Bpitobs Mist:-Well, I will exclaim In
the language of a celebrated man who I
think il now doad. "Kureka!" Oh. that
troublesome "pol and ribbon" problem,
for the love of heaven do notgiv any more
like It, or yonr hurabl servant will be sent
to Saleni to dwell with th many insane
that have been there th last aixtydays.
But to th problem ; I have solved it to my
own sntixfaotion, and I sincerely hope to
the satisfaction of others. Analysls-The
pole Is 120 foet high and 8 feet, 4 Inches at
tha bas. W will sprad the surfae of
this pole (or suppose it to be spread) like a
plain or board and w hsve a piece of lum
ber 8 feet, 4 Inches wide at on end and
gradually diminishing to a point at the
other. Now, let us take another bosrd of
the same dimensions and plaoe it by the
ide of this, with the points In opposite
dtractlons, and we have a piece of lumber
or whatever you may call It. 6 feet, 4 Indies
at each end and 120 teet long. Now, if the
ribbon Is placed 6 Inches apart w hav a
luocession of right angled triangle from
top to bottom, alt these triangles being
equal, W will only find tha bynotheneuse
of on, o feet, men ui " ... ,
64 sq. equals 40!)0 minus 6 sq. equals 36;
4098 plus 88 equals 4132, the equal root of
4132 equals 81.28 plus 6t,28 (plus) a 240, the
Dumber of triangle, equals 15.427.20 (plus).
This Is th length of illnV.a for two poles.
For one it will be X of 13,427.20 (plas)
Inches or 7713.0 (plus) inches or 042.8 (plus)
feet, which equals 211.2 (plus) yards, ans

THE IDEAIi TEACH Bit.
KniToas Mist: There ar teacher and
teachers. 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
