The Teacher

CHAPTER II
44/73

Whatever the teacher does will seem to be more deliberate, and, in fact, _will be_ more deliberate.
3.

General remarks, bringing up classes of faults which prevail; also general directions, which may at any time be needed; and, in fact, any business relating to the general arrangements of the school.
4.

Familiar lectures from the teacher on various subjects.

These lectures, though necessarily brief and quite familiar in their form, may still be very exact and thorough in respect to the knowledge conveyed.
When they are upon scientific subjects they may sometimes be illustrated by experiments, more or less imposing, according to the ingenuity of the teacher, the capacity of the older scholars to assist him in the preparations, or the means and facilities at his command.[2] [Illustration] [Footnote 2: In some of the larger institutions of the country the teacher will have convenient apparatus at his disposal, and a room specially adapted to the purpose of experiments.

The engraving represents a room at the Spingler Institute at New York.
