Der calling one morning at country
school in Saxony, where everything
about the premises, and the appear
ance both of teacher and children,
indicated very narrow pecuniary cir
cumstances. AS entered, the
teacher was just ready to commence
a lesson or lecture on French his
tory. He gave not only the events
of particular period in the history
of France, but mentioned, as he pro-
ccedcd, all the contemporary sovcr-
eigns of neighboring nations. The
ordinary time for a lesson, here as
elsewhere, was one houE. This was
somewhat longer, for, toward the
close, the teacher entered upon a
train of thought from which it was
difficult to break off, and rose to a
strain of eloquence which it was de-
lightful to heal. The scholars were
all absorbed in attention. They
had paper, pen, and ink before
them, and took brief notes Of what
was said. When the lesson touched
on contemporary events in other ma
tons, which, as | suppose, had been
the object of previous lessons, the
pupils were asked concerning them.
A small textbook of history was
used by the pupils, which they
studied at home.
