this. way not only are better lexsoni se
cured, but the school beembes in
j a meas
ure self-governing, and more than all, a
habit is formed which will be of umold
benefit during life. .The .easiest controll
ed school is the, hardest worked school.
The teacher tarit, work himself, if he ex
pects his scholars to work,. It is said that
" love begets love ;" if this be, true cer
tainly interest begets interest. lf the
teacher is thoroughly interested in the ad
vancement of each student of his school,
in most cases the scholaii will themselves
be interested. We once knew a teacher
who during the first_ two years of, her
teaching' was 'almost an entire failure.
While lamouting her lack of FI/CUSB, a
friend tad Ler that slie must think more
of her scholars and take a deeper person
al interest in
.each one's advancement.
She Billowed the advice given, and the
result was a remarkable change, arid slit./
afterward taught a'number of years with
great Success and enjoyment. All know
that ten' indifferent teacher makes an in
different class, or school: It is impossible
for a teacher with a heart full Of earnest
ness and love for his wcirk to meet a class
day after day Nvitliont the class imbibing
in 3eIllea:illle the same spirit. The teach
er breathes it out ; they must inhale it.
The teacher ought always to insist that
the lesson be well prepared. A long les
son can be recited in a short period, if
only well prepared. To secure this result
the lesson should be' no longer than the'
class can learn. Too short rather than
tee long. As much as possible the I les
sons should .be recited topically, the
teacher asking questions on parts the stu
dent may have omittedyand makingother
interrogations as the recitation may te.
quire, but always first allowing the scholar
to answer what he can without the aid of
questiens. A question. often half incudes
'the answer and thus the child does' not
have a fair opportunity of doitig justice
to himsidf. Further the ' practi.;m, under
the guidance of the teacher, of telling,
'what he knows about a subject in a con
nected narrative is in itself an excellent
_./.
exertise. ' "Irir ' j • :
In a future article we will continue thiri
subject. ,
1 It was ourgood fortune, a .short time
since, to visit the public school of Wells
burgh, N. Y., of which , Prof. S. N. Gibbs
is Principal, and we desire to say to the
teachers of Bradford County, that the
school is one of the best conducted that
weever saw, approaching, in 'many re
spects, o& ideal of a model school. 'I be
following brief unconnected .notes were
jotted down during our, short visit, and
aro here published for the benefit df the
teaciters.Of Bradford County :
ZZ/31
order is the first law of the school-
P
Azioom, our attention was first called to this
' - fact.. While all seemed quiet as need be,'
r there was an absence of that formality
drill 'stiffness which pervades so many
school rooms or - strict disciplinarians, and
a subdued Und homelike cheerfulness
seemed to pervade both pupils and teach
er, . Mr. Gibbs informed us that he made
very few rules for the government of the ,
school, c4cept the one - general rule to do
right; and that his reason for administer
ing punishment—which was done only iu
rare cases—was not that a rule had been
broken ; but that:the pupil had done what
wag-known to be wrong. Much tact and
ingenuity were exercised in :ii i cstraining
n hat are usually sonic of the Most serious
annoyances of the . Fehotil room, 'and esp...
cially in turning them to the actual rid
vantlige of the pupils. TO illustrate on
the matter of miscellancoas questions.,
the pupils are at liberty to ask as many
-and at such times as they pleased ; but in
order to be-recognized, the request must
be put in writing, dated, propeily capital
ized, punctuated - and addressed.
The practical working of this rule was
to abolish a.large number of frivolous and
useless questions, and to make such as
were proper; a practical and exercise in
one of the most common and important
branches of composition. Thus one of
the must common annoyances of the
school room, while nbt abolished, was so
far restrained as to be harmless and at
the same time so directed as to be of act
ual benefit to the school.
A MODEL SCHOOL•
' Whether; - tbe idea be original with Prof.
Gibbs," we know not, but we are sure that
it will be neW tc many of the teachers in
Bradford County, and. rnight with very
excellent ,results be put in practice Jr
heir schools
Another point wherein excellent judg
ment seemed to ho displayed, was the
management of the primary grades of pu
pils. It is a well known and recognized
fact by all good educators that a largo
portion of the tirne of small children must
be spent in recreation—it being impossi
ble for them to fix the mind steadily upon
any due subject for any great length of
time. The great problem is how to make
this recreation profitable to the child.
Prof. Gibbs has made one Ete p , towards
this, in turning to advantage the known
tove of . children for concert recitation,
One or twice each day• for a period, of
abOut ten minutes, 'between the regular
intermissions, the children of each gide
were called to their feet and required to
lay aside their books and take 'part in a
concert recitation on 80/110, subject entiro
ly disconnected with their routine studies
—the Principal devoting halt ar) boar dal-
Itheentire etymology of Kerts Common

finitions rer&afim in the language of the
b oo k.
While there may be a difference of
opinion as tothe7g - ;,..r.cfal utility of of ver
batim reeitati , ms which we have neither
time nor ieclination to discuss in this ar
ticle, we Would say that the ability pos
ses...led by the .-children •rPpeat nem
lately the latoge of the book might
:veil be envied t hy snarly teachers both in
our common and higher sehools. .And
this seas nog:tired not by cramming or by
the neglect or other studies, but as a re
. e.-eatioa from regular routine studies to
Isiah a few nionicuts only were devoted
c h s:udy. If it be asked by some cyni
ca critic wl.etLer the children understood
wh t they bad learned we answer that
this as not expce.,:ed: But they have
laid a ay in the store-house of memory a
vast a coact of usef&l , aand.iect tea

arrives. it short they have mastered the
most dista. teful drudgeri both of the La
tin and Ea,,lish Grammars,' regarding the
i• '
act as a plea ant pastime, rather than a
tiresome and allotions task. The know:-
edge of these ci l l. i dren, however, seems to
t.
extend beyond e simple mechanical rep
etition of definittons, rules, declensions
and conjugations,\,s. was evidenced by
their accurateAranslation of siMpJeiatin
phrases.

These are a few of the characteristics 1
1
t of the school which impressed us most •
strongly, and to which many more might
be added did space ° permit. Several oth-
I cr features deserve a far more extended
notice than can- ha given here. One of
Lthese is the written examinations which
tithe place every Friday. The papers on
which . the answers are written are requir
-111 ed to be of uniform size, folded and filed
I by the pupils in the neatest and most 20-
1 curate manner, after the Manner of busi
i 'less and legal papers. The blackboards
1 Which surrounded the room, were cover
ed with topical. analysis in every branch
of study pursued in the sel.ool, placed up
on'the board, not for show, brit by, the
1 pupils as a regular and daily exert:llst) in

practiced with success and profit in every
country school—such ,as competitive ex
aminations, monthly reporti, and " choos

We-also noticed the Latin class diagram
ming, according to Clark's system, with
a few Modifica l tions introduced by Prof.
Gibbs, some of the most difficut Construc-:

In short, to give' anything like a coin'
plete description of the workings of the
school, and the methods pursued in tho
different branches would require ten times
the 4p4ce'rhich we'are at liberty to occu r
pyhe&e. But weare sure that any teach 7
