BY L. WJETHERELL, 
MANAGEMENT OF SCHOOLS. 
“By what means, and in what manner,can the 
moral faculties of a school be best developed, and 
its evil habits suppressed ? To this 1 would an* 
8wcr, that the first step to be taken by a teacher in 
educating the hearts of his pupils is to gain their 
confidence and affection. To do this he has sim¬ 
ply to act with kindness towards them, and make 
them conscious that, he seeks their welfare.”—J- 
G. K., in Rural N. - Y, Vol. 3, page 4. 
The great difficulty in the way of the suc¬ 
cess of the socialists—the difficulty which 
has heretoiore hindered, and which ever will 
hinder, their success—is the depravity of 
mankind. If all were disposed to do right 
—i. e., if there were no had, no selfish pas¬ 
sions in the human heart,—it would be an 
easy matter for communities to live togeth¬ 
er, “ and have all things common.” So long 
however, as man is what he is, a selfish, as 
well as social being, determined to “ have 
his rights,” (being himself the judge.) and 
doing justice to others from necessity or 
compulsion rather than from choice, social¬ 
ism must be regarded as a useless, a vision¬ 
ary speculation. 
If it were necessary only that students 
should knotty what is right, or what would be 
conducive to their interests and happiness, 
in order to do right,—i. e., if there were no 
bad passions in the heart,—the management 
of a school would be abundantly easy. In 
youth, however, the passions are strong and 
active; and, if strengthened by parental 
neglect, or bad training, the propensity to 
do wrong predominates over the love of
