SCHOOL TEACHZNG.

What is the use of a teacher if
he or she does not teach This
is the question which is agitatiag
a good many Of our exchanges
A Virginia paper says that to
send children home in the even
ing Nth arms full of books and
half a dozen lessons to get ont
by themselves, and then in the
morniq9AtQs hear their E"recita-
%tions" and score their dement's, is
no teaching at all. 1.-THE pupil
should be taught how to study
and how to think, and this ought
to be done in the school room,
and not at home" where parents
have as much as they can do to
attend to domestic affairs, and
hear their children recite what
they have been taught by their
teachers. If hearing recitations
is all a teacher has to do, then he
is no teacher, but merely a judge
Of the child's home requirements.
Another paper says, If teachers
are paid for teaching, they should
not. in our opinion, be allowed to
omit more than half their duty
by conining themselves solely to
the work Of "recitation.'

A beautiful story is told Of q
Buddha. A young Hindeo moth
er came to him with Ter dead
child clasped to her bosom, and
asked him for medicine to restore
it to life. He sent her to one who
told her to go and get a handful
of mustard-seed from a house
where no friend had ever died
She came back after a weary
search, saying, Il have not found
it. The people OF the village told
me the living are aew, but the
dead are many" The wise man
replied, You thought that you
alone had lost a son. The law
of death rules ALL" Then she de-
voted herself to helping others.

our sorrow as a sense of sympa-
thy with those whose hearts ache
