4 Perfect Home.

The most perfect home I ever saw
was little house into the incense of
whose fires went not costly things. A
thousand dollars served a years living
of father, mother and three children.
But the mother was the creator of a
home her relations with her children
were the most beautiful | have ever
seen; even the dull and commonplace
msn was lifted up and enabled to do
good work for souls by the atmosphere
which the woman created; every in
mate Of her house involuntarily looked
into her face for the keynote of the
day, AID it always rang clear From
the rosebud or clover leaf, which, in
spite of her hard housework, she al
ways found time to put by our plates
at breakfast, down to the story she
had on hand to read in the evening,
there was no intermission Of her infu-
ence. She has always been and al
ways will be my ideal of a mother,
wife and home maker.
If to her quick brain, loving heart
exquisite face had been added the ap-
pliance Of wealth and the enlargement
of wider culture, hers would have been
absolutely the ideal home As it was,
it Maa the best | have seen.-HeLen

The Honesty Of the Bible.
PROF SWING

PROF SWING
Of ali books the Bible scenes most
honest. Its men and women move
before us In life the most real. The
art Of the Middle Age Church, painted
according to an ideal, and when it group
ed the diciples on the sea-shore fishing,
it bedecked them iii gorgeous robes
as If they were fishing in the place of
the king. In the colored fresco, Paul,
the orator, is dressed in gaudy raiment,
III purple robe, and some Of the almost
barefoot apostles ride in chariots.
But the Bible knows nothing of any
such idealism. Itis a realist 1t picks
up its mortals just as they stood, and
if Jacob put goats skins on his wrists,
and if Abraham told a falsehood, if
Moses slew an Egyptian and hid his
body IN the sand, it David sent Uriah
to the front Of the battle that the
beautaous wife might become widow
all these facts of the case In the sa-
cred pages in their real deformitv.
As the Photographic art will not make
the homely beautiful nor catch lands
cape without catching the shadow Of
detormity as readily as the shadow of
beauty, SO the historic genius of the
Bib. gathers Ill Up, virtue and vice
equally, and transfers it to the record.
The history in the Scriptures is not a
composition picture but photograph,
with Abraham not only man Of large
faith, but of human iuirmity, a pho
tograph with David not only as a poet
and a king, but as a man capable of
dishonor. Thus it comes to pass that
We do not see a Hebrew nation adorn-
ed IN the gay robes Of modern fresco,
not nation that only worship Of
living and true God, but also OF ma
tion that sold slaves and stole land,
and IN many ways revealed all the
frailties Of mankind in the dark period
Before that picture the Bible student
it he would be just, must select those
features only whom God loves, those
which belong to perpetual religion
When the painters Of the last century
painted Franklin and Washington,
they threw upon their subjects the
costumes Of the day; and now when
the days have come in which the cos
tunes is opposed to our taste, and ex-
cites a smile we rise at once above it
and see the face, the eye, forehead,
mouth Of the Franklin and Washing
ton, and bless the artists that they left
for us such glorious lines Of manhood
SO all the worthless from Adam to Da-
vid stand in the Bible in the costume
Of a far off era, and we must go away
from Abraham's cloak of deciet aud
Dayid's romance and sin, and look up
on all that was beyond their age and
that pointed to a glorious future.

"It is better to yield little than to
quarrel great deal. The habit of
standing up, as people call it, for their
(little) rights, is one of the most disa-
greeabIe and undignifed in the world.
Life is too short foe the perpetual bick-
erings which attend such disposition;
and unless very momentous affair in
deed, where other peoples claims and
interests are involved, it is a question
if it is not wiser, happier, and more
prudent to yield somewhat of precious
rights than squabble to maintain them.
True wisdom is first pure, then peacea-
bic and gentle"

Life is very short, and the single
brain and hand, at best, very weak, and
there are thousands Of things to know
and 60 dc. One must choose and be
content with his choice. And SO it
comes to pass that now, at last, the
measure of mans learning will be the
amount of his voluntary ignorance, the
measure Of his practical effectiveness
the amount of what he is content to
leave uninterrupted. = Hugh Miller

TOO MANY STUDIES.

