Miss Baber and her class OF children
took the platform Yesterday morning and
begun by illustrating hills both by draw
ings on blackboard and with piles OF
sand on the table. The class paid no at
ten5ion to the spectators, and seemed to
call but very little upon their previous
knowledge of facts, but gave strict atten-
ton to the matter placed before them by
the teacher. BY question and illustration
she drew out very correct answers, ana
before the eyes of the company helped the
little ones to form very fair idea OF the
physical features of North America with
It's heights and depressions, heat aud
cola, land and water; and they pictured
1T on the board and modelled it in sand
The class was dismissed with warm ap-
pause.
Miss Cook and her primary class i'm
mediately took their places and began
the lesson by cutting pieces OF Irvine
which they guessed to be a foot long,
and measuring them to find out if they
were right. When the idea OF a foot was
well developed, they proceeded to a yard
of paper. Next they guessed the height
of a little boy, and gravely measured
him. The teacher then set that boy to
constructing strip Of paper Just as long
as himself while the class guessed and
measured a little girl. They proceeded
Ts,0t onf nd Hc n
square ones, and by easy and sure stages,
making every step perfectly clear, the
teacher and the class together developed
this problem: If six angle worms bring
up on one square foot of soil, one cubic
inch OF mud, how man worms will bring
up what quantity of mud? After obtain
ing correct answer, the teacher called
for report from the boy who had taken
the three soils home. He reported that
the gravel dried first, the sand second
and the loan last.
The class made the inference that since
moisture is necessary for the growth of
plants, this fact made loan the most
suitable for seeds.
After recess, DR.. Baldwin spoke again.
The art of forgetting, he said, is a very
important part of forgetting. Much that
we learn is scaffolding and rubbish, and
ii we would not forget it, we should soon
become burdened. We want to forget
anything which hurts and don't help.
Some think it a merit to nourish trouble,
but IL would be just as wise to hold coal
of fire in your hand because it hurts. A
lawyer prepares large amount of matter
for a particular case. and it is necessary
for that time, but when the occasion is
1 past 1t passes out of his mind.
When you have acquired a concept of
vertebrate, you may forget the steps by
which you gained it. Our insane asylums
give evidence of the injury to mind of
always harping on one string. How
shall we forget harmful things? Do not
be at home when they knock. Be engaged
with something else when they call.
The doctor spoke at considerable length
on the subject, and was interrupted SO
frequently by questions that the lecture
proceeded very slowly, but the many ex-
plantations called forth made what was
given very dear.
AT the close of the session the teachers
thronged around the reporters table to
! get The HERALD's complimentary copies
which are highly appreciated.
