Methods and FacIs.
American,


Greek and Latin hold quite an excep.
sreech. Tho one is the most perfect ex.
cmplar of the vitality and force of words :;
the other, of the rules and laws which
govern their construction. It was said of
an old Latin professor in his epitaph !:
He so taught Latin that his scholars &C.
quirsd habits of intellectual precision and
accuracy" That is tho privilege of the
professors of these ancient tongues, aud
the man who has studied them to any
purpose has been taught to do everything
with precision and accuracy. Look into
the columns of an English weekly news
paper, and read the letter of the country
gentlemen. What is the secret of their
excellent English Simply that Greek
and Latin vert Jirc he'd into them while
they were young.
This greater Importance of the knOwl.
edge of method as compared with mere
knowledge of facts is a fundamental
principle in education. In Germany they
have been discussing the matter with
reference to the higher schools and their
relation to the universities. The real
scAulen founded by Frederick the Great
dispensed with classical culture. They
teach the science and modern languages
instead. The gy,naasia give an education
based on the studies of the classics.
the two sorts of schools have stood
side by side for more than a century, and
the gymnassa have moro than held their
own. The men who have n a1e Germany
great in science, in philosophy, in histori-
cal and philogical research, and in the
"practical walks of life, have been as a
rule gymnasiasts. In Frankfort on-the-
Main, the two sorts Of schools
are combined in a single institution,
under common head. DR.. Mat
thew Arnold asked the head master what
he found to be the comparative merit of
the two systems. He replied that they
better, and that in subjects of study COM
the gymnasiasts surpassed the others,
even whers the others gave more time and
attention to those subjects. Mr.. Arnold
says he found this the common opion in
both France and Gormany,-that " the
old is better" So also in Amer
ican institutions. Judged by the
test of all results, the elevation of the
average student to something like the
intellectual level occupied by tho professor
the classical course has the best results to
show. We say this on the testimony of
professors who have to teach classes in
both courses of study. ....... Athens
and Rome are not dead cities. They have
a vitality which is felt in every channel of
public life, every line of artistic achieve
ment. Nothing is moro vital. unless it be
the prophets and evangelists of Judea,
than arc Homer and Thucydides Cicero
and Tacitus. They are the pabulum Of the
worlds best and most practical thinking.
Upon them America nourshed such men
as Alexander Hamilton, the Adamses,
Rush, jefferson, Madison, Chase, Seward.
Garfield, and host of others, who stood
up for political thoughtfulness and sobriety
against charlatanism and sensationalism.

Beecher's Bad Head. 4.

For two months In the year Henry Ward
Beecher can't preach. In August and Septem
Der he takes his vacation and endures tho
onset of the hay fever. And 1t is so he says
something terrible and tremendous. A man
with hay fever isn't accountable for his ac-
tions. He Is merely a wild beast-trantic witt
snufiing, sneczing and headache His eyes
are red and so is his nose. Every nerve in his
skull thrills with distress and his heat Is a
fountain OF tears. He lives only to fly from
seaside to mountain-tOp in search of relief.
And yet, whether we call this form of Ca
tarrh hay fever, rose-fover, hay cold or rose
cold, Ely's Cream Balm will cure 1t. This re
medy is simple, pleasant and easy OF applica'
ton. Placed In the nostrils it penetrates and
soothes the affected parts at once, restores
the impaired senses and creates healthy secre
t1ons in cases of the longest stan ing. You
cannot run away hay fever, but you can drive
1t from you by using Ely's Cream Balm.

tho change which Mr.. -Adans -peseesed,
Men in the SO called learned professions,
who have had opportunity to test the
adequacy of the old system Is q
basis of intellectual training, are
practically unanimous in advocating not
of its scope. Young graduates just out of
vigorously set forth by Mr.. Adams, but
gives them opportunity to test the value of
riably certain to convert them to the oppc.
site view.
The ultimate effect of Mr.. Adams At
tack, therefore, is likely to be.to strength.
en- the hold of the classical course upon
our college system. This is result which
will be gratifying not only to friends
of sound learning, but 70 thoughtfol
Americans generally. What We need
in this country is not merely
moro education but better and
higher education. The class of really we'll
educated men is too small for the demands
which are made for qualified leaders of
thought in the various branches of public
affairs. Foreign critics say of us that We
all have little education and few of us
real learning. It is idle to deny the truth
of tho criticism. If We are going to make
any changes, therefore, let us make
them in the direction of raising our
educational standard rather than lowering
it. We do not for a moment intend to in
innate that Mr.. Adams wishes to lower
the standard. He maintains that his plan
would not have that effect. Still, the
weight of opinion and expression is against
his view, and it seems to us to be cause
for congratulation that it has made itself
felt.
