The mother of John Ruskin was in
every sense a remarkable woman.
Her son, in summing up her charac-
ter, speaks of her as Having great
power with not a little pride" and
adds that she was entirely conscien.
tious, and acOnSummate ehousekeeper.'
The home rule Of Ruskin's mother
was well-nigh Puritanic in severity;
his toys were few, and his sources of
amusement limited. He says:
For toys, | had bunch of keys ia
play with as long as | was capable OF
pleasure in what glittered and jingled;
as | grew older l had a cart and
ball, and when | was 6 years old, two
boxes of well-cut wooden bricks.
With these modest, but | still
think entirely sufficient possessions,
and being always summarily whipped

tumbled on the stairs, I soon attained
serene and secure methods of life and
motion, and could pass my days con-
tentedly in tracing the squares and
comparing the colors of my carpet,
examining the knots in the wood OF
the floor, or counting the bricks in
the opposite houses.
There were also intervals of rap
turOuS excitement during the filling
Of the water-cart through its leatheTn
pipe from the dripping iron post at
the pavement edge, or the SILL more
admirable proceedings of the turn
cock, when r. turned and turned I'M
til fountain sprang up in the mid
die of the street.
But the carpet, and what patterns
| could find in bed-cOveTS, dresses, OF
wallpapers were my chief resources.

one instant, then went straight up to

WHY They IaiI.

Strange as il may seem, there can he
too much intellectually in the school
room. Many a teacher of fine mental
endowments has failed in her chosen
labor, because unable to get down to
the crude untutored minds of her little
o-es. Children do not take kindly to
the abstract, and any knowledge or op-
Grafton above their comprehension is an
abstraction to them. DIR. Root, in his
Story of a Musical Life" tells of a
criticism some OF his friends made con
cerning his compositions. They were
too simple: his talents were capable Of
higher flights. So he says, AT last |
thought / would publish a song or two
above the grade Of the Peoples Song"
This ne did; and when the ~old question"
Eas put to him, Why don't you do
something better?" he answered, Have
you ever seen or heard Gently, All,
Gently or Pictures of Memory
To which" he says, they would have
TO answer, No. and l would say. That
is why do not write something better,
as you call it.. And he adds, that he
should be wasting his time in supplying
the wants Of n few people when he had
the multitude to feed" 1t is just as
true in the school-room, that the teacher
who would succeed must adapt herself
to the intellectual capacity of her chill
dren. 1t Is the height of folly to shoot
above their heads or to criticise and
scold them because they are not men,
tally acute or perfect in their manpers,

The teacher is sometimes SO anxious
FOR quiet school that he etherizes the
intellect in order to paralyZe the mus
cles, to the end that quiet may reign.
He forgets that good order is only a
means to an end; that it is in no sense
an end; that it is at the best an unfurtu-
nate necessity, an unnatural condition
that keeps coltish children physically
Inactive for five hours a day. The end
Is mental feeding and intellectual exer-
cising for growth and development in
this direction, and experience teaches
that the greatest amount of the best re-
suits are economically attained 10y feed
Ing and exercising several minds at
once; and such is the freakishncss Of
children in the mass that they can
only be treated skiilfully when they
are in such physical suhiection as to
be loyal to the commands of a superior
Whoever has the tact to secure the high
est intellectual activity of the right kind,
without giving special attention TO the
stiffness of the school, has attained
high art in school management. The
Old-fashiOncd committeeman, who went
the rounds of the school once term to
see how the children sat, and wrote a
report once a year to tell the taxpayers
that Miss Il of district No. did not
keep as good order as Miss A of No. |,
whose children did not move a foot,
slate, or book with the slightest noise,
has found his occupation gone. Good
order is now estimated by good work,
not by stiffness; by intellectual activity
rather than by physical inactivity; by
life rather than death

That Hard school"

Miss Grey was asked to take the
school, but they told her that il had
driven out four teachers in succession.
She was not large, not muscular, just an
ordinary looking little woman with ex-
traordnary will power. She was advised
TO whip those peSky boys the first
chance" she got. Everybody was ready
with advice. 1t was really kind of them
she thought, and she told them So They
talked, and she listened. They went
away just little bit perplexed. They
had told her what TN should do, but
she had not told them ~hhat she would
do. ltpiques us to be treated courteously,
not contidentially, by people to whom
we condescend to give advice She
looked like a person who would be glad
Of advice, but when you grew better
acquainted with her she really had a
provoking, thoughtful, strange way of
weighing your words and looking very
much as if she were weighing YOU, too.
Well, school began. The epupils looked
for such a teacher as they were used to;
instead they found Miss Grey. She
rang the bell, read the Bible, and ordered
them all about in n maSteTful way,
which was quiet way-a determined
way-a watchful way-a thorough way
She specified how she wanted the pupils
to sit and insisted on their sitting Just
that way; and withal she was so lady
like and polite to them that they Just let
her have her way. Day after day.
steadily, the school grew into order.
and outside of school the pupils had no
nicknasnes for Miss Grey. She was
simply Miss Grey. The school had
found its mistress

The broad white curve of the beach,
That lies like a bended arm;
The amorous waves that seem ever areach
To kiss IL and die a-calm.
And still the hOvering sky,
And still the splendid day,
And the far white sails, Fnd the seagull's cry,
And the sun-path over the bay.
How many and many a time
Have questioned the stranded shells,
III they knew. peTchsnce, of the magical cline
Where the answer OF dreaming shells.
And barking the waters kiss,
Content have dreamed alone,
In the glorious thrall Ok day like this.
And wistful want unknown.
There speed the out bound ships,
Here lyeth the sunshine warm,
With the spent waves pressing eir cus1 nG
On the white shores bended arm
Then for what is the day mora fair?
Why bluer the depths OF spaceG
Oh the sun on the gold OF a woman's hair-

An interesting discovery has re

what has been generally known as

Not long ago it was quite accident
ally discovered that the walls were
covered with cloth, and on the re-

to light, dating from the beginning

and physical conditions promote the
comfort of body and mind. Early in
the eighteenth century Bulwer wrote:
Wherever you see flower in a cottage
garden, or a bird-cage at the cottage
easement, you may feel sure that the
inmates are better and wiser than their
ncighborS." The observation has lost
none Of its force. Our environments
sinGularly shape and control, within
certain limits, our thoughts and feel
ings, and not unfrequrntly our purposes
and actions. We despise shabby and
neglected surroundings, be they walls,
fours, furniture or premises, and storm
and rush through them without feel
ing one Impulse of restraint or
respect. Their language is in a
strange tongue, and CRATES upon
the nerves of sense. They seem to
have nothing in common with the cur
rent of living events, but to belong TO
things that are useless and have lost
their affinity with life. But We have
keen sense of the cheerful. At once we
are in touch with the noblest impulses
of nature when brought in contact with
conditions that appeal TO taste and re-
finement. Childhood moves along the
same plane. Give the children plenty
to enjoy through the senses. Let them
freely commune with objects in their
surroundings that are suggestive of
beauty and neatneSs. Encourage them
TO take an interest in flowers, plants,
pictures and care of property. Have
plants on every window, neat pictures
on the walls, scruPulously clean furni-
ture and floors, plenty of sweet, cheer
ful air and light, cozy tone permeat-
ing every movement of the school
Seek to make the children happy. Mul-
tiply your efforts to endear school-life
TO them. Believe that you have not
discharged your whole duty until you
have done this. What tea. har will
stand up and say, -ImpossibIe!"-
