I consider this plan, as only one among a multitude of others, each of which will be successful, not by the power of its intrinsic qualities, but just in proportion to 1990'ss technology the ability and faithfulness with which it is carried into effect. " "I think it would be less unjust to deprive all of their recess who are tardy, for then the loss of a recess by a boy who had not been to blame, would not be very common, and the evil would be divided among the whole, but in the plan of my hearing the excuses, it would all come upon one. They are only, in the young, faint grounds of hope, that the genuine fruits 1990'ss technology of piety will appear.If the plan is founded on some peculiar notions of your own, which would enable you to succeed in it, when others, also interested in such a scheme, would 1990'ss technology probably fail, consider whether there may not be danger that your plan may be imitated by others, who cannot carry it into successful operation, so that it may 1990'ss technology be the 1990'ss technology indirect means of doing injury. It will show that the teacher is upon his guard; and there are very few, so hardened in deception, that they would not wish that they had been really sincere, rather than rest under such 1990'ss technology an imputation.

"By their fruits ye shall know them," said the Saviour, a direction sufficiently plain, one would think, and pointing to a test, sufficiently easy to be applied. How do they all write? How do they all read? How do they calculate? It would be well if he would make a careful examination of the school, in this respect. Doing right is pleasant to every body, and no persons are so easily convinced of this, or rather so easily led to see it, as children.

We should know the proposal was an absurd one; but then it would do no hurt;--we should have only to reject it. I am therefore now to consider under a fourth general head, what course is to be taken with _individual_ offenders, whom the general influences of the school-room will not control. The school-room is in reality, a little empire of mind. I have done nothing on this subject yet, for I wished to see whether you would not come early, on principle.

This spirit he always notices, and though I may stop any particular form of its exhibition, it is for Him alone to forgive it and to purify the heart from its power. But let him call upon them all to spell it, simultaneously, and then to pronounce it distinctly, three or four times in concert, and the word will be very strongly impressed upon the mind. In her answers to questions with which she should be familiar, she always manifests more or less of hesitation, and what she ventures to express, is very commonly in the form of a question.
Now, where a severe punishment is the consequence of a failure, there might seem to be some reasonableness in helping your companions out of difficulty, though even then, such tricks are departures from honorable dealing. For instance in the example already specified; in order to add seven and eight, you say, "Twice seven are fourteen and one are fifteen;" ("Yes sir," "Yes sir,") or "Twice eight are sixteen, and taking one off, leaves fifteen. Through this wrapper, all questions are asked, all complaints entered, all proposals made.
I _will not_ trouble you any more. I should very probably do this by addressing a note to you, as I suppose this should be less unpleasant to you than a conversation. There will be given you when you enter the school a blank schedule, in which the divisions of each forenoon for one week are marked, and in which your own employments for every half hour are to be written.

They brought him presently a rough scrap of paper, with the figures marked upon it. It would _tend_ to 1990'ss technology remove it. Various modes. This may be done in several ways. Some, I am afraid, may not really be determined to keep it, and others will forget. If the practice, which has been already repeatedly recommended, of appropriating a 1990'ss technology quarter of an hour, each day, to a general exercise, should be adopted, it will afford great facilities for doing this. The men are required to form a precise line.
Regular arrangement of them. I will suppose that the teacher of a common school, undertakes to show his boys, who, we will suppose, are acquainted with nothing but elementary arithmetic, how longitude is ascertained, by means of the eclipses of Jupiter's satellites; not a very simple question, (as it would, at first view, strike one,) but still one which, like all 1990'ss technology others, may be, merely by the power of the subdivision alluded to, easily explained. A merchant keeps his commodities together, and looks upon a cargo composed of 1990'ss technology ten thousand 1990'ss technology articles, and worth 100,000 dollars as one: he speaks of it as one: 1990'ss technology and there is, in many cases, no more perplexity in planning its destination, than if it were a single box of raisins. Now whatever may be said in this chapter against unnecessary innovation and change, does not apply to efforts to secure variety in the details of daily study, while the great leading objects are steadily pursued. The exercises which follow are exhibited to 1990'ss technology the eye by the 1990'ss technology following diagram.
But if you once allow school with its perplexities and cares to get possession of the rest of the day, it will keep possession.

Now will you look into your desks, and tell me whether they are, on these three principles, well arranged.
And then when we reflect upon the influence which would be exerted upon the future religious character of this nation, by having the millions of children training up in the schools, accustomed, through all the years of early life, to being brought daily into the presence of the Supreme, with thanksgiving, confession, and prayer, it can hardly seem possible that the 1990'ss technology teacher who wishes to be faithful in his duties, should hesitate in regard to this.
