NEW HAMPSHIRE has been sneered
at so long as the State Of abandoned
farms that in self-defense she has
just made showing as to her saw
ings bank deposits. From this show
ing it appears that the Granite State
is the foremost in the Union in the
matter OF accumulated savings.
The impression will now go abroad
that it is not improbable to abandon
farming if there is good chance to
go into the summer-resort business.

REV. DIR. HOLMAN, Of Minneapolis,
told a new one at the big Lyceum
meeting. 1t was the remark Of a
brother minister of the outspoken
sort, somewhere in the East, who
said of man that his soul was so
small that l0,0OO,O0 of them could
be blown through quill from the
wing of mosquito into the eye OF a
fly without fcazing the fly an iota.
This is getting things down very fine.

The School Grounds.

Every school officer, every parent,
and every child should feel a peculiar
interest in beautifying and preserving
the school grounds and the school build
ings.
The teacher is the natural leader In
this as in all other educational work in
the community. He consults, plans and
directs. He enlists pupils, patrons and
parents. He studies the plans Of his
predecessors, modifes and perfects
them. Here is one of the innumerable
arguments in favor of retaining the
same teacher for many years.
Each child is protector as well as a
constructor. The work, for the most
part, will be done by the pupils. Each
one should be trained to plant and pro-
tect every shrub and flower. Thus our
American youth can be educated to re-
spect public property and public grounds.
The vandalism that begins with cutting
and marring the school shrubbery will
disappear.
Glad memory. The Joy OF childhood
gladdens all the after life. 1t is JOY
to children to decorate, and preserve,
and enjoy beautiful school grounds.
Millions will recall those days as the
one green, glowing oasis in long life.

Some Mistakes.

1t Is q mistake to talk too loud in the
school-room. A quiet voice is more eff
fective in governing.
1t is u mistake to talk too much about
order. It Is disorder in the teacher that
generates disorder among the pupils.
1t is mistake to give more than one
direction at a time. 1t confuses the
pupil and results in omissions OF duty.
1t Is mistake to make too many sig
nails to begin or stop work. Tell clearly
what is to be done. Some teachers use
the word work, and the directions are
instantly followed.
1t is a mistake to be out of sorts with
the whole school because one pupil has
caused the teacher displeasure.
1t is a mistake to have favorite, and
equally so TO nag one pupil continually.

Arc Language Lessons a Failure ?

j. w. Stearns, Professor OF the Science
and Art OF Teaching in the Wisconsin
University. condemns them in the fol-
lowing vigorous editorial:
The serious weakness resulting from
the trivial language lessons in the
schools begins 10 be painfully apparent
Teachers do not know what is correct
usage in English. They cannot use the
pronouns correctly, or the irregular
verbs, OF escape gross errors I'm construc-
ton, and this because they have no
critical instrument by which to test and
Judge Of expressions. This is the legiti-
mato result of the foolish crusade
against technical grammar. We must
cease to listen to cranks and restore
grammar to its proper place in the
schools, IL we do not wish to be tried
and mortified constantly by gross errors
OF speech on the part of both teachers
and pupils. Technical grammar is u
critical instrument to aid one in deter
mining what is correct in expression
and in interpreting the language of
others. 1t is further OF great value as
a drill in analytical thinking. Grammar
vigorous, critical, practical grammati-
cal works greatly needed, to give the
pupil the most useful canons of gram
NAUTICAL criticism by which to guide and
steady his own use, together with a
complete grasp of the general elements
OF "a sentence, so that he can quickly
detect important structural relation,
and use them in determining the sense
OF passage. OF this kind of gram
NAUTICAL work there is great need in our
schools.
