The Best way to reach History.

The idea Of object teaching, the founda-
ton of the Froebel system Of instruction,
has in recent years met with general accept.
ance and adoption in almost every branch of
education, high and low, with resultant ben.
ehts which are beyond question. Even such
subjects as grammer and arithmetic are
now taught in this way so far as practicable.
and with marked advantage over the old
dry and abstract method. The practice Of
teaching history by making pilgrimages TO
the very scenes where great historical events
have occurred is an application Of the same
principle and much more valuable in the
way of impressing the reality of history upon
the minds of the young than any amount of
mere textbook instruction could be. A re-
cent issue Of the "Four-Track Series" nnh.
lished by the New York Central manage.
ment,. gives a description Of the historical
sites In the immediate vicinity of New York.
which will be Of exceeding value for the
guidance of teachers and others who desire
to adopt this method of historical study
One OF the best ways to develop civic pride
and promote good citizenship lies in this
very, direction, an increase Of knowledge Of
local history being accompanied with an in.
crease OF interest in matters of local govern.
ment and a higher concern for what affects
the welfare and good name Of the commu.

They had not walked through the
streets together for a good while
not even to church. Horatio Whit
ney was keenly sensitive to the fact
that his overcoat and hat were shah
by. He did not care to remember
how long it vas since he had bought
new ones, and he did not want
Martha to remember. So he STAYED
at home Quietly, and grew a little
grayer and a little older every day.
So he had stayed at home Sunday
after Sunday. He was always tired;
it was a good enough excuse Martha
gave up urging him after awhile.
The next morning Martha walked
downtown with Horatio, through
Jermyn street. 1t was a beautiful
day.
Down the street a little way prog
ress was temporarily blocked, and
Horatio and Martha came to a stand
still. A heavy dray was being backed
across the sidewalk.
They were abreast of a splendid
plate-glass show-window, and Martha
turned to it for entertainment. What
woman was ever at loss for
ment with a show-window at her ell
bow? But this one-Martha turned
away a little Disguised. 1t was only
a mems furnishing store.
The drayman took his time.
Martha was driven back to the win
dow in self-dcfense, and it was this
time that she saw the coat that re-
minded her. A little thrill a over
her, for it vas the exact shade-the
soft, deep gray-of that other coat.
1t was not distinguishably different,
in style-queer that Is years
make SO little change!
Martha glanced at Horatio's shabby
overcoat. The pitiless sun gave it no
quarter. She saw all its fadedness
and meanness, and the listless. de-
jected sag of it. It gave her q start
surprise that she had not noticed
It before. She scarcely ever noticed

But now-the contrast between the
