with another class SO eager ana appre-
ciative. Though they knew little of the
country, yet they longed to know more
and their imagination met me more than
half way.
Emily Dickinson we'll expressed the use
of imagination when she said:
To make prairie it takes one clover and one
One clover and bee and reverie.
The revere alone will do if bees are few.
In our case certainly bees were few.
We worked with the materials brought
from the market, and we planted an egg
shell farm with the seeds of beets, carrots,
turnips, cabbages and radishes. Much
we narveled that the cabbage and turnip-
seeds were SO nearly alike that we could
not separate them, and yet that the
tinieSt seed, if it was turnip, would never
make the mistake of growing up into a
cabbage, and vice versa. And much we
wondered in looking at the vegetables,
that the carrot, the beet and the turnip,
though they grew side by side with the
same earth, water and sunshine to help
them develop, yet one stored up golden
yellow and one blood-red and one white
second seasons growth.
After we had planted our seeds and
learned about the strange ways our
vegetables had of growing, | was obliged
to go away, and | never shall forget the
beautiful impromptu speeches which
were made in English eloquent though
badly fractured when the time of parting
came. After | left | received many
letters from these children, telling me of
the growth of our plants in the egg-shell
farm; great was their excitement over
the fact that the sprouts of the beet were
red; and much sympathy and concern
were expressed about the sad condition
of the onion, which 1anguished and died,
despite the best of care; and various
and graphic were the drawings with
colored crayons sent me to show the
progress or decadence of our crops.
The memory of that experience has been
a delight and inspiration to me ever
since.
The chief difficulty with which the city
teacher of nature study has to cope is not
lack of material to study, but lack of
experience with nature on the part of the
pupils. Once | was asked to speak about
insects to a class of boys in the Tender
loin" district of New ork, and with
readiness born of inexperience | acquies-
ced. | thought | would select some
familiar insect, SO asked: How many
ever saw a butterfly" Two hands went
up. How many ever saw beer" One
hand wavered doubtfully in the air. And
SO on, until felt myself being pushed to
the unwilling discussion of certain in
sects not usually mentioned in polite
society. Suddenly | bethought me of
the house-hy, and straightway we en-
tered upon an illuminating lesson in
natural history, which wound up with
talk on hygiene and homily on cleanli-
ness based upon the boys own obser-
vations of the thorough and industrious
way the fly washes itself and it's evident
good health as result.
Though the city child's experience with
outdoor life is limited, yet his enthu-
siasrn for all that such life means counter
balances this disadvantage. One sum-

The SOHMER-
CECILIAN
PIANO
The Piano that Anybody
Everybody Can Play

is the celebrated Sohmer Piano, with the mechan-
ism of the Cecilian Piano Player built inside
the case.
This piano can be played with the fingers pre-
cisey the same as you would play any ordinary
piano and in addition to this, you can play it
by means of the Ceciian piano-player mechanism
which is built into it. All that is necessary is to
slip in roll of perforated music and operate the
pedals with your feet.
We wish to make this fact plain. for many per-
sons have thought that this piano could not be played
in the usual manner 1t can be played either
way and without making any changes Of any sort.
You can play the Sohmer -Cecian Piano even
though you don't know one note from another.
You play any music you wish.
The Sohmer -Cechan is piano which will be
appreciated and enjoyed continually by your entire
household for every member of your family can
play it, play it with absolutely correct technic and
with intelligent expression.
The Sohmer-Cecilian occupies no more room
and is different in appearance from any high class
upright piano.
The Cecilian Player in this piano has metal
action, something entirely in piano player con-
structon. Steel and Phosphor-Bronze take the
place of wood wherever it is possible, thus doing
away completely with all troubles caused by damp
ness or sudden changes in temperature.
There are many other points in regard to the
wonderful tone quality, the superior construction
and finish. the separable features and the easy
operation of the Sohmer-Ceciian which will interest
you greatly. We will send you complete de-
scnphon with views Of the piano. if you will send us
your address.
The prce Of the Sohmer- CeciEan Piano is $780,.
The CeciEan Player-Piano which is high grade
piano Of our own manufacture, with the Ceciian
Piano Player built inside the case, costs 5000 and
upwards

l passed out my listeners still hung
round the door, and | was escorted by
them to the street-car, meanwhile being
entreated to tell more.
AS | always had regarded it as one of
the fundamental principles of methods
in nature study that lesson should be
short and sharp and not convey too
many ideas or introduce too many SUBJ
jects, | naturally felt crestfallen and
began wondering if all pedagogical prin-
ciples were likely to be smashed to
snithereens" when brought into sharp
contact with children, their ways and
their interests.
Though my own experiences have been
mostly with children of the poor in cities,
and who were therefore not surfeited with
pleasures and amusements; vet a child
is a child, and l am informed by those
who teach the children of the rich that
they show the same eagerness and joy in
learning natures ways. | know of one
city teacher who, through lack of room
in her school building, was obliged to
fit up an unfinished but well-lighted garnet
for nature study laboratory. The little
pine tables covered with white oi1-cloth
and the plain wooden chairs comprised
the furniture of the ROOM But there
were aquaria and growing plants in the
windows, and insects and other little
animals in cages to be seen here and there

mand, yet as he entered this upholstered
garnet, he said to his mother: Il think
this is the most beautiful room in the
whole world"
Nature-study is not for discipline and
drill and the only reason why it may be
added to the already crowded curri-
culum of the public school is because it
is an everpresent help in the regular
school work. Instead of an added bur-
den, it is a new interest which Eliminates
the several studies already in the curri-
culun. After many years of teaching
discovered that in order to write we'll the
child should have something to say
something within himself that demands
outward expression. 1t also has been
discovered that drawing is a natural
method of self-expression on the part of
the child, and unless distorted by bad
teaching, it is ever a JOY rather than
task. However, to keep it joy rather
than task it must express in color or in
form something i'll which the child is in

Now, the study of nature is SO natural
to the child that he is not conscious that
he is learning anything when he is en-
gagged properly in this study.
He finds these delightful out-of-door in
terests an absorbing occupation, and
nothing pleases him more than to tell
about them to a sympathetic listener
He also likes to write about them when

The Old Story.

The following dispatch, bearing a Sioux City date line is
appearing in the papers of that state.
AT the n1orgue lies the body of William P. Dryer. The
dead body was found in a barn. Alcoholism was the cause of
death. Fifteen years ago Dwyer was a prosperous awning
manufacturer i'll Kansas City. He had Il nice home and a
happy family. Some time ago his wife left him, and his home
was broken, .
The dispatch tells in few words the story of a wrecked life.
1t is not we'll to pass too hurriedly over these words-a wreck
ed lfc-for they mean more than III 4 moment the mind con-
ceives. The reader is left to imagine the details that fill out
the story of Dryers lie-the provocatious he gave his wife to
leave him, his own battle against temptation, his defeat, his
srbmergencc Ill a slough Of dissipation. 1t is not hard to
supply the details. They may be taken out of the chronicle Of
uncounted thousands of lives whose story is writtenin wrecked
homes, III the daily existence Of impoverished wives and child
rem, a heritage to be ashamed Of and an unmarked mound in
a potters field. 1t is a very old story, written indelibly in
blood and tears.
