habit of clear thought and expression; /;
and the teacher, by little forethought,
can be ready to ask the class ito frame
appropriate definitions of familiar
things.
It is by no means necessary that such
exercises as these should always be
corrected by the teacher. They may
be exchangd for correction by the pu-
pills themselves. Often it is we'll that
the exercise be written on paper, and
that each member of the class be re-
quired on the following day to revise
his own work. Or, If need be, part of a
period may be given to reading aloud
the exercises, and to brief criticism by
the teacher.
Plainly the success of such exercises
depends upon the teachers possessing
that which is at the bottom of all good
teaching-a ready knowledge of the
subject such as enables him to give
quick and helpful criticism A teach
er so equipped will find that his pupils
taught the art of composition in the
fashion here described, will improve
with astonishing rapidity. The almost
daily practice will inevitably bring
some degree of ease and skill. The
pupils will catch from the teacher and
from one another the art of accurate
expression, the faculty of using and
widening their vocabulary.
OF course, when all is said and done
it must be acknowledged that the pupil
who does not read much more than is
required of him in the course of his
work at school is not likely to acquire
much skill in composition. Reading
widens the pupils vocabulary, makes
him acquainted with sentences of many
forms, and teaches style by example
The best that can be done by frequent
practice in composition for the pupil
who does not read is to teach him how
to command his own narrow vocabu-
larry, and to breed in him the habit ot
putting his thoughts and feelings into
intelligibly written form. But even
this is much

phone to inform him that she would be

young man in charge of the hotel ex-
change to call up Sing Sing for her

you to talk to him over the telephone. .
"What's that? Can't allow me to
talk to my son? What sort of an in

PROFESSIONAL STUDY ESSEN
TIAL TO GOOD TEACHING.
By Supt. G. C. Tindal.

Why have such meager attachments
been accepted in the past from SO many
candidates for teachers positions?
The answer must be sought very
largely in the fact that the general
public has not appreciated to any
great extent the necessity of special
preparation for this the most import
ant Of all occupations.
Not long ago most people thought
that teachers holding the lowest grades
of certificates We're good enough for
the primary departments of schools.
To-day no thoughtful school board
employs a teacher for one of these
positions without first ascertainine
whether she has made special prepar-
alton for the particular work she
wishes to undertake.
With increased appropriations and
higher salaries, there will come still
greater demands for teachers who have
had special training for their work
Even now the demand for skilled
teachers is greater than the supply
and too often school boards are obliged
TO seek in another State a better equip
ped candidate than the home can af-
ford With a growing appreciation OF
good teaching on the part TO the public
will come greater discrimination in the
selection of teachers. Shall we wait
ill we are pushed aside by a stronger
candidate, or shall We bestir ourselves
to meet the requirements made of us?
1t is more and more noticeable each
year that those who have the giving OF
good salaries are becoming more ex-
acting in their demands for superior
qualifications in the candidates they
employ.
This demand is essential to gdod
schools. We can never have a system
of good schools till we have a body
of trained teachers.
The lawyer must have his general
education, plus the special education
that makes him lawyer. The same
facts are true of the physician, the
minister, and all others who would ex-
eel in any special calling.
Why should exception be made in the
case of the teacher? Can 1T be that her
calling is less important? BY no means
On the other hand it is the most
important of all, the ministry itself not
excepted, and the chief reason that
special training has not been required
of teachers in the past is because the
public has not realized its importance
To know a subject is one thing, to
know how to teach that subject is quite
another thing. knowledge of a sub
ject is a necessary condition, it is true
and the more thorough the knowledge
the more favorable the conditions. The
process of learning belongs to the child.
The teacher cannot learn for the child.
She can only direct, and it is much
more difficult to get knowledge and
skill in directing the study of another
than it is to learn the subject to be

ABOUT TABLE LINENS.
A Few Points which the shopper
Would DO Well to Keep
In Mind.

The preferred table linen is of fine
damask with an embroidered cipher.
This device is no longer made very
large and conspicuous and is not much
greater for the tablecloth than for the
napkins
There il nothing so difficult to judge
as table linen; no fabric where adul-
terations or exact qualities are SO dI1-
ficult to discern. In other than high
grade establishments. where one must
depend upon personal Judgment for
the purity Of a fabric, there are q
few points 10 keep in mind. Pure
linen is hard and slippery, never soft
and pliable. If a moistened finger be
applied TO an ail-linen cloth the mois-
ture win at once appear on the other
side. whereas in mixed goods it will
appear slowly or not at all. The fax
odor is always noticeable in linens, and
every woman should learn to recog-
nize ii or its absence.
Sheets with rufiied tops are again
used. after being long abandoned.
Sheets and pillow cases, with the
bolster cases If bolster is employed,
are made in sets to match. Yellow or
grayish lace, now seen on underwear,
is likewise adopted for bed linen. Hem
stitching is another decoration which
is much elaborated with drawn work
for bed linen and towels. The laces
which are chosen for trimming this
class of household linen are Meehlin.
Valenciennes and guipure.
Bed covers Of Richelieu embroidery
over lining OF covered taffeta are
seen. The most satisfactory ones,
however. are those of fine white Mar
seilles fringed or embroidered around
the edge and always fresh by reason
Of their capability Of being frequently
laundered.-St Louis Republic.
