Closing School—A Suggestion.
There are at least three modes of;
ending the school term; or rather,
there are three classes of teachers, and !
each has, necessarily, its own method
of closing the professional relations be
tween pupil and instructor.
110 who teaches so many davs for >o '
much money, will impatiently look for I
the last, day of the terra which is to
release him from his unwilling task,
entitle hiiu to the last instalment of j
his salary and set him at liberty tode j
vote his time to some more congenial
employment. Such a schoolmaster,
either from want of appreciation of the j
i nportanee of the occasion, or of in
elination to meet its requirements,
marks the last day of the term with ,
nothing save an extra degree of iinpa
tienee of its duration and carelessness
of its i"sua 1 routine duties; and, it may ,
be that he shortens the irksome hours
by an early and an uncordial dismissal
of the school. On their part, glad to
be freed from the tiirahiroiu of such a i
school, the pupils huddle up their books I
and rush forth like liberated prisoners,
rejoicing that the morrow and the next i
day and the next, for weeks and months, '
will be free of school and its tedious i
tasks and its unloved master.
The representative of another class i
resolves to make a show at the end ol j
the term, ami to build up his profes- j
sional reputation upon the specious but ;
shallow foundation ola public exanii- j
nation—so called. Weeks are devoted
to the preparation. Set questions in
all the branches are selected, ard mem
orized answers titled to them. f ieci- i
mens of penmanship. kindly touched !
up or "painted'' by the master, are
ready. Intricate sums are practiced |
on the blackboard, till worked off with I
a rapidity and expertness that plainly !
show that drilled lingers not disciplined ;
mind are at work; and the whole is to j
terminate with a comic dialogue, or, it !
may be with some scenes of a stage-!
play, with costuineaudall the mouthing
mimicry ol the theatre. The last day [
and the last ni<;ht of the term are thus 1
passed with eclat; and pupils and teach
ers meet no more. And well it is so; j
for how they could consistently meet
the next day to take a solemn leave of:
each other, it is hard to conceive.— '
Alike deceivers and deceived, words of !
truth and honesty between them would ;
be out of place. Or, if they meet at !
all, it can only he to injure each other j
more permanently, bv rejoicing over,
the success of the fraud.
Another class there is,—and we are
glad to think it is the most numerous,
—the members of which desire to dis
tinguish the closing of the term with
some observances suitable to the im
portance of the occasion. By this re
remark we do not wish to exclude that
real' public examination of pupils in j
the whole scope of their studies, which !
tests fairly and fully the amount of their
progress Neither would we exclude
that proper exhibition of readings, de-!
clamations, &e., prepared for without
loss of time during the term, and re- !
sorted to for some worthy purpose at i
its close, —at which no one professes I
more than he knows, or exhibits any- j
thing unsuitable. But in addition to :
this or these, if resorted to, it has al- <
ways seemed to us that there should
be a regular formal closing of the I
school and a leave taking between :
teacher and pupil. And it is in refer- j
enco to this that we now venture a
suggestion.
During the trials and vicissitudes of!
the term, the teacher, if qualified lor i
the position, will have pretty accurate- :
iy ascertained, not only the abilities I
but the disposition and character of
every pupil. While they have been
learning from him, he has learned
much of them. What shall ho do with
t *i* knowledge? Is lie to remain sat
isfied with the clue it afforded him in !
the management of the school, or, is 1
he to endeavor to turn it to greater
account by bringing it to bear at the
solemn hour of separation upon their j
future career as men and women?— !
This question would seem to be plainly
suggested by the occasion; and if so, j
the further question arises,—how shall
it be answered? And if in the affirnia- i
tive, then arises the still further ques j
tion—how shall this duty be dis
charged?
The nature of the occasion seems to
indicate its own treatment; the existing
feelings to admit of but one line of
conduct.
The honest, zealous, qualified teach
er has, as a matter of course, obtained
the respect and confidence of his pu
pils. The parting is, to him, a solemn
event, brings before him the sense of his j
responsibility in its fullest extent. To
them, making all allowance for the
buoyancy of youth and the feeling of;
relief l'roin school duties, it is also se
sious. The hearts of all are softened, i
Every asperity is removed. On the i
one side, unformed character is in its
most plastic state lor impression. On
the other, more power is possessed for
making impression than at any former
period in their mutual relations.
This is, then, no tiirc for formal lec-!
tures, didactic precepts; or at least, !
these are not the best means to be em
ployed at this peculiar and most pro-!
pitious season. Let the teacher not so
waste it.
What shall he do?
He has no doubt made some mis- j
takes and committed some errors—un
intentional of course—during the terra.
Undue severity may have been em- j
ploywd. under a misapprehension of,
the circumstances. The innocent even
may have been punished. Dullness
may have been mistaken for want of
application. Wrong motives may have
been erroneously attributed. 11 is own
temper, from indisposition or other
causey may have given way. Hasty
words may have been spoken. To al
lude to, to explain, to acknowledge and
to make amends for these, is the part
of the christian and the gentleman.
To do it frankly and teelingly, on this,
the last day, "will, at onee 'give him
the hearts' of his pupils. It will ena
ble him to speak to them of their own
short-comings and defects, with an el
feet which no other combination of cir
cumstances can equal.
