The amount of time devoted to work
with color varies somewhat as the
course OF study varies in subject. In
the spring Gnd fall we do a large
amount of work directly from nature.
We begin with the landscape, We take
landscape i'll the middle and we end
with landscape. We draw in color
from flogera and fruits, from bright
foliage, seed berries. etc.; we watch the
sunset ard the sunrise, the play of
color in vasious forms of water-in
clouds, in lake, in river, in rainbow and
in dewdroD; We are interested in the
cold and sce,ber hues of winter, as well
as in the freshness and viyidness of the
green of returning spring-and we re-
cord these observations and impress
sions as they come to us, no matter
what the season or the proportion OF
time consumed by SO doing AS an
average, however, if 1 were Obliged to
estimate, should say that about half
OF the time devoted to drawing work
had been used this year in the study OF
color, perhaps more, as we have doubt
less been carried to an extreme by the
novelty of the work and the fact that
IN order to make strong beginning
overemphasfs was necessary under the
conditions in which we work If
were to answer in one statement the
question, What is the value of a knoWl-
edge of the color to the child?
should say: 1t helps him to be hap
pier, and being happy, he is good;
and being good, he is benefit and a
blessing to his community and his
race. Children are emotional in their
thoughts and feelings. Color appeals
directly to the emotions and feelings
Good work in color is so largely o
question of feeling-if we do not feel
the beauty of the landscape, we can
never adequately express it. Children
love color, as naturally as they love
birds and flowers, kittens and puppies,
babies and playmates. There are ply
steal reasons, also, why the brush is
a pencil, or even a stick of dry color.
That medium is best for them which
offers the least resistance, that af-
fords the thinnest barrier between
themselves and their expression. They
think in mass, they see in mass, they
should express in mass. An apple is
round to the young child, but after
it is red. How overwhelming has been
the response from the children as to
their delight in drawing with color!
1t is right and natural for them to love
it and to use it. 1t is UNJUST and
wicked to deprive them of fuller &C
quaintance with it. With the older
children, also, the study of color has
been of immense disciplinary value
A much larger percentage of the pupils
have been greatly interested in color
than have been interested in any other
one study in the entire course.-School

Prep.re for the summer,s Garden.

At this season one may make pro-
vision for next summers garden by
starting cuttings from desirable sum-

often be secured without interfering
with the beauty or usefulness of the
old plant. Keep shallow box of

these cuttings. Keep it warm and al

she took the lead and held it In the
race, which COX place on Friday, Aug
%. 1851, against six schooners and
seven cutters of the Royal Yacht
squadron. She completed the run of
eighty-one miles, despite the loss of
her jib boom, eight minutes in advance
of the Aurora. The cup came to this
country at that time and has remained
here ever since. In 1857 the Americas
owners presented the cup to the New

clerk and went on his way also.
When Mr. Peacock returned the
young lady addressed him saying,
"Are you Judge Peacock ?" He was

name. "Well," said the clerk, "a
gentleman left word that you should
wait for him here" "Who was the
gentleman ?" inquired Mr.. Peacock,
"He said his name was Colonel
Brooke" she replied. The young
lady is probably wondering yet wha,
