You ask Where is the beauty" It lies in the outcome Of the story. everyone is glad when the wolf drops into the kettle of hot water. The story teaches the child q lesson in ethics, because it arouses la feeling of admiration Don't preach, iot the story preach its own sermon.
 A man can not become an athlete by reading the rules: he must do for himself.
 Let the teacher teach humaneness by teaching the boy to treat every lone right, and the one dog that the boy must care for in his own home win reach that boy more lessons of kindness than he could possibly learn in any other way. .1 have no pa- tience with these unreal. wishy washy stories that are supposed to teach cur children kindness"
 Bravery is not hard to arouse ir child. boy delights in going out to hunt for something. Boys and girls who read much owe their ideals to the books they read, more than to the people they meet.
 The choice of literature used in the schools is as important single decision as any teacher is ever re- quired to make. We acquire a taste for music by hearing good music; for art by seeing good pictures. and for literature by reading the best that has been given us The literary motive back of the story makes it literary; these little stories develop ideals. In comparing the books of Jesse James with those of Steven sons Treasure Island we find that all tha tis beautiful in the latter is true, while au that is bad in the former is true"

They must be intelligent teachers, not teachers who have been driven into the ranks. because they were failures in some other profession: they must be sympathetic teachers, remember ing how it felt to be boys or girls. Rust put themselves in the child's place and see with it's eyes. they must be the teachers who hold this position, not by pull. 'bue hecausee they deserve it; they must be not only school teachers, but men and women among men and women. And when is the right time? The i teaching teaching of flaw and order must be
 gin when the child enters enters school and end when he departs. Of course different grades require difYer ent rules. You could not govern the hiii 5hiia oi six years the same as one much older. We must choose the time when the child can be led to think upon any problem that con- fronts it. This twentieth century has its own special virtues and its own vices; there are new conditions arising every day, the state and the nation are calling for our aid, and | one can ke.p by substituting knowI- edge for ignorance. One should all ways train for social efficiency. Edu- cation is the ability to see and to seize the opportunity. and it is . wise teacher who is able to do this.
