Still the importance . and responsibility of that office, are Sadly - uhdei valued. And while, oiher professions tlit deal with inanimate nature only, receive the utmost attention, the teacher, he who is 'to -moujd the character of the coming gener ation, io purify the life-blood of the Republic, to' prepare. the Minds of men for the various duties of life, and fora long eternity, enters upon -his school-room duties, and, therebY takes upon 'himself this great responsibility ithout aux preparation, or even-thonght.of the overwb . .elming influence which is his rff exert. .The tencb s er alone is responsible for the intellect; id fit prevenient of -dram! under his . charge..

For instance the' study of• Ge ography can be made mere interesting when taught in connection-With, History, and such is the Cu-e witil'Arithnietic and Grammar, for they can, certainly be more succesfully taught by having a thorough knowledge of Algebra,: Geometry""" and Rhetoric. The teacher should be thorough with his pupils; he bust ever remember that they are to be. benefited by that which they grasp and retain —not""only by a. mere superficial knowledge. A few fundamental subjects well digested and line erstood are of more real permanent value than a superficial knowledge of count less themes. Thoroughness, -then, shotild be the teacher's aim • and not only should be be thorough, but endeavor - to make every reel _ ration as pleasing as possible to the minds of his pupils, and by. so doing be may have the _, glory of wakening some dorniant mind. m , .
