90 signally, az il arithmetic (; and the
great reason .is-a want Of thorOughness
in the very commencement. Pupils ara
allowed to commence ciphering before
they know. what a unit is, or how to
write numbers correctly. They areper-
mAted to copy the examples from the
book, and all the discipline they get is
merely that obtained by the process of
adding. And you ask a pupil why he
carries to the next column, not q in ten
could give the correct answer. Yet
teachers will take such scholars
through the book in a term or two, and
make him and his parents believe thathe
has really mastered arithmetic.
Shame on such teachers f; they are
either knaves or fools themselves, for
every intelligent teacher knows that no
rersOn can obtain a thorough knowledge
of arithmetic in less than two, and more
frequently. three years careful study.
We exceedingly regret this morbid
passion that seems to prevail among SO
many young people Of getting through
the arithmetic, and we are sorry that so
many calling themselves teachers are
ready to cater to This appetite. Young
man, do not be so anxious to go through
your book it will only make you appear
the greater Ounce to have it known
that you have been through your arith-
metic, and yet unable TO solve a simple
problem in mental arithmetic. Let your
motto be to know what you go over. A
child that has studied mental arithmetic
thoroughly, is better prepared to trans.
act business ~intelligently and rapidly
than many who have gone through writ
ten arithmetic.
NorIhend says: II have no hesitation
in saying that a lad, who has been thor
oughly trained in all the mental exerci'
ses in Colburn's first lessons, withOu.
having an hours training in written ar
ithmetic, is better fitted for common
business, so far as arithmetic is con.
cerned, than he would be if he had de.
voted months merely to written arithme.
tic without giving any attention tc

If you wish your pupils to advance
rapidly and thoroughly, drill them a lit

Good order and correct habits are
necessary for the advancement of stu.
dents and good students ought not to
complain of any restrictions that are In
tended TO aid their advancement. They
ought to sanction them by living up to
the requirements, as they are all aware
that no institution of learning can be
carried on successfully without the best
OF ordor. And while it is their object
to gain knowledge, they should also cor
rect their habits, as there is nothing
that makes d appear worse IN society
than bad habits. Men of inferior minds
have been esteemed merely for their
manner and good behavior, while sensible
men frequently disgust by their conduct.
The ann of doing a thing is often
more important than the thing itself,
and students who wish to gain knowl-
edge will find it profitable to read and
reflect carefully upon every sentence
until they thoroughly understand it. One
may as well not know anything at all as
to know it imperfectly. To know a little
of anything gives neither satisfaction nor
credit, but often Injuries ones reputation,
and a good reputation is not earned in a
day. Those men who have secured the
respect and esteem of the world as states
men, have not done it by one act, but by
constant application; and those who are
now students, if they wish to gain the
respect of mankind, and be useful in life,
must do it by pe~rsevering industry.

Arithmetic.

Perhaps no study is considered more
important than the study of arithmetic.
Every parent feels peculiarly anxious
about his children's acquiring cOnsidera-
BILE proficiency in this branch of educa.
ton /; and many will say to the teacher
Il want my boy to pay particular atten-
ton to his arithmetic, that he may be
able to transact business intelligently
should he not be able to attend school
very much"
Now, all this is we'll enough. We
want our childrento be able to calculate ;
but to study arithmetic, with no other
object in view than to acquire the ability
to reckon dollars and cents, is a low
estimate. Mathematics is the great
substratum of all the sciences. Without
a knowledge of it, it would be scarcely
possible to pursue any branch of study.
Yet this is not, after all, the great bene.
fit derived from its study.
Mental discipline should be the chief
aim of every teacher in this branch /;
cultivate the reasoning powers. All our
great reasoners were mathematicians.
A Locke, Bacon and Newton, we're EN-.
inent in this branch of science; and it is
the reasoning faculty that all teachers
should aim TO cultivate while teaching
mathematics.
The teacher must first have the correct
idea-he must thoroughly understand
the true object to be obtained, and then
be Is ready tt lead bis pupils. Too many
teachers seem to think if they can do all
the "sums," they are competent 10 teach
arithmetic. This idea they instllI into
the minds Of their scholars, and the pupil
thinks of course that solving the problem
is all that is important in the study.
Perhaps there il no study taught in our
common schools, in which RaChsTG fail

Present Prospects OF Fruit In North
Missouri.

From observations in various localities,
the past ter days, / am fully satisfied,
that all varieties Of frui: buds are yet
uniniured by the severe cold from JaDu-
uary 18th to February 18th. The Their
mometer has ranged from &c to 2Ie
below zero in various localities in the
northern part of our State. The peach
buds are full, plump and fresh, and sci
remarkably fall upon the trees of bearing
size. Cherry, Apple, Pear and Plum, all
seem to promise an abundankYield the
coming season. Many were NGFful thai
the very warm weather of the past two
weeks, would so bring forward the buds,
that very little cold would destroy the
present promising prospects, yet the ex.
IRENE depth of frost IN the ground, al
the time Of the commencement of mild
weather and the buds being partially
shaded from the direct rays of the sun
the frost did not entirely leave the earth
This, with the remarkably dry season
when fruit growth was maturing, al
being full and healthy, yet not overgrown
is, without doubt, the cause of the pres.
ent healthy condition of the wood of fruit
trees.
Tie past week / have been trimming
my grape vines. Concord, Norton, Ives,
Clinton, Catawba, Taylor, Delaware and
a few others-all left unprotected to the
stakes-are green TO the last joint. Iona,
Israella. Adirondack, Rogers Hybrids
and many others, badly winter-killed
Of Raspberries-Doolit Miami, Min.
nesOta, and three others, fresh and green;
Philadelphia, about one-half wood dam
aged; Clark, the strongest representa-.
tive Of hardness in the Antwerp family
killed 10 the ground DaVIdson's Thorn
less and Golden Cap, partially killed.
Baltimore bell and Prairie Queen
Roses, adjoining these. that made q
growth of eight feet, are all fresh and
green.
The trying time for fruit is now upon
US. Throughout the month of March we
may look for rapid changes of tempera'
ture-snow, rain, hail and frost. If we
can pass the next thirty days safely, we
predict the heaviest crop of fruit evel
grown in the West.-Cor. Rural World
We add that from all points We
have heard, thus far, the prospects of q
fine fruit season are most encouraging
In this State they were never better.

Beans.

We underestimate beans. They are
the most nutritious Of ell the grains, and
most easily raised. They will grow on
the poorest soil, but will thrive equally
with other grains On a rich soil. In any
event they will repay the trouble laid out
upon them, only they must be planted
early enough so that the frost does moi
catch them in the fall. Beans are worth
81 per bushel. They are always a fair
market product, and always command q
good price in proportion to other grains.
This is in consequence Of the scarcity Of
the bean. People do not like to raise
beans as a general thing. The curing
rises up as an ObjectiOn-but it needs not
be one. This can readily be done, ever
in unfavorable weather. Extremes Of
weather will probably be hurtful, as with
all grains. On the whole il is a more
reliable crop than any, if its cultivation
Is well understood.
