Simply the supplying of her system

attend the meetings of our Institute?
/ am sorry, indeed, / am ashamed OF
the fact, that the average attendance
at these meetings will not exceed
twenty. just to think, that the ris-
ing generation of this grand old
county are being taught by persons
who are not willing to meet in the
Institute, and help to provide ways
and means, and to talk over,the best
methods of training the young minds
of our county is to me h~umiliating

TEACHING READING.-I.
PROF. Ct. WALTER DALE.

One of the very first difficulties
that the teacher encounters in teach
ing reading to pupils of any grade is
the tendency to express the thoughts
of an author in a me chanical or arti-
fical manner, not partaking in the
slightest degree of the individuality
of the reader. This is not confined
to children, but the older pupils learn
it young and carry it up through life.
There seems to be an influence exert
ed by the presence of print that de-
stroys our naturalness. All reading
should be natural and that condition
of n~aturalness should be thoroughly
in accord with our own sympathies.
In other words, we should recite the
thoughts of others just as we would,
had they originated with us under
similar circumstances. Ask a pupil
to read from a book the sane idea
that you may have heard him utter a
moment or an hour ago and you will
find a Of expression altogeth-
er foreign to his own nature.
We know when we hear such per-
sons that they are reading. But such
should not be the case. Teach your
pupils that reading is merely saying
something that has been said before.
Teach them to study the n and to
understand it SO thoroughly that they
can enter into the spirit. There is
too much attention paid to conven-
tionalities in teaching e~locution to
children. Too much stress is laid
upon rising and falling infections,
pitches, force, and grammatical
pauses, to the exclusion of their re-
lation to sense. i hope no teacher
who reads this is guilty of teaching
pupils to stop long enough to coun
n at a comma, two at a semicolon,
and to come down thud and coun.
six at q period. If you do, lose ne
time in reforming 1t altogether. The
Evolutionary pause is the rhetorical
pause and is only properly applied
through n understanding of the sense
Nothing should be said about rhetori
cal pauses to children. The idea i
too abstract for their comprehension
and they should be taught to observ
them intuitively, which may be &C
complished easily by the skiilfr
teacher who understands it himself
Punctuation marks are not pauses
They sometimes chance to coincid
with pauses but it is not governed b
rule.
This same mechanical, technic;
instruction is carried on through I'll
other topics l have mentioned, an
begets that stiff inexpensive recit;
ton of words without ideas usual
called reading.
Much preparation is necessary
order to teach this branch. 1t is Il
great desideratum in the qualifcatic
of the primary teacher, and whoev'
aspires to teach shoald be keen
alive to the responsibility resting upc
him in this matter. More simplicity
more nature with the underestimate
that in this sense is meant that natu
which is the climax of art.

cessful 10 sixteen races and one, that of last year
resulted in dead heat
At half past nice he sun was shining aud the
weather was perfect for the race, the water was
smooth, and the crown immense along the entire
course.
Betting at Putuey before the start was four to
one on Oxford. which was freely offered, but no
takers the result beicg considered certain.
A capital start made at fifteen minutes al
ter ten. Cambridge had the Middlesex side of
the river, while Oxford was on the Surrey side.
Cambridge got off first, rowing a faster stroke
than Oxford. The Cantabs led by about . third
of length when off Smmonds' Yard two fur
longs from the starting point, and they continued
TO increase When oil Bishops Greek, three fur
longs from Putney, the Cambridge boat was al
most half length ahead. Cambridge slightly
added TO their advantage, and just below the site
OF the old half lie post led by something like
two thirds Of length At the lower end Of the
garden of Craven Cottage, three furlongs from
Bishops Creek, where Cambridge was rowing 80
strokes to the minute, Oxford began to come up

An AstOnishing Fact.

A large proportion of the American people are
TODAY DYING from the effects of Dyspepsia or dis
ordered liver. The result of these diseases upon
the masses of intelligent and valuable people is
most alarming, making life actually burden in
stead of pleasant exstsnce Of enjoyment and
usefulness as it ought to be. There is no good
reason for this, if you will only throw aside pre-
JUDGE and skepicism, take the advice of Drug
gists and your friends, and try one bottle OF
Greens August Flower. Your sp edy relief is
certain. Millions Of bottles of this medicine have
been given away to try its virtues, with satisfac
tory results in every case. You can buy a sample
bottle for 10 cents to try Three doses will relieve
