Make Unhappy Homes—Their Condition Irritates Both
Husband and Children—How Thousands of Mothers
Have Been Saved From Nervous Prostration and
Made Strong and Well.
(4irsA/her! /Mann
A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of hysterics, is unfit to care
for children ; it ruins a child's disposi-
tion and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak-
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that gpvern-
ing children involves ; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine -
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous despondency, " the blues " sleep-
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise frnm some derangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, su that one minute you
10.1 the next mninute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like a hall ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you ; all the senses. perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound ;
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders ; bearing -down
pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental) hat nothing in
the world is better for AlErvous prostra-
tion than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound ; thousands and thousands of
women can testify to this fact.

from the coon t of angels, but that
work is never given nor will,any joy be
possible to heart of man. Let the
teacher beware of such a state, ment-
ally, as that just subscribed.
Children cannot be forced to like the
school. They like it when it is worth
liking—when they learn. If daily sur-
rounded by those influences that ele-
vate them they will at last cultivate
their notate ambitions and realize the
full manhood. Man is able to use
for bps advancement only such ma-
terial as has become valuable through
experience. He may pronounce the
words of a masterly essay but unless
he follows the author's reasoning and
weigh his arguments, his mind fails to
act in consonance with that of the au-
thor and there is no growth. He may
look upon a work of art but if he fails
to catch the spirit of the master it will
bring to him no culture. The public
school hints at the development of all
the faculties with the ultimate purpose
of leading to better citizenship and
nobler character. It must not there-
fore neglect any opportunity for broad-
ening and deepening the essentials of
a complete life. The child judges by
comparison and as he begins to reach
out into the real world beyond the
teacher's influence his natural tenden-
cy is to compare the new things with
the old ones made familiar in the years
of his school life.
In speaking of the status of a teach-
er the words of the eminent French
statesman, M. Guizot, may be recalled:
"We must take pains to procure for
the public school thus constituted an
able master and worthy of the high
vocation of instructing the people. It
cannot be too often repeated that it is
the master that makes the school. A
good school master ought to be a man
who knows much more than he is call-
ed upon to teach with intelligence and
taste, who is to live in a humble sphere
and vet have a noble and elevated
mind, that dignity of mankind and of
deportment without which he will
never obtain the respect and confid-
ence of families; who possesses a rare
rhixture of gentleness and firmness,
the obsequious servant of none, a man
ot ignorant of his righta but thinking
niore of bib nudes; showing to all a
good example but satisfied with his
situation because it gives him the pow-
er of doing good and who has made up
his mind to live and die in the service
of God and his fellow creatures. To
rear teachers ap roaching:to such a
model is a difficult task yet we trust
succeed in it or else we have done
nothing for elementary instruction."
If we were to take this paragraph
above and followcarefully the thoughts
of M. Guizot we would find the key to
the three questions suggested In the
beginning of this paper, viz: How to
improve our status in the eyes of the
public, in the eyes of the pupils and
school hoard and in the eyes of our
own mental vision, and the teacher
would be more highly esteemed. his
position more secure and his future
success assured. The teacher must
employ accuracy in thinking, quick-
ness in perception, and scope in Imag-
ination,exercise the observing faculty,
foster the spiritual, and stimulate the
reasoning powers. It seems he should
he the embodiment of everything that
is true, just, noble and good.
By accomplishing the best service of
which we are able, we exalt the teach-
er's office, the teacher's social position
and influence. It ie not to be expected
that desirable and capable men and
women will be attracted to a vocation
in which at best there is much that is
wearisome and exacting unless there
are strong compensating advantages.
By preparing ourselves for our duties
by a long course of scholastic and pro-
fessional training and then giving the
very best results of this to our classes
and school boards we establishes per-
manence to our profession and make
ourselves worthy of all true respect.
Here again are three great classes of
teachers, the one well educated, anoth-
er fairly well educated and the other
ignorant. Certainly the last class is
becoming the smallest, more because
of its unpopularity than for an ambi-
tion to better the mental man. Will
the ignorant class always be willing to
sit in dark windowless huts or will
they sometime desire to build a light
and airy home from which they must
get clearer mental views? The ques-
tion should not be: "How little know-
ledge need I get to cloak a mountain
of ignorance?" The knowledge actu-
ally in possession of the average teach-
er nifty not be accepted as the mini•
tnurn for he will admit he is hampered
by his ignorance. The trained teach-
er, the experienced teacher, the effici-
ent teacher is diligently sought after
and thanks to a rigid examination in
all our Provinces the force of teachers
is becoming rapidly more efficient.
There are two other classes to deal
with, the small number who have Un-
iversity training and the large number
who have not. The hundreds of Nor-
mal graduates find places in the towns
or in sight of them; the graduates of
the University, if they teach et all,
find places in the cities and colleges.
it is right they should find good poli•
tions. They have pnirl the price of
preparation. They &setvo a reward
for their efforts. lint how the efficient
teacher is needed in the county school!
A teacher loyal and patriotic and with
a spirit close kin to that of the mis-
sionary, it lover of wisdom, possessing
true humanity ant) all virtues flowing
f lave end truth. How better can
a teacher raise his status than giving
heed to these virtues.
He only and should improve his stat-
us by tentaining aloft from the triviali-
ties of gossip and small talk that is
found to an extent in every section.

