scientific subject may prove of great ben
eft. Natural history teens with numbers
of suitable subjects. Volcanoes, earth
quakes, coral-lime islands, and of many
others of similar character will not fail
to interest school of advanced pupils for
a quarter or half hour.
Historical Geography in the shape of
informal lectures may prove of much ad-
vantage to pupils of almost all grades
Stories of the Esquimaux, their subterra-
mean palaces and filthy habits the Chi
nese, their la5arynthine gardens, floating
towns, and peculiar fashions; the Ancient
Egyptians, their catacombs, mummies, and
pyramids s,-these, with Others of similar
nature, will not only awaken transient
interest and prevent disorder, but will Gre
ate desire in the pupil to know more of
these nations through the media of Geog-
raphy and History The teacher should
of course, when opportunity occurs, intro
duce much of this into Geography lessons,
but in many cases it will be impossible to
weave these historical accounts into the
fabric of the lesson, and when this is the
case, they should be presented in the shape
of object lessons.
Object lessons on the everyday affairs
of life,--in Domestic Economy, on gain
ing wealth and the laws regulating sue
cess in business in Physiology, in regard
to the modus opera',di of the physical Or
gans, and the laws regulating health in
Agriculture, by entering into the scientific
structure of plants, the application of ma
nures, the rotation of crops, the art OF
draining, the adaptability of certain soils
to particular crops, the erection Of hot
houses, &C., together with other practical
subjects, will not only prove interesting,
but of great value in future life.
