ARTIFICIAL CRAMMING. Artificial cram.

education, some remarks recently made
by the English Pos'master-Ge blind

his exclamation, after dwelling upon the
evil effects Of attempting to cram the
mind with more than 1t can hold He did
mol think 1t would be fair to throw theen.
tire responsibility OF this on teachers.
Their better judgment WAS often controlled
by the parents, who wished their children
TO be taught an unlimited number OF
things In a very limited period. II parents
would let their children remain longer
at school, and be taught few subjects
more thoroughly, the result would be gen.
orally very much more satisfactory. The
ides Of valuing knowledge only tor its
moneys worth in after life WAS TO be
guarded against. The chief object WAS to
train the mind. Very often what WAS
learned at school WAS OF no practical
value afterward, and yet 1t formed vslu-
able course Of mental training. He could
say this from his own experience with re-
gard to the study Of mathematics. The
best est of the skill Of teacher was the
extent TO which he WAS able to discover
what WAS the b, st subject to develop the
faculty Of each individual pupil. Moth
ing could be greater mistake than tor
young man who had gained little more
education than bis father to leave his

Such course WAS doubtless sometimes
taken In the following of al idea that his
own social position would be improved;
but If society could fairly be he'd respon-
sble for such folly, he WAS afraid it would
have to answer tor thousands being en-.
coursged to seek employment where that
employment was most difficult to be OBJ
tanned.