tion he holds. Be will find that this

Don't let is be too severe in crying
out against salaries paid. There is lots
of room at the top and if we equip our-
selves to compete with the highest
only then can we reach the bigheet.
We cannot all be High School masters
Ibut let us in whatever clyys3 of teach -
ere we way place oursetlres, endeavor
to excel in that particular class. They
the salary will be forth cowing if we
perforin uur tasks, even the smallest
ones, su efficiently that our trustees
realize that UM' services are indispen-
sible to them. Theo there is great
ronin for improvement in our own
ranks. In confronting that "State
salary" question. How can we expect
to have that permanence and high
status desirable when we are eo fre-
quently facing that question. Let us
cry it down and bury it ten fathom
deep. Our profession is stripped of its
dignity when selfish and unprincipled
teachers will persist in bidding one
against the other, leaving the school
in the middle of a term and being toss-
ed about by every mercenary breeze
that blows. Such teachers should be
stamped as blackguards and hurled
from the -profession. Such actions not
only lower the teacher in the eyes of
the people and trustees, but lead the
Board to look with distrust and sus-
picionlon the more honorable ones.
Let a teacher improve his status by
looking to his physicial well-being.
Good health is essential to good work
and a teacher's life above all needs to
be free from irritability, nervousness
and pettishness. He wants to feel that
he is a roan among men. able to enter
into the social life and take the lead in
the developtuent of the community
and keep abreast of the times.
It is not necessary that a teacher
starting out with his Junior Leaving
standing should remain there, for the
regulations now provide for a teacher,
actually engaged in teaching, to ob-
tain Senior Teachers'standing by writ-
ing it off in four parte, and for those
who have no knowledge of Latin, a
special English paper is provided.
Good as this is, it is neither right nor
fair that any teacher should occupy
school hours or even expend all his
surplus energy out of school hours in
pursuing such a course. The day is
passed when a young man can "keep
school" for six hours in a day and oc-
cupy four out of that six in pursuing
the studies in the medical curriculum
or some other profession.
If a teacher finds it impossible
to study for the Senior Teachers'
examination while teaehing it will
pay him to drop out for a year or even
two. After that is obtained he can
secure University standing for himself
if he is willing to work. Queen's Uni-
versity offers an opportunity for a
teacher to secure his degree extra

taken advantage of by many teachers.

the examination is held at any centre
the candidate may wish. Fuller expla-
nations may he found on this course
by writing to G. Y. Chown, Registrar
of Queen's University, Kingston for, a
calendar. A teacher should improve
hituself by reading the classics of our
literature, Macaulay, Pope, Johnson,
Goldsmith, etc. By becoming familiar
with them he will find it is time well
spent. Then too we have our own
Teachers' E-dncational Journals and
Reading course which contain grains
for thought and advancement in our
particular line of work, and for the
careful reading of which diplomas are
granted by the Minister of Education.
The doctor, the lawyer, the clergyman
each reads up in his special line and
why should not the teacher? Why
should he discontinue his studies after
he has passed the prescribed examina-
tions? With better salaries let us give
good value for the stoney.
Many teachers have raised their sta-
tus too tbrongh correspondence
schools which give excellent'courses in
all the branches for a fraction of the
cost it takes to go to College. But I
hear some one say, "I dont need a Un-
iversity education or a Senior Leaving
certificate or anything higher than I
already possess to be able to teach a
class in primary reading." To such i
say, "If you can teach primary read•
ing well now, you can teach it much
better by securing a Senior Leaving
certificate." But you may say, "i
know teachers who have a Senior
Leaving certificate and who are not,
nosy i say, worth their salt 1" i agree
with you, but it is not because they
possess a Senior Leaving certificate
that they are no good as teachers. It
lies in the fact that teachers are "born
not made," even though they were to
have a dozen degrees after their names
they would never stake successful
teachers. 1f you, as a primary teach-
er, feel that you can teach the number
combinations to your satisfaction, 1
say that you can teach those same
things infinitely better on account of
the very discipline in mind training
secured through the study of Trigono-
metry and the Higher Algebra. 1f
you can feel that you can bring nut
the beauty of that little gem of Eng-
lish let me say that a fuller meaning
comes into vision through the study
of the odes of Horace and the orations
of Cicero. What a grace in thought
is lent by the reading of sweet senti-
mentalities rendered in the French or
German, and how often a knowledge
of Latin will delve to the bottom and
bring out the forcefulness of English
Literature where nothing else can:
How the study of nature. too, helps
in almost every anhjret. The Educa-
tion Department last year rnnde ar-

There is nothing else in which a
teacher can he of greater use in a com-
munity, especially in a country sec-
tion, than in music. He sheath!, if at
all musically inclined, become familiar
with musical knowledge. A teacher
raises his status by being proficient in
music and he also owes it to himself
to so traits the speaking voice that it
will secure prompt obedience and in-
stant attention without any unnecess-
ary display of authority.
The Commercial Colleges have 'wen
a great boon to our profession anal we
find many teachers doubling their sal-
aries and steadily climbing up the 'lad-
der of success through taking it special
training in the Commercial subjects
on our curriculum, thus obtaining
Specialist certificates in a compara-
tively short period and placing them-
selves on an infinitely higher lever
than before taking such a course.
We shall merely touch on the im-
portance of attending our Teachers'
institutes as a means of improving our
status. This institute binds tis to-
gether reminding us that we are work-
ing for one another—for our profes-
sion and for our own self-improve-

the interests of the Institute and never

ings except under the excuse of a med-
ical certificate.

status or not but would rather suggest
that the gentleman teacher's improve
their Status first and then there may
be a chance for the ladies.
