The Parent and the Pupil.
(CalaiS TimcS.)


Every mother should take as much
care of her child's instruction as the
school teacher, and far more. In point
Of fact, however, very few mothers
worry much about it; they are content
to let the teachers have the whole task,
and do not spend hours each week with
the child. guiding it Alright in study.
An hour every evening would mean
a great deal to the struggling pupil.
That poor start at the first of the year
has been the means of keeping child
behind the class throughout the school
months. a bright child too, who might
have won first seat had the mother
taken an interest and given help to
smooth over the rut in the road. 1t is
4 mistake to do things for the child;
the idea is to guide the pupil along. A
man going into the woods to hunt big
game does not expect his guide to walk
for him. paddle for him and shoot for
him; he does all those things himself.
The guides duty is to point the way
and to teach the hunter how to paddle
and shoot for himself.
The sums in arithmetic cannot be
actually figured and penciled for the
young student; but the method should
be explained carefully and pains
takingly; and often it is a discouraging
task too. If the child is to learn any
thing the encouragement must not
come to the teacher Patience must

A few words should he routed from

An enthusiasm for learning, for acquir-

shall lead to the desire to not only
learn the prescribed lesson, but to
learn all about that lesson. This en-

The NONRESIDENT Hunter.
(Biddeford Journal.)

(BiddefOrd JOurnal)
A Massachusetts, hunter, just out
of the Maine woods, reports that dur
ing the two weeks he spent i'll camp
near Roach pond he shot and secured
one moose, two deer one bear, one
fox and a large number of cartridges.
The moose weighed over eight hundred
pounds AMI had antlers that spread
ffty-six inches. And yen it is from
Massachusetts that the oily kicks
against the Maine nonresident hunt
ers license law are coming. OF course
AL NONRESIDENT hunters are not as sue
cessful as this man. but equal oppor-
tunities are provided for all, and if all
do not get their moneys worth it is
either their own fault or their mis-
fortune. The game is certainly here
in abundance, and the provisions of the
Maine laws are not hard to meet.

Maine occasionally have made pc
culiar mistakes in the wording of the
laws as in case just brought UP af-
fecting Kennebec and other counties,
the law providing that only one deer
NAV be killed in this county during
November of each year. The author
of the provision probably meant that
only one deer could be killed by a
single hunter under the law but this
was not stated in the law as pub
lishcd. Chapter 3S4 of the laws of
1905. provides: "Open season on deer in
York, Cumberland, Sagadahoc, Lincoln,
Knox, Waldo and Kennebec counties
during November of each year, and
only one deer can be killed in either of
these counties during the open season
in each year. These provisions, how
ever, do not apply to the towns of
York, kittery, Eliot and Wells in York
county, or to Bath, West Bath and
Phippsburg in Sagadahoc county. in
which towns and cities it is unlawful
to hunt or kill any deer at any time"
