BriIIiancy and Intensity Of Light
Is unsurpassed by all other artificial lights 1t is

and last though not least, it is very little more
EXPENSIVE than sunshine A small Lamp giving
the Light of six Candles, will not cost cxcec ing

"That no helebore could cure %
George disliked his study. What could win him
backs Many instances might be given where the
indiscretion of the teacher is the cause of the
pupils slow progress, and even his quitting school
through encouragement and in after years regret.
ing that his education had been so imperfect How
often does the pupil find that these "drills'' in
school are CHORES" to him. Alexander the Grea,
saw no excellence in learning to unite Gorge's
knot, but in a fit of impotence cut it to pieces
with his sword. Authors seem to take more:pains
In tying these Gordan knots in their sciences than
they do in imparting clear truth and useful know
ledge to the learner. They will go into profound
research in hunting up technical terms and Greek
and Latin phrases to " show their science in thus
placing it beyond the comprehension often OF
teacher and learner too. The great secret of sue
cess in teaching is to keep the pnp interested in
his studies, and that when study ceases to be a
cheerful labor it grows irksome, that all lessons
imposed beyond that point are carefully to be
avoided by the teacher. Then the pupil has no
task, nothing but the pleasant labor of study.
And he must labor if he would enjoy. IT'S that
which elevates, enobles and dignifes man.