Let him improve this rare opportu
nity by speaking-to his school, not on
ly collectively as to conduct and pro- i
gross, but to each individual. A boy
who was noted for wildness, and inat
tention, at the opening of the school,
has become well behaved and studious,
Let him have credit before his school
fellows, and be cheered on in the good
work of reformation Another studies
well hut behaves badly. Let credit
f.r the one trait and admonition for
the other bo given. Another lags be
bind his classes because frequently and
habitually absent or late. Let the evil
effects of these practices be plainly j
pointed out. A girl is intelligent, stu- j
diou* and regular, but withal proud ol
her talents and disposed to look down j
on others. With due credit for her;
gifts, let the value of charity and hu
mility be made known Another is j
talkative and quarrelsome, but of good I
parts. Let the proper advice be kit d
ly imparted. In short, let every pu j
pil see that he or she is known in all
respects and without reserve to the j
teacher; that his interest in them is
equal to his knowledge of their peculi
arities, that he has been carefully
studying them, not to get out of them
a certain number of creditable recita
tions, but to improve their characters
and make of them good men and wo
men By this means, we are very |
much deceived if this his last lesson
become not in the end the best of the
term.
Another matter should not be omit
ted. In all schools there will be rival
ries and quarrels amongst the pupils.
A few kind and appropriate words now, '
will enable the teacher to see them do- ;
part with all such heart-burning re
moved, and with the true and right
feelings of School fellows.
On this occasion, also, some advice
may be given to the more advanced '
pupils, as to their future studies and
an appropriate course of reading, dur
ing the recess of the schools.
It is not necessary to follow out this
subject. Every teacher with a heart
as well as a head, will do better than i
wo can tell him. To those without
hearts, we uo not write. —Pa. School ■

Dumplings, (Fine Suet.) —Grate the j
crumbs of a stale six cent loaf, and l
mix it with half as much beef suet,!
chopped as fine as possible. Add a j
grated nutmeg, and two large table- :
spoonfuls of sugar. Beat four eggs
with four tablespoonfuls of white wine
or brandy. Mix all well together to a
stiff paste. Flour your hands, and
make up the mixture into balls or!
dumplings about the size of a turkev
egg. Have ready a pot of boiling
water. Put the dumplings into cloths
and let them boil about half an hour.
Serve them hot and eat them with
sa uee.
Dumplings (Light)— Mix together as |
much grated bread, butter and beaten 1
eggs (seasoned with powdered cinna
mon) as will make a stiff paste. Stir ;
it well. Make the mixture into round
dumplings, with your hands well flour- !
ed. Tie up each in a separate cloth 1
and boil them a short time—about fit- i
teen minutes. Eat them with saucej
or with molasses and butter.
Ice ( Apple Water.)— Pare and core j
some fine apples, cut them in pieces !
into a preserving pan with sufficient '
water for them to float, boil until they
are reduced to a marma lad e, t! Ie n stra in •
to a pint ol apple-water add halfapint
of syrup, the juice of a lemon, and a
little water; when cold, freeze.
Pear Water lee is also prepared in
the same way.
Jam (Raspberry.)— Take one pound
of loaf-sugar to every pound of fruit:
bruise them together in your prcserv- ■
ing-pau with a silver spoon, and let
them simmer gently for an hour.—
When cold put them into glass jars
and lay over them a bit of paper satu
rated with brandy—then tie them up •
so as carefully to exclude the air. i
Mange (Rice Blanc.)— This forms an
excellent accompaniment to preserves
of any kind, or to baked apples. It is
made as follows : put one teaeupful of'
whole l ice into half a pint of cold wa
ter; when the rice cracks, or begins ;
to look white, add one pint of milk
and a quarter of a pound of loaf sugar. :
Boil it until the rice has absorbed"
the whole of the milk, stiring it fre
quently the whole time. Put into a
mouldi, and it will turn out when quite :
cold. If preferred hot, it may be again
made warm by being placed in the
oven lor a short time. It may be fla
vored with lemon, cinnamon. &c., but
is more wholesome without, and forms
both an elegant and very economical
dish at any time.

EXCELSIOR
HAJR RESTORER,
! The Jiest Preparation for the Hair Peer]
Introduced to the Public.
IT IS warranted to restore Gray Hair to its
natural color. Make Hair grow on bald J
I heads, where the disease is not hereditary; i
' stop Hair from falling off or turning gray; I
I cure all eruptions of the scalp; remove scurf, j
1 dandruff, &e . and allay all itching. It will
j cause harsh, wiry hair to become soft, pliable !
j and luxuriantly gioesy. It is
Elegantly Perfumed,
j ai.d is all that can be desired for a dressing, j
It does not soil the finest linen n r stain the :
: nicest bonnet It is not a dye, but by sup- '
plying Capillary glands, acts as a restorer.
I This preparation contains no Sugar of Lead \
j or other minerals so deleterious to the head j
and hair, and of which most of the com- I
pounds in the market are made but is a
Purely Vegetable Production.
We challenge the world to produce an in- j
i stance where the Restorer has failed when
used according to directions. It is used and I
! recommended bv the Clergy and the Faculty. \
The proprietor is aware of tho many who i
have been disappointed by the high sonndiug
! pretense of the numerous hair preparations 1
with which the market has been filled for a
few years past, but such
Entire Confidence
.
does he place in the merits of his Restorer
that he offers in cases to refund the money
after a thorough trial of two bottles, if it
fails to give perfect satisfaction. Mothers, j
whose children's hair is harsh and wiry, or
thin and scant, will find by using the Re
storer it will immediately improve, thereby
laying the foundation for a good head of hair,
so desirable in after life.
I
A Single Trial
will convince the most sceptical of its merits.
Once use it and you will always use use it.
