The little ones of our cities. rich and
poor, should be taught to respect the mem
ory of Elizabeth Peabody since she, through
all her long life of nearly ninety years, was
the lover and benefaotor of children.
It was she who introduced Froedel's
kindergarten methods into this country,
and who sought with tho utmost esrnest-
ness to extend the knowledge aud influence
of his teachings.
Boston has regarded her almost as one
of its "institutions;" she has certainly
been remarkably usefnl and impressive
personality. Her views were broad, her
enthusiasm intense and her services In all
educational and reformstory work almost
beyond calculation, since there has never
been worthy cause, from early girlhood
up to these last few quiet years when age
forbade active labor, that did not rscsive
her countenance and support.
In her youth she taught private school
in her own home, afterWard becoming Q
teacher of History, always her favorite
study, in that famous school kept by Amos
Bronson Alcott. The teacher whom she
succeeded was the gifted and eccentric
Margaret Fuller. Miss Peabody became
one Of the famous literary coterie to which
Emerson and Alcott, Thorean and Theo.
doYs Parker belonged. Ono of her sisters
married Nathaniel Hawthorne, another Hor.
ace Mann. The literary atmosphere wat
all about her, and she expanded and grew
strong in IL. Later, she published sni
imported books, she also kept library o
foreign books and her store was the meet
ing place of eminent literary people O
that day. She wrote much, and interested
herself in everything that tended to prog
ress all the world over, but lived detaohet
from ordinary worldly conditions, sino
fashion and show and conventionalitie
were "a nothing and less than nothing
her. Plain living, high thinking and har

Educators all know that little learning
is dangerous thing, and 60 they are ever
on the alert to lead those whom they teach
out of danger. Some time sgo at q meet
ing of the National Educational association
. committee of distinguished educators was
appointed to report upon Secondary
School Studies" The committee organ
lied nine conferences and the conferences
have made their reports. They find that
there are no secondary school studies, 30 to
speak, but that all are first in value and
importance. The Latin and the Greek
conferences recommended that the study
of those languages should be begun at q
much earlier age than has heretofore been
judged advisable, and that pupils should
be taught to read them at sight. The Eng
lish conference thought that much more
attention should bs given to this study
and that the best results could be secured
only by the simultaneous study of some
other language, preferably Latin or Ger
man, because of their ipfsctionsl sys-
tenn. The conference on "modern
In German or French to be open to chill
dren when ten years of age. The mathe.
maticians were unanimously in favor of ''a
radical change in the teaching of arithms-
tio." They mapped out a course of, study,
to be begun at six and continued to thir-
teen and recommended q course of instruc-
ton in concrete geometry for the grammar
schools to be given in connection with
drawing lessons. The natural history and
the geography conferences each agreed that
instruction in those subjects ehould begin
in the primary schools, and that in the
earlier lessons no text books should be
used. The latter included, under
the title geography, not only a de-
scription of the surface of the earth
but also elementary studies Of botany
zoology, astronomy and meteorology, ani
of matters pertaining to commerce, gov
eminent and ethnolegy. The conference
on history, civil government and kindred
subjects thought that much more tim
should ts given to these studies; that tn
study OF history should be united to tha
of the English language, and that historl
cal books should be used for school read
ers.
Good and practical ideas, diatinguishe
, educators. Now let rs have one confer
ence to show how to make children tbs
could go succsssfully and pzoatabl
