It is universally acknowledged that order
is essential to.the ha »iness and success of

' and front my own short experience.
Two objects will naturally present thein
. selves fur our consideration, viz :—The rul
er and the ruled, the teacher and the taught.
The station of the former. though humble
it may appear in the eyes of thousands, is
howeter none the less honorable. Great
injustice is done by many to this station, a
station that shokld be looked upon as sacred
and should be exalted with the praise of ev
ery tongue ; for to it art looks for its archi
tect, the merchant for his clerk, the liar for
its lawyers end judges, the church for its
ministers, the statv"for its rulers and states
men, the world for its progress and re
formatibn. It being of such vast import
ance to all callings and professions of lite,
,7rent *pains should be taken to have this
station tilled with competent individuals.
Children from a variety of homes, where
the widest diversity of parental and doilies
tic influences prevails, enter the school-room
where there must be a comparative even
senor. All bear more or. less the impres
sions made upon them by their parents and
associates, whether they be good or bad.—
Some were raised with the tender bud of
Christianity planted and nourished in their
flexible hearts; some were indulged in eve
ry wish ; some by too severe restraint from
the enjoyment of innocent amusements have
endeavored to attain them by stealth, artifice
and falsehood ; some by the vicious exam
ples of their parents and corruptimr influence
of vile associates have been accustomed to
bad habits and corrupted with vicious
prin
ciples since the very beginning of their ex
istence; some have ainbitious and some
avaricious feelings lost illed in their
pliable hearts, and others have been work.
by the lips of their parents to pronounce
oaths nod blasphemy and even to despise
the Oiver of all good gills and to be hoed
less of his commands. Of such we find the
school to consist ; and all hougb coining from
homes where they are raised with so wide
13' dillerent characters, and where the vari
ous influences mould the heart in as many
different shapes, must be made to Obey the
salmi rules ad,a egulations,. to take up the

ses, to search after the same jewel and to
aim at the sane results. Among these the
teacher is required to maintain order, that
he may disseminate 'knowledge in their
minds and correct principles in theinhearts.
To do this the teacher must certainly be
gifted with superior talents. Ile nitist

The teacher should not govern merely
for-the-sake-orbeing-ebeyed,or-it-wilbmake•
him a despot in the eyes of his pupils. Ile
should midi aver to make government an
arrangement for the benefit of the governed
as well as of the ruler. It should be equal
in its application to the whole school, large
and small, rich and pour, male and female.
No privileged class or miniature nobility as
is very often the ease, should be raised.—
There should be no favorites chosen or pre
ferences made on account of external quali
ties mid ;ill vantages. Inuit should be.iuipnr
tial ev , ry rost+ect, for it is with the soul
and no , with the tttalth and fortunes of thi s
world he has to do. Ile should in all cases
act in accordance with th'e dictates of his cort
science and be free from caprice and sel
fishness. Ile should in all cases endeavor
to train the conscience of the child, as soon
as it conies into his hands. To do this the
teacher, particularly of small children ought
to understand human nature well and be
competent to teach them not only the alpha
bet. as is frequently the case in our other
wise flourishing State, but also to lay a (mod
foundation fur the-mental and in mil milw re
of the pupil ; upon this the strength and
durability of the structure chiefly dt•p'•tid
In the school-room, as in tiationcl
over-government is wore thin' u.. ct'Vt' -
mr n t The teacher should make but fete
rules; for where many rules are. there will
also be many transgressions; And if thus
overburdened with rules the children will
not heed the dictates of conscience, but will
only take care Out to be detected in the vio
lations of those rules. Impress upon every
mind the comprehensive rule of I lily-writ.
"Do unto others its you wish others to do
unto you." And since all children can, to
a certain extent, distMguish between right
and wrong, 'upon which the teacher can
safely rely, the words "Ito right" sowed in
their hearts will certainly bring forth abund
ant fruit. Through such. rules the, child's
conscience is esercised and it will become
better able
. to judge of deeds whi.Oer they
are right or, whether they arc ii: roots. I I
the school is governed by it smog of rules
the pupils Will he apt to think, that all that
is not prescribed or forbidden iu .so runny
words, is admissible. it is impossible to
"Italie rules for every case that ()cents in the
school-room ; for the cases are innumerable
like the sands on the sea-shore.
The affection of the pupils for their teach
er is no doubt one of the most putverial in
strumentalities for governing them and for
securing gaol order. A nil:lied approval
of good condact nod good intentions, and a
decided disai)proval of e . . : ery thing wrong.
will generally meet with success. Jlany ,
believe, that the teacher should •be able to
govern all the various dispos . itions, that are
placed wider his care without the use of
corporal punishment, but as soon would it
be possible to Say to the mighty waves:
Till here shall, Ye roll, here shall your proud
waves he stayed ; for words alone cannot in
every case soften the hearts ‘‘ hich.a lath:
er, a mother, or the world has hardened.,—
Yet is undoubtedly a fact that there is by
far.too much corporal punishment inflicted,
impeding the prog,rccs and welfare of our
schools.
Great care should be exercised • in pun
ishing. if it is resorted to by the teacher
to gratify his temper, or tvith a feeling of
reven,ge,, he will appear to them a tyrant
instead of a friend . , whom they should love
and rVS Iwo. Ile should fir,t call then] to
duty and Make them feel that they have er

viction of conscience. Kind reproof giVen
in private, when the conscience is free to
act, and when it readily-yields us the

tainly the most effectual punishment that
can be ,used. But beware. not to use that
dangerous instrument, the tongue, to freely
