Various parties have also told us that
she was well known In this city, but this

The Graduating System.
CONTINUED.

1T is not the length Of time pupil
spends upon bis subject, but the inten
sity or thought that benefits him.
Wade. When pupil once takes up
the course, he will no longer look over
his books aimlessly and curelessly
knowing as he does that he has 10
stand an examination and TINT his fu-
tire success is very. mach dependent
upon that examination, This incenti @
alone may DC the means Of many pu-
pils gaining more mental strength and
knowldIe in one term than he would
otherwise gain in three terms. We
believe it will. BESIDES this stimulus
to pupils, this system will introduce in.
to many OF our schools greater yarie-
~ OF studies. Who that knows INV.
thing about school work will DENY the
increased advantage Of having seyera,
stuff over worrying along with one or
two! Give pupil but one study and.
when he tires upon that, lie has moth:
ing upon which to rest but give him
severai studies and when he is tired OF
one he takes another as n rest.
We should remember the relation
which some stu lies bear TO each 9th.
er. The study OF history helps US to
pursue the study Of geography with
more interest. Acquaintance with al
geOra will enable US to better under.
stand the principles OF arithmetic. In
short, there is no one thing i'm the vast
sum OF hrman knowle lge entirely isola.
ted. and no person is iiksly TO be
perfectly acquainted with any one sub
Ject who confines his time TO that sub
Ject alone. The testimony Of the best
teachers, where this system has been
properly tested, confirms the fact that
