A discussion of this paper followed, in which Prof Hutchison, Miss A Barnes, Miss A Rosebrugh, Mrs Hahn and Prof Snyder participated.

The latter presented the following in his remarks as unfailing methods by which teachers can lose control of their school: 1. Fail to provide your pupils with plenty of work. 2. Talk too much; govern too mucli. 3.

Issue commands whose execution you cannot or do not expect. 4. Allow pupils to find out that they can annoy you. 5. Promise more in your pleasant moods than you can perform.

6. Threaten more in your disturbed moods than you expect to perform. 7. Be so variable in your moods that what was criminal yesterday is right to-day, and vice versa. 8.

U.terry neglect all the little fo'i malities and cmrtesies of life in the treatment of tbe children at school. 9. Let it be a matter of indifference to you whether the children are com fortable, or uncomfortable, happy or unhappy in their scho'ol relations. 10. Consider that it is not your business to help children bear their cares and sorrows, or to aid them in forming noble characters.

Last spring I came to the conclusion it must be because it was so quiet up here, and thought if I went away and became interested in my music I would be all right.

I was mistaken, for I am worse this season than ever before. Even if hoarseness had not interrupted my practicing I couldn't have made much progress while in this condition, It is only a matter of time before I lose iny mind, when I would be a burden to you, of another for years.
