The simplest process of inductive rearoning may be developed partially by suggesting lines of thought te the child-mind, but there sheuld be no teaching, properly so called. Subsequent to this stage—ie., the stage of brain-growth—economy of mental energy is not less important than the guid- ance of such force as may be liberated, or exercised, on lines calcniated to éevelope and train the faculties fer useful work. There are exercises which are needful for what seem to be purely educational pur- poses—that is to say, for the effects they |preduce en ihe mind or brain, reflexly. | Fer example, the dead languages, the high- er mathematics, and perhaps legic, are chiefly valuable fer the ifluence they exert in eliciting and training certain faculties or forms of theught. Such exercises are, in a practical sense, among the most important to the future integrity and efficiency of the brain which the educator can employ. The mere accumulation of what is called krow- ledge ia not Lrainetraining, but brain-bur- dening, and may easily be puehed to the extreme of brain-straining, with the result of a eomplete and ruinous break-down, This is especially likely to arise when, as eften happens, there has been little or no wise training in early boyhood, and the mind or memory is severely taxed for ex- amination purposes later in youth.”

And again, by way of conclusion :

‘*A multitude of cases might be in- stanced in which boys who have not been trained for intellectual exercise at the vut- set of life have been urged or luted to make a great effort, and have been men- tally ruined in eonsequenee. No care be- stowed on the manner of work can svflice to compensate for an original lack of power, or obviate the effects os disorderly constitu~ tion, of the intellectual apparains and functions. It is no more possible to make an intellectual giant of a mental dwarf than it would be to develop a Hercules out of a mannikin. By the artifice of mind forcing and ‘cramming,’ the memory—a low-class faculty often prominently develoyed in the ease of idiots may be made to retain fer a time the necessary material for exhibition at some examination table; but if the un- developed mind is incited to intellectual action in the process, the result must be untoward. The untrained boys who sur- vive the proeess of forcing and cramming, and retain their mental health, are for the most part those of somewhat obtuse and in- tensive cerebral capacity, who take in their knowledge as beasts of burden carry a load —without either interest or werry. A sensitive boy, who has been untrained, will feel his inefficiency so acutely while his memory is being loaded with unappro- priated information, that he will fret and worry until he falls ill, either before or after the requisite quantity of ‘ learning’ has been deposited in his memory. There can be no such thing es real brain werk without power, and such power implies mental traming following upon healthy growth. It is iv practice a grave error to suppose that any brain may be ceveloped

ny mere exercise. The result of an at- tempt to develop it by this agen¢y— especially in advanced youtlh—is more

likely to ruin than (o improve it ”

A Brirp’s Scicrpr.— Last autumn Mr. W. 8. Sturgis arrived in Providence, from Leicester, England, and brought with hiin a fine Belgian Canary. Soon after his arrival he purchased a female for a mate, and the two birds lived together in great harmony. On Sunday of last week the female suddenly sickened and died. The Leicesier bird appeared to grieve deep- ly over the loss of his mate, refusing all nourishment. Monday be was seen stand- ing upon the edge of the bathing tub, in an atutude of grief, and not long after was found lying at full length in the water, dead—an undoubted case of suicide from grief.
