What Is Coed Order?

The teacher Is sometimes so anxious
for quiet school that he ethenizes the
intellect in order to paralyze the mus
cles, to the end that quiet may reign.
He f0rgets that good order is only a
means TO an end; that it is In no sense
an end; that 1t Is at the best an unfortu-
nate necessity, an unnatural condition
that keeps coltish children physically
inactive for five hours a day. The end
is mental feeding and intellectual exer-
cislng for growth and development in
this direction, and experience teaches
that the greatest amount of the best re-
suits are economically attained by feed
Ing and exercising several minds at
once; and such Is the freakishness of
children Ia the mass that they can
only be treated skillfully when they
are in such physical subsection 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-fashioned committeeman, who went
the rounds OF the school once term to
see how the children sat, and wrote
report once year to tell the taxpayers
that Miss 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.

upon these love-tokens were general

A Negroes stratagem.

The real "bofo' -de-wah negro wit Is
seldom seen now, but this incident will
show that he is not entirely gone. Sam.
a very lazy gardener, was bending over
q row of peas in rather shady corner
of the garden, and was well pleased at
his employer remaining indoors. But
when she came to give some orders,
inspect the growing plants and put Sam
to real work, he bethought himself of
an expedient to get rid of her. Smiling
the afr and looking around, he muttered:
"Sho's you bawn, dar's er snake bin
round here" Then, as she did not hear
him, he repeated his remark. Gather
ing her skirts, she beat hasty retreat,
and from a safe distance asked him how
he knew there was a snake around. "Oh.
/ smells 'emi / kin allus smell 'em
when cum where dey's bin" This
was enough for the lady, and she re-
treated to the house. Looking out from
the window of the house, she saw the
old negro holding his sides and laughing
heartily at his own shrewdness. His
plan worked, and he had an easy time

abstraction 10 them. DR.. Root. In his
STORY OF Musical Life" tells of a
criticism some OF his friends made con-
corning his compositions. They wore
too simple: his talents were capable OF
higher flights. So he says. AT last
thought l would publish a song or two
above the grade Of the Peoples Song"
This he did,. and when the -old question"
was put to him, why don't you do
something better2" 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 would say. That
Is why do not write something better,
as you call IL. And he adds, that he
should be wasting his time In supplying
the wants OF 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. II 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 manners.
The teacher who gains the love OF her
pupils, and so succeeds, Is one who
always feeds the many and not the few.

Ruskin's Toys.

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 little PRIDE" and
adds that she was entirely copscien-
tious, and aconsummate housekeeper. :"
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 to
play with as long as l was capable Of
pleasure In what glittered and jingled;
as grew older / had cart and a
ball, and when 1 was years old, two
boxes of well-cut wooden bricks.
With these modest, but L still
think entirely sufficient possessions,
and being always summarily whipped
If l cried. did not do as 1 was bid, or
tumbled on the stairs, 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 leathern
pipe from the dripping iron post at
the pavement edge, or the still more
admirable proceedings Of the turn
cock, when he turned and turned UNI
TIA a fountain spraug up in the mid
die of the street.
But the carpet, and what patterns
/ could find in bed-covers, dresses, OF
Wallpapers were my chief resources.
