and keep them tremendously together
| for nine months in their studies, keep.
| ing all equally interested in their work
More than fifteen years ago we urg-
! ed the fallacy of the System" and in
our own work demonstrated the pos
sibility of one pupils being able to
pass through several grades during the
school year while others failed to pass
successfully, through one.
The teacher who is with his pupils
every day should be able without any
written test to decide when a pupil
is sufficiently advanced to enter the
next grade or. at least. should know
when the work is too easy or too hard
for any pupil in the class in any
grade which he is teaching.
The sympathy for the laggard often
worked injury to the deserving ones
where the System" was in vogue
The frequent change of teachers, es-
pecially in rural schools. has been very
detrimental to the advancement of pu-
pills. for in many instances no record
of pupils work has been left by the
outgoing teacher for the guidance of
the incoming teacher, consequently the
new teacher must necessarily lose the
greater part of the first month of
school in recognizing and grading
classes.
Happily our rural schools have in
most cases been graded of recent years
and course of study closely followed
SO that teachers now know, or should
know, where they are at.
AS we look back and recall the work
done in rural schools forty years ago,
bitter tears of regret strive to fill our
orbs and stroll down the wrinkled
cheek.
While there has been an awakening
from those old-time ideas and our
modern educators have seen the neces-
sity of and have introduced mapped
out course of study, yet but few seem
to have gotten away from the system"
of putting 'em all into one hopper and
striving to grind 'em all out of the
same spout after nine or ten months
run.
Now that Mr.. Harris says we must
get away from the System" let every
wide-awake teacher turn to" and help
the child who helps himself.
While we believe it just and proper
that those unfortunates who find it diff
fcult to catch on" should have the
sympathy and individual aid of the
teacher, yet we could never see the
justice in holding back the child en-
dowed with an abundance of gray mat
ter for fear that his less brilliant COM
panion might feel hurt and become
discouraged.
We must learn some time in our
lives that all are not born equal: that
some have more capacity than others
and that while we are all struggling
up the hill together, aiming to reach
the same point, some must lead the
way-others must follow.
There's no getting around the fact
that one cannot make silk purses out
of pigs ears" try as we will, and while
we should, from an humanitarian
standpoint, help our weaker brother

Do They Know Any Better?

why Is 1t that so many people re-
ceive aims without showing any signs
OF appreciation of same?
1t seems to us that there must be
some reason for this careless. indif-
ferent manner and taht recipients too
often take it for granted that the DON
ors know they are pleased to get gifts
and 1t is not necessary for one to give
an expression of thanks. In fact. it
seems to have become quite unpopu-
lar to give thanks for anything now.
In the good old days. when our fore
fathers never sat down to meal with
out giving thanks; never retired at
night until on their Bonded knees they
gave thanks to the Giver of all good
gifts, children were more appreciative
than now.
If we were to offer child an apple,
an orange or some candy now the
chances are that the impudent child
would stick up its nose as much as to
say-you stingy old thing, is that all
you have to give?
What shall We do to inspire our chill
dren with wisdom that understand
eth and spirit of thankfulness that
shows itself?
Teachers and parents, you have

neglected.
Start right with the child See to
it that the child is taught politeness.
OF course, if the child has an unselfish
spirit it will not forget to give thanks.
but we must rid the child of that
greed, that desire to get all it can
without showing an appreciation of
any favors. Such children when
grown up and starting into business
for themselves have much to learn be-
fore they are on the road to success.
Unless business man shows due
appreciation of the patronage he re-
ceives he will become a failure in
business.
Just watch the shrewd business man.
See how he leaves no stone unturned
to make the pathway of his customers
as pleasant as possible.
Parents and teachers see to it that
every child whose character is put
into your hands to mould that you do

and thus show our gratitude for our
more fortunate condition, there is no
reason why We should allow ourselves
to be dragged down by the folly Of
others.
True, many a one. during his child
hood, has appeared stupid, but by his
indomitable courage has plodded on
and on until at length he has forged
his way to the front. The story of the
race of the nimble hare and the plod-
ding tortoise has given courage and
hope to many and has helped them to
win the race against their brighter
companions. u
Let the teacher not mistake slow
ness for stupidity, nor quickness for
brightness lest she let fall sarcastic
remark that may rankle in the bosom
of worthy youth.
Nor should the teacher mistake STU
pidity for profoundness lest she waste
her sweetness on the desert air, and
let those who should have attention,
because of their possibilities, wither
and decay. OLD HAS-BEEN.

