EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

Girsrd College has over two thousand stu
dents and an annual income from the en-
dowment fund of nearly 81, 100000.
No school secures the hest training whose
corps of teachers does not include a due
proportion of both men and women.-Sapt.
G. A. Little6eld, Newport.
The attendance on the public schools of
England is shown by recent report TO have
risen within few years from 100000 to
5000 COO. AS result juvenile crime has
considerably diminished.
The aim OF education should be to teach
Us rather how to think than what to think;
rather to improve our minds so IS to make
Us think for ourselves, than to load the
memory with the thoughts of other meR,
The Hampton school at Hampton, Va,
has 675 students enrolled this year, of whom
54S are negroes and l27 Indians. With $50
little colored children in the Butler Primary
day school, there are over 1000 pupils re-
ceivine excellent instruction on Its spacious
gTounns.
The teacher who would be successful must
win the confidence of his scholars and be in
sympathy with Them be must know their
nature, their surroundings. and their needs.
In no way can he peter do so than by visit
ing them at their homes. He thereby shows
his interest in them and wins their love-

In order to be successful teachers OF boys
it is necessary to be their friend. 1t is nee
etssry not only to take an interest in seeing
that their lessons are properly recited, but to
be sure also that they understand what they
are doing, and take an interest In it; make
them feel that it is their business now, and
that their future success In business depends
on their doing their work we'll in the present.
Boys like friend-not an oyerseer. -Prac-
tical teacher.
a little boy in one of the public schools of
this city dropped dead few days ago while
recitiDg bis lesson. His death was attributed
to overTork, and here the matter will proba-
bly, rest: but the question has been raised
whether it was overWork or confinement.
Miss Whiting, whose experience OF over fifty
years teacher in the public schools emit
ties her opinion on such matters to the ut
most respect, SAYS that children are never
confinement for long hours in the school
room. The settlement OF this question
should be an object of public concern. In
teaching children shere other things to
be considered besides intellectual advance
ment, yet there are many capable teachers
who do not seem to appreciate the fact
New York Tribune.
Education is well. Draw out of soul all
you can. There are some inspired teach era
who can draw out of the blossom sweetness
and light. Not one in thousand OF teach
eIs Is inspired. These other 999 can not draw
anything out of any soul. Let it content
them to furnish food whereby the soul may
grow; that is, by beC oming instructed. Such
uninspired tescbers may, in their nap haz-
sTd, or dull, plodding way, assist some raw
enoUs soul in fiodiDg his path TO the tree of
life, although they themselves have never
tasted one of its leaves.-Ohio Ed. Monthly.

bOn-boDs would delight you.
There Is a certain kind of water foul in

8 promine OF white stripe en- lis wings, and
It's Webbed feet are of brilliant red. When
sitting IL rO8s on the edge of gresnish rock,
these little red feet are very conspicu rus
Sometimes when the men have killed a
number of dovekies, the Eskimo women cut
OF the blight red feet, draw out the bones,
and, b,oWlOg into the skins, disiend them as
far as possible so as TO sorm pouches. When
these poI cbss are thoroughly dried they are
filled with reindeer tsuow, and the bright

What We Can the Baby.


What 90 we call the baby3
we'll sometimes when in glee
The laughing, boisterous darling
Comes stuTdily in TO me
With gust of shouting and kisses
From red lips merry and arch,
And riOtous breezy buster
Why then we call him march,
But when IN the midst OF a frolic,
AT the mood Of some passing whim,
The dear mouth trembles and QulTers,
The brave brown eyes grow dim,
And sudden rain OF passion
Sweeps over the sunny face,
We call the baby April.
For his petulant, wttching grace.
Then az he wakes, ana rises,
Flushed from slumber deep,
The swift. breath balmy ana precious
With the sweet crushed rose of sleep,
When the glow and the bloom of morning
Meet in bis glance at play
Like the dawn of an 1nfiuite promise,
We call the baby-Mayl
But when as the evening closes
He nestles in warm embrace,
The languOr of rest approaching
On the beautiful drOwsy face;
Because he is sweetest AMI rarest,
With all exquisite things in tune,
Because he is richest and faircst.
ne call tue baoy-June.
And il you should ask the household
Unoer what name they sing
The loudest praise of their darling,
Hating him chief aud king,
They'd laugh at the iOOlisl question,
And susBer with fire and hsme.
Thst what yer you called the baby,
They loved him just the samei