The prevalent practice OF burdening
the young mind with large number
of studies at the same time is extreme
ly injurious. When small children
are hurried and worried with half a
dozen studies, sitting up late at night
to get their lessons, and "crammingo
as they plod along to school in the
morning, it is murder - murder of
common sense, the murder of intellect,
the murder OF health anu promise.
Suppose you grown-up people were
compelled to recite long lessons in
three neW studies daily in addition to
other tasks taking the part of your
time? You would break down under
the pressure-you could not perform
such task. And yet tender children
are required to do this, and more. The
result is a very few of the aptest pupils
keep up with the course, the slower
ones drag, and the slowest give up in
despair. This system kills some,
makes superficial scholars of Others,
and does a grievous wrong to all. We
should have fewer studies, and make
the instruction given more thorough.
One stndy mastered is better than
examining with dozen. Orthogra-
ply, reading, penmanship, arithmetic
and grammar are the studies in which
the pupils of our public schools should
be thoroughly grounded, letting the
'.ologies bide their time. The "olo-
gies" are well enough in their place,
but there Is no wisdom in this cram
ming to get smattering of them at
the expense Of solidity of learning in
the branches of practical business
education.

POOR MEMS SONS.

The sons of poor men can stay only
q limited time in our public schools.
At an early age they are compelled to
leave school to earn their bread or aid
in supporting the families to which
they belong. From two to four years
at most is all they can spare for school
ing. 1t is therefore important that
this brief time should be used to Il E
best advantage; that they should
be employed, not in crammlng with a
medley of crude science and burlesque
of agriculture, but in penmanshir,
arithmetic, English grammar anu
bookkeeping. The children of the
poor are those to whom the public
school system should be adjusted.
The poor constitute the vast majority.
They are dependent on the public
schools; the rich are not; their money
will command educational advantages
denied to their poorer brethren. At
the time the son of rich man is get
ting ready for the high school or col
lege, the poor mans son, with sigh,
leaves school forever,a land goes to work
for his bread. There may be no injus-
tce in this, though there is inequality.
Inequalities of condition have always
existed and always will exist. But in
the name of justice and right give the
poor boy the best advantages you can
while he is permitted to attend school.
Plan your building so that it can be
finished, though it be small one, in
stead of planning grand edifice and
| finishing nothing-an ill-contrived
and chaotic mass remaining only as
costly monument of folly and waste.
We should attempt less and be more
thorough In what we do, Let us have
fewer studies, smaller classes, longer
ROTATIONS, and no more cram ming;
| let us have more substance and less

''Cramming."

DR.. Fitzgerald, in his address dellv-
cred before the Sonoma County Teach
ers' Institute on the 3Oth of last Sep
tember, gives the subjoined on the
practice, now so common, of cram
ming many studies into pupils. He
remarked:
The evil of cramming results from
attempting to DO too much. Did you
ever attempt to eat a railway dinner
at railway eating house in ten min
utes? In that ten minutes you take
your beefsteak, your ham and eggs,
your butter. your sausage, your pota-
toes, your cold meat, your fish balls,
your coffee, your hot cake, your bis
cult, your corn bread, your stewed ap-
pies, your corned beef and cabbage,
your pickles, your pie and your pud-
ding-all in ten minutes. This is
era amming. And this is the process
which finds its analogy in our public
schools. There Is, however, a differ
ence between the railway dinner aud
the course of study In our public
schools. The hungry traveller need
not eat everything he sees on the ta-
BILE in ten minutes. But the poor vic
tim of cramming must take his read
ing, his geography, his grammar, his
arithmetic, his algebra, his phioso-
ply, his physiology, his zoology, his
drawing, his botany and the rest. And
he must take 1t all in a hurry. He
must cram. And to add to the evil,
and to the miseries of the poor teach
er, it is no uncommon thing to see
sixty or eighty pupils in single room
under one instructor. Visited such
room in Santa Rosa recently. The
teacher was a lady of experience and
real ability, and was toiling nobly in
a vain effort to achieve the impossi-
BILE. She understood and deplored the
imperfections of the system, but what
could she do? The programme was
marked out for her, and she had to
hurry and cram as best she could.
Sixty pupils in one class are thirty too
mann.
