after it had, in four years Of oppression, III

The True Method of Teaching.

Among the great promoters of sci
entifc progress, how large is the num-
Der who may, in strict propriety, be
said to have educated themselves? ?
Take for example, such familiar names
as those of William Herschel, and
Franklin, and Rumford, and Ritten-
house, and Davy, and Faraday, and
Henry. Is it not evident that Nature
herself, to those who viii follow her
teachings, is a better guide to the
study of her own phenomena than all
the training OF our schools? And is
not this because Nature invariably
begins with the training of the OBJ
serving facultesa Is it not because
the ample page which she spreads out
before the learner is written all over,
not with words, but with substantial
realities Is it not because her les
sons reach beyond the simple under
standing and impress the immediate
intuition ?-that what she furnishes
is something better than barren in
formation passively received 1t is
positive knowledge actively gathered?
Ii, then, in the future we'.would fit
man properly to cultivate Nature,
and not leave scientific research, as,
to great extent, we have done here
tofore, to the hazard of chance, we
must cultivate her own processes.
Our earliest teachings must be things
and not words. The objects first
presented to the tender mind must
be such as address the senses, and
such as it can grasp. Store it first
abundantly with the material of
thought, and the process of thinking
will be spontaneous and easy Pres.
Barnard, in Popular Science Monthly
for April.
