LITeRSTURE IN THE SCHOOLS

Question Discussed by the Teachers’ institute.

(MR. OXENHAM'S REPORT CONTINUED. )

Questions from the question box ais- cussed, First question was read: ‘* What

can our Schools do to encourage the circu- i lation of literatare ?”

Me. R. H. Campbel!—-Mr. Clow, in bis

\paper, suggested that in connection with jevery school a good scavo! hbrary should | be established. The idea is a good one. | The question as to how guod literaiure can | best be circulated is a very important one.

After leaving school the chief portion of a boy’s reading isthe newspaper, or novels of avery inferiorcass Ic seems tu me that, wih respect to creating a taste for

‘good iitterature, there 1s a great defect in jour methods of teachiag After leaving {school ch:liren sem tuo think that their

studies are Completes, and that it is a waste f time to read gwd suvlid books. The re- sult is that they seldum read good litera- ture. Now, | ihink teachers. should en- Jeavor to impart instruction in such a way that tasir pupils will acquire a taste forthe best literature. Ths best authors should be placefl in their hands. But another dititculty arises : in meny hemes there is pot to be found a single volume of geod iterature This» cu'd be remedied by a good school library. Ie our schools we have been analyz'og Longfellowa’s ** Evan- geline,” and tustead of dealing with the beauty of rhe literature we have been deal- irg with the analysis and parts of speech. In doing this, I frequently think thst we are really giving the children the husks and throwing away the kervel. In this way their taste for really good literature is spoiled at its introduction. We should certainly Jet cut pupi's see the beauties of the piece before we begin to ‘take it apart in analysis.

Mr. Seaman, from the business com- mittee, presented their report on the amount ef literature which sould be set for entrance examination for the Normal Schvol as follows :

‘Your committee, after considerable dis- cussion, adopted the following resolution :

Resolved, That the Association recom- mend and respectfully suggest that the lit- erature from the Sixth Reader be limited tu that portion of the book extending to page 200, snd that the parsing and analy- sis be from the second part of Evangeline.” Mr. Ives, continuing the discussion on the qarstion under consideration, said : To some extent I agree with Mr, Campbell. When I commenced analysis in ‘*The Lady of the Like,” I found that ic gave me power to pl] poetry to pteces, but gave me no taste for the literature itself. | think, however, that a great deal might be lone by the teachers towards giving their pupils a taste for the best authors, by showing them the beauties of the piece chey are about to analyze. It has been said that there shoull be sehool libraries. This is very true; but very few schools have them. In my own school I have re- commended good books, and advised the pupils to read them, such as Ivanhoe, for instance. The result has been that I have had cecasion to ask them to lay those authors aside during the school hours, If [lend them a book which Lf have appre- ciated they very soon acquire a taste fur it. 1, therefore, leave good beoks and papers within their reach, so that they may peruse them. The result is that they sometimes ask to’be permitted to take them home, and are allowed to do so. It is deplor- able that so litcle interest is taken by the people generally in really good literature.

Mr. N. MclLeol—My experience coin- cides almost exactly with chat of Mr. Ives. { purchased a copy of Tom Brown at Rugby and loaned it to my pupils for their perusal, The resuit is that it is still going the rounds. _I believe it to be a great mistake to saddle all the analysis on the most beautiful portions of our liter- ature. such as Evangeline. Instead of feed- ing on the dry analysis only, the pupils should be Zmade to feel that they are coming in contact with our very best liter- ature. No young person should forma distaste for our best masters. Instead of

study of analysis, would it not be better to txke up prose, such as-the works of John luskin, for instance, which contain the very spirit of the best authors? The read- ing of such authors assists us in improving our style of expression. 1 hope that the suggestions made by this convention re- specting this matter will be duly considered at the Education Office. If so, it may be remedied to the advantage of all concerned.

