building where they began. When I about eighteen years of age, I began i experimenting as teacher. I had now ! reached another critical period of my .life. Realizing that "a prophet is not
cient history. without honor save in his own country,"
They begin, sixty-four years ago, yi took a school many miles from home,
when I was about six years old, maj agreeing to teach it one term (then
! called quarter) consisting of twelve consecutive weeks, of six days each, and do the work of a janitor for the sum of Fifty Doiiars. This seems like a very insignificant Salary but I have several times since been siezed with a sort of sneaky idea that I was greatly overpaid. At that time, the possession of considerable and well trained muscle was a very valuable, if not indisensible asset in the equipment of a teacher. If I had not had more than the biggest boy in "that school jiossessedr ho would have succeeded as well, the first day school opened, in throwing me out of that school house window, as he had my predecessor a few months before, and my career as a teacher would have closed then and there in a disgraceful disaster. He certainly made a very robust effort but after a few minutes of very lively and violent exercise, was "fully persuaded" to recognize my authority and I was encouraged to con¬ tinue in the business. I had succeed¬ ed where my predecessor, a graduate of Harvard College, had ingloriously failed.
The establishment of my reputation as a successful teacher was thus begun. Soon after my separation from that boy on that occasion, we became quite attached to each other and our rela¬ tions were never again so strained. Many times in my experience of over fifteen years of teaching which follow¬ ed I resorted with good results to many of the methods of securing discipline, which I had seen successfully prac¬ ticed by most of my fifteen teachers. In many cases, it was mentally painful to me, and in all, physically painful to the pupil. On several occasions, con¬ sidering it my duty, I have chastisea girls nearly as large and old as I was, when I would much father have kissed them, and they, doubtless, would much rather I should. Such my friends, has been a lew of my experiences as a school boy and a school Ieacher. Con¬ trast at your liesure the conditions of our school system fifty years ago, with those t^at now prevail, and you can not fail to perceive with pride and pleas¬ ure, the wonderful progress and ad- vaiicement that has been made in the many and varied departments of our educational system. We are living to¬ day, perhaps, in the golden age of the w^orld's advancement; and let us see to it, that we as a nation fall not behind in the grand march to greatness. Pu. pils, I charge you, be respectful and obedient to your teachers. As you learn to obey, so shall you acquire abil¬ ity to command. As you respect your teachers, so will they and others re¬ spect you. Love them as you would have them love you. Be diligent in your studies and kind to each other. And in all you do, be ever honest, trut!hful and true. Teachers, great op¬ portunities, great responsibiliti Js are i resting upon you. To you is intrusted the moulding of character that will contribute to the world's progress and advancement, to better conditions and higher planes of human effort and achievement. You are as the w^atch- man on the walls. Be true to your charge. Be ever in the alert and de¬ voted to your work. Be patient and persevering, kind and forgiving, gen¬ erous and just. And above all things else, endeavor to impress upon the minds of your pupils the lesson that.as they leaye the school room to engage in the struggles of life, their succdaa,
ise. By modern criticism this method of imparting instruction would be re¬ garded as somewhat primitive and crude. But years of reflection have convinced me that the lesson thus taught was the best and most lasting I ever learned. An impression in favor of truth and honesty was made upon my mind which time has never effaced. After the little spread eagle episode, our relations were cordial and pleas¬ ant.

Use Everybody's Column. i • miw It in the Messenaeri" bign, was purchased by subscription [ from the members of the department. I The presentation speech was made by building where they began. When I about eighteen years of age, I began i experimenting as teacher. I had now ! reached another critical period of my .life. Realizing that "a prophet is not cient history. without honor save in his own country" They begin, sixty-four years ago, yi took a school many miles from home, when I was about six years old, maj agreeing to teach it one term (then ! called quarter) consisting of twelve consecutive weeks, of six days each, and do the work of a janitor for the sum of Fifty Doiiars. This seems like a very insignificant Salary but I have several times since been siezed with a sort of sneaky idea that I was greatly overpaid. At that time, the possession of considerable and well trained muscle was a very valuable, if not indisensible asset in the equipment of a teacher. If I had not had more than the biggest boy in "that school jiossessedr ho would have succeeded as well, the first day school opened, in throwing me out of that school house window, as he had my predecessor a few months before, and my career as a teacher would have closed then and there in a disgraceful disaster. He certainly made a very robust effort but after a few minutes of very lively and violent exercise, was "fully persuaded" to recognize my authority and I was encouraged to con¬ tinue in the business. I had succeed¬ ed where my predecessor, a graduate of Harvard College, had ingloriously failed. The establishment of my reputation as a successful teacher was thus begun. Soon after my separation from that boy on that occasion, we became quite attached to each other and our rela¬ tions were never again so strained. Many times in my experience of over fifteen years of teaching which follow¬ ed I resorted with good results to many of the methods of securing discipline, which I had seen successfully prac¬ ticed by most of my fifteen teachers. In many cases, it was mentally painful to me, and in all, physically painful to the pupil. On several occasions, con¬ sidering it my duty, I have chastisea girls nearly as large and old as I was, when I would much father have kissed them, and they, doubtless, would much rather I should. Such my friends, has been a lew of my experiences as a school boy and a school Ieacher. Con¬ trast at your liesure the conditions of our school system fifty years ago, with those t^at now prevail, and you can not fail to perceive with pride and pleas¬ ure, the wonderful progress and ad- vaiicement that has been made in the many and varied departments of our educational system. We are living to¬ day, perhaps, in the golden age of the w^orld's advancement; and let us see to it, that we as a nation fall not behind in the grand march to greatness. Pu. pils, I charge you, be respectful and obedient to your teachers. As you learn to obey, so shall you acquire abil¬ ity to command. As you respect your teachers, so will they and others re¬ spect you. Love them as you would have them love you. Be diligent in your studies and kind to each other. And in all you do, be ever honest, trut!hful and true. Teachers, great op¬ portunities, great responsibiliti Js are i resting upon you. To you is intrusted the moulding of character that will contribute to the world's progress and advancement, to better conditions and higher planes of human effort and achievement. You are as the w^atch- man on the walls. Be true to your charge. Be ever in the alert and de¬ voted to your work. Be patient and persevering, kind and forgiving, gen¬ erous and just. And above all things else, endeavor to impress upon the minds of your pupils the lesson that.as they leaye the school room to engage in the struggles of life, their succdaa, ise. By modern criticism this method of imparting instruction would be re¬ garded as somewhat primitive and crude. But years of reflection have convinced me that the lesson thus taught was the best and most lasting I ever learned. An impression in favor of truth and honesty was made upon my mind which time has never effaced. After the little spread eagle episode, our relations were cordial and pleas¬ ant. Four times a day. for many days, he patiently pointed out to me with his pen-knife blade the letters of the al- ^ i phabet as they stood in Webster's spel- ., „ .. t:.- ; Jing book, till I knew them all, and the Freeport Fire t^en I was promoted to spelling v/ords of two letters, ccpimmencing with ba. PRICE, 5 CENTS prosperity and happiness, will, to a great extent, depend upon the posses¬ sion and exercise of the priceless principles of honesty and truth. And when your work is finished and the desired results obtained, that peace which comes of difficulties manfully met and mastered, and the satisfac¬ tion arising from duties well done, and the consolations of an approving con¬ science, as a benign benediction shall come to and rest upon teachers and pu¬ pil alike and be their great reward.
