On invitation Prof. Richardson ; then open-%
ed the session with prayer...On, motion, the -
subject of school government-and the best

Prof. Richardson said a young teacher la
bored under great difficulty on fiiit 'going in- .
to sehool from not having very clear ideas of
Ithe proper management:and government ofs
I school: . ..' - - ' . 1 ' - -
Every teacher should understand the phys.
leal and moral constitution of the pupil, as.
well as the intellectual, and the -best filode of
edueating.tbem; and they would thereby six
ceed much better in government. 1 . -' ' -
I ' No 'scholar could be expected , to sit upon'
l a bench which has no back, and where his feet- -
cannot reach the floor, without feeling an tin- ~
easiness which is almost sure to esss.iftst , - iv
self in, mischief and disobedioce. . - •
- S. 'W .
. Tewksbury said he liked moral sua
sion much better than _legal restraint—teacb
ers should always be - plelistint 7 :-should gain
the esteem of their pupils—vMuld use his in
fluence to have a refractory pupil expelled
from school.., - I '• -
Z. E. Loomis said he had had-butlittle ex.
1 perience in te.achingj and had - hardly formed
i , any definite opinion in regard to government.' -
Said he had taught in Illinois, but that the
school system of that:State was not equal to
that of Pa. ' • -. ' -
JAVoix l said he preferred moral su4on to *
anything else as lOng as, it.did good - , ea& then
tsjectnielit from the - school rather than 'a re
sort to corporal punishment. That the , best
mode Of instruction was that which would in-
terest _the pupil most. .3. F. Tewksbury .
said that as mind: (=trolled 'all the move;
meats of the physical system, and as • : it-was.
necessary to
, govern". the Mind in order'to .
Control the phytal. actions, and as mind -
could - only be act upon and governed by •
mind, therefore all governments, in the true
and - most exalted sense,otthe term, could be
' nothing mere thin the control whith superior
exercises over inferior, mind. :If a scholar is
refractory,. the cause is-to be founifin his or.
gnnization; either natural or cult'vated, and is
no more snseeptiveof being whipped out, than
kindness and benevolence is of•being whipped

!Benj. Dix, 'Esti. said he could not . give ei- I

school. Was:
in favor, of moral suasion- -

inhuinan -aarbarity of a monster, and .tho't be.
