GLADSTONE ON AMERICA.

He Advises Englishmen to study the His
tory of the American Revolution.
In his recent speech at the opening Of
a free library at Saltney, near Chester,
England, Mr.. Gladstone said:
my last recommendation to the stu
dent is one have been in the habit Of
making for the last fifty years, because
then adopted the sentiments upon
which it is founded, and now make it,
therefore, with greater confidence after
the lapse of fifty years. That recon-
mendation is to those who are able to
carry it out to study the history of the
American revolution. That is an extra
ordinary history. 1t is highly honora-
ton about, but also honorable in no
insignificant degree to this country, be-
cause it was by this country seeds of
freedom we're sown in America-becaus
it was by this country that the love of
freedom was sown in America. In
this country we have happily had
to a great extent-and / hope we
shall have it still more-what is
called local self-government; not mere
.ly one government at q central point
composed of parties and exerting .
vast power over their fellow-citizens,
but system under which the duties Of
government are distributed according to
the capacities of the different divisions
Of the country and the different classes

MARKING AND GRADING.

Some OF the Defects OF Modern Educa-
tionaI Methods.
At recent educational conference at
Providence, 4. l., Professor Ballet, of
Springfield, Mass, said that nobody
could do good teaching who undertakes
to mark each pupil during every recita-
ton. Imagine the attempt to do such .
thing in a chemical laboratory. How
would the teacher succeed who should
occupy three-quarters of the hour while
the boys were at work in putting down
marks by which he should attempt to do
justice to each one? Suppose that the
father of five children, say six, eight,
nine, ten and twelve years old, should
undertake the marking system in the
family. This man has bad cook in the
kitchen, who has by degrees saddled the
dyspepsia on the whole flock, so that no
one of them can relish his breakfast.
So when they gather around the
table some morning the father makes
little speech to them after this
fashion: Children, / have for some
little time observed an indisposi-
ton on your part to eat, which must
in some way be coInteracted because 1t
is absolutely necessary to eat in order to
sustain life. Now propose to inaugu-
rate the marking system on the scale of
100. To-day the boy who eats all of his
meals as he should eat them will receive
100 for each; the girl who swallows only
three-quarters of her breakfast will only
get rs, and If any child refuses to touch
his food, mark of zero will be scored
against his name. Then at the end Of
month shall draw of an average
from these marks" Don't you think
that it would be better plan for that
father to discharge his bad cook?
But how would the graded system, as
we often see it carried out, work in the
family? Suppose that this same father
should carefully estimate just how much
food, how many pounds of beefsteak and
loaves of bread the six-year-old boy
ought to eat between tho first Monday
in September and the last Friday in
June, and should set himself to work to
see the programme faithfully carried
out. OF course, if half the prescribed
amount is not consumed during the first
twenty weeks of the course, large pro-
portion must be made way with in the
second twenty, so that the boy can be
promoted into the next grade. But inn
agine this father taking longer look
ahead and making out bill of fare for
the boy from the time he is six, when he
is supposed to enter the primary school
till he is eighteen, when he is supposed
to leavc the high school, or suppose
when he is six he takes the boy to
tailor and orders suit of clothes that
shall fit him when he is fourteen. The
tailor does the best he can under the
and then the father takes
the boy home and begins to feed him
with the idea of making him grow to
the suit.-N. Y. Post.
