The fullowiug address was delivered
by Mr A. H. Manning, Clinton, Chair-
man of the Collegiate Institute Board,
to the teachers of the East Huron As-
sociation, at their meeting here recently,
and was at many tinges heartily ap-
plauded. The points referred to are
new and worthy of attention. By a
unanimous vote the teachers requested
its publication :—
A month hence and in over 1,000

light-hearted boys and girls, youths and
maidens, will be heard whispering to
one another about the fast approaching
holidays, and the pleasures and pas-
times which are to make that long in.
terval pass speedily, by. In a propor-
tion of these hcmes, so large that we
scarcely dare make a computation, other
voices will be heard expressing; opinions
of the holiday provisions of the law
very materially different from those of

in nine homes out often has been and
is being handed over to the Public and
High School teacher. Given up for
ten out of the twelve months, it is of
little value for the, other two. The Mo-
saic order, "Thou shalt teach them
diligently unto thy children," has been
revised, and the new revision is, "Thou
shalt elect school trustees, to engage
schoolteachers .to teach them diligently,
or otherwise, not only the A, B, C, but
obedience, courtesy, loyalty, patriotism
and the honoring, of father and mother,"
and a great' many other things too
numerous to mention, but "laid down
most. ful'ly in the regulations of the De-

With .neither apology for 'tor censure
of such parents, I turn my attention to
an imperfect ,consideration of this tre-
mendous responsibility placed upon the
teachers of the country, and to a friend-
ly criticism of the manner in which
they assume and carry this load.

Surely.no teacher will take the position
of a French master, who said, " We do
not prepare our pupils for life, but for
examinations." The teacher who Is
only a teacher, and nothing but a
teacher, will -hardly be a good teacher;
nor will the teacher who is only a
teacher pro tem, and a great deal of
something else most of the time be any
more successful. The teacher who feels
tbai whilst bending his chief energies
to the profession of his choice has also
the status of a citizen, and the honor of
a churchman to tphold, will prove the
ideal instructor and the best exampler.
Such, a teacher will realize that the
scholars before him .require for the fu-
ture something more than a drink or
two at the fountain of knowledge. In
return for the State trust lie will teach
the scholars manliness or 0omanliness,
morality, patriotism, courtesy, obeli -

In conversation with some teachers
they have said to me, " We have no
time for these things." There isj am
convinced, some truth in the remark.
By statute and regulation the school
hours are crowded with exercises, and
the home boars with preparation. Our
Legislature and the Department of
Education might have

into one General Act, to be entitlol,,An
Act to suppress all originality and spon-
taniety on the part of the teacher,"
and ,-the appointment of inspectors to
see that the same is most effectually
done." Our schools are being•systema-
tized to death; the teacher is becoming
an automaton, the children machinery
moved by Act of Parliament or'Depart-
mental regulation. Given the same
state of affairs, and Bronson Alcott's
story of his school Never would have
been told. Had our system then been in
existence, no one could now'write with
1 ardly prove ahuccess. He is contending
against nature ani will alniust certainly I
fail. Emerbou puts it, "the crowning I
fortune of a man is to be burn with a I
bias to some pursuit which duds him,"
IN ENIPLUYUENT ANL RAVI INEss.
It is au uncontroverted fact that no
man ever made an ill figure who under-
stood his own talents, nor a good one
who mistook them." Can anything be
more reasonable than!tosuppose that h_
who in attending to the duties of his
professiun can gratify the predominant
Faculty, the reigning passion of his
mind, who can "strike the master string
that makes must harmony gr discord iu
him," will be most successful. The
very fact that he has an original bias or
fondness and a predilection for a certain
pursuit is the beat possible guarantee
that he will faithfully pursue it. His
love for it aside from all other motives
will ensure the intensest application to it
as a matter of course. To put the teach-
ing profession upon its proper level the
same rules that govern other professions
must be followed. It must assume also
the Pauline direction "this one tiring I
do." The noble calling of the teacher
is worthy of some better usage han to
be merely the stepping stone to sbme-
thing erroneously styled higher. Exalt
it by the spirit of devotion you infuse
-into it.
Once more you teachers should not
forget that you are the custodians of

