say. find that opinions vary
greatly, and l have not the bene.
fit Of experience to uphold me in
any theory ! might advance. But
| am sure it il best to teach as
much as they can thoroughly com.
plehend and no more. Better
teach too little than too much at
this age, for it is certain death to
a child's development to cram his
head with something of which he
can have no conception.
Sixth:-The child should he able
to read notes and sing simple
music. This feature of our education
has been sadly neglected. Moth.
ing is more enrolling. It relieves
the mind of the child from what it
looks upon as labor, and institutes
play. If we succeed in getting
the kindergarten play.spirit into
the work of the children only in
our little songs and marches, let
lis do that. A child will accom-
pllsh anything when his heart is
enlisted, aud the little songs are
always interesting to them.
The most urgent need of the
present time, is not teachers
equipped with the latest devices of
metholology only, but teachers of
OF sweet and sympathetic natures,

the children" in their "world of
