PEDAGOGICAL APPLICATION
By simply watching what children i'm
itate and trying to find out why they do
so, we can gain a great insight into their
character, and thereby become capable
of meeting their requirements. Thsre Is
one thing to be very closely guarded
against. and this allowing the child to
know he is being watched, for this
knowledge makes him self-conscious, and
then his acts are of no value whatever.
Very few acts of the average child are
spontaneous on account of the atmos-
phere of solicitoude that surrounds him.
There is nothing so beautiful as the
sweet, happy Inconsistencies of little
child.
CONCLUSION.
Remember that 'chid's soul is wax
to receive, but marble to RETAIN" Do
we not lay too little stress upon and
think too little of what may make an
impression upon the beautiful white soul
of a small child? Our words and acts to
which we never give another thought
make daily impressions upon their lives.
The close observation necessary to
make an intelligent study of imitation is
sure to awaken a deep interest in the
child, which interest grows with each
observa ton. A tender and loving SYM
patty is awakened. We enter into the
beautiful innocent "child world" with
hushed footsteps and marvel not thai
the great Teacher took little child and
set him in the midst a nd bade us become
like him (the child, that we might enter
into His kingdom.

adds that the government has already
decided to withdraw the Greek troops
from Crete and to invoke the powers to
extricate it from its difficulty. The

ACCORDING to Northern newspapers

ACCORDING to Northern newspapers
General Grant was the greatest mill
tary hero the world has produced,
Alexander, Cesar, Frederick, Gus
tavus, Marlborough, Washington and
Napoleon being only stars in the gal
axy of which he was the sun. General
Grant did defeat General Lee, to be
sure, but he only did SO when the lat
ter's small army had been worn out
with defeating his many unsuccessful
predecessors, and when the country it
had defended for four years was I'M
able to supply it not only with arms
and ammunition, but even with meat
and bread, any longer; when fighting
against overwhelming numbers was
unavailing. and when it had tired OF
slaughtering the men he forced
against it without the slightest
regard for their safety, and with
the one idea of crushing it with
brute force utterly irrespective Of the
loss his own troops sustained. He
crossed the gullies in his road to vic
tory by filling them with the bodies Of
his own soldiers. There may have been
military genius in that, but experts in
military science don't think so.

evil. but strange times.