i)I8d1tELIT OF OUR OWN ELCCATIDN.#LlSTS ?
A practical Minister of Eclucation,such
as the present one, should be able to
d
remedy this evil. This overcrowduto
with studies and subjects affects the
scholars as well as the teachers. It
entrenches still further upon tile domain
of the home: Dr E. E. Hale, in the
North American• Review, gives these
-sledge•hammer--blows-at`what e-st"
"the machine system": -A few years
Ago before the introduction of what is
termed the system, it was understood
that a boy or girl had many things to
learn besides reading, writing and
arithmetic. Titus it was undgrstood
that a boy must know something about
his bands and Ifeet. He must known
what a bushel of wheat was when he
saw it, and how a blacksmith shod a
horse. Hemust know how to milk,how
plough, how to cradle oats ;how to drive
how to harness a horse, how to take off
a wheel, how to grease an axle. There
twere.ten thousand other things that he
mart know of useless importance, not
one of which • •
IS P.VE11 TArOI(T I'S SC1100L
For a girl it was undstood that in aver•
age life she must know, bow to make
and mend her clothes,and, her brother's,
and her father's, how to knead, to bake,
to stets, to boil and -to roast, how to
wash, how to iron, and' how to starch,
how to tear a bandage and how to put
one.on. These things cannot be taught
in the school, and.the present system
decrees that there should be no time to
them at home. There are so many
tasks and eseacises, - so much croivding
and cramming that 'that follows from
the new system is the discovery after a
fair trial that the children educated an -
der it have no experience with tools,and
tic ability with their hands, and but
•el. little. n w1L e f "'al life,
r k o 0 ractu hf .
y P
The Staie paying fol- the education of
its children does not receive what it
pays for.'
A perusal of many of the regulations
of the Department almost justifies the
opinion becoming very current that'they
have not been prepared by men whose
practical experience would entitle them
to perform such a task, but by some
theorist whose vanity is only satisfied
by seeing his speculations, in print duly
stamped with the seal of the Education
Departmanti and thrust upon the over.
pressed teacher and scholars. Some of
these regulations too have been forced
into effect by unthinking trustees- and
parents, One subject after another has
been clamored for until the curriculum
is crowded and every moment is take,
up. To the simple course of what used to
.s
consist of the threeli's thi. that and the
other thing has been, at the instigation
of Tont, Dick and Harry, added, and still
there is more to follow. In church
some Sunday the choir falls and a pro-
conious parent commences an agitation
for
Tilt•: TYW11IN6 UY :d Uhtt'
In the school. A boy snakes it mistake
in the inillor's offico about a handful of
wheat, and forthwith it ill requested
that ,-agriculture" shall be put on the
course. Some untidy citizen neglects
his yard for seasons, his family suffer
from typhoid, acid tit once there is a cry
for hygiene. Our Legislatures refuse
to do the right thing with the liquor
traffic, and our well-meaning Temper-
ante women knock at the door of the
Department and imperatively demand
that tyle overtaxed little ,pinds shall
further receive lessons on Temperance.
In the home these friditers could have
been dealt with in a more, satisfactory
manner than in the school if the Minis-
ter hud' relegated them to 'that place.
It suroly requires no argument to prove
that such things belong to the home
domain. The best primary lessons in
hygiene for the boys tire cloan yards and
pure wells. Give the girls an organ or
a piano and they will take up music.
Show the children the benefits of total
abstinence by personal conduct, and
they gill not require lessons on the
nature of aloobol. By the introduction
of these extra studies the thoory of oda-
cation is wholly transformed, and .
TILE FUNDAMENTAL IDEA OF A 110011 SCAOUL
is forgotten. Children surely are really
sent to school not to learn facts, but to
learn how to learn them. In our pre.
sent system, however, the teacher is li
compelfed to pour in avalanche after
avalanche of facts. Thus lie knows
that they destroy in their progress the
careful ro> dways he has been building.
Fewer subjects and more home training
are reforms urgently needed.
Do the teachers as a rule honor their
profession as momberg of the otherpro-
femions honor theirs'? What propor
tion of those who enter the pedagogic
ranks intend to remain there? No
'young man studies medicine or passes
