Better Methods.
BY ANNA c. BRAcKErr.

Al. the usual ways of teaching child
rem notation and numeration seems to
me waste of time and "clackerine
counsel by words without knowledge
If you simply take it for granted thai
the child can write the numbers, he
viii write them. And when he hest.
tates IN reading, just tell him. Don't
make him think tina. he has forgotten
something he ought to know. Read
and let him read after you. In shor,
time he will catch the trick. Do not
allow him to use any devices to save
his memory. He must add always
from the beginning straight up the
columns, as business man adds. He
must never say three and two are five,
and six are eleven. But always three,
FIVE, eleven, and so on. And he must
never be taught to write down the
numSer he IS 70 save. He will never
do it unless some one suggests 1t In
subtraction. write no,hing but the
minuend and subtrahend, and answer.
He must not check off his figures in the
dividend as he uses them, as l have
seen some children taught 10 do. He
must use Ills memory and his attention
to keep the number.
That l may no; be thought TO be the
orizlng, l must state here thae have
class OF nine little girls Of six and seven,
who eight months ago did not know
even how to make figures, and who
have been taught in this way. They
have had halt hours lesson five times
a week, and half hour to perform
their examples. They know their null
uplication table up to twelve, and can
add, subtract, multiply and divide-of
course, not without some enors-but
fairly well. Their errors are those of
carelessness, not of ignorance. They
write numbers of any length and read
them, l often supply the name Of the
family" as they call it. They have
had no book. We have used Wal
toms cards, ofcourse, for examples.
But l do not mean to imply that they
have been confined to abstract num-
bers. III tell them that "once upon a
time" a little g;rlhad 6s7s white aprons
and wanted TO put them away in five
trunks SO that there should be as many
in one trunk as in the other, they know
what to do, and they dot. The same:

influences which naturally stood in the
way of closer union.

lost the ccntroll by sea There is in
this country school ofphllosophers
who argue that it would be better
II the country were surrounded by
Chinese wall or even Ey a sea OF fire,
and that as far as material prosperity
is concerned We would be better off
without any foreign trading. But the
good sense of the people teaches
them that the national prosperity is
merely the reward of the exer,ions of
those who work at honest trades and
callings for the means of decent living,
and that the wider the area of their in
dustry IS the greater will be their wells
being. The Mexican treaty widen
this area and increases our trade, and
so cannot but benefit the people of this
country.-Post Despatch.
