1. Among teachers whe teach grammar

2. Always see that written work lone neatly.
3. The teacher’s business is to heip the earner to teach himself. Avoid doing | the work for the pay: ; teach bim in su waysas will help him to teach iimselt ;

4, The veacher who is peevish or wi)
ags or scolds bis pup ls becomes a larg ortheir disrespect, end authority is dis regarded. The oae who has a sharp, ~linging longue, woo |'weaks anear no sod then, or commits ceme other personal indigcity,—provokes righteous indigna- tion and authority becomes syponomour with cruelty,
5. Mr Huxley has ssid : “ No system of education is worthy the name of na- tional, usless it creates a great education al ladder with one end in the gutter and the other in the university.”
6. Scholars should not be kept in at re- cess. It is not play alone that those so detaicied are deprived of, but of that ne« cessary physical exercise and relaxation from mental affliction which the young 80 require.
7. Itis a temptation when a pupil is in trouble with bis lesson to help him out with it, but it certainly is a mistake on the teacher’s partto give any Lelp until his pupil has first made an earacst attempt to belp bimself.

EDUCATION CF THE MASSE3,
Mr. E. J. Memory, in the last rumber of ““Brann’a Iconociast” says: “Even a little education is an exceedingly denger- ous thing and a thorough education cf the wiasees is stil] more dangerous, not o its possessore, but tothe actual, or would-be oppreseors, It i+ dangerous to the power sod i: flaence of the pol'tician who can more easily vonirol the votesofa densely igporant class of men than he caa of those who Lave the ability to think for them- selves, Popular education of the miféses 's eleo da gerous to the aspirations of the t ust magna e, railread barons, money kings, aud tne codfish aristocrats who would establish a piutocratic oligarchy on ihe rains of *he repub!:c and reduce the people toa condition of serfdom and in- dustrial tlavery. Thanks to vopuler edu- cation, the day is not far distant when the reign of the piutocrats and labor crushers wili cease, and the curled darlings and pam pered sons of !uxurg will be compelled to do their share of the work of tbe world. Learning, says Hume, is tne only remedy to igeoracce and superstition. Igaorauce and superstition have always tern the mainstay of despotism, indusirial or cther- wise,acd itis entirely due to popular education that the day of emancipation of toe masses from indus'rial servitude and despotiem wil] soon dawo. The public school is here to etay and wi! not be made a schcol for the classes instead of for the

Death Pulls the Trigger.
A man doesn’t have to
ull the trigger himself in order to commit sui- cide. He doesn’t even need a gun or any kind of weapon. All he need do is work hard and at the same time neglect bis health. Death will do the rest. Men nowadays are ail in a hurry. They bolt their food, and get indi- gestion and torpid liver. The blood gets inipure. When the blood is impure, sooner or later something will ‘‘smash.’’ The smash will be at the weakest and most overworked point. In a marshy country it will probably be malaria and chills. A working man will probably have a bilioug attack. A clerk or bookkeeper will have deadly consumption. A business, or pro- fessional man, nervous prostration of exhaustion.
It isn’t hard to prevent or cure these dis. eases if the right remedy is taken at the fight time. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery makes the appetite keen, diges- tion and assimilation perfect, the liver act- ive, the blood pure and the nerves steady and strong. It drives out all disease germs. It makes rich, red blood, firm flesh, solid muscle and healthy nerve-fiber. It cures malaria and bilious attacks. It cures nerv- ous prostration and exhaustion. It cures 98 per cent. of all cases of consumption, bron- chial, throat and kindred affections. Dr. Pierce’s Contmon Sense Medical Adviser contains the letters of thousands who have been cured.
‘I have been one of your many patients, by pking Dr. Pierce’s medicines,’’ writes Mrs. Per- tia Cook, of 140 W. 3d St., Covington, Ky. “ Your ‘Favorite Prescription’ and ‘Golden Medical

