A Museum of Arr.

A large jewelry establishment, such as
Bailey, Banks & Biddle's, Chestnut and
18th Streets, Philadelphia, is perfect
museum of art. 1t Is rare one, too.
Some Of the finest artists and sculptors
who have lived gave their best efforts TO
the designing Of jewelry. 1t remained,
however, for the present generation to dis
cover that complete jewelry store should
have gems of household as well as articles
OF personal ornamentation. This idea
seems to be the one that has prompted
this firm to have in stock masterpieces of
European potteries, exquisite bits of
sculpture In marble aid bronze, in addi-
ton to beautiful examples of the gold and
silversmith's art.

MORNING EXERCISES
One plan for morning exercises. Teach
ers often ask: What shall do to make the
morning exercises interesting? / have par
TALLY solved the problem, and will give the
solution and results for the benefit of others
similarly placed.
AS only few of my pupils sing, singing
became monotonous, as also did reading by
the teacher l resolved to have each pupil
aid in the exercises. So, at the beginning
of the week L stated my plans to the school,
and assigned the work for the following
week, asking one pupil to prepare recita-
ton for one morning; another to write upon
given subject for the next morning; third
to read some choice selections, etc., and
thus far have had splendid results.
This may be varied by having quotations,
historical or otherwise; occasional singing,
and enthusiastically giving the exercises
ourselves. When the smallest are to assist,
two or three may speak the same morning.
By this method, in school of thirty pupils,
each one would not be required to give aid
more than once in five or six weeks. Hence,
few would object.
A few of the advantages are these: inter-
est is awakened as each pupil feels that he
has something to do; it tends to prevent
tardiness; it provides for rhetorical exercises
very inconspicuously; and advanced pupils
enter into the work of essay writing will
ingly, and almost unconsciOusly if the sub
jects are judiciOusly assigned.
If at first you do not meet with perfect
success, do not be discouraged, but gently
and kindly insist that each shall aid you
and l think much good may be done.
Any suggestions on the above will be
gratefully received by, l.. S.
