EDucAT1oN.-Dean Stanley, in recent
~ distributing the prizes to the pupils of
the City of London Ladies' College, said
that to insure success in education, two
conditions were essential: First, to learn
one thing at time, and learn it tho
roughly; and second, to avoid "cram-
ming" This advice is peculiarly appli-
cable to the systems of education pursued
in the American colleges and schools.
The lists of studies require acquaintance
with more books than could be studied
to advantage In course Of two or three
times the number of years proposed.
Consequently mere smattering of know
ledge is acquired by the student, and no
really servicenble information is OBJ
tanned. -
SUMMER READING. -Messrs. D,ffie (,
Chapman have furnished us with copies
OF several works, by well-known authors,
which will aid materially and pleasantly
IN killing time during the summer SOL
stice. The first is a republication of
Charles Reade's popular ':Love Me
Little, Love Me Long" the price of
which is only thirty-five cents. The
next is "Foui Play" by Charles Reade
and Dion Boucicault This work has
achieved considerable notoriety-having
been dramatized and performed to ap-
preciative audiences in England as we'll
as this country. The price of the volume
is twenty-five cents. The third is
"Hetty," by Henry Kingsley. author of
"Stretton." The story is cleverly told,
and is very original; it can scarcely fail
to be read with interest, aa it is very far
above the average run of novels. The
price is only twenty-five cents Harper
& Brothers are the publishers.
