PRINCIPLES OF Observation-Disclosures

hANS1EAE4o Oh 14DUCAIlON--EIO lCSSOl
M. Moore, of the Charlestown Ill) High
School, publishes the following very sen
sible general principles of education:
1. That education is developing, in due
order and proportion, whatever is coca
and desirable n human nature, by Yolun.
tary effort, and not the accumulation OF
facts gathered from books and acquired
under compulsory measures.
2. The true government in education
IS self-government under system of re-
publican laws, and not mere serVile com
pllance with a system of arbitrary laws
prescribed by Q Board of Education and
enforced by teachers. School govern,
ment is that Of no law, save the -unWrit-
ten law Of fright. based upon mutual re
spect OF teacher and pupil.
3. That the teacher does not stand in
the place Of the parent, and that the par
ent cannot delegate to the teacher his
Godglven right to punish his child for
Iacts of disobedience against the ''rules
and regulations" Of the school, That
when the teacher has used all the gentle
means in his power and failed to cause
that pupil to obey, then that pupil is re-
manded to the parent or guardian for
punishment. Teachers should be in
Istructors, not governors.
4. That the acquisition of knowledge
and the discipline Of the mind, by true
management, can be made delight raths
er than an irksome task.
5. That study should never be imposed
as punishment, neither should any mode
OF punishment be used which would de-
grade the pupil or injure his sensibili-
ties.
6. That. the temple of knowledge
should be built upon the perceptions of
the sense and the intuitions Of the reason.
Z, That the teacher should be a guide
to the pupil, to point out the best path
up the hill of science, to urge him to
make greater efforts, and ever ready to
aid hum, not carry him over the difficult
places. Self reliance and independence
of thought and action should be the
watchword.
s. The whole course Of instruction and
discipline should have reference to the
gaining of knowledge, the attaining of
discipline, the lifting up of the mind to
the contemplation Of beauty, truth and
excellence, and that fitting of the pupil
to perform in the best manner possible
all his duties to man and to God

Louise with the Marquis of Lorne wax

was quite destroyed. The marriage of the
Princess and her residence elsewhere
being the only resource in the emergency
a certain number Of young noblemen were
selected and invited to Windsor Castle
and the Princess required to choose q
husband from among them. She obeved
and her choice fell on the young MARQUIS
but there was nomore love between then,,
than usually attends such business ilo
arrangements. The result has been that
the Princess temper is as bad as ever
only 1t is exercised on new object The
exclusion OF the Marquis from the roval
circle, and the consequent separation Of
him from his wife on state occasions i
said to be owing to these coniupal dif
ferences; and not to any law of etiquette
4 1t is even reported that not LONG aeyo Ia, /
the Queen was sent for, and went down
to Claremont' the residence of the young
couple, to prevent a complete rupture.
