HOW TO HELP PrPILs.

Perplexities in the schooI-work of
the child often arise from "a vague
ness or total ignorance" rs to the
exact point of difficulty. Lead your
pupil first to find and settle upon
the "precise point at which he
fails to understand +; and then, II the
does not disappear (as il
often willy "cautiousIy assist him
to apply already known principles,
and through his own mental efforts
to reach the proper conclusion.
Do not make the off-hand remark,
"Oh, that's easy enough :" If the
child is honestly ambitious. this
Will wound his pride. Do not take
the work from his hands and per-
form it yourself. This tends to
weaken his self-dependcnce and to
diminish his liking for the subject
under investigation.

WORTH CONSIDERING.

A careless teacher can undo In a
single month what il took another
n year to accomplish. In this way
there is much energy wasted. and
the question is worth considering
whether in schools il would not be
better to let each teacher keep the
same pupils several years and adj
vance with them, thus giving a good
teacher an opportunity TO show
what she can do and compelling the
poor teacher to improve her meth
ods, or, il utterly incompetent, to
demonstrate her failure and seek n
more congenial calling.-Educa-
tional.

PUScTUALITY.


Cultivate punctuality in every
thing. Begin and close schuol
promptly. Plan so as to accomplish
all you can in the short time you
have for each class. When you
think ol bow little you have accom-
plished in the short recitation time,
remember that the lesson Of pune
tuality is worth more than book
knowledge.
Punctdality keeps The circulation
of the school in a brisk, healthy
condition. II is the best of tonics.
Without 1t the school work becomes
clogged and the work drags. You
mark your pupils tardy when they
enter school after it has begun.

plot and a fine vein of humor running
through the piece. Among the
many features to be introduced, it
will be well to speak of the Russian
ponies. introduced by William
Stephens in a scene of classic group
ings. The various specialties by the
different members of the company
are highly spoken of, and the scenic
effects are all new and very realistic,
notably the great snow scene in the
Alps. with the avalanche and the
thrilling rescue by the dogs. Minnie
