Coed Scholarship.

A correspondent of the Mineral
Point Tribune calls attention TO two
rather remarkable scholars. He
says.
d. b Jones and It. d. Jones, of
Mifflin, Wis, two brothers, recently
graduated at tho head of their class
at Princeton College, N. j., both
standing alike, with an average
scholarship Of SO 40 in maximum
of 100. Besides this, d B. Jones won
the Fellowship Prize. amounting to
5000, in Experimental Scierce and
I. D. the prize in Mental Science.
Numerous other prizes they have
won, amounting in all to $1,000. T..
d. Jones was selected to represent
Princeton College in Mental Science,
in an Inter- Collegiate contest, which
took place January Sd, 1877, IN the
city of New York. The judges, Pres.
Noah Porter, Henry Is. Smith and
G. p. KraDth unanimously conferred
the first prize upon the essay Of
"Thomas," which proved to have
been written by T. D. Jones. The
prize amounted to $500. The two
brothers are now in Germany pursu-
ing their studies.

Anecdote of Luther.

1t is we'll known that the parents of
Martin Luther were exceedingly Sc
vere-more than this, for their pun
ishments, even for slight offences,
were absolutely cruel. But all may
not be familiar with the following an
ecdote, which illustrates his own
character as a father.
One day while he was converting
with friend, his little boy was
brought by the nurse into the room in
furious passion. Luther, taking lit
tie apparent notice, quietly rose,
crossed the room to the piano, and
began playing some grand old minor
melody. In few moments the boy
was Gained and could be reasoned
with gently and effectually.
Perhaps, with child of different
temperament, just this course might
not succed-perhaps not always with
the same child. But the fathers ac>
ton evidenced two things;th hat he tried
earnestly TO understand his boys dis
position and adapt his management to
it; and that he sought to govern, as far
as possible, by gentle means.
Not every father, not every mother,
thus knows. or makes the effort to
know the child. Not every one rules
his or her spirit sufficiently to meet an
ger with calmness and gentleness
combined with resolution.
"Like cures like" is all very we'll in
medicine and some other things, but
we are apt to practice it in pervert-
ed form. Passion may be temporarily
suppressed by fear-shut in, hidden
from sight, like the flames of burning
coal with fresh fuel cast upon it. But
not till fire qUencheS fire will the
child's temper be improved by coun-
ter irritation on the part of father oil
mother. {
The main thing needed is TO brin
another and differen. feeling into play
as in this case, as may sometimes be
effected by turning the child's atten-
ton to some ludicrous object, (for an
ger and mirth cannot coexist, )and in.
various ways.
No single method will serve at all
times, but common-sense use OF this
general principle in loves and patience,
will, eeoner or later, succeed.

Heart Culture and Brain Culture.

The Woman'S journal makes the
following remarks, which it is well
worth pausing while to consider ::
can intellectual education alone is not
sufficient The Statistics of crime
mislead on this point, inasmuch as
they do not include the wrong-doing
which is committed inside the law,
and which, by making sin respectable,
does more to lower the moral tone Of
society than the more startling kinds
which makes it infamous. Heart cul-
ture, equally with brain culture. should
be considered legitimate part of the
teachers work, and part for which
they should receive special prepare
ton. 1t cannot be satisfactorily ac-
complished by moral maxlms, or d.
rect moral instruction. Suggestions
were made as to methods, and Fene.
lon, Fellenberg, and other, were cited
as examples of educators who had
been successful in this direction. Our
present system of education is one
sided and does not truly educate. The
State is spending $20O,000,000 year
in the punishment of crime; in educa-
ton, $l0O,OOo,OOO. The power which
claims the right of Furnishing. should
assume the duty of directing. Pre-
vention is better than cure. The State
should be urged to bring it's educa-
tional forces to bear upon character
by giving the teachers the just-named
special preparation, no matter at what
money cost. 1t should be urged to do
this, not only in the name of common
sense and Justice, but as measure of
public economy, measure which will
diminish pauperism and crime, and, to
sum up the whole, as something that
we, the people, must do TO be saved.
This is work which lays behind all
reforms, all reformatory institutions,
and all charities"
