ability 10 arouse pupils 10 mental action
Should a pupil leave a public school with
out taste Tor our standard authors
such will be the case unless pupils hav,
access 10 q good library encouraged by tn,
teacher. The mind must have something
10 do and without libraries cur young peo
pie will read trashy literature. A teache
IL not capable Of elcyatlng the minds O
pupils without having read and studies
our best literature. Libraries are an In
eentiye 10 observation. Mathematics
/ made hobby TO the neglect Of reading
Libraries can be established by yoiunta
nv contribution. General discussion b

others. Coed literature IL eheapend di,
fricts and scholars should be encourage
10 purchase. For the benefit OF teacher
present, the address Of John b ALDEN,
| Y. city, Harper x Brother. A boy tha
i voracious reader will succeed. Pres
Lincoln was given by Prof Adams as a
example. Many teachers made vHiunbl

Language b Leafherman, Of Woo.
burn schools, read a paper Of marked abb
ity. Commencing with early childhoc
he traced gradual development to pc
! lection. Technical grammar should |
J laid aside until considerable develop
: ment Of the pupils mind Is made. Chill,
rem should be taught TO write letters
! intimate friends, rather than 10 write Q
/. obstrusiye subjects. Miss Cooley though
! teachers should commence teaching laI
/, guage when children are very young. Nj
. Thrall said every lesson should be lai
guage lesson and thought 1t a waste
, time 10 have pupils print their lesson

! cess, and suggests dictation in scrip

ods were pointed out by Prof Walker

pathy with his pupils in order TO be i
hearty sympathy with his profession.
