ing of model flower the old method
says: go and find the nearest ap-
proach to it, Go and find me flow
err is the true method, and let us see
what it is
Every child, and every grown per-
son too, for that matter, is interested
in nature-study, for it is the natural
method of acquiring knowledge. The
only difficulty lies in the teaching. for
very few teachers have had any drill
of drawing out the observing and reas-
oning powers of the pupil wholly with
out the use of textbooks. The teach
er must first of all feel the living inter
est in natural objects which it is de-
sired the pupils shall acquire. If the
enthusiasm is not catching, better let
such teaching alone.
CAN this means that the teacher will
need helps. He will need to inform
himself before he attempts to inform
the pupil. 1t is not necessary that he
become scientist in order to do this
He simply goes as far as he knows, and
then says to the pupil that he cannot
answer the questions which he cannot.
This at once raises his estimation in
the mind of the pupil, for the pupil is
convinced of his truthfulness, and is
made to feel-but how seldom is the
sensation!-that knowledge is not the
peculiar property of the teacher but is
the right of any one who seeks it. 1t
sets the pupil investigating for him
self. The teacher never needs to
apologize for nature. He is teaching
simply because he is an older and more
experienced pupil than his pupil is.
This is just the spirit of the teacher
in the universities to-day. The best
teacher is the one whose pupils the
farthest outrun him.
Nov and then, take the children
for a ramble in the woods or fields, or
go to the brook or lake. Call their at
tention to the interesting things which
you meet-whether you yourself un-
derstand them or not-in order to
teach them to see and to find some
point of sympathy; for every one of
them will some day need the solace and
the rest which this nature-love can
give them. 1t is not the mere infor-
nation which is valuable; that may be
had by asking someone wiser than
they but the inquiring and sympathetic
spirit is ones own"
"The pupils will find their lessons
easier to acquire for this respite OF ten
minutes with leaf or an insect, and
the school-going will come to be less
perfunctory. If you must teach draw
ing, set the picture in a leaflet before
for study, and then substitute the OBJ
ject. If you must teach composition,
let the pupils write upon what they
have seen. After a time, give ten min
utes now and then to asking the chill
dren what they saw on their way to
school,"

The National Prohibition party last
Thursday named as it's candidates for
President and Vice-President, respect
lively, John G. Woolley of Illinois, and
Henry B. Metcalf of Rhode Island
This is a strong ticket, composed OF
men of ability and high character. The
Prohibition vote this year will prob
ably be larger than usual, and is not
unlikely to be larger than ever before.

With his right hand extended to the
rear, palm upward, to receive the 10.

ticket, and his left outstretched in
denunciatory gestures against these
same trusts, Mark Hanna presents an
anomalous picture to the American
voters. The day was when the voters
might only have seen the gesture. But
10 day they are looking behind the
scenes. They see the other hand,
Mark, they see the other hand.

There may be another Republican
Presidential ticket, as the anti-im-

nomination of candidates. The best
way to beat Mckinley, or to make his
defeat greater, is to vote for Bryan.
