Edncation of Children,

Herbert Spencer's conclusions, which
should be read and pondered by all who
are interested in the training OF. chill
dren, are that there should be no dis
cord between the instructive wants OF
children and their habitual treatment;
that nature and instinct are always tC
be trusted, and that no other guidance
is worthy of confidence. In short, the
ordinary tastes and instincts of children
are given them for wise purpose, and
we ignore them at our peril. Suppose
we apply this principle to moral educa-
ton and try to discover how far the fail
ure of American adults to possess suiti-
GENTLY clear perceptions OF justice is due
to the absence of the sentiment OF JUS
tice in American children. A French
writer has said that childhood thirsts
after Justice; and many American par
ents and teachers know that this seems
to be child's strongest moral sentl-
mcnt. Children are far quicker than
grown persons to detect injustice, and
to resent it; it is only in later life that
they become callous to it. The senti
ment of Justice, far from developing,
seems TO dwindle as we advance in life;
nor can we affirm that its diminution Is
due to the worlds hard usage, for it
generally becomes weakest among those
who lead the most sheltered lives. AS
these weak perceptions of justice are
not to be accounted for by any lack OF
the sentiment of justice in children,
they must be due to its non-cultivation.
i. j. Rousseau, in his work on educa-
ton (sEmile'O, points out that the SEN
- - 10 0tiDpfI11llN
awakened and fostered in a little child
by telling him of his rights, rather than
by insisting only on his duties toward
others; and for this reason: a child Is
the center of the universe to himself,
and apprehends best what touches HIM
nearest. His first notions of justice are
not derived from his obligations to 9th
ers. but from the obligations of others
to him. Rousseau does not say that a
child should not be taught his duty to-
ward his neighbor; but that the senti-
ment of Justice should first be fixed in O
cbild's mind by what touches himself,
in order that IL may be clearly appre-
hended. Certainly the contrary meth
od-that of instructing child only in
his duty toward his neighbor-has had
a fair trial, with no very brilliant re-
suit. Generation after generation OF
American children have been taught,
both at home and in the Sunday school,
the higher spiritual doctrines OF self-sac-
rifice and generosity, even before they
could speak plainly; and yet many OF
these children have grown up to be dis
honest men and insincere women. we
attempt too much, too soon; we are SC
anxious to force open the bud that we
neglect to water the root Children are
taught that giving away things, even
before they have the slightest conc.ep.
ton of value, is generosity, and that
cant about loving everybody is highly
virtuous and praiseworthy. They should
rather be taught that the utterance o.
amiable phrases Is not loving ones
neighbor any more than the giving o.
what costs us nothing is generosity.

In "The Populai Science Monthly
for March, Mr.. Gerrit l.. Lansing,
considering "The Growth and Effect
OF Railway Consolidation" shows
by citations from reports and the
comparison of statistics that the OPP
Grafton Of consolidation has so far
been advantageous to the public as
well as TO the railway lines, by fur
nishing more convenient transporta-
tlon and at cheaper rates, than could
have been obtained had the various
lines which have been absorbed into
the larger ones been left TO operate
separately. DIR. OSwald's "Queer
Phases of Animal Life" is full ofin-
terest and genial humor and TIE illus

Meeting" discusses the change which
has come over that institution, trans
forming it from a feast of tabernacles

at the Sea side" compliments it by
exposing the fearfully unsanitary con.
dtion of most seaside resorts. Cap
tain J. w. Shackford, in "Icebers
and Fog in the North Atlantic" sets
forth the advantages of q southern
route, as giving a means Of avoiding

Books VS.. the Powers Of Observation.

It was lately remarked in these co..
umns that one of the dangers attendant
on education was that it might lessen
mems powers OF observation. There IS
no doubt, we apprehend. that this pos
sibility does exist. Bookishness and abb
sence of mind are no new ,aults among
students. Among the more cultivated
classes they have, indeed, been Tor a
considerable time in process OF dlm'nu-
ton, and the last half century more par
ticularly has seen great change in this
respect. Physical science has reused
students, who in former ages would
have been abstract thinkers and nothing
| more, to careful and steady observation
OF external things. Facilities of stray-
cling have acted as another stimulus in
| the same direction; and the love OF
nature has been power over sentlmen-
| tai minds, and has led them insenslbly
from quiet enjoyment OF their sur
| roundings to more active investigation.
So that altogether the classes which at
the present day have the advantage 9.
the higher education are tar more ob-
servant than were their iorerunners OF
three OF four centuries ago; and. though
even now many OF the mathematlclans
and philosophers who walk the streets
of our univers ties live largely in a
mood of abstract thought. we must DC
careful OF finding undue fault with this.
for the inward eye has some claims 7 no1 r'
lightly to, be despised, But, with ,.f re.
spect to the mass Of the nation, the
] question we have raised is one that de-
serves good deal of attention. Popu!al
education is stil in the booklsh stage
/ and, without complaining OF what is in
evitable, we may and ought to inquire
/ whether literary study does now ~ thf
lower ranks promote that vice OF mob
seryance which it certainly promoted II
the higher ranks a. century or TWO W ago Y,
4 Equally we have to inquire whe her tht
virtue which is the converse Of thl'
error NAV be fostered: whether ant
how the study of books may be made t
minister to powers o. direct observation
1 instead of being adverse to them. ant
