A NEAR CALAMITY.


Little Mary was being Initiated into
the wonders of the Pullman car. She
and her mother left the city late in the
afternoon. each occupying big cush-
Toned seat in the car. Mary wished to
know at once where they were to
sleep and after five hours explana-
tion by her mother she realized that
they were to sleep in bed made over
their seats, which would be complet-
ed by the porter about nine o'cleck.
At the next stop man entered the
car and Mary was forced to give up
her individual seat to him. He had
reserved the upper berth, which she
did not know. The giving up Of the
seat was for q time, enough food for
thought, bat she finally burst out with
the question:
Mamma, If We sleep here, and all
those other people sleep where they
are sitting, where is that man going
to sleepY

Or. Augustus }. Thomas. State ST.
perintendent of public schools. said
Saturday that very gratifying reports
| as to the High school enrolment have
already reached the educational de-
partment. While it appears that SEN
ior and junior classes have in some
cases fallen off the first year classes
are unusually large.
How general this condition may be
it is too carly to say, but 18th reports
Of this character coming from several
Of the larger schools OF the state the
outlook is very encouraging" says
DR.. Thomas.
Our big job is to hold these boys
and girls who are coming TO the high
school. AS whole they are younger
than similar classes in years past.
Many school systems arc doing away
with the ninth grade and closer at
tention to promotion within the sys-
tenn is reducing the number of re-
pcaters. Our courses and methods
NUT be re-adjusted 10 suit slightly
less mature minds. We must deal
with the concrete. the actual.
our teaching must he constantly
related to the present interests Of the
pupils. Motivation simply means the
placing of detectives before the pupil
which appeal to him as making the
tas-. worth doing because the objec-
tive has a value. Hence the labora-
tory must be given an important
place. The lesson must be prob
len. or series Of problems. MemoriZ-
ing the text and answering set ques-
tons have very little place in the
classroom. Our teaching must be in
tensivc. We must leave out non es-
sentials.
I'VE must seriously undertake to
teach our pupils to work N the most
efficient manner. They must first be
taught how to study and next their
study must be supervised in such a
manner as will insure results. The
fir problem is matter of explain
ing a few simple rules and assisting
the pupil to apply them. &C making
the lesson period time for prepara-
ton for study and for study itself.
Supervised study" is practical in
any school. The double" period is
desirable but not essential. The Or
binary period may be divided and a
part given to study of the new as
signment. The recitations as such
may be omitted for the day and the
class devote the time to the assign
ment. The first essential is careful
assignment of work, the second is
that the teacher work with the pupils
giving to each the special guidance
needed. This cannot be done seated
at the desk. Supervised study is in
dividual and personal, not collective.
Common sense and study of the
problems will make it work and work
with surprising results"
