NUGGRTS,

I. Under the leading “Book Re- view ‘are given some valuable hints on the teaching of Primer classes. It is of the greatest importance that right method be followed in the teaching of the lowest classes. ;

II. Give all your classes some sup- plementary reading. Pupils get weary reading over and over again the text books By Selecting interesting ar- ticles fram magazines, or newspapers and haw%mg your pupils read them aloud the quality of the reading will be much improved.

III. An extended popular plebiscite on the “hundred best books” for chiidren was taken recently in Eng- land. ‘the result placed “Robinson Crusoe” at the head of a list by a nine. tenths vote, while Hans Anderson’s “Tales” stood second, and “Alice in Wonderland” third. Such is the ex pression of what may fairly reckon “the common sense of most”, and its soundness will be chailenged by few. IV. The manager of an immense

‘‘It is not best to use a book at first, possibly not for one, two or even thsee months. Use the blackbeard, and, after af time, charts if suitable one’s are provided. Began, in all cases, with a few conversational lessons. Oral language has a meaning for the child at home, and its use should be contin- ued in the school-room, until the child talks freely with the teacher will thus discover what interests the child at home, and the child will learn to transfer some ef the home thoughts and home feelings to the school. Let the conversation lessons begin with the study of a picture, the picture, for inistance of a baby, a hen, a horse, a cat, a dog, &c” and lead the child to talk frankly and unresevedly with you about what the picture represents and suggests.

After half a dozen or more conversa- tion lessons tne board may be used,

I The Empire Reading Series, Prime Parts Land II, Halifax: Atk W Mckin- ley. Messrs A & W McKinley have just issued from their press the Prim- ers of a Series of Readers called “The Empire”. The plan of these is a simple and natural are. (1) The picturse of an object is used to get the name of the object. (2) The written is printed word is asscciated with the picture of the object, and becomes

The lessons may be modeled afier those given in this Primer, but much worst be suppliec by the teacher. It isof the utmost importance that. in the early stages the work be done very slowly and very thoughly, with frequent repetu- tions of previous lessons,

In all the ‘essons of the first three or four books let through drill, both in the sight and the sound words, be giv- board before the reading is attempted. Forifthe pupil is fre- quently meeting with words. which he coes not recognize, his reading is al- most sure to be stammering, drawling and expressionless.

EDUCATION AS A NECESSITY.

One of the signs of the times is the rapidly growing recognition of rhe ne- Cessity of thorough education in all branches of practical work. The ne- Cessity of training for the professions has been recognized tor centuries; but it has been assumed, especially in this country, that success in practical pursuits depended on natural sagacity and farce.

in Europe, where competition is keener and natural opportunities are not so great, people have Leen, learn- ing very rapidly in the last two gener- ations that the man in business needs education quite as much as the man inthe professions or the arts. Ger- many, so long the home of scholar- Ship for its own sake, so easily the educational leader of the world, with- out lowering the standard of her in- ventions, has been supplementing them with a series of technical institu- tions directed specifically to teaching men how to apply science to business.

England has felt keenly the compe- tition of Germany during the last two decades; and it has been a matter of discussion in the newspapers, of notes of warning from English consuls from all parts of East and South Amer ica, and of anxious deliberation in Parliament and out of it.

The rapid growth of Germary as a commercial nation has bzen due, as the English believe, to the supericrity

cation, sat education is of recent Origin; but with their immense ex perience as educators andwith their Keen perception of the opportunities which we offered to modern Germany, the Germans have developed their education cn the practical side with great rapidity and with characteristic thoroughness. Through their techni- cal schools the Germans have been able to avail themseives practically of their resources in the way of scientific knowledge;}through their commercial schools they are training themselves tor the specific work of business in all parts of the world. To meet a com- petition which is essentially education- alinits origin and character, the English have been organizing techni- cal and commercial education. A number of institutions have been opened in different parts of the coun try during the past few years; and the establishment of the new University at Birmingham, the great manufaciuring metropolis of England, marks another stage in this movement. If the ob

ject of this institution were to substi- tute a purely practical or “bread and butter’ spiritual ideal prevailed bridge,

ideal of education for the which has so long at Oxtord and Cam- it would be looked upon

with di trust and misgiving; but Birmingham does not mean to com- pete with the older universities, The new institution will not develop a new ideal of education, but give opportuni ties uf education along practical lines for practical men men who cannot secure the advantages of the eide and more genereus culture. Mr. Chamberlain, who has taken a great interest in the enterprise, says that it IS proposed to create at Birmingham a school ef universal learning, but it 'S easy to see that the new institution is devised by practical men to werk along practical lines. Philosophy, the classics, mathemathics, history, and physics will have but a small place in the teaching field of the new insiitu- tion, but the applied sciences medicine sengenry, pub.ic health, wil concentr- ate the great bulk of the leading en- ergy and force. Srecia' atten‘ion is to be paid to the departme .t_ of commer-

ciol ebucaticn commeicial law, geogra- |

phy, political economy as it relates to commerce, and the modern languages. This is a broodiy utilitarian conception and if it were aggressive, it might seem to j-opardize the higher interests of English civilization, but it is appar- ently the working down of education from the higher to the lower branches, in recognizition of the fact that not only the man in the arts and profes sions needs education but the man in business as well.—The Outlook.

WHAT IS EDUCATION ?

Herbert Spencer tells us in one short pregnant’ sentence that the tunction of educaticn is to prepare us for complete living.

A true chord is touched by Sydney Smith when he urges the im- portance of happinesss as an aid to education. He says, “If you make children happy now, you make them happy twenty years hence by the mem- ory of it.”

Equaily wise are the words of Sir John Lubbock : “Knowledge is a pleasure as wellas a power. It shall lead us all to try with Milton to be- hold the bright countenance of truth in the still air of study.”
