THURSDAY, OCTOBER MI, 1902,
PRESENT DAT NCHOOL T14UREta$.
Tram the teitehrll Recorder.
It was our privilege during the past
week to attend the county convention
and meet the school teachers in their
annual gathering. We never stood
before a brighter or more interesting lot
of people ; and certainly never beton a
more honorable body. The late Dr.
Talmage was Once asked what class of
the people be oonsidered contributed
Most directly to the building of the
Ideal nation, He replkd that it he
wens asked to convene a congress of the
great patten builders in the common
wealth of the United States he would at
onca set about calling together all the
good mothers of the land. This is, of
course, a very nice compliment to the
Mothers, but it to purely sentimental.
With all respect due to the wisdom of
the late noted divine i and with all
honor to the good mothers, we would
take Issue with him on that great point.
We would Instead of the mothers eatl
together the school teachers of the land.
It is a truth that the home is the tono-
detioe of the nation ; but the home
without the services of the school mas-
ter would make a very insubstantial
foundation for the nations of this en-
lightened age. The good mothers have
meek to do with forming the disposition
of the child and developing its finer in-
stincts, but the qualities that count for
citizenship have more to do with the
training of the mind and intellect than
the mere development of the tenderer
emotions and sensibilities. The rela-
tionship between the child and the
mother is a sort of absorbed relation-
ship. That between the child and the
teacher is one of authority and ,stab-
lished discipline. There is no human
{wttgot more deeply seated than the
instinct of order --of reocgntaed author-
ity, of government land obedience. The
densest sow yet discovered has that
instinct. AlI.degraea of humanity look
for a chief, a king, a governor, or some
symbol of authority. The school teach-
er is the first eyi bol of that kind that
appeals to the mind and the iustinots of
the child. The mother's authority is an
authority exercised through love. For
the first time the child Concehem the
majesty of law, or of constituted dis-
cipline, when it comes nutter the con.
trol of the teacher. From that mom-
ent the teacher is a greater law unto
the child than the mother, and what
the teacher says or does bee a more
enduring and mementoes irepressiou
upon its life and character.
This, then, is our contention, and this
is where we differ from the late Dr.
Talmage, that the school teacher is a
greater influence than the mother as a
Dutton builder—if that term may be so
used.
In old Scottish folk -tore the dominie
is given a conspicuous and honorable
place. 1f a community failed in any
important particular to reflect the
character, opinion, and the general
deportment of the parson and the demi-
rile there was something mysteriously
and gravely wrong. Either the ser-
mons had failed to impress, or the ruler
had been spared to the spoiling of the
child, or to the advantage of the evil
Otte. In the earlier literature and cur-
rent foil -lore of New England the
school muter abroad was given a
Prominent place, and his importance
wee very generally and repeatedly eta -
Opined. In no age of the world has
the school teacher been more highly
valued and respected than he is today.
And tykat.fordo us much pride to ay,
in no age has he been more worthy of
respect.
But respect is a Tery poor pay mss-
' tar. While, as e matter of respectibil-
- ity, we pay our plergymen enough to
keep them in seopi-affiueoce, we reward
the majority of our school teachers, for
their great charsater-forming services,
gime graduates have ecoeptd cool pat-' just enough tokeep them out of beggary.

PRINCIPAL
Baying that the salaries paid to many
of our teachers are a disgrace to our
prosperous land, and a discredit to our
civilisation.
But there are mere teachers, as well
as teachers .pd character -builders, If
the teacher, as we hold, is the real
nation builder, he should do more than
teach the teat book. He should stand
first before his pupil as a living model
of whet a man or woman should be,
neat as possible in his attire, correct es
possible in his manner, speech and con-
duct. He should be able to lead hie
pupils in deductions away.. from their
text books into the realms of nature,
into the world of commerce, and into
the numberless avenues of thought and
human activities, and impress upon
biro lessons from actual life.
A clergyman in one of the pulpits of
this town nor many months ago said be
would rather give a young christian a
few ounces daily of good practical com-
mon sense religion, than lay before him
a hundred tone of the Shorter Cate-
chism. With some teachers there is
too much text book and not enough de-
duction and example, A teacher that
cannot adapt himself or herself to this
requirement or rise to this ideal, cannot
get out of the profession too soou. But
generally speaking our teachers are a
eapsble and honorable body of men and
women, and worthy our highest roepect,
and considerable more of our cash. It
will be sometime before we look again
into the faces of so many bright and
interesting people as we beheld at the
teachers' convention in Stratford last
week.
—Hurrah for Tarte, so bright and
smart I—From the sayings and musings

BIH JOHN NOURINOT.
Sir John Bourinot, who died the other
day after a long illness, had lived out a
well-rounded life. Few, indeed, are the
oivil servants who are able, to the
extent that he was able, to rise above
the limitations of that life of restraint,
to break through the multiplied bar-
riers of red tape, and to become a figure
of national interest. Sir John was,
indeed, a sort of glorified servant of
the Crown. The respect paid to his
words was lea a concession to his high
station than a tribute to his unrivalled
mastery of a difficult subject. He was
a great authority on constitutional
practice and parliamentary procedure,
so great that his name will be honored
long after his personality has been for-
gotten. He was carried into literature
by his passion for research. His works
are valualde because he was eager in
the pursuit of material facts. He will
not probably be appraised a great
writer, but ha was at least a great
student, and he bad a deep and never-,
failing interest in the unfolding of
Canada's national development. What
he could do towards defining Canada's
position he did on many occasions.
His highest merit, however, lay in hie
capacity fot the work by which he
lived. The Bouriaot of Parliamen-
tary Procedure" will take rank above
Bourinot the author and the Bourinot
of the Royal society.
