pestalozzrs Educational Method.

In outlining Pestalozzi's thought l note
the following points as perhaps hest ex
pressing bis method; Education must be
determined by the nature of that which is
educated. Man is law unto himself.
What he is dictates the mode in which he
shall be trained. Mans powers are not the
result of accident-they are his own inte-
rior, original possessions. They came with
him. Education, therefore, which does
not base itself upon a right understanding
of these integral human powers, and of the
nature which they express, is not educa-
tiOn-has no right to the name or the
claim. Pestalozzi, by stating this truth,
and by forcing it. as itwere into the orlds
consciousness, deserves lasting praise Here
is the first step toward a scientific treat
ment of education; it is not, in itself, such
treatment, does not even prove such treat
ment possible-it is the point of beginning,
the corrective, the safeguard. This truth
is fundamental in Pestalozzi's thought 1t
found expression in the " Evening Hours
OF a Hermit" and is repeated in every sub
sequent writing. Universal upbuilding
of the inner powers of human nature is the
universal aim ofculture.n Pestalozzi's sys-
tenn, therefore, when self-consistent, rests
upon his Interpretation of human nature.
Our reformer believed man to have three
IOIu Oelng- lie was DOuy, Nlbu ana con-
science. Il is vital part of Pestalogzi's
thought that mans welfare defends upon
good and truth-oheying heart Here is
place for the religious element, and we find
Pestalozzi speaking as follows Belief in
God is the source of peace peace is the
source of inward order; inward order the
source of undisturbed application of our
powers, and this order becomes, in turn,
the source of their growth and develop
ment to wisdom. Wisdom is the source of
all blessing We have thus far two essen
tial factors in Pestalozzi's thought: educa-
ton is determined by the nature of the ed
ucated-man is threefold, body, mind and
heart. Proceeding a step further we in
quire, What precisely is it that this three

universal law, is development. To-day we
theoretically recognize this law, and admit
its vital import in all educational endeav-
or; practically we too often ignore it, and

Suffice it to say that the sailors were all
invited to the feast, and that the dinner
prepared in sorrow was eaten in Joy. The
wild turkey. a young gobbler, but a giant
for his age, was stuffed with chestnuts.
There was a saddle of venison served on
pewter plates, made kissing hot. There
were quail there were pies of mince- meat
and of the golden pumpkin there was good
Madeira, and-crown Of the feast and sauce
for all meats-there were happy hearts, in
which love reigned supreme.
"Soon the mother asked to be pardoned
for leaving and drew her daughter to her

again there came into world a man child
the first Marsdon born in this old home in
the wilderness.
His mother wished to call it after her
father. He smiled and said: No Pris-
ella; it is too great a weight to carry
through life to be named Hezekiah.' Then
the family name was suggested; that was
deemed too long, and was shortened to
Wetheld, by which the boy was afterwards
baptized"

The PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT Of women.

Anyone who carefully notices the women
seen upon New York streets and places of
amusement will be struck by the large
number of robust girls and women of great
physical development This is to be attrib-
uted, we think, to more general knowledge
OF the laws OF health, to the improvement
in the quality and preparation Of food, and
tosanitary conditions, and to increased par
tcipation in outdoor sports. But these con-
diiOns do not prevail to the same extent
in the country as in the city, and a warning
against undue optimism has followed the
encouraging opinions of the Boston sur
geOn. In a recent commencement address
General Stewart L. Woodford has again
called attention to the unfavorable features
of the life of farmers wives, their isolation.
the imposition of an amount of work which
saps their vitality, their poor food, their
lack of change and recreation, and the ten
dency, which naturally follows, to brood
ing over religious and other subjects. The
result is discouraging large percentage Of
insanity among the women of rural neigh
borhoods. attempts to substitute farming
villages Tor scattered farm houses, to intro
duce social recreations, and like efforts,
have been made and suggested again and
again, but the fact remains that the woman
of the city is usually more healthful and
has more vitality than the woman of the
country. There is problem here still for
physicians and students of society. But it
is pleasant to be assured by competent ex-
perts that the charge that American women
are composed merely of skin and bone, and
nerves and brain is no longer justified.

Lines dedicated TO Rev. ]. Z. Wheeler, D. D..

reception given to him by the congregation OF
Westminster Presbyterian Church, on Deem
Der l, 1856
No sweeter sound can fall on human ears
No cheerier word can greet the coming guest
No phrase can sooner calm the strangers fears
No stronger term can friendships bond attest.
What grace Of blessing follows in the wake
OF homage paid to friends we love to meet
It " hlesseIh those that give and those that
take -
Rejecting baca the joy from those we greet,
But deeper sinks the warm word we engage
To welcome strangers coming from altar
Engrafted deep, it lives in meniry's page,
thing of joy which time nor change can
mar.
For this, tonight, we meet, in sweet accord
10 greet astranger-yet our pastor, friend
To draw him TO our hearts by act and word,
And mightier impulse to his labors lend.
Hard, at the best, the lot of all who toll
To bring mankind from out the erring way
But sweet to know, good seed sown in good soil
Shall spring and blossom in coming day
Not worldly ease these seek, but Joys that last.
In bringing Maynard sinners to the fold
Their trials here, like " bread on waters cast
VIII gam them Heaven, and all its joys I'M
told.
Yet, even here, those walking in the light
Thus thrown around them as they onward
fare,
Should try to make their pastors pathway
bright
And of their plenty give him bounteous share
Then let our hearts and hands go gladly out
To welcome here our teacher, guide and
friend;
We greet him not with banquet, reyel, rout,
But IN such way us lasting pleasures lend.
Then welcome once again let gladness cheer
This modest feast we give with pure delight
Let nothing ever mar the bright career
Our church and pastor start upon tonight.

MEMORIES OF THE PAST.

When twilighfs darksome shadows fall,
And earth is wrapt in gloom,
When the calm OF nature lies DER all
And hushed the song birds tune;
IT'S then l think of those by-gone days,
When from care were free
When the hopes of youth beamed bright with
joy,
And time passed pleasantly.
Again see the old homestead
Where the dear home circle met
Again hear my mothers voice,
go dear to memory yet
But The vision fades as l recall,
The years that's past since then
Those years that can return no more,
To me, all never again.
/ sigh in vain for those childhood days,
That have long since passed away,
They have faded like the autumn leaves,
That tell us of decay
But. though my way through life is dark
And filed with care and woe.

Nor the friends Of long ago.

dared look into her husbands face for fear
OF seeing there what would confirm her

And now the morrow was the day pro-

Thanksgiving Day dawned bright, but
it dawned upon a house of mourning. The
effort to prepare the usually so joyous feast
made the gloom seem deeper from the
memories it brought.
" 1t was almost on the stroke of noon
the dinner hour in those days-and hus-
band and wife, having, as was their custom,
carefully dressed for the occasion, came
into the living room, which was also the
one in which they ate.
They had been so long watching that,
although hope was well nigh dead, both
walked to the window from whence could
be seen the road by which the joy of their
hearts should have come-should have
come long weeks before.

moving spots could not be seen upon the

experience in the chase, had already dis
tinguished the horses and sledges, looked
for so long in vain.

than month.
