The study of music in public schools
has been receiving special attention from
the bureau of education at Washington
which has sent out very interesting cir
cular of information relative to the sub.
ject. The several brief papers included
educators and all promoters of education
The place and Importance of music is
clearly defined and its value as a part of
our free common school instruction is
strongly urged on the various grounds
of health, happiness and morals. The
prominence given to musical culture in
European countries is cited and the
saying of Luther with reference to the
effects of music are made to give point to
the necessity of proper instruction in
this fine art. emusic is discipline, a
mistress of order and good Manners
The first business of the school teacher
is to teach. To teach both by precept
and example. AS the teacher is, so will
the effect be more or less upon the pupil.

enlarged by wider studies and the fire.
quent advice of an experienced supervis-
or and iby association with other teach
ers. The practical work of teaching be-
gins with giving out the lessons. Many
teachers fail at the start. The lesson
must be adapted to the pupil and he may
need most of all to be taught how to
learn it. 1t is a great point to set the
learner ON the right track and to help
him, so that he may best help himself
and yet not do the work for him. Teach
ing should prevent mistakes, as we'll as
correct them.
The care of the eyes of school children
is matter of serious Importance and
should be understood by both parents
and teachers, in particular. 1t is stated
by DIR d. F. Lincoln of Boston, in prize

observed that near sight may be Inherit
ed, but it is we'll known that school life
has much to do in producing various af-
fections of the eyes. Among the causes
given are these: "Study while the sys-

study while the eye or brain is fatigued

The Giver and the Gift.

"Give while you live" the wise man said.
''Live in your gift bestowed.
Give of thine own, with thine own hand;
Administer thy will"
"Make friends of Mammon while yOu ma
Transmute in deeds thy gold;
Rejoice, now, in the good to come;
To Heav'n thy treasure loan"
"Bide not the loss of pleasure pure,
To wait on death thy dole
OF what no longer is thine own,
To have and use and hold"
"Beware the laws delay, ana end
The fitful grasp OF those
Who may not know thy heart nor mind,
Nor have the gift of use."
"And let it not in truth be said:
He nobly wrought and won;
But failed to give, at last, the tonch
OF glory to his lite"
ssHis fortune fell from his firm hand
Despoiled and shorn of power;
Hapless, in death he laid him down,
His browning work undone."
To have and not to use for good
Is but withholding due;
Wealth won is but the means of power.
Which wisdom must apply.
The end OF means is higher use
Endowing nobler aims,
Ideals grand, examples pure
And monuments of growth.
The voice OF praise Is sweet to him
Who, worthy, wins his need:
And happy, most, is he who does
The good he wills his kind.
Not what we get,b but what we give;
So shall the record stand,
The symbol of a life well spent,
It's own memorial.
Not what we keep,bu what we spend,
Invested for the King,
Will buy us futures tor ourselves
To carry on beyond.-EO. o. Wright.

Cora E. Peck.

Cora +. Peck, second daughter of Mr.
and Mrs David G. Peck, led at her home
on Friday, October ., in the 10th year of
her age. For few years past, sshe had
been in gradually failing health. Conse-
quently, she had mingled little among
those outside of the circle of her own
family and immediate friends. Before
her health was impaired, she was strong,
healthy child, quick to learn and inter-
ested in her studies. But i'll health mar
rowed her life to association with II few
and, as a result, many of her own age
did not know her we'll. TO those, how
ever, with whom she was acquainted, she
always appeared in II cheerful mood. She
always did her duty in that station in life
to which it had pleased God to call her,
without II murmur or complaint. Her
life reminds one of the shortness and I'M
certainty of human life. "He cometh up
and is cut down like a flower" AS many
a flower buds and blossoms in the per-
lection of beauty, yet unseen by human
eye and unknown to the great world, so
this young life, in gulelessness and in
nocence, has blossomed in quietness and
seclusion, known but to few, yet, best
of ALL best known by God above. Her
last Illness of Il few weeks she endured
in calm resignation and gentle submits
sion TO the will of God. She was patient,
even cheerful, at the prospect of the full
Ter life opening out to her. She talked
freely Of her approaching death-it SEEM
ed sweet to her and she felt it would be
a release and rest. Like the great apos-
tie st. Paul in the strength of his man
hood, she, in the innocence of childhood,
was willing, yes more than that, was
ready ito depart and be with Christi"
which was far better. And though we
cannot say that 'in her right hand was
length of days." yet, certainly, Sin her
left hand are both true riches and honor"
Cora died on Friday, 9th, at a m.
Bravely they fought to conquer the fatal
disease. Everything that love could sug-
gest or money obtain was all in vain.
She gradually faded; like Il rare and
fragrant blossom growing more sweet as
the earthly tabernacle dissolved, until at
last the pure spirit took its flight. The

clay was laid, with bitter tears and heart
ache, to sleep till the morning of the res
direction. Tears and heartache, not for
her who had put on Immortality, but the
path of life looked so long and dreary
without her companionship. But Heav-
en- is nearer and Christ is dearer than be-
fore to these stricken hearts and, some
where at the beautiful gate, she is wait
ing and watching for them.
