\ Boston lawyer was called on short

he had any waste paper to sell. The
lawyer had crisp, keen way of asking
question, and is, moreover, methodic-
al man. so pulling out large drawer
he exhibited his stock of waste paper.
~WiIl you give me two shillings for
that?7
The boy looked ut the paper very

cents.

paper was quickly transferred to the bag
of the boy, whose eyes sparkled as he
lifted the weighty mass.
Not till it was slowed away did he an
noance that he had no money.
no money? how do you expect to buy
paper without money"
Not prepared to state his plan the boy
made no reply.
"Do you consider your note good,'
asked the lawyer.
yes, sir"
Very well; if you consider your note
is good, | would just as soon have it as
the money; but if it is not good don't
want it."
The boy affirmed that he considered
t good; whereupOn the lawyer wrote a
note for fifteen cents, which the boy
signed legibly. and lifting his bag of pap

him on his way with a smiling face and

GAINING THE ATTENTION.

The teacher who fails to get the atten-
ton of his pupils fails wholly. There is,
and there can be, no teaching where this
is not secured. Gaining the attention
however. is not the only indispensable
condition. We have seen aclass wrought
by tricks and devices to the highest
pitch of aroused mental actiyity-fairly
painting with eagerness, yet learning
nothing. The teacher had the knack Of
stirring them up, and lashing them into
L half-frenzy Of expectation without hsv-
ing any substantial knowledge to re-
ward their eagelness. With his one-
sided skill he was but mountebank.
For real successful teaching thare must
be these two thingss-the ability to hold
the minds Ofthe children, and the abili-
Is to give sound and reasonable instruc-
ton. Lacking the latter ability. the
pupil goes away with his vessel untitled;
lacking the former, the teacher only
pours water upon the ground.

The money expended upon our sum-
mer country schools is very largely
squandered. We have heard Of such
schools that have been maintained dur
ing the past year with an average daily
attendance of two and a half pupils
The common average daily attendance
upon such schools, even if it should
reach twenty, is not one half as great as
the attendance upon the same schools
during the winter. There is inspiration
in numbers. Even an ungraded school
of forty pupils will do vastly better work
for each Of it, pupils than one eof twenty.
The summer is pre-eminently the time
for outdoor work in the country, even
with very young children.
1t is the most Objectionable season of
the year for school work.
During the fall, winter and spring, the
roads will be such that even the young
est pupils can attend as much as they
now do IN the short summer term, and
it is for this class alone that the contin-
uance-of the summer school is urged.
A seven months continuous school is
worth ten Of two terms separated By
months, taught as they generally are, by
different teachers. The work Of each
term being repetition of that Of the
previous term renders impossible any
such advancement as is practicable with
one long session.
\ continuous session Of six or seven
months would furnish such employ
ment as would induce country teachers
to more thoroughly qualify themselves
for this work. A better class of teachers
would be the result.

NEW YORK, April, 2,1S77.
Easter Sunday and the first Of April,

practical jokes, an admirable opportunity

The churches were filed with fash

timists regarding the weather, and in
spite of the cloudy atmosphere in the
morning and rain later on, appeared in
their best bibs and fuckers. The music

The services in the Greek Church and
