the work should be kept up. No good
work will be done when the pupils are
merely trying to get through an irk-
some task. As long as the children
are wide awake and anxious to work
they will write naturally. They must
have freedom, be allowed to ask uues-
tons, and never be asked to write
about anything that is in any way be-
You'd their comprehension.
The reproduction of something that
has been read or told to them .orms an
excellent exercise in compost; 81
1T is a good plan to induce D. Ills who
live in q city to make thenr YES ac-
quainteG. with the various in iastrics
by personal observation, and write
what they have learned. Printing,
lithographing, glass making, the sig
nal service instruments, the smelling
works, the dairy business, sail-boats,
steamboats,, the dynamo, farming i'm
plements, book-binding, the telegraph
office, the locomotive, are all practical
subjects well adapted to the boys of a
city. / have seen good compositions
produced upon all of them, the result
of the personal observation of the
pupils.
Another method which generally
works well is to announce subject to
u class, and require them to obtain all
the information they can in regard to
it by certain time Caution them
against taking anything from books,
etc., Uerbatim, or making any state
ments they cannot fully understand.
At the appointed time call the class to-
gether, and ask for reports of what
. they have learned. Let these be verbal
or from rough notes. All the infor-
|. nation given that is valuable. should
be jotted down in notes by the pupils,
and whatever the teacher thinks
proper to add to the stock may be in
cluded. In reasonable time the pu-
pills should be required TO embody
what they have learned in compos-
ition written in proper form. This
last work may be done at home.
Now, a few suggestions in regard to
the Mechanical part. Have the pupils
write upon single sheets of paper,
using only one side. Allow no folding
and no ridiculously wide margins.
Require them to number their sheets,
and have no pnning together. Re.
guire the work to be neat and orderly.
Commercial note is good paper to
use, because it is of convenient size
for handling when the composition is
read, aud if possible, all compositions
should be read in class augusta

Nothing to Say.

Some thirty years ago there were
living in small town, near each 9TH
err, two wealthy farmers whom we will
call Williams and Hall, between whom
had grown up bitter feud. 1t hap
pened that these two men were sum-
moned as witnesses on the same side
of a lawsuit, the principal object of
their testimony being to impeach the
character for truth and veracity of an
other resident of the place. Mr.. Hall
was sworn first, and having testified
that Mr.. - was not to be believed,
and passed his cross-examination cred
itablv. was dismissed. Mr.. Williams
was then placed upon the stand, and
being duly sworn, speedily demol-
ished every rag of reputation Mr.. -
had left. Then the cross-eXamination
began:
5You say that Mr.. IS reputation
for truth and veracity is bad?"
..Yes, very bad; greatest liar ever
knew"
"WeT, now, Mr.. Williams, how does
his character in this respect compare
with Mr.. Hall's?"
| Mr.. Williams turned away, and with
outstretched hands, cried out, "Oh,
my dear sir, you've got me now
