results.
The celebrated instructor Froebel, of
kindergarten fame, says that knowledge
without skill is like u stuffed elephant: Il
"may challege our astonishment, but can.
not exert any influence in life." A mod.
ern language is most useful 10 the scholar
If he is able to speak It. It Is a mistake
to torment pupils with dry grammar
rules and pedantic translations and the
like, and not make use of the German
language as the means OF instruction,
The German teacher cannot possibly be
so foolish as to think that his pupils will
learn TO speak German while he talks
English TO them. Learning living Ian.
guage, like swimming, must be tried BY
the pupil. The teacher must, on the
other hand mot lead his pupils into too
deep water at frat; he must Withstand
the temptation to exhibit his erudition
in grammar, philosophy, literature, ETC.,
before his pupils are prepared to under.

speak plain. But he must speak it, for

THE daily announcement Of continual
failures, assignments and other business
embarrassments throughout the country,
is not pleasant reading, but We have moi
yet heard, from even the SteubenviIle
Gazette, that these misfortunes are solely
attributable to the fact that Hayes was
counted in. We feel grateful to the
Gasctie for not narrowing our feelings
with any remark to this effect thus far.
It is bad enough to read Of these troubles
without being made to feel that Hayes
and the rest Of us are personally respon.
sible for them.
