Tho shetland Knittcra.

The sphere of women in the Shetland
islands Is we'll defined. The wee lass"
is early taught to ''hae somethin' in
her hand" Her hands must be kept
busy, and this is done by teaching her
the art of knitting, which will more
than likely serve as her occupation
from the cradle to the grave. The
most important work done by these
women consists in the knitting Of the
fine shawls which take their name
from the islands. These shawls are
the principal articles knitted, but wells,
different kinds Of underwear, os well
as fancy articles, are all made, and
when dressed" as the cleaning pro-
cess Is called, are taken to the local
dry goods or general merchandise
store, when they, despite the law, are
simply bartered for anything the mer-
chant has for sale, money transac-
ton being Of the rarest occurrence.
Bellamy, or some others Of that school,
would do we'll to study the life of the
Shetland crofter or small farmer,
which, though simple, Is IN ideal one.
The little farm produces the necessa-
ries Of life; the women with their knit
ting procure the luxuries, and the men
with their fishing pay the rent and
manage ITO lay something by for q

The Music Room.

When It is possible, in arranging
your music room. always place the
piano with its back to the room, not
agaist the wall. as II is SO frequently
seen. II is the best arrangement both
from musical and from an artistic
standpoint. AS the plain uncovered
back of the piano is not usually beau
tiful, one sees in different houses vari-
Gus graceful designs for hiding it.
Sometimes it is q beautiful piece Of
painted tapestry, n musical subject be-
ing the most appropriate. 1t is hung
from the back by brass rod. Scarfs
of liberty satin or other beautiful
pieces Of rich and flexible silk are also
used. kept from slipping by two or
three handsome ornaments, such as a
pair of Florentine candelabra, q few
framed photographs or miniatures Of
musicians, or a bowl of flowers.
Against such background tea-table
Is very effective.-N. Y. Post.

NORMAL TRAINING NECESSARY.

There are some natural teachers
some who teach well without pro-
fessional training; but these. like
all geniuses, are not very plentiful.
Teaching, like every other profess
sion, has to be learned. Doubtless
many farmer might become a
good lawyer, in course of time, by
going Immediately into justice
court and beginning to practice law,
but who would wish to be victims
of his plumbers, i'm order that some
day he might become a passable
lawyer. The same, doubtless, would
be true in the practice of medicine,
and the same query would be very
pertinent. Because one knows
the taste of quinine is no argument
that he knows how to administer 1t.
The important thing is the diagno-
sis. 1t is only in the teaching of
little children that we freely
sacrifice the interests of those most
concerned, in order that young men
and women may undertake their
work without preparation.-West-
ern Educator.

OPINIONS.
BY z. STANLEY. STATE SUPERINTENDENT.

From the Western School Journal.
In the absence of any law making
II the duty of the teacher to assume
the responsibility of janitOr work
necessary for the comfort and good
order of the school house under
her charge, such work being neces-
essary and Indispensable, and fur
ther, since the provision for the
equipment of the school is clearly
the duty of the board, the inference
certainly must be that the care of
the school house properly belongs
to the district or school board, and
in no way can it be construed az a
part of the teachers duties, unless
the contract entered into by the
same shall so provide.
Question: Can a school district
i'm which a poor house is located be
compelled to educate the pauper
children of the county brought to
said poor house without compensa-
ton?
Answer: If any child who is an
inmate of the county poor house
was sent to the poor house from the
district in which it (the poor house,
is located, then said child must be
educated by the district. If, how
ever, the inmate is child from
some other district, the county must
pay the school district in which the
poor house is located a reasonable
tuition for the privilege of sending
the child to school.
Rulings relating to county uni
formity: l.. Upon the expiration of
five years from the date of the adop-
ton of uniformity of text books, as
provided by law, city of the first
or second class may, by vote of the
board of education, withdraw from
the union with county in said uni
formity. County uniformity is per-
petual, being once voted, unless a
majority of the districts shall vote
otherwise. 3. \ new text book
board may be elected at the expira'
ton of five years, who will have the
power to re-adopt the books already
in use, or select new books, as in
their judgment may seem best. 4.
An adoption of uniform text books
remains in force until new books
are adopted by beard duly elected
for said purpose, or until county
uniformity is abandoned by "a vote
of the majority of the districts in
the county.

girl who allows her mother to scrub
while she thrums the piano has been
badly taught somewhere. know
you will say, "How?' Do you ex-
pect the teacher to overcome the de-
fects of home and street training!
I expect the teachers sole motive
will be the formation of habits
which make up the character--con-
formable to Gods design in the
creation of the child; expect the
teacher to meet every defect, physi-
cal, mental, or moral, with that
training and teaching best adapted
to the overcoming of bad habits,
whether they had their origin in
heredity, home, state, or the street.
1.-THE whole child goes to
school," some one has said, and the
whole child must be educated.
The best immediate test of teach
ing is to be found in the home;
found in the desire to help parents
by work. Next to home, look at the
pupils in society--see the girls
walking and talking with young
men; see the young men with the
girls. Coarseness, simpering, silli-
ness, means bad education. Make
us responsible for all these things.
No, but you should so live and
teach that your pupils will shrink
from all forms of meanness; and il
you do so live and teach, your in
fluence must be felt as power
which develops direct, steady and
continuous growth toward better
thoughts and better acts.
