Editor Herald AS early as the year
1910, in the schools of the Jesuits, we
find, in order that learning might be
pleasant to the pupils it was necessary
that they should not be overtasked. 70
avoid this the master had to study the
character and capacity of each boy in his
class and to keep book with all parti
culars about him.
How many good teachers depend on
marks or percentages to determine the
advancement of pupils? Percentages sat
isfy parents and pupils, but good teachers
never. Then how are teachers to deter
mine the actual advancement OF pupils
save by giving individual attention? No
lens, volensl
The question OF promotion at irreg MAR
times is one not to be considered because
all teachers are glad to receive well pre-
pared pupils, and honest, unselfish teach
ers are willing to promote them. Where
percentages are not regarded this promo
tion becomes imperative.
The percentage system has been aban-
doned throughout the country and the
so-called individual method is the result.
The difficulty, as stated by the rank
and file of the teaching profession, is that
the classes are too large. The answer to
this is found in assuming that the same
percentage system.
The teacher who handles one poorly
will handle the other no better. Why?
Because she has insufficient teaching
power for either. All new or development
lessons reveal in review the fact that some
children have not grasped the thoughts
presented In review work individual
work becomes necessary and two groups
of pupils ale then formed, the second
group advances and gradually third
group is formed from slower pupils and
then the sowest form still another group.
The quickest pupils are advanced to an
other and higher grade as one group en-
ters from the lower grade. Teachers
should remember that their own power to
teach is represented by the number of
pupils they can advance.
Perhaps the fact that this process is
called method is misleading. 1t is not
new and in this very city teachers have
been working along on this same line and
their greatest encouragement rests in the
fact that pupils had to be held back until
the regular time for promotions their only
panacea resting in the fact that their
class average would be higher by this
process. But the conscientious teacher
has often sacrificed her per cents to ad-
vance the poor boy whose term of study
will necessarily be short.
Educational principles fall prone unl ess
the child is considered individually.
Educational principles do not deal with
the faculties of the mind collectively but
with each faculty of each child
How any teacher can apply educational
pInci pies without considering the indi-
vidual would appall Rosseau, who would
have one child to teacher, or Pestalozzi,

THE TENDRIL'S FAITH

ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
Under the snow in the dark and the cold
pale little tendril was humming;
Sweetly it sang meath the frozen mold
OF the beautiful days that were coming
"How foolish your songs" said lump OF clay;
"What is there, ask. to prove them?
yust look at these walls between you and the
day
How can you have power to remove them?'
But under the ice and under the snow
The pale little sprout kept singing,
81 cannot tell how. but know, know
know what the days are bringing"
"Birds and blossoms and buzzing bees,
Blue, blue skies above me;
Bloom on the meadow, and buds on the trees,
And the great, glad sun to love me-"
Then pebble spoke up: "You are quite alb
surd,"
1t said, with your songs insistence;
For never saw tree or bird,
So of course there are none in existence
But 81 know, know" the tendril cried
In beautiful, sweet unreason.
Till 10, from its prison gloriiied
II burst in the glad spring seasonl

JAMES G. CLARK

I'VE would call the attention of our readers
~ the following admirable poem from the pen
of the great poet of the new revolution, James
e. Clark OF California. Posterity will assign to
him a place in connection with our mighty
struggle, similar TO that which Whittier holds

The time has passed for idle rest
Columbia, from your slumbers rise
Replace the shield upon your breast,
And cast the veil from off your eyes
And view your torn and stricken fold
By prowling wolves made desolate-
Your honor sold for alien gold
By traitors in your halls Of state
Our mothers wiring their fettered hands;
Our sires fall fainting by the way;
The Lion robs them of their lands.
The Eagle guards them to betray;
Shall they who kill through craft and greed
Receive brand less black than Gains?
Shall paid .'procurers" of the deed
Still reyel in their Judas gains?
} daughter of the matchless Sire,
Whose valor made your name sublime,
Whose spirit, like living fire,
Lights up the battlements of Time
The worlds sad heart, with pleading moan,
Breaks at your feet-as breaks the main.
In ceaseless prayer from zone to zone
And shall 1t plead and break in vain?
Fling off that garb of golden lace
That knaves have spun to mask your form,
And let the lightning from your face
Clean out upon the gathering storm
Swept DER the ancient throne of kings,
And like the bolts of Sinai shook
The base OF old establl shed things
The promise of an age to be
Has touched with gold the noun ain mist,
Its white fleets plow the morning sea,
Its flag the morning star has kissed.
But still the martyred ones of yore,
Whom tyrants to the scaffold led
Transfgured now for evermore-
Gaze backward DER the ages dead,
And ask: GLOW long, Lord How long
Shall creeds conceal Thy human side.
And Christ the God be crowned in song
While Christ the man is crucifed
How long shall Mammon's tongue OF fraud
At Freedoms prophets wag i'll sport
While chartered murder stalks abroad,
Approved by senate, Church and CourtY"
The strife shall not forever last
'rwiXt cunning Wrong and passive Truth
The bljghting remon of the past,
Chained TO the beauteous form of Youth
The Truth shall RISE its bonds shall break.
Its day with cloudless glory burn.
The Right with Might from slumber wake,
And the dead Past to dust return.
The long night wanes the stars wax dim;
The Young Day looks through bars of blood
The air throbs with the breath of Him
Whose pulse was in the Red Sea food
And fianked by mountains, right and left,
The people stand-a doubling horde
Before them heave the tides uncleft,
Behind the m flashes PharOah's sword.
But 10! the living God controls,
And marks the bounds of slavery's night,
And speaks through all the dauntless sous
That live or perish for the right
His Face shall light the people still.
His hand shall cut the sea in twain,
And sky and wave and mountain thrill
10 Msriam's triumphant strain.

ing the criticism made by '.F'' in Satur-

of locating the Library building in Cen
tral Park and the vigorous kick re-
vicinity against the location of said
library will be found conspicuous by it's
absence, as the majority of the property
owners are in favor of the location for the
following reasons.
First. 1t is centrally located.
Second. 1t is accessible by street car
from all parts of the city.
Third. 1t will be a saving to the tax
payers, as the city owns the ground.
Fourth 1t will be an ornament to the

the national treasury. that to make
up the required contributions, and
rid the Prussian soil of French SOL
diers, families gave up articles of
value, and ladies parted with their
gold rings, substituting for them rings
of Berlin iron, which metal from this
time obtained an historic Importance
in that country. At fashionable en-
t~ertainments anyone wearing gold,
and proving themselves thereby I'M
patriotic, would have been given the
cold shoulder. 1t was like the dances
of Paris in 1875, to which no one was
admitted who was not wearing Grape
round the left arm, a proof that a
member of the family had sacrificed
himself for the country. OF necessity,
the Berlin iron was confined to the up