School Gardening in the Country.
BY Eigie Kay.

BY ElEie Kay.
The bare, f1Owerless school grounds
are pitiful when we reflect how many
hours of the lives of teachers and pu-
pills are spent there. Such condition
is most undesirable. and it is usually
unnecessary.
Where the yard is open to all stray
ing livestock. the teacher may spare
herself any labor trying to beautify
NJ but when it is fenced much can be
dome.
Generally the teacher can interest
tne children in improving the looks of
their school home. and perhaps some
can donate seeds or plants.
Morning-glories are always beauti-
ful an dare easily trained about door
and windows. as they grow quickly
and need little attention.
With little care. bed of pansies
can be grown In some partially shad-
ed place. and made a spot of beauty
for many days-even for another year,
VI they are given winter protection.
The school-yard is intended as a
place of recreation for the pupils. and
must not be cut up into fiower-beds
which interfere with its purpose: but
in the corners and along the walk,

hardy perennials.
Phlox. paeonies. iris. corn and tiger
lilies. and lilies-of-the-valley are old,
tried favorites. and need no care after
they are established.
By the fence or the side of the
school-house there should be at least
one bush each of rose. lilac and flow
ering currant to perfume the air with
their fragrance and delight the eye
with their beauty.
Window boxes are fine. when thrift
ty, but require SO much care to be so
that they are not often advisable.
No matter how unattractive the
fence. vines can make it Il thing of
beauty. Some obliging boy can usual
ly bring some wild vine.-woodbine
creeper or five-leaved ivy tit is not
poisonous). or even hop vine, which
will grow luxuriantly. If not. morn
ing-glOry or sweet pea vines can be
trained over the inside of the fence.
The shrubs and perennials have
named can almost always be procured
at the homes of the pupils, and will
cost nothing but the labor of setting
out. They will live year after year
with no further attention.
Pansy, morning glory and sweet pea
seed is not costly. and the plants will
need only little hoeing to keep the
weeds down. and an occasional water
ing in dry weather. Thus with small
outlay the yard of the country school
can be rendered much more attractive
than those ordinarily seen.

Some Thoughts on Reading.

Reviewing the past fifty years we
ind that great changes have been
made in the methods of teaching read
ing and the subject matter to be read.
Now the child learns to read before
learning the alphabet, which was for
merly taught after long, tedious pro-
cess and wasting of much valuable

time, so that the method of teaching
how to read" has been greatly Inn
proved, but not so with the selection
of reading matter.
We believe those old readers con-
tanned better assortment of better
literature than the readers of today,
though perhaps not SO we'll graded.
We find, since the Introduction of
supplementary reading that much bet
ter reading issbeing done-mechanical-
~ speaking, but are children accom-
plishing results? Are they digesting
and assimilating the essential thought
in the matter read?
There is one book we would like to
see placed into the hands of every
eighth grade pupil to be read and dis
cussed In the presence of the teacher
and with the teachers aid in drawing
out the best that is in it. We refer
to "Chesterfields Letters to His Son"
So little real good advice is given to
children by parents and teachers along
lines laid down in these letters that
we believe much good might be ac-
complished from an ethical standpoint
by placing this book into the hands of
school children for supplementary
reading.
This book of 34S pages can be
bought in good binding, paper and
print at one-fOurth the cost of books
of like grade and composition now
used. While we do not purchase books
for their cheapness, this is point
that should be kept in mind, yet the
essential feature is the valuable ethf-
cal training 1t contains, especially at
this period of child's life.
Much is being said and something
being done towards reformation in
the moral training of the youth of to-
day.
Judge B. B. Lindsey, by fathering
the juvenile court of Denver, Colorado,
has called the attention of many to his
progressive methods of handling the
bad boy" and won for himself from
the street boys of Denver the proud
title-"Daddy" Lindsey.
By sending ten cents to pay postage,
to Hon. B. B. Lindsey, Denver, Colo,
you can become the owner of his 22O
page book, The Problem of the Chill
dren," book that every parent and
teacher should own.
There is general awakening as to
the need of better training of the
youth and every teacher should get
in line and become informed upon the
uiOSI approved meLnOOS.
