stance. He states that he forgets that
he is Mansfield when he plays i'm
portant roles. Now, if he really does so
forget, why is it that he does not really
kill his opponents in various duel and
death scenes in some of his plays,
Richard III as an example? He only
pretends to kill opponents, so he must
know he is acting, and consequently
that he is Mansfield, not the character.

PUBLIC EDUCATION.

Many people have hazy, confused and
distorted idea of the word "education''. The
word is often misunderstood, misused and
made the explanation of results for which it is
not responsible. The ''taught" aud the 'edu-
Gated" are often considered as synonymous
terms, and we get into the habit of supposing
that the 'taught" are az well equipped for
doing life's work as the educated. To
teach is one thing; to educate is quite another.
can teach q boy to read every page of Caesar;
but when he takes up Virgil, the next Latin
book, he is unable to do any thing with it. IF
you educate the pupil to read Caesar, he may
well nigh master Virgil by himself. Yon can
teach bullfnch to whistle "Hail Columbia,
ner;" but neither one unaided would be able
to master a stanza of "Coming through the
Rye.
When man is educated, not only has he
learned something; but he has acquired the
ability to grapple with difficulties which to
him are new. The person who is simply
taught" is largely failure in attacking new
problems.
Many schools are handicapped to day be.
cause the patrons want their children taught
and the way made easy, whether the pupils
become educated or not. The effort which
child puts forth to find out something for
himself, is the work which educates him. and
nothing but self.effort will educate 1t is not
best that you should teach the pupil how to
solve all the problems, or tell him how to
parse all the sentences and answer all the
questions. The best training is that which
leads the learner with encouragement in such
manner that he will do most of the work him
self. The teachers handing ont the knowl-
edge to the pupil is like the workmans put
ting paint on post; it does not add to the
post any ability to paint itself.
The best teacher is not always she who uu-
ties all the knots, and thus deceives the parent;
the better teacher is one who, when the ends
of the path are lost and all the GU leis closed
up, comes and makes few suggestions such
as will enable the pupil to keep in the road
next time.
Many of the failures of the so called edu-
Gated class come from among those simply
taught; those educated and in possession
of good moral character rarely ever fail. In
such cases the failures that do occur result
from attempts to accomplish something for
which the persons by nature have no adapta.
