they have thirteen living children, all Of
whom were present. Their names are,
Robert. Walter, Rose, Ssllie, Monte, Carrie.
Hattie, Edward, Arthur, Charlie, Bradley,
Mamie and Clarence, and while We have
known most of them since they were born
1t puzzles US to keep up with them, as, 1t
seems to US, 1t must do even with their par
ents, unless they have q regular roll call ut
meal times. They are as well-behsved as
they are numerous, and several OF them are
accomplished musicians. The quartette We
have already mentioned makes excellent
vocal music, and little Mamie. only i've
years old, sings wonderfully well.
The dinner provided by Mrs. Beatie, for
her old aud young guests, was delicious and
the table Q work OF art In the beauty OF its
decoration, the delft fingers OF Miss Sallie

Disappearance Of the School teacher.

1t is the excessive amount of system
in our wholesale methods of teaching
that prevents the best results In any
department. The pressure Of quantity
does not give the teacher time to mold
character. DR.. Arnold himself could
not have been Dr.. Arnold If he had
been required by board oF education
to teach the greatest possible amount
Of arithmetic and geography within
given time. 1t is probable that DIR.
Arnold would have been considered
wanting In the requirements Of an
American school-teacher of the present
day. It is certain that he would have
found himself hopelessly trammeled, as
many an inspiring teacher finds himself
trammeled, by the expectations OF his
employers. The teacher who would
fain be less Of machine who would
like to take time to do some thorough
training, and to develop the men and
women Of the future-get NO oppor-
tunity. He must bring the largest pos
sible crop Of arithmetic and geography
at the end of the year all his better
work in building character Will count
for nothing with the Board" Then
there are hobby-riders, seeking to drive
into the already over-crowded course
some special study, The arts Of design
are often useful in a business way.
therefore drawing shall be universally
exacted Of the pupils. Music is charm
ing at home, therefore the vocal teacher
must have place, In one considerable
city, wealthy merchant i'm the board
of education, who found telegraphy
valuable in his own Office, has succeeded
in putting every boy and girl in the
town to clicking telegraph keys.
But, no matter what is put into the
course, it is rare that anything is taken
out. The school-master finds no place
on which to stand. His individuality IL
utterly repressed. He il a mere cog
wheel in great machine. He sinks
