What the Birds ACCOMPLISH.

The swallow, swift and night-haWk
are the guardians of the atmosphere
They check the increase of insects that
otherwise would overload it. Wood
peckers, creepers and chickadees are
the guardians of the trunks Of trees.
Warblers and fiy-catchers protect the
foliage. Blackbirds, crows, thrushes
and larks protect the surface of the
soil. Snipe and woodcock protect the
soil under the surface. Each tribe has
it's respective duties to perform in the
economy of nature. It is an undoubt-
ed fact that if the birds were all swept
off the face Of the earth, man could
not live upon it. Vegetation would
wither and die. Insects would be-
come SO numerous that no living
thing could withstand their attacks.
The wholesale destruction Occasioned
by grasshoppers, which have lately
devastated the West, is undoubtedly
caused by the thinning out Of such
birds as grouse, prairie hens, ETC.,
which feed upon them. The great
and inostimable service done to the
farmer, gardener and florist by the
birds, is only becoming known by
sad experience. Spare the birds, and
save your fruit. The little corn and
fruit taken by them is more than com
pensated for by the quantities of
noXious insects they destroy. The
long-persecuted crow has been found
by actual experience, to do far more
good by the vast quantities Of grubs
and insects he devours than the little
harm he does in the few grains of corn
he pulls up. He is one Of the farmers
best friends.

COMMON SCHOOLS.

Common schools were unknown
among the ancient nations. The
schools Of Athens were for the chill
dren Of the wealthy. In Sparta the
chief object was muscular, not intel
lectual development, while the Roman
ideal was soldiers and not scholars.
NOT until the dawn Of Christianity
did the idea of universal education
spring up. At very early period in
the history of Christianity do we find
the church and the school side by side,
and strenuous effort made to give
instruction to rich and poor alike.
These schools were, Of course, to q
large extent, church schools in which
religious education occupied very
prOminent place, but at the same
time the fundamental idea Of educa-
tion for all was never lost sight of.
thus they continued to the time Of
Luther. His proposed reform consist
ed chiefly in placing the schools under
the control Of the civil government
rather than that of the church.
Through his efforts a free-school
system was established in Saxony as
early as 1927, and in several of the
Other German States soon after.
In Scotland, through the influence or
John Knox, schools were founded by
law in connection with the establish
eff church, and manycof these schools
are still in existence. So general was
education among all classes, that, for.
a long time, the Scotch were the most
universally educated people Of Europe.
This honor, however, now belongs to
Prussia. Her present system is only
enforced for d little over half cen
tury, but during that time the tidal
wave Of intelligence has moved for
ward with wonderful rapidity so that
ignorance has been reduced to mini
mum and it is rare to find a Prussian
who cannot read write. The schools
sre under the almost entire control Of
the state. They are state schools in
fact as well as III name, and the chief
object sought is intelligent citizens.
In England too, and in fact in all the
nations Of Europe, there has been
within the last few years, a great
awakening in the matter of popular
education. Each nation is striving
IN its own way to make education
more universal. But perhaps the
most wonderful improvement in this
direction in the history of the world
is the recent progress in Japan. This
nation has all at once aWaked from a
long stupor and is now laboring for
Che establishment of schools and the
diffusion Of intelligence with an
energy and determination of purpose
not surpassed by the most highly
civilized nations of past or present
times. If Japan in the future thus

A Book agent, writing to his pub
fishers concerning valuable educa-
tional work, says that he is much dis
couraged, because seventy per cent of
the teachers are young girls, who do
not hesitate to spend ten dollars for. a
fashionable bonnet, but can not be in
duced to spend two dollars for work
essential to success in their calling.
While we believe the young man exag-
gerated, still his statement contains an
|element of truth. We have too many
in the school-room, who seldom, if ever,
read anything pertaining to their pro-
fession, or make any effort to improve
their qualifications as teachers. 1t
would be an interesting fact, if we
could know the number of teachers
who take an educational journal, or
own so standard work as pages
Theory, and Practice of Teaching"
We lack an esprit de corps, and while
we are not willing to croak, still we
do wish to tell the truth. If by any
means, we as teachers, could respect
ourselves more, we should be more
respected by others, and if we could
elevate our own mental character, we
could more easily elevate the minds of
others. Teaching should be an intel
lectual calling; it often is not, and
years pass away iii dull routine, with
no genuine study into tho art and
science of that grandest Of all callings,
training the mind. Successful teach
ing is the result of profound study,
first Of ourselves, and then Of our pu-
pills, and lastly, Of what we are to teach
them.-NotionG1 Teachers Month5y.
