Tho nextday ho appeared as usual and allowedhis friends to joko him about his ex¬ploit of tho evening before. A good-natured smilo was tho only answerwhich ho gavo to thoso jests.

Tho Distinctive Principles of NornuUSchool Work.-Tim Normal Stu-

"A normal school y- an institutionfor tho education of tcachors" ( Web¬ster.) It is not au attachment to ahigh sohool, to an acadomy, or to a

college, but an institution in Itself,"having a local habitation and aname," equipped with a corps ofteachers, the course of studios, and thonecessary appliances for tho accom¬

plishment of its object. Its solo workls tho education of teachers."A thin"; is normal," according to

Webster, "when strictly conformed totiloso principles of its constitutionwhich mark its species. " Tried bythis test, tho education o¡ ti,o child andthc teacher is normal when striotlycon formod to tho laws of tho physicalami rational nature of num. An insti¬tution whoso purpose ls '" educateteachers according to this stannard isproperly called a normal school. Itspurpose determines tho class of schoolsto which it belongs. Its OXCOllutlCOdepends upon thu quality of ¡ts work.The lonelier has tho organization,the leaching, and (Yarning of tho

school committed to his hands. Hodirects and controls tho activities ofthe children while they aro forminghabits, and laying tho foundation ofcharacter. Ile should bo able to traintho child in tho right uso of all hispowers.The dislinetive work of tho normal

school is to oducato tho teacher ac¬cording to tho normal standard. Tothis end tho normal student must haveas debilito and full knowledge of thohuman body and mind as possible, dycareful study ho may loam tho struct¬ure of functions,and conditions of healthof tho human body. Ho may learntho powers of tho mind. Ibo order oftheir development, tho objects uponwhich they aro employed, how theyare called into light exertion, and Iboproducts of this activity as they erys-tali/.o into those habits of thinking,fooling, and willing which constitutecharacter. Hy this study he discoverstho laws of human life and learns whateducation is, as au end, ami as amoans, and derives tho principleswhich guille the practice in tho normaleducation of toad,ors and children.This goneral knowledge of mind pré¬paies the teacher for that (dose obser¬vation by which ho univ lo u n the pe¬culiarities of each ono of his pupils, sothat he can teach and train ea li onoin the way ho should go.Tho normal student must make a

careful study of the art of teaching andtraining, that he may know distinctlywhat teaching is, what training is, andthe means by which lie will sustain thoattention of his class, as dependent up¬on the knowledge of tho subject; thoselection of tho proper objects ofthought; inc direction of tho pupil'sthinking; tho uso of the best motives;leading tho pupils to acquire ideas, andto their correct expression, orally andin writing; recapitulation and reviews;criticism by the class and teacher; dailypreparation by the teacher; ami thogeneral culture of the teacher.The normal student must mako a

thorough study of the course of studiosin all us grades, as a moans to teach¬ing and training; thal he may knowwhat studies should bl; included in thocourse, and why these subject*! shouldbe Studied; hi what order the studiesshould conic, and the relation whichthey hold loone another; in each stud}',what shall hu taught, and wh\; thoorder in which lb" parti »hall bo con¬sidered; and tito lliulhod of teachingand dr,bing tho class upon all parts oftho subject.Thu nounal student must thoroughly

Itis tho distinctive work of tho normalschool to socuro to its studonts thisknowledge aud skill according to thomeasure of thoir ability.Tho first distinctive principio of nor¬mal school work is that tho normalstudont is to be a teaohor.
