Maxims for Teachers

• Accustom yourself to such entire control over your feelings, that impudence from a pupil will not occasion a ruby cheek.
  
• Adapt the length of your lessons to the capacity of your scholars.
  
• Administer reproof kindly.
  
• Aim to make every lesson interesting.
  
• Allow others to speak to you of the faults of your scholars, only as they would speak to a judicious, aff. mother of the faults of her children.
  
• Allow small children to study, as a reward for doing well.
  
• Always form a definite plan before you commence school.
  
• Always remember that good reading spelling & penmanship are more important in a lady's education, than any definite branches of science.
  
• At the time of assigning the lesson, let the teacher recommend to the class definitive methods of learning & state what parts nearly or all of the class will, with attention be able to understand.
