Theory and Practice.

MEssRs EDITORS
Dear Sirs Much has been said and writ
ten concerning Method" "Theory," "Pra'-
ticc," &c, "TheOry and Practice" are terms
many suppose to be identical and the same,
But like "Tact and Talent" are as oppo-
site as positive and negative. Those terms
in principle and experimental practice, can
not become united power, except, they
are combined in the individual. Theory is
only the imaginary work Of the mind, based
upon presumed self evident facts, seldom
reduced to practice by the same Individual.
Practice is the consummation Of the work.
by experimental performance. After an
elaborate preparation through years of per-
severance In study and apprenticeship nm
til the individual becomes skilled in the
acts and professions or occupations, after
which he relies wholly upon experimental
knowledge not upon theory. Every per-
sons vocation in life is the "tread mill"
upon which he depends for living, wheth-
er in the service of public or private inter-
est, corporate or individual, mechanical or
agricultural professional or educational,
church or state. 1t is always desirable to Oh
tain the most in the least possible time and
at the least possible cost therefore skill and
experimental knowledge are always prefer
able to theory. 1t is not an easy thing for
one individual to reduce to successful prac-
tice the theory of another individual. 1t
is the next thing to an utter impossibility,
Every individual has his own peculiarities,
channels and medium of thought, power
of communicating ideas, or of imparting
instruction. A person may be a good theo-
retical farmer, but a practical and expert
mental failure. He may also be good
theoretical teacher, but nevertheless prac-
tical and experimental failure, This prin-
ciple applies to all vocations in life. Nature
teaches the natural order of things. Theory
conflicts. What is necessary, particular
ly in our schools, are good common sense,
and experimental knowledge reduced to
practical aud earnest work by corps OF
faithful and competent teachers, when the
best results may not only be expected, but
always realized, The teachers profession is
peculiar in itself. No matter how wei
qualified intellectually the teacher may be
| if he has not the power, or adaptablity .ot
communicating, or imparting his know!
edge to others, no amount of theory will
improve his capacity A successful teach
er must I've one naturally and practically
Theoretically he is failure, except tn,
theories, have been proved and found t
be in direct line of his course and conduct

Now that the Pennsylvania Canal is
closed for the season, the boatmen are dis
cussing what is TO be done for next season.
The company have not built any new boats
for several years, but have been constantly
repairing the old ones, until there is scarce
ly anything remaining to work upon, Eth
er the company must reduce the number
of boats or build new ones. If they con-
cluoe TO replenish their stock there will be
a good deal of work for our boat yards
Espy would certainly be grateful to learn
that new boats are to be built This town
has suffered much for the last few years,
because so few boats have been built.

for murder in the first degree, and would
not give way. The verdict was at last
reached as above. The penalty for such
offence is fine of 81, 900, separate and SOL
itary confinement at labor, or simple i'm
prisonment, for a period not exceeding

PHILADELPHIA, December 81, 1885
Open nights till ten O'Clock,
till Christmas.

1t is no light task to make
provision for those who come
from now till Christmas when
ever there isn't an actual all-day
down-pour of rain, Mere room
is much, to say nothing of bust
ness. The strain Of these ten
days is necessarily great. 1t is
fair to ask your cooperation in
the public interest as well as our
own.
You are welcome to see the
spectacle, store and goods and
people. Buyer or not, you are
welcome all the same. The
sight is but once a year and one
in the world. Your seeing it
self is part of the spectacle.
But, if you please, submit to be
crowded, keep your patience,
and make the crowd endurable
by these slight deprivations
Keep to the right wherever
you are.
Do not stop in any aisle.
Get off the main passages. A
passage is quickly blocked.
Avoid the excessively crowd
ed places by going around them,
unless you wish to go there.
They are the handkerchief
quarter gloves laces; books;
the little circle around the cen
ire, middle of middle aisle the
gift-quarter, northwest from the
centre the central stairway
down to the basement and up
from the basement the whole
toy-quarter, northeast corner of
basement Christmas cards,
across the aisle from the restaur-
ant the restaurant confection-
cry cars of course. Apart
from these and possibly other
quarters and passages the store
is not SO very full. The best
lookouts over the store are from
the second floor on the Market
street front (rugs and carpets),
on the west front (furniture),
and along the east and west
transepts furniture, upholstery
Come in the hours when the
store is clearest. They are
before ten in the morning ; from
one to three in the afternoon !;
and from six, to eight in the
evening. There are those who
will thank us for these sugges-
tiOns.
But come whenever you will.
The store is open for pleasure
as well as for business. We
are satisfied to contribute our
share to the Christmas Show
and take our share in your all
the-year round remembrance
not of the Christmas Show-of
the place you and we together
have partly built, where we buy
and sell with SO clear an under
standing, with SO much good
will and with mutual satisfaction
and profit.
Come whenever you will.
The store is open from top to
bottom. There are guides for
strangers who want them. There
are no strangers here. You are
welcome visitors.
No matter if the invitation
reaches some Of you after the
Fair. You knew it was going
on; we're there to see very like
ly at any rate you knew the
welcome beforehand. 1t is
worth the printing nevertheless
to send it.
Remember next Christmas,
and all the year between.