SELECTIONS,
Hurry and Dispatch.—No two things iter more than hurry and dispatch. Hurry is the work of a weak mind, dis- patch ofa etrong one. A weak man in office, like # squirre! in a cage, is labor- ing eternally, but to 10 purpese, and in constant motion withcit gettingon a jot ; like a turnstile he is in everybody's way, but etops nobody ; he talks a great deal, but says very little ; looks into everything, but sees into nothing ; and bas a hundred irons in the fire, but very few of them are hot, and with those few that are, he only purne his fingers.
Deubt the Threshold of Wisdom,— Joubt is the vestibule which all must pass before they can enter into the temple of wisdom ; therefore, when we are in doubt, and puzzle out the truth by our own ex- ertions, we have gained a something that will etey by us, and which will serve us again. But, if toavoid the trouble of the search, we avail ourselves of the superior information of a friend such knowledge will not remain with us; we have nut bought but borrowed it.
Wit Without Knowledge.—Wit without knowledge is a@ sort of cream which gathers ina night to the top, sod by a skilful band may be soon whipped into froth ; but onee skimmed away, what ap- pears underneath will be aothing but refuse,
Menta] Pleasures.—They never cloy ; uvlike those of the body, they are increas- ed by repetition, approved of by refi ction, aud strengthened by enjoyment
Importance of Punctuality.—Boileau is said to have been very exact in keeping his engagements at dinner, remarking that the quarter of an hour which a person makes a company wait for him at di sner ig employed in finding out his faults, or inventing eome for him.
The Power of Latin.—An American paper records thet Andrew Jackson was oace making a stump speech out west, in & emall village. Just as he was conclud- ing, Amos Kendall, who sat beside him, whispered, “Tip ’em a little Latin ; Geveral ; they won’t be content without it.” Jackson instantly thought upon a few phrases he knew, andin a voice of thund»r, wound up his speech by exclaim ing, “ Epluribus unum—sine qua non— ne plus ultra—multum uo parvo.” The effect was tremendous, and the shouts could be heard for mavy wiles.
The Power of ldienerse—It is a mista’e to imagine that only the violent and pas~ | sive, such as ambition and love, can tri- ampbh over the rest. I[deue-r, ianguid as -be is, often masters thew al!; she indeed influences sli our designe and actions, and inseo-ibly consumes and destroys both passions and virtues,
— 1900—
It is now opportune for teachers to ex- plaio to tuetr pupils why 1900 is nota leap year, although divisible by tour. Unier the Gregorian celendar the year Cousirts approximaely ot 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes and 12 seconds. The acenmulat- ed surplus over and aboye the 365 days amonit+, in the course uf acentury, to
24} days. Were every fourth year declar-~ eda leapyear, there would be 25 days
shortage fur+very century. The arrange- meot in practical use allows 24 leap years each tor three consecutive centuries, and then gives the fourth cen ury 25 euch (days. So the twentieth century will be ove Cay longer than the nineteenth as the twenty-fifth leap year which is assigned 10 every four h century is brought into the calendar of the year that is divisible by 400.
THE C {IME CF A CRAMMING SYSTEM.
In the January numbr of Ladies Home Journs! Mr. Elward W. Bok, bas a verv forcible a‘tiil: on the American method f educating children under fifteen years of sge. Mr. Bokesys pochildsheuld go to school before he is seven years of age, He reminds us thet yearly many thousand children are moved from echool because “their minds on aoy further inthe infernal cramming system which existe to-day in our schools. ‘‘The uufo tunate,”’ says Mr, Bok, ‘‘is compelled to spend hours in study at night, although warning bas been again and again eounded thatthe fresh mental! interest of the child of seven cannot be advantageously beld for more than e:ght consecutive miputes at a time on any one sucject. It has been proved that the heaith of the child between seven and ten cannot stand more than thirty five min- utesof study during any single twenty- four hours.”
“We ere constantly admonishing busi- }nes#@ men that they must not continue their work after nightfall. Physicians warp men of thie, aud wives echo the warning to their husbands. ‘Burning the candle at both ends’ has killed almost as many men as jiquor, say investigators. Noone will dispute the ascertion. Men por commun sense knew that night work

Ar d while the lesson is to the child exa-tiy what the businees problem is to the min, we warn men of mature growth again-t the very thing which we allow childr » todo. Whata suberbly consistent peo- ple we are, to be sure! ”
“What ro demand of our school sys~ tem is the first step, and ifa child, when he reaches the age of fifteen, has been taught to read aloud p'‘eaeantly and in- telligently, to write legibly, to spell cor- rectly, to express himself cleariy in a let- ter,tocount accurately,to use his mind himeelf, to use his fingers so that his hands will beahelp tohim in earning his living-—that is all that should be ex- pected of the child, either boy or girl. That is enough for seven years’ learning in the great formative period of life.
“There must be shorter hours and an absolute abolishment of home etudy be- fore the age of fifteen, and even after fif- teen no evening study beyond an hour,
“Our children must no longer be the prey of ignorant and censcienceless poli- \i¢ians who either contrel our boards of education or are a part of them—men absolutely unfitted for such work as that intrusted to them. Howto get there re formes for their children is the next step. They can come only through closer co- operation of home and school. The teach- er and parent must come closer together. That is the root of the presentevil. One means toward thisend lies in frequent eonferences between mother and teacher, as is the practice in one echool of which I know. The teacher must better know the timber she is seasoning.’’
EDUCATION FOR LIFE,
“Education for life!’ —asurely a worthy one. generally assume, that some studies should be dropped from the curriculum and otkers substituted. True it ia, nodoubt, that the boy will be better ejucated if he study thingsthat touch upon theevery day affairs of life than if he study things that are simply puzzles. And yet it were better by far thata boy study the inscription on # Chinese wash-~ check, and study it thoroughly and laboriousiy, than he etudy business arithmetic and natural scieoce ina ship- shod. lackadsaically manner,
Business men complain, nut that the schools fall tcoeducate young men and we- men io the intricacies of complicated book-keeping, but that they fail to tris the pupils to add accolumn of figures cv.- rectly and quickly ; not that graduates of the schoois cannot deal with profoun | problems in btsiavss management, | ut that they czonot write clearly and nea:ly a simple buriness letter and punc’uate it correctly, pot tbat they are lacking in originality and versatility but thut they do not know what it meansto do exactly what they are told.