Miss Snaddon.— My experience is that by analysis and paraphrasing, my pupils come to understand the best poets, and that they do not understand them till they begin there.

troduced it was considered that a great ad- vance was made, and that it was just what was wanted. It now seems that analysis does not just meet the requirements of the case. I think there is very much in what Miss Snaddcn has said respecting her pupils, that analysis helps them to under- stand the meaning of the best authors, and that if we do not use it in such a way as to attain that object, we have failed. I have always recommended my pupils to read the best authors, and have, to a certain extent, succeeded.

Mr. A. D. McDonald—The formation of a good school library should be undertaken wherever possible; but it is often difficult to procure the necessary funds for that purpose Many schools have good libraries, however, and it would be well if others followed ghe example thus set them. With respect to analysis and parsing, I think we have partly

using the plays of Shakespeare for the"

lost sight of the objects sought to be attained by them. I think the chief idea should be to analyze the thought of the author, apart | from the mere operation of the analysis, his, in my opinion, is necessary to give the pupil a thorough knowledge of analysis end parsing. It has been admitted that we have dene very much to starve the pupils instead of giving them a taste for pure literature. This, in face of the fact that they are appealing to us to give them something good to read. No teacher who has introduced to his pupils « beautiful poem, ahd shown them its beauties, has not been surprised at the effect which it his had upon them. When readi»y the Lady of the Lake, Tennyson, on Longfellow, I always receive the closest attention from my pupils. As a matter of fact, more time should be spent in showing the beanty of the literature instead of spending it a!l upon the analysis,

What Canada is Asked to de

(The Empire.)

What is Canada beseeched to do by the Opposition ?

To put at the head of affuirs Mr. Laurier, a weak politician at the best, who has fer tive years been in intimate assuciation and relationship with Count Mercier and the other boodlers, who has seen all the ex- ploiting of Quebec funds going on under his very nose without raising a finger to stop it; who, on the eve of the general election last March, made a corrupt bar-

‘gain with Mercier, as stated in Parliament

the other day by Mr. Dalton McCarthy, that if granted power he wou!d increase tlie provincial subsidy in return for the politi- cal assistance of the Provincial Premier, whose election protests against Conserva- tive members of Parliament in Quebee have been paid for in pare by the money stolen from the Baie des Chaleurs railway funds ; whose party organist is Pacaud, and whose aim andend is power—at any price, on any terms,

Would an administration so headed be likely to guard the interests of the people / What guarantee would the country have that Mercier would not be taken in as Min- ister of Public Works, just as the same party in times past elevated Cauchon to Cabinet rank after accusing him of all the crimes in the calendar! Knowing as we dothe system by which Reform Govern- ments in the provinces kept themselves in oflice: by raising large bribery funds from officeholders and tavern keepers, by gerry- mandering the constituencies and other unworthy methods; would aot the same thing be repeated, only on a larger scale, in the federal arena /

These may be unpleasant truths, but are they not absolutely and literally correct ? The proposition is to fasten on the public treasury of the Dominion the whole hungry brood ef Mercierites, and the half-famished army of hangers-on in Ontario, who have just been able to sustain life on school- book contracts and supplies for public in- stitutions, and who pant for fresh woods and pastures new. The proposition is to reproduce on a larger scale the Mercierism of Quebec, and che Hardy-Rossism of On- tario, licensing these unscrupulous poli- ticiaus to practice unchecked on wider lines all the disgusting operations which have utterly annihilated the once great Liberal party in the other province, and which have, in this province, driven many honest reformers into disgust and despair, Canada is asked, besides, to reward men who have persistently depreciated the country who have framed a trade poliey which pro- poses to transfer the control of our com- mercial system to Washington, to cut adrift from Great Britain and place discriminatory duties on ber goods. Canada is asked to trust men who once before nearly ran the national ship on the rocks, who promised solemnly to “elevate the standard,” but who to incapacity added the grievous sin of hypocrisy, who even now take their policy from a foreign country, and have driven the best men in their ranks into retirement.

There is no chance of Canada acceding to such a request, for it would mean national suicide; it would be trusting men who do not deserve to be trusted; it wonld be putting a premium on disloyalty, incempetence and misgovernment.
