TEACHING and LEARNING.
The After SChOOl Club and The Bow Of
T0-mOrfOW.

The following, while not primarily
presented as an arraignment of ou1
present day system Of education
could well stand as such:
In the school of tomorrow it will
be boys more than books and living
more than letters. 1t will make fo1
the health Of the body, fresh air,
wholesome food, adequate exercise,
and manly work; it will make foi
the health of the mind sanity,
alertness and reliability; it will make
for the health Of the spirit-habits
of social justice and expressions of
divine truth. Furthermore, it will
direct it's youth into paths Of indus
trial efficiency and world service.
''The schools Of yesterday were so
arranged as to make it convenient
to teach; the schools of tomorrow
will be arranged to make it con-
venient to learn"
1t would seem that the very dis
satisfaction with things as they are
must hold the promise of advance
ment.
In answer to this very demand for
something better-a saner educa-
ton of parent, teacher and child
alike-has grown up a movement
which is doing widespread, practical
good in nearly every State Of cur
Union; in fact it is revolutionizing
things educationally. tits the After
School Club, an organization of lead
ing educators and experts in child
training, who have crystalized into
one great movement ali the availa-
ble..helps for the school and the home.
The After School Club of America
has undertaken to bring to parents
and teachers the best thought OBJ
tainable in the study and welfare of
children. 1t places in their hands
the proceedings Of practically all the
various societies which are working
in the cause Of childhood and citizen
ship. To the children it gives the
best possible opportunities for men
tai, moral and spiritual growth.
This is an expression of the opin-
ion of a leading educator regarding
the work Martin G.<Brumbaugh,
Of schools, Philadel-
phia, Pa, says:
II have gone with considerable
care into the work of the After
School Club Of America, and like it's
plans and approve its methods /
believe it is destined to accomplish
a large good in the training and
nutrition of the children of this
country
THE After School Club was Or
ganized in this city and is officered
and supported by some of the most
and capable men of
affairs in Philadelphia. l believe
that the people interested in this
have no mercenary or ulterier mo-
tive, tt cir one desire being to help
in a systematic and ration
al way. | should be very glad in

plan for their broader edu-

Punctuation In Piano Playing.

A joke is going the rounds of the
press about the girl whose music teach.
er wished to compliment her, but of
whom he could only say that she play
ed the rests excellently. This is, how
ever, real praise of a sort, for it is not
every young student of music who is
careful about playing the rests well.
Indeed, great many players seem to
forget that the rests are just as much
of the piece as is the punctuation in a
sentence. Nowadays people do not
put in so much punctuation as they
used to do, but the pauses in the voice
are there just the same and are readi-
~ understood by good readers and al
ways regarded. The rests in music
are like the pauses in reading that are
needed to give expression to the SEN
fences If the player sights the rests
or extends them too long the whole eff
feet of the musical sentence is spoiled

Why did you do thatY Boucicault
