Common Schools.

From an address by a. s. Draper, N. Y. I,
Above all else, cover the common English
branches well. Do 1t slowly. Drill your
work in deeply. DO not undertake too
much at time. Do not require children to
remember isolated facts to any great extent.
Make them think, Give them the satisfac-
ton of finding out things for themselves.
Make each step secure under their feet be-
fore permitting them to take the next. Be
content to wait for results. While training
the brain for brainwork, train also the hand
and the eye for their work. AS pupils gain
confidence and can spend the time, lead
them through the fields where they can
gather useful knowledge, such as will the
better fit them for the relations and duties
and responsibilities ofJife; not life with
out disappointments, not life in France or
Germany, not a life I'm Rome two thousand
Years ago, nor In the moon now, but man
ly and womanly life in the republic of the
United States during the next fifty years.
While all this is going on, and incidentally TO
il, care for the health, nourish morals, arouse
patriotism. exert every influence to turn out
self-reliant, self-respecting men and women,
and the school will be doing what they may
properly do, and they will be meeting the
responsibilities which legitimately fall upon
them.

What studies should be taught in dis
trict school? Just as each annual revolution
of the earth brings us nearer the millennium
in the science of teaching, so it brings up
this perplexing problem, what studies should
be taught in a district school? The work
of district school teacher should be to
guide the pupils into the right methods of
thinking and acting and to instruct them
for a practical and useful life after the
school days are passed. If you will only do
your duty, you may aid them to become
noble and wise citizens of this grand Re
public. The course of study for district
school may be separated into two divisions:
the primary, or the course that should be
adapted to pupils who can attend only the
district school, and embracing the following
studies: reading, writing, arithmetic, gram
mar history, civil government and geo.
graphy. l would follow the order given
here as closely as possible. Some may ask,
why is geography placed last9 1 believe in
teaching the elements of geography to the
primary pupils; but i'm these days when SO
many families have an atlas in the house,
think that almost every person of an in
quiring mind will become familiar with the
geography of the country wherein any i'm
portant event happens, i'm very short per-
iod of time, Those who are able and can
attend some higher school, it is oftentimes
of great use to them to understand the ele-
ments of algebra, and to have some ideas
of the principles of bookkeeping. In re-
gard to physiology, as it is requiredin every
school, believe the best plan is to give oral
lessons to the whole school by means of
charts and drawings. Should there have
been text book adopted, let those who have
them read and give the definitions for the
whole school. DERF.
