The maintains the teacher. If in fact, that in school is the Chinese as Dr Stewart said, the paradise of pedagogue, to maintain once on a high level. But if you fail in your character and authority in the eyes of your boys, your Chinese class will be a real pandemonium where nothing but continuous impositions, fines, and corporal punishments can keep a semblance of order. On the other hand, let the teacher guard the purity of his character and authority, and it will be easy for him to create in his class a popular sentiment in favour of order and discipline.

(2) Next, another peculiar document that Chinese boys bring with them is a strong development of the regulative faculties, practical reason, common sense, and whence comes a shrewd intuitive insight into the inward character and value of their teacher. Chinese boys discern with the utmost readiness the teacher's good points, his virtues and his failings. They read you like a book and they treat you accordingly. I need not point out the lesson to be derived from this fact, but observe at what a disadvantage you are, when your scholars learn, in a twinkling, the ins and outs of your character and value correctly, whilst the peculiar constitution and workings of their own minds remain an unsolved puzzle to you.
