class, and such words should be conven-
icntly arranged for study. A spelling
book SO arranged that the work of one
grade could be found in some convent
ent form, would be OF great value to
teacher in the economy of time and
labor; but no spcllingbook, however
good, should be used to tho exclusion
of all other modes of teaching spelling.
A good teacher will require his pupils
to spell in connection with all class
recitations. Every new, strange, or
peculiar word will receive attention at
the time it is used. 1t will be written
upon the blackboard, or upon the slate,
and used in the construction of SEN
fences until its form and meaning are
impressed upon the minds Of the pupils
LANGUAGE.
The object Of the study should from
| the first, be correctness and facility in
the use of language rs an expression
of thought. Pupils should be taught
TO express their ideas readily both oral
ly and in writing. Talking exercises
should be made rs prominent as writ
ing exercises, and in both, the teachers
| aim should always be to assist the pll-
pill in the expression Of his own thought.
| Language as Il science should not be
studied until late in the grammar
school course. Parsing and analysis
I property bclong to this late period
They assist but little in the correct use
Of language. Pupils Should be given
something to think about; it may be Il
familiar object or Il simple piece of com
position in the form Of II story. Having
thoughts Of their own, they should be
led to express them, simply and natur-
ally, in correct language. Whenever
they have read IN interesting story,
they should be allowed 10 tell itin their
own way TO the class Others will be
induced to make corrections, or to tell
the story more fully or correctly. The
same thing can be told in writing, and
thus pupils taught TO use tongue or
pen with equal facility.
Following this plan out tho children
can soon be taught to give the substance
of their lessons, as learned from the
textbook. with no thought of the ideas
of the author; but the child will strive,
during his study-hour, to gather tho
thought Of the writer, knowing that in
recitation he can easily clothc it in Ian
guagc of his own.
lhlS work should continue through
all the classes of the primary and gram
mar-school grades. During all this
time the pupil may learn much that
may be termed technical grammar; but
he will not know it as such, or even as
grammar" at all. Scores of exercises
may be given by the teacher, all having
for their object the familarizing of pu-
pills with the various forms and idioms
Of the language.
In the last TWO or three years Of the
grammnr-school course, and through
out the whole period spent in tho high
schools, n more careful study Of the
construction and form Of the language
itself should be pursued. The minds
of the pupils have now reached such II
state OF development that this study
will be pleasure. and progress will be
exceedingly rapid.

A PHYSICIANS OPINION ON EDUCATION.
There are II good many reasons why
physicians should have opinions about
the education OF youth rather different
from those held by most of the public
and of the professional educators.
Their whole art is founded on the study
OF the human boing-his beginning, his
dcvelopcment, his course, his decay,
and his death. All his structures and
all his functions are carefully inquired
into. A doctor must nowadays be n

Worth a Licking.

Some years ago in Georgia that band OF
Christians known as Ascensionsts were
having a grand revival. One day when
the meeting was in full force storm
came up, and young gentleman who was
out hunting with his servant took refuge
in the church door. Being curious to sec
the service the two hunters crept up into
the gallery, and there hid in place
where they could observe without being
observed.
"COme, Lord, come, our robes are
ready. Come, Lord, comc," cried the
preacher, while all present gave loud
"Amen."
"Marsa Gabc," whispered Cuffy, lifting
his hunting horn to his mouth, "let me
glib dem iist one toot."
"Put that horn down, or I'll break your
head" replied the master, in whisper.
The horn dropped by Cufy's side, and
again the minister cried, "Come, Lord,
come; we are all ready for thy coming.
Come, Lord, Come
''Do, Marsa Gabe-do jiSt lemmc giD
'em jist one little toot," pleaded Cuily,
wetting his lips and raising the horn.
'If you don't drop that horn, Cuiy,
I'll whip you within an inch of your
life," whispered the exasperated master
"Blow, Gabriel, blow; we are ready for
his coming. Blow, Gabriel, blow, " plead
cd tho minister.
Cufy could no longer resist the tempta-
tion, and sent wild peal ringing from
end to end OF the church; butlong before
its last echoes died away his master and
himself were the only occupants of the
building.

'IIave you ever driven her?" was
asked.
~ have" was the reply.
"wss there any one with you at the
time? ?" was the next question.
"There was a lady with me- the wit
ness answered.
"Was she a good drivcr?" was the next
question, the lawyer referring to the ami
NAL; but the witness understood that he
meant the lady.
"She was" he replied.
"was she gentle and kind?" asked the
legal limb, and the reply was in the af-
firmative, though the witness, still think
ing of the lady, looked little surprised.
s'She did not kick?" was the next inter-
rogation, and a decisive "No," was the
answer.
"She did not rear up, or kick over the
traces, or put her hind feet through the
dashboard, or try to run away, or act ugly,

The witness was boiling over with in
dignation by this time, and interrupted
the lawyer with, do you mean the horse

ton the pursuit OF justice was resumed.

A judgment has becn given in M inter
esting case before the Court Of Appeals at
Turin. Mis-. l.ydia Poet, who has OBJ
tained DOCTOR degree Ia law. was re-
fused ahmittance to the roll Of advocates
for reasons among which the following
are the most Interesting aud amusing
''rbe Italian law has made no disposition
expressly conscntlng TO the exercise Of
the profession of an advocate for women,
and it has always regarded that profession
as exclusively appertaining TO men. The
admission Of women would be extraordi-
nary and contrary 10 custom, and ls be-
sides expressly forbidden by an article Of
common law (article quoted. IL would
be displeasing sight 10 see a woman
pleading amid the tumult Of public
court, and even sometimes obliged 10
treat cX-profcssO questions that common
decency forbids even men to discuss Ia the
presence OF honest womea. The sight or
the toga worn over the strange and wliim-
steal dress which fashion often imposes
upon women would imperil the gravity
of the judges. Every time the balance of
Justice leaned TO the side Of prisoner de-
Tended by pretty female advocate The
judges would be exposed TO suspicion and
calumny." EFa..f
The Court OF Appeals alSo held that that
was neither tic time nor the place TO dis
cuss the equality Of women aDd their
right to exercise all professions and Offices
hitherto occupied exclusively by men.
