Man has "been created with certain powers and faculties of both mind and body, which need developement, and'are capable of improvement. In the inferior. animals when certain stages of physical development have been : reached, they -can perform all the functions of their kind and no more. It is not so with - male He . can avail himself of the ex- perience of his fellows, the accumulated experience of past ages, and advance to- wards perfection. All aviculturists know that it depends upon the treat- ment which the soil receives, whether it shall produce heavy crops of grain fit for food for inan or beast, or whether it shall. yield nothing but noxious weeds, or be- come a useless waste and an eyesore to the passer by. It is the satire with man. The child is father is to the man, and it depends considerably upon the treat- ment which that child receives, whether he shall become an active, energetic and enterprising citizen—a kind, benevolent, and good man, or whether he, shall be- come a slothful, lazy, indolent fellow, doing no, good to himself, and a burden to the community ; or, perhaps, he may become a prey" to all kinds of -vicious habits, until ultimately he finds himself an inmate of the jail, the penitentiary, or the lunatic asy1iim,-or' possibly . may end his life en the gallows.. We all must undergo an education _ of some kind, whether for weal or, woe, whether for good or bad. We cannot avoid it. The child of the pious Christian parent, who has nothing but a good- example set him, who has nothing but virtuous and Chris- tian principles instilled hate his mind, who has -all the advantages which ooc1teach- ers and good. schools can afford him, who is well fed and ,well cared for, has his education ; and that street Arab, who is driven out by his unnatural mother to-. procure the means to feed her accursed vices, who never enters -a school, who finds his companions : in the very worst slums of society, who knows . nothing of religion, nothing of God, except from the oaths which he so frequently hears, who often requires: to steal before he can be clothed and fed, who.ni no one knows,'no one cares for; has his education. In the one case we may expect something ;like good fruit, in the . other, nothing but noxious weeds. In the one case the use- ful and the good faculties are cultivated, in the other the vicious and the bad. It is our business, however, as educators, in the first place' to sow good seed, and in the next place to cultivate properly what is. sown, F.0 that it shall yield large re- turns, to make men useful citizens, peaceful members of society, and a bless- ing to those with whom they come in contact. In doing so we shall be requir- ed to eradiate those evil habits, which unfortunately spring up of their own ac- cord, and where they are least wanted, ,taking away the nourishment, and chok- ing up whatever good.may have been in- stilled into the mind, and casting a bane - LIVER*.

It must be made cler to them that he possesses this right, and. that he will not and.cannot alldw his authority to be dis- puted. -Whenever he exercises his auth- ority, it must be in accordance -with. justice. The child's sense Of right and wrong should never be violated, as when- ever it is there is more harm than good done. Again, he should be made to feel that it is for his own benefit, and for the benefit of the school that punishment is inflicted, and not to satisfy the caprice or temper of the master. In order to accomplish. this it ought to be calinly and deliberately given and not in a ti10- nnent of passion, Again, we should alr ways act upon. the principle, to— " Speak gently, it is better inT week on one q how, when the tention to it, was- the rule, solve it themselves. , I -Would be told of how well the masters acted on Lord By- ron's advice to schoolmasters when he says— France, Englanc I pray yeeflog the If it improves th I cannot reason to co To rule by love thim fear ; Speak gently, let not harsh words mar The good yen might do here." We ought to eneage the affections ef the children, as* Whenever the love and est eem of the children aro lost, the dis- cipline the work and all is lost, an.d un- less th'e teacher can regain it, he might just as well shift and allow some one else to fill it who can. The dis- position to love is strong in children, and especially manifests itself towards those, who take care of them. To secure this love , for himself, the teacher must be worthy of respect—must have a genuine care for their well-being, and naust have lore tor children. Possessed of this love ho has a power over them at once pure and active. This lOve disposes them to obey, leads them .to acts of self-d.enial, makes pleasant paths which otherwise have no attractions,and draws forth their confidence, by wbich means an insight is obtained into their characters which may be turned to the happiest account,. I might add a great deal more, but think I have said. enough at present. In conclusion I would. ask, is our school sys- tem what, it ought to be ? , Some parties, who, no doubt, are fond of vaunting, say that it is the best system krown. I be- lieve it possesses the germs of excellence —that it, is capable of ultimately being ina.de an excellent system, but that it is so now I do not believe. It is too popu- lar to be thoroughly efficient. The teach- er is too much at- th5 mercy of the ca- prie,e and whims of parties, to do his duty with judgment and. independence. lie is often under too strong a tempta- tion to sacri6.ce his own better judg- ment to the opinions of others. It is true that to do what is right is the best way to gain the esteem of the com- munity, but humanity ie weak and frail, ancl teachers are no exceptions to the rule. We 'have been making a gain in this respect, however, ,by the last School Act. 'Formerly we had no proper party to examine and test the work &one, • but popular opinion, and how often it errs, we all know. Now, however, we have properly qualified inspectors, who know what teaching is and. how it sheuld be done, to examine and test our work, and. that alone is a great gain. Other im- provements will ccme in due 'thee, as the country grows rive for them. In the mean time it is the duty of teachers to attend to their work as efficiently as possible, and by their outward conduct ancl deportment, ef6deavor to make the community respect them, and enlist their syrapathy in their work—to -work hand. in hand with the parent§ of the children, so as to make the Canadians of the next generation better, instead of worse, than their. fathers have been. Canada. • , Germany and Spain, well on all occasions, ie morals, never mind the pain." ay that I have any plain of any such sys- tem, yet I conot but think that at present instruction is made too easy for answerincr the true ends of education. Grant tat a boy is kept a week on one question ; if he solves it by his own un- aided efforts at the end :of that time, he has gained more than ivould be gained by ten such questions selved by the as- sistauce of the master. Re has learned that by perseverance and application dif- ficelties can be overcome by himself alone. He has learned that though lie had often failed, yet at last success had crowned his efforts, and that lesson, though learned atthe expense of a week's time, will teach him to act similarly whenever he gets into difficulties, there- after. I do not mean to say that we ought to allow them to remain for a week on any difficulty, but I do not think it is best to inake the road too easy.

A practice pre- vails in so display by exanainatim like it well pear well, ter than t dren know that, and will be apt to think that M all similar cases they ought to do the same, that they ought always to shesv the good qualities of an article and. to hide the bad. We should express the dapest a,bhorrenec, not only of actual falsehood, but of the slightest attempt to deceive, as when a lad whispers a re- ply to his neighbor, or steals a glance at his neighbor's slate.i We should never doubt the Word or conduct of any of the pupils unless they have previously de- ceived us. We Should be vigilant—never suspicious. A boy is strongly tempted to be what we expect him. We should endeavor to diminish tho opportunities of indulging this habit; by never allowing the confirmed liar to' speak to us on any subject OD. which he 'can lie, and by pre- venting his associatria with other chil- dren. Honesty shoidd be inculcated by establishing a strict regard for the property of other ehildren, by pointing out that it: is dish.onest to copy from their neighbor's books end slates, and thoroughly putting' clown the practice, by being ever careful to express our ap- proval of acts of honesty, and. never the ren's way.

In its most comprehensive scope it embraces both time and eternity.
