Success I not an element fam iliar to th experience of every teacher. In fact, only a small ucrcantsge of test hers are entirely sm-cessfiil. It is pertinent to ask the re .son why? Is is because of a lack of education, or knowledge of hooks? We answer, no; not necewerlly. Knowl edge is one thing, laet another. A mm may have the intellect of Webster anil be s graduate of our best seh.nils and then be a failure as a teacher. "Tea. hers. IIk ihh-I', are born, not made," some ma- say, Whdt this may be, and fe, probably In a measure true, It is our opinion thst a little careful, earnest thought and innervation will assist most teachers to be sncces-ful. All true teacher h ve their profession. They love childhood. They itndy nature They form the acquaintance of th parents and patrons of the school. In short the ideal teacher nnst be a social being. A churlish, unsociable person Is not Ht for a teacher, uo matter if he possess the wisdom of a Solomon. Machinery rune smoothly only when there is no frictl.in, when ail Hie Hearings are oueu ana everyining in us place. So In tho school room. The oil of merited praise goes a long way toward re moving the little Jars and illfcellngs o apt to coma up in every dsy school life. The ideal teacher is always pleasant. Not lax not easy-going, but kind while firm, gentle, while insisting aa and maintaining good discipline, and reasonable in all his rules and regulations. The ideal teacher will not tolerate pandemonium, neither will he insist Un a death-like stillness. Ma chinery always makes a noise, even when everything ia In order and every hearing oiled. No reasonaMe teacher will object to the busy hum of earnest work. "Order la heaven's first law," is as true in tbe achool room as anywhere else, but to require "no whispering ' is an ords- that would be as quickly disobeyed by an assembly of 30 or 40 teachers as by so many restless, fun- loving boys ana giris. it is tne niesi natural thing in the world for human be ing to communicate with one another and wuiia restraint snouiu oe piaceu upon manv of our desires end Inclinations, we think. In fact we know, that tcechere who forbid whispering and try to enforce the order have a hard task. Of course pu pils should not indulge in whispering on subjects foreign to their tasks, but tbe noise of the school room should be in the line of diligent, earnest work. Tbe ideal teacher loves tbe pupils, takes an Interest in them, really desires to see them advance, and sees with pleasure tbe "young Ides learning bow to shoot." The laeai taacner never tiree m ueifnoa tue pu pil who -'wants to know." He is not in liis position entirely for th money, although we concede that is a very important con sideration, but bis love of educational work, bis desire to see the youth of today become tha useful and intellfsent men and women of tomorrow, calls for earnest work and un tiring effort on bis part. The ideal teacher will be honored and be loved of hie pupils. There will not be a spirit of animosity between them. Mutual good will prevails and all feeling that the teacher's interest is io them and their pro gress, they have no desire to b vicious. The pupils soon recognise the ideal teacher. They will not aeon forget bim. Tbey will talk of him and quota him for years to come. They will be molded by his ideas and admonished by his counsels. Next to the parents, a good teacher will influence his pupils. Then let us all be Ideal teac tiers, vn -success oe our motto and let ua work for success, talk success, and have success. "Nothing suc ceeds like success." Let us always be sealons of th good nam of every pupil in our charge, and never speak harmfully to any one, under any circumstances, of one of th boys and girls of our charge. They will respect us for it. They will honor tne teacner tnat honor them. They will stand up for the teacher who stands up for them, and a teacher beloved and honored of hie pupils is a success and will never lack for a good poeition and a remunerative salary. Your for success by one who does not claim to b but desires to become an Ideal T. K. AcHxa. School Ilcport.
