.
HAVE AS IDEAL.
The teacher should liavy in his mind
clear ideals of what he is to make of
hiy pupils, and of what shall he the
result of bis work. II j is n poor
workman'in anything, w no is working
wiiliutft an aim and mulTJstanding ot
w hat iie is fb accomplish. \Ve- arc,
to sdino e.wlwnij at least, *we
jvniit to no, ami'*accomplish what wo
want to aeeornpfisb. "Our efforts arc
directed according to tho inclination
of our minds The teacher wlio pos
sesses liigh ulcals of what an educated
man should be, leads his pupils
nearer to that, standard than does the
one who has not such ideals.
The only way was to put into the
child's m ini all the knowledge it
would hold, with httlo thought of
teaching him how lo use it. Tho
end sought was ho.v much the child
should know, not what, lie could do.
A walking library is not objectiona!
if it doesn't crowd out anything else
good, but it alone does not supply all
onr needs.
In recent years the advancement in
educational ideas has made prominent
the work of training or discipline.
The child is trained to do something
Education has become much blonder
jii its scope of what it does for th
child; and has been directed toward
more practical result3. Teachers aie,
more tlum evr before, teaching with
the end in view of preparing their pu
pils to make a living, to be useful
and to meet the n sponsibilities ot
life.
Tiie new idea is certainly a step in
advance, yet m these days when so
much attention is given to discipline
we should be careful not to forget the
knowledge side of education. Each
has its place ami neither should be
omitted at the xpen >e of the other.
He who follsws one of these ideas to
the exclusion of the other, is not fitted
to do the best work. True, educa
tion is not one-sided. The world is
full of knowledge of evef kind, of
feted free for the accepting: There
is abundance of work waiting tor
trained hands and minds and hearts; so,
such training should he given the
child as will enable bint, through life,
to do the most end to uo the best in
the various relations in which he
stands.
The teacher needs to keep in mind,
when teaching the child, the picture of
the man and what he should be; that
he should possess knowledge, the
more ol it the better, and the power
to get and to use knowledge; that he
should be trained as far as possible
for all work he will have to perform.
With such an ideal he knows what he
wants to make of his j upils, and in
stead of growing in the dark or mere
ly following others, he may do much
toward preparing rhern for “all the
purposes of human existence.*”

It was a large public school situated
