The time of the year has nearly
arrived when many of the larger
boys make their annual stampede
from school. Many who leave now
of course are impelled by necessity
while not a few have no better ex-
cuse than inclination. This grand
breakup year after year does more
damage to classes than a whole
year can repair, and, to the indi-
vidual, its results are still worse.
Parents should thoroughly acquaint
themselves with the results, before
assuming responsibility in so grave
a matter. II don't take boy many
years to grow too big to go to
school. II 1t is possible to spare
him, he should have a good oppor-
tunity to build that sure life-boat-
good education.

EDUCATIONAL.

portunity to speak to parents, on
the subject of reading, there is one
thing that they would not leave
unsaid-give the children plenty
of opportunity and encouragement
to read at home. 1t is next to an
absurdity to expect much progress
in reading when all that progress
is based on few minutes in school.
An average class of twenty-five
may read 45 minutes q day. This
is less than two minutes, individual
instruction for each, or not ten
minutes week. Every body who
has been to school knows that read
ing is actually studied less than
any other study. Excellency is
attained not mainly by study, but
by practice. II they do not have
more practice than can possibly be
afforded them in school, they will,
in all probability, be miserable read
ers through life, and their homes
will be domestic oases into which
the light of literature and educa-
tion scarcely shines, and reading
aloud never known. Parents should
provide a few good books in some
way, and Juvenile paper if posi-
BILE, and then encourage the child
rem to read them; or, If necessary,
insist that they read them. That
is the way teachers do at school
and parents would find fault if they
neglected this duty. Coaxing and
a few tears may melt the average
boys heart for few minutes, but
it don't take it long to freeze up
again when he gets with crowd of
other boys, and he will be queer
mortal il he don't Immediately con-
clude that he is master of the sit
uation at home, and his conclusions
will not be astray either. A teach
er who would rely on the coaxing
system, in the government of her
school, would not be worth the pa
per wasted in writing her contract,
aud yet there "so somo Poronts who
seem to make this system theii
sole reliance. They say in the
plainest language known to man
-actions-"If you are determined
to stay at home, why stay. Ishan't
drive you to school. 1t will do you
no good. But remember this: you
will be sorry some day" In sub
stance this very language is often
spoken, and it is every day acted,
as though the responsibility of this
thing could be shifted at will from
the shoulders of the parents, who
by long years of experience know
the value of an education, to the
shoulders of the children who know
nothing yet by the hard school of
experience, of what tremendous
odds the uneducated man must
contend against in life.
Parents should therefore insist
upon it that the children should
spend their evenings at home
never in the street. Never send
them on errands after supper if
they are inclined to prolong their
stay. Send them before supper,
and they will return then in good
time. After supper hear them read
aloud for a while, or read to them.
Then read in concert with them.
A little exercise of this sort fire.
quently would not harm most pa
rents any, and would do the child
rem worlds of good.
In these home exercises let writ
ing also come in for its full share
of attention, for no one ever came
to be good writer, by practice in
his coDv-bOok alone.
