SUSPENSION.

The following thoughts from the racy
pen of Mr. Mahoney, Editor of Barnes
Educational Journal may be extrava
CANT and radical, but they contain more
than modicum of suggestive truths:
"FLOGGING is no part of TEACHING.
The two words have nothing in common;
the one belongs to a condition of bar
barism and the other to state of civili-
zation.
The proper work of the theacher
should not be made secondary and
subservient of the duties Of the par
ent, the police. magistrate or the lilor
The public schools should be oper
only to those who are willing to avail
themselves of their privileges. The boy
who disturbs the proprieties of the
schoolroom, who takes the attention o.
the teacher from teaching should nc
more be permitted to remain there thar
is the man whose disorderly conduct in

AFTER THE LAST POPULAR SCIENCE
LECTURE

WHAT SHE SAID ON THE WAY HoMF.
Yes, l think it was perfectly splendid
I'm sure feel awful wise,
With my head full of glaciers and icebergs
Of such a ridiculous size;
And the masses of what-do-you-call-it!
The dirt that is ever so Old
And came down on the ice to New Jer-
1t must have been horribly cold.
The views, too, weren't they lovely:
Especially Mont Blanc and the Alps;
Though the last ones were perfectly fright
full
Those men with the clubs and the scalps.
Well, maybe they didn't have scalps-
They frightened me all the same;
And that animal-wasn't he hOrrid,
The what d-hesaywas-his name:
Oh! perfectly dote upon science;
think it's just jolly good fun;
And wish l were going on your expe-
Dition, with knapsack and gun.
Mamma says Pm growing strong-minded
And should cut OFF my hair,and all that
Though eyeglasses would not become,
And how could keep on my hatg
Here's the end of our walk-Good-n might
You may call Wednesday evening, Rob
And we'll talk of the Glacial Epoch,
And the wonderful thingamabOb.

ALPHABET METHOD OF TEACHING
READING.

In the Alphabet method the pupil first
learns the names of the letters of the
Alphabet, and then BY tedious repetition
of the combinations of these unmeaning
symbols in syllables and words learns,
unconseiously perhaps, to associate with
them their sounds and thus by a long
and circuitous path is led to intelligent
and independent reading.
Irrational and unphilosophical though
this method may be in view of the fact
that the name of letter is poor index
of its power in combination, it is the
method by which the great mass of the
readers of even the present day we're in
Quoted into the mysteries of the printed
page. AS distinct method it has had
its day. Let it rest with the honors OF
the past. 1t is extravagence, how
ever, to assert that there is no virtue in
this method, that the names of letters are
no indication whatever of their sounds,
and do not assist at all in learning to
read. This is not true, as very few OF
the names Of the letters of the alphabet
can be uttered without,at the same time
giving utterance to their sounds.

CHEERFUL SCHOOL ROOMS.

Too many school officers and parents
fail to realize the importance Of making
any special efforts to cultivate the
aesthetic tastes Of the children in our
schools, and they also fail to appreciate
the effect that this deficiency in their
education has upon their general char
acters, and upon their active lives Bu;
to see the difference that such culture
can make it is only necessary to become
acquainted with ard note the contrast
between child that has been reared in
the midst of refinementa and good cul-
ture, and the one that has been reared
without these advantages. Too many of
the children who attend our public
schools must grow up without the sur
roundings that tend to refine their tastes,
in fact the home influences of many of
them tend only in the opposite direction,
so that unless the schools can offer some
assistance they must grow up without
that cultivation Of the finer part of their
natures that goes so far toward making
the true gentleman or lady. But with
proper efforts ON the part of school Off
GERS, parents and teachers, the school
can be made to do much towards sup
plying the deficiencies that many chill
dren find in their homes.

VISITING SCHOOL,.

The frequent visiting of schools By
parents establishes feeling of sympa-
thy and confidence between teacher.
pupils and parents that is very essential
to the success of the teachers work.
Parents are liable to know definitely
what their children are doing and can
act intelligently in all questions of diff
ference, and can thus very materially
aid the teacher in her work
We have known instances in which
pupils have been absent from school for
days while their parents supposed they
were at school and the teacher thought
they we're kept at home for some cause.
Such a circumstance could scarcely
arise where the parents were in the hab
it Of visiting the schools faithfully.
Reader, if you are a parent, allow us
to ask you few questions. Have you
visited the school your children are at
tending, recently? DO you KNOW what
studies they are pursuing and wha,
progress they are making? Do you
know that they always go promptly to
school when you send them from home,
Do you KNOW whether The teacher is
doing her duty or not2 Are you person
ally acquainted with the teacher. II
you cannot answer all these questions
affirmatively we advise you to begin the
work Of school visiting at once. Your
child may, sometimes, not go 70 school
when you send him in the morning. he
may not be making that progress in his
studies that you think he is making. and
it is your duty to know about il. II is
not a small thing that its education
should be wrong or imperfect, and you
cannot wholly divest yourself of respon
sibility for such results
II every father and mother in every
district should visit the school once each
term, and should go there in the proper
spirit, the work Of the teacher would
become a work Of constant pleasure. and
our schools would take such a forward
stride that we would be astonlshed at the
result

lay close down beside the river,
My bow we'll strung, well filed my quiyer
The god that dwells among the reeds
Sang sweetly from their tangled bredes.
The soft-tOngued water murmured low,
Swinging the flag leaves to and fro.
Beyond the river, fold on fold,
The hills cleaned through film OF gold.
The feathery osiers waved and shone
Like silver threads in tangles blown.
A bird. fire-winged, with rubby throat,
Down the slow, sleepy wind did float.
And drift and fit and stray along.
4 very focal fame of song.
A white sand isle mdmost the stream
Lay sleeping by its shoals of Dream.
In lillied pools, alert and calm,
Great bass through lucent circles swan.
And farther by rushy brink
\ shadowy fawn stole dowR to drink,
Where tall thin birds unbalanced stood
In sandy shadows of the flood.
And what did beside the river
With bow well strung and we'll filled
quiver:
| lay quite still, with half closed eyes,
Tapped in dream of paradise,
Until l heard bow cord ring,
And from the reeds an arrow sing.
How quickly brothers merry shout
Put nv sweet summer dream to rout.
l knew not what had been his luck,
II well or i'll his shaft had struck;
But up sprang, my bow half drawn,
With keen desire to kill the fawn.
Where was it, then? Gone like my dream!
| only heard the fish-hawk scream,
And the strong, striped bass leap up
Beside the lilly's floating cup.
l only felt the cool wind 90
Across my face with steady flow;
only saw those thin birds stand
Unbalanced on the river sand,
Low peering at some dappled thing
In the green rushes quivering.
