How the Wesley Family were Edueatsd.
Ihs educational system at the rectory has
been the admiration Of al who have written
respecting the Wesley family. Il had some
extraordinary points. Il was conducted soIely
BY Mrs Wesley, who thus combined the labors
Of the school with the other and numerous
cares Of her household. She hes left a long
letter addressed to John Wesley, in which il is
fully detailed. "The chiltren,1 she saws,
" were alWsys put into a regular method Of
living, in such things as they we're capable Of,
from heir birth ss IN dressing aud undress-
ing, changing their lhen, etc. The first quar-
ter commonly passes il sleep after that they
were, If possible, laid IN their cradle awake,
and rocked to sleep and 50 they we're kept
rocking till it was tine for them 70 awake.
This was done to bring then to a regular course
Of sleeping, which az first was three hours In
the moTaing, and three IN the afternoon /; after
ward tNO hours, tUl they needed none at all. .
When one year old, and in some cases earlier.
they were taught 70 " CRY softly, {" BY which |
means they escaped abundance Of correction,
and that " most odious noise " Of the crying Of
cbildree was rarely heard in the house but
the family usually lived in as much quietness
ss if there bad not been q child among them.
Drinking and eating between meals was never
allowed, unless in cases Of sickness, which
" seldom hS9pened.D They retired at eight in /
the evening, and were left IN their several
rooms awake, for there vas no such thing al
lowed in the house as sitting by a child tai it
fell asleep"
To subdue the viii Of a child was one Of her
earliest tasks; because" she continues. |
50 this is The only strong and rational founda-
ti0u Of a religions education, without Khich
both precept and example will be inef euaL.
Bot when this is thoroughly done, then Child
is capable Of being governed by the reason and
piety Of i-s parents, all its own understanding |
comes TO maturity and the principles Of relf-
gion have taken root in the minds Her chill
dren were taught TO be quiet at family prayer,
before they could kHesl or speak Tbs family
school was opened and closed with singing.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon all had a season
Of retirement, when the oldest TOOK The young

also c0nFersed each evening With one Of her
children on religious subjects. and on some
evenings with two, 90 a. to comprehend the
whole circle every evening Cowardice and
fear Of punishment, she remarks, often lead
children to contract a habit Of wing, from
which il is difficult for them 70 break away in
later life. To prevent this, q law was made
that whoever was charged with a fault OF
which be was guilty, should not be chastised
if be should ingeHiousiy confess it and promise
10 amend. No child was ever punished twice
for the same fault and If be reformed, the
ofense was never sfterwsrd upbTsided. Prom
Uses were TO be strictly observed.
No girl was taught to read till she read cor
rectly she was then kept to her work with
the same application, ard for the same time
that she bad spent in reading. {" This rule,"
wisely remarks the mother, is much to be
observed for The pgtting children to Learn sew

sou Why so few women can read IN A manner

read tll they were five years old, except one
daughter, and SIZE was more years 10 learning
than any OF the rest had been months. The
day before a child began 70 study, the house
was set in order, every ones work was sp-
pointed, and a charge given that none should
come into the room from 9 till y, or from 2
IN , which were the school hours. One day
was allowed he pupil to learn its letters, and
each Of them did IN that time know them all,
except two, who were a day and a half
atthetssk, " for which" she says, {" thought
them very dali" Samuel, who was The first
child thus taught, learned the alphabet in a few
hours- III day after be was FIVE wears old
he began to study and as soon as be knew the
letters, be proceeded TO spell out the first chap
ter Of Genesis. The same method was observed
BY them all. As seoh as they acquired the
knowledge Of the alphabet, they were put to
spelling and reading one line, then 2 verse
