ing at the Roaring brook.
From Elm to Maple streets The COM
pany will have to build a tunnel As
the grade from the level of the roadbel
at Elm street and Irving avenue to
the entrance to the mine at Maple
street would be very steep it will be
necessary to take up the bottom OF
the mine gangway for a considerable
distance to secure a suitable grade.
The opening made into the mine yes
terday was for the purpose of giving
the engineers an opportunity to get in
side to run the necessary ines and sur.
veys. \ large quantity of shae taken
from the mine opening is to be used

POWER OF SYMPATHY.
The power of sympathy.' he de-
clared, is the cause of the difference
between the cruelty of the savage ma
tion and the kindness of the civilized
land. He said that the one great de-
feet in the present educational system
is the want Of a training of the emo
tiona side of human nature. The
study of literature and of music is the
two things which develop this emo
tional side of man, he said. He then
started out TO show how literature
develops both the emotional nature
and the character of the individual.

MISS SUTHERLAND'S TALK.

she spoke at some length upon The
Qualifications of the Primary Teacher"
She urged her listeners. first of all. to
keep continually improving their men,
tai powers. "There has not been a year
of my life" said she. ''in which l have
not carried on some study entirely out
side of my school work.
THE primary teacher needs trained
intellect and she needs also finely
trained powers of observations. She
needs to be able TO come down from
her superior plane and see things with
the children's eyes. She must have i'm
aginatiOn, alsO-tWO kinds of it. She
must have a reproductive imagination
in order that she may make the chill
dren see things as she sees them and
she must have u creative imagination
in order that she may invent little
stories to tell her pupils. The primary
teacher who cannot make up her own
pretty little stories and tell them in an
interesting way to her pupils is scarce
ly the teacher TO put i'm charge of a
school.
''Not only the primary teacher, but
also the FIRST and second year teacher
as we'll must have a clear-cut. active,
may explain away clearly and plainly
the concepts ana notions which the
majority of children form in their first
years al school"
Miss Sutherland declared that the
prime essential, however, for every
teacher is a sound moral character and
a great heart. A great many children
come to school from houses of moral
degradation and are used to nothing
but cruel, harsh treatment, she said.
'lf the teacher meets these little
ones with severe, harsh mien and
causes their little souls to wither up
within them, she will scarcely be for
given she should receive them with
her heart literally oyeriloWing with
kindness and love. In no other way
will she exert an influence over their
lives. The primary teacher should be
wealthy and wise, not wealthy in
worldly goods, but wealthy in resource
ana in love"

WHEN THOMAS takes HIS PEN.

Young Thomas Jones came home from
school with sad and solemn air:
He did not kiss his mothers cheek nor
pull his sisters hair; y.
He hungered not for apples, and he spoke
In dismal tones;
Twas very clear misfortune drear had
happened Thomas Jones.
NY precious child" his mother cried,
what. what is troubling you?
school! Oh, tell US what 70 do!'
Then Thomas Jones made answer In q
dull, despairing way:
i've got to write an essay on The In
dian Today"
His tallest sister ran to him. compassion
in her eye:
His smallest sister pitied him-nor knew
the reason why:
And all that happy family forsook it,
work and play
To hunt up information on 1.-The Indian
To-day"
They read of Hiawatha and Of sad Ra-
mona's woe
You found encyclopedias where'er they
CHANGED to go.
They bought a set of Cooper, and they
searched 1t through and through,
While Thomas Jones sat mournfully and
told them what to do.
For three whole days the library was
like a moving van.
rs Mr.. JONES'" each caller asked, "a lit
erary MANI"
And day by day more pitiful BECAME
young Thomas plight,
Because, alas! the more he read, the more
he could not write.
''Write what you know" his mother
hn eli
II do not know one single thing" that
wretched child replied.
"Oh, help me. won't you? Don't you
care?" Then, when assistance came:
Don't tell me-don't! 1t isn't fair" he
pleaded just the same.
The night before the fateful day was
quite the worst of all.
Black care upon the house Of Jones de-
scended like a pail.
All pleasure paled all comfort failed, and
laughter seemed sin;
For "Oh, Tomorrow" Thomas walled,
1T must be handed in!'
When, 10! the voice of Great-aunt Jones
came sternly through the door:
II cannot stand this state of things one
single minute more!
The training of fractions child is plain
~ not my mission;
But-Thomas Jones, go straigh upstairs
and write that composition"
And Thomas Jones went straight up
stairs, and sat him down alone,
And-though grant stranger thing was
surely never known
In two short hours he returned serenely
to display
Six neatly written pages on 1.-THE Indian
To-day!'
His teacher read them to the class, and
smiled well-pleased smile;
She praised the simple language and the
calmly flowing style;
For while" she. said :.he does not rise
to any lofty height,
IT'S wonderful how easily young Thoma:
Jones can write"
