To S. S. Superintendents.
By Editor
ONCE we had occasion to caution our schools against electing as superintendents those who did not take an earnest interest in the work. Now we wish to say a few words to superintendents. 1. Study the lessons thoroughly. The teachers and scholars will all expect to receive help of you on their lessons, and if you are not prepared to give it, they will be disappointed, and their work will not be so well done thereafter, because their confidence in the leader of the school is gone. 2. Have your school thoroughly organized, so that when the school is assembled you know just what you can do, and what you are going to do. 3. Do not have any changing of teachers during the quarter if it can possibly be avoided. A class cannot make good progress without a steady teacher; it takes some time for a teacher and class to get acquainted and have confidence well established. A stranger cannot understand them as well as a regular teacher, and cannot benefit them as much. 4. Have something for every one to do, and keep them all busy during class exercises. If visitors come in, old or young, invite them to take a place in some class. 5. Have your school as quiet as is consistent with the work, and have good order positively.
