A COMMON error is to devote too
much time to oral reading The abil-
ity to read for Others should not be
more sought after than the ability to
read understandingly for ourselves
The latter is the more important We
need more silent reading taught in our
schools The wower TO CLEAN from the
printed page, by silent meditation, the
knowledge contained therein, will be
of great service to the pupils in after
days.-ALstOE Ellis.

ORDISARILY the school room is Oecu-
pied by from twenty-five to one hundred
scholars, boys and girls, and it is of the
utmost importance TO their health and
happiness that the place in which they
are obliged to spend so much of their
time be kept as clean as possible. This
can not be done by nannual scrubbing,
and then during the remainder of the
year scraping off the surpn.1 mud and
smoothing down the surface with a
broom. Every school room ought to be
cleansed with water as often rs once in
two or three weeks, and in this way it
may be kept reasonably pure. Pure air
is a good thing, but what avail our sys-
TENS of ventilation if the school rooms
themselves constantly give off impure
exhalations from their walls and floors.
1t is the business of the school officers to
see TO it that proper means are used to
keep the school rooms clean, and when
they fail to do it they fail to perform
their duty.
