Afc the August examination the question
was asked, "What helpful educational
works have you read during the past

some had read bat one and in at least

The commissioner expects .that tho
teacher has skill in imparting knowledge.
He sliotdd bo apfc.ia devising methods so
thafc tho pupil will be able to gr'nsp the
thought himself. Tho unskilled teacher's
psychology admits of but. ono faculty,
memory, and ih« way ho-fills hia pupils
with fads, shows that ho intends to work
that faculty to its utmost capacity. How
part, ho must bo. Nothing can como out

Every sickroom should be provided

the question a couple of swinging

Banish creaking chairs from the sickroom. Nothing so grates upon the patient's nerves and so irritates him as
unnecessary harsh sounds. Don't whisper outside the door. That is intensely aggravating to liim, and conversations with the doctor may be just as
well carried on outside the invalid's
hearing.
Po not ask tho patient what he wants
to eat. Ask the doctor what he should
eat, prepare it daintily and in small
quantities and serve it to him, arrayed as temptingly as possible. Cover
the tray ,with a spotless linen cloth,
use the prettiest china and the brightest silver and glass, and adorn the tray
with a flower or two. Daintiness is a
great appetizer,
Follow the doctor's instruction religiously about the number of visitors
to be allowed in the sickroom. Keep
out doleful and reminiscent persons,
who can always remember a similar
case which ended fatally. ■ Repeat only
cheeriul gossip, and never allow tho
conversation to be either exciting or
depressing.
