98 ページ - But, above all things, remember that dulness and stupidity (and you will certainly find them in every school) are the very last things to get out of patience with. If the Creator has so formed the mind of a boy that he must go through life slowly and with difficulty, impeded by obstructions which others do not feel, and depressed by discouragements which others never know, his lot is surely hard enough, without having you to add to it, the trials and suffering which sarcasm and reproach from you...
98 ページ - ... reproach from you, can heap upon him. Look over your school-room, therefore, and wherever you find one, whom you perceive the Creator to have endued with less intellectual power than others, fix your eye upon him with an expression of kindness and sympathy. Such a boy will have suffering enough from the selfish tyranny of his companions; he ought to find in you, a protector and friend. One of the greatest pleasures which a teacher's life affords, is, the interest of seeking out such an one, bowed...
186 ページ - You will take pleasure in observing the sudden transition from the silence of study hours to the joyful sounds, and the animating activity of recess, when the Study Card goes down; and then when it rises again at the close of the recess, you will be gratified to observe how suddenly the sounds which have filled the air and made the room so lively a scene are hushed into silence by the single and almost inaudible touch of that little bell. You will take pleasure in this, for young and old always take...
56 ページ - ... unpleasant an occurrence. Still, though he said nothing in the way of reproach or reprehension, and did not name the boys, but merely gave a cool and impartial narrative of the facts, — the effect, very evidently, was to bring such quarrels into discredit. A calm review of misconduct, after the excitement has gone by, will do more to bring it into disgrace, than the most violent invectives and reproaches, directed against individuals guilty of it. "Now, boys...
262 ページ - No! the boys would pick and eat them before they had time to grow." " Well, what harm would there be in that; would it not be as well to have the chestnuts early in the summer, as to have them in the fall?
40 ページ - ... of which wire are bent at right angles, and run into the board. The plate will consequently turn on this axis as on a hinge. At the top of the plate, d, a small projection of the tin turns inward, and to this one end of the cord, mm, is attached. This cord passes back from d to a small pulley at the upper part of the board, and at the lower end of it a tassel, loaded so as to be an exact counterpoise to the card, is attached. By raising the tassel, the plate will of course fall over forward till...
263 ページ - is one reason for having prickles around the chestnuts when they are small. But then it is not necessary to have all chestnuts guarded from boys in this way; a great many of the trees are in the woods, which the boys do no' see ; what good do the burs do in these trees ?
13 ページ - He set up, in the pasture, a narrow board, for a target, or as boys would call it, • mark, — and then, collecting all the boys of the neighborhood, he proposed to them an amusement, which boys are always ready for, — firing at a mark. I need not say that the stores of ammunition in the street were soon exhausted ; the boys working for their leader, when they supposed they were only finding amusement for themselves. Here now, is experimenting upon the...
186 ページ - ... conduct. You are, of course, while in the school, under the same moral obligations which rest upon you elsewhere. You must be kind to one another, respectful to superiors, and quiet and orderly in your deportment. You must do nothing to encroach upon another's rights, or to interrupt and disturb your companions in their pursuits. You must not produce disorder, or be wasteful of the public property, or do any thing else which you might know is in itself wrong.
264 ページ - The master said it was by their taste. They are hard and sour before they are full grown, and so the taste is not pleasant, and nobody wants to eat them, except sometimes a few foolish boys, and these are punished by being made sick. When the apples are full grown they change their taste, acquire an agreeable flavor, and become mellow ; then they can be eaten. Can you tell me of any other fruits which are preserved in this way ? 30.
