OUR CHILDREN.

lo view of the recent re-opening of our schools the following remarks of The Ladies’ Home Journal are timely and to the point :

iTh<re is nodoubt whatever but that we have improved in methods of teaching. Better text-books are in use aud there are more intelligent teachers in our schools. But the methods employed are still not of the best. They fall lamentably short of what they should be in some cases; in other instances they are entirely wroug aad widely at variance with what is wisest for the children. Take, for instance, the few echoole where children are taught to think. They are in the vast m/'nority, Instead, in the vast majority cf echools, they are taught to memorize. Many things

are giventhe young to memorize which are absolutely valueless to them. Their little brains are overwhelmed with a pile

of useless information rather thao trained and expanded with tne power to acquire information. It is litle wonder that in so many cases the child hates :o go to schoo!

Education is made # burden rather thao a pleasure. Irritation follows, snd the child becomes nervous, and another addition to the long iine of nervous people has been made. Modern metbods are wrong again in the fact that the majority of children are almost crue.ly pushed in their studies. Children nowadays are expected to know at eight years what a few vears ago they were not taught until they were twelve. This is ove of the most fatal tendencies in our schools. The field of knowledge is represented to be so large that the child is pushed beyond its capacity to cover as large a portiou of this vast field as possible. What isthe result? Some of our children have a smattering of knowledge, really worse thatignorance. They know nothing well ; a lotof things they know imperfect~ ly, cr, in reality, not at all. And this smattering of knowledge passes for educa. tion.”

These are words to be ** read, marked, learned and inwardly digested ” by our teachers and parents. The harm which is being done children io the States is being done children here. We ought not to blame the School Board and the teachers overmuch.

the parents.

The blame lies largely with As the journal quoted sug- gests, parents ought to get closer to the teachers of their children and ought to take a deeper interest in modern education-~ a! methods than they do. They ought» above all things, to protest against long and hard home Jessons and they ought to insist upon a reduction of tho number of studies in the public schools and thorough instruction in all tbe branches K lucaticn does not consist

THIRD SES-I0N,.

The third session of the W. F M. 8S, was held yes erday morning. After the usual devotional exercises, the minutes of the two earlier meetings were read and ape proved. The pcstponed business of yes- terday afternoon was then proceeded with, and the remaining presbyterial reporis were then read, all of which were most encour- aging. These reporis were passed, after which the recording and correspondi: g secretaries read their reports. This yeor there are 9 presbyterials, 220 auxiliaries, 24 of which have been formed this year. The total memberehip is 5,148, to which isto be added the 2,523 members of tne mission bands. The report of the secretary of supplies and the auxiliaries were urged to prepare parcels and boxes for the New Hebrides mission.

These reports were adopted and a letter of greeting read from Miss Fairbanks regretting her inability to be present. The meetiog then adjour:ed.

The evening meeting was a pub ic one, at which Rev. Mr. Fullerton of St. James Church presided. A large audience was present. Mr. Fallerton also represented the Foreign Mission Committee and in their name thanked the Jadies for the very tangible results of their interest in mission work as shown by the large amount of money raised duringthe year. Both he and Mrs. Dodge, the President, made touching references to the death of the the Rev. Mr. Sutherland, late pastor of the Zion Church. A letter was read which had been written by Dr. Geddie in 1847 on his way out tothe New Hebrides which brought vividly before the minds of those present thegreat hardships which must be endured by those who uudertake the noble work of _ etartivg a miss'on field in on uncivilized country. The presiaent, Mrs. Dolge, delivered her most eloquent address which she hai been requested to defer from tne afternoon meeting. After afew words from the Rev. Mr. Herdman the collection was takan and the meeting closed with the benedic- tion. The thanks of the society are due to the choir, who kindly rendered their ad in making tbe meeting pleasant.
