THE HOME AND THE SCHOOL.
The Mayor of Chicago, in an address to the women of that city, recently said: “How many women are familiar with one of the greatest forces ip city life, the great army of school teachers? How many mothers know who these people are that bave the bringing up of their childreo,— whetherthey are the proper persons for the work or not? How many know any- the training of their little bs ys from the time they kies them good bye in the morning until they are greeted ai night with the question, ‘how did you get along at school, dear?’ That ien’s the wav todo.

THE IDEAL CLAS3 RECITATION,
An ideal recitation would beoae con- dueted by «s wide-sawake, enthusiastic teacher, vigorous iu mird and body. I weuld be conducted Jargely upon tke in- dividual plan, and when questions were asked, they would be addreseed to pupils without regard to their position in clase, or avy way by which the individual could tell,“Iam to be asked the next question.” Nor would the questien me- thed prevailthrougboot. Instead, a topie would be suggested and a pupil required to enlarge upon it, or a discussion would be provoked and indulged in. Thia recita- tion would be partly cral and partly writ- tes, and each member of theclass would stand or si} naturally and easily, obeying every signal er command promptly, quiet- ly and politely, giving the answer in com- plete sentewces framedin his own word-. ebiainiug permission of the teacher in every instance before venturnisg any ob- servation. During the recitativou a great deal more ascuid be learned than is found in the worde of the aveigued text Or the re- e’tation is «failure. Thronghoot ali, each pupi! ebould be kept interested aud enthu- aa-tic, without noise or flurry. Thie ie what a would cai! aa idea! recitation.
THE ARTY OF PUNCTEATION.
Punctuation ofien leads to the detection of gram matica! and of rhetorics! errors, aad, for this reasov, if for pe ether, should net be neglected. The object of of punctuation ist» shew the relatiovehip of words aed of clauses, aud to make their meavirg tobe undersivod clearly. The wo\ion thst punctuation prints are em- ployed fer the purpose« of elocutioa is an entirely erroneous one. The primal ob- ject of the points is to make the gram - mation! divisions. Unless thie otj-ct is kept in view and is acted upon, grave errors are Jinble to ensue; and not enly wil! the priociples of elocut.on be violated conttently, bot the meanings of the sen- ternces used wi'l be frequently lost or mis« naderstood. Remember that punctuation is entirely indemendent of elocutioa, aad act upou the remembrance. Teach pupils to properly pnnoctuatea!! their writien work.
There are many cases in which a change of peints completel, alters the sentiment. In proof of thie, the story ie told of as English stztesman that freed himeelf from an embarrassing position by taking ad~« vantage of this fact. Having charged an officer of the goveroment with dishoneaty’ the statesman was required by Parlia- | ment,usder a Leavy penalty, publiely to retract the accusation in the Heuse of Commons. At the appointed time, he appeared with a written recantation which he read aloud as fellows: “ I said he was diehonest,it is true; and I sm sorry fer it.” This was satisfactory ; but what was the surprise of Parliament, the followiag day, to see the recantation printed inthe papers thus: “IT eaid he was dishonest ; itis trae, and 1 am sorry for it.”
By a single transposition ef the comma and ofthe semi-colon, the ingesieus slan- dever represented himeelf te the country not only as not having made any recantes tion, but evem as having resterated the charge in the very teeth of Parliame :t.

Girls are much nicer than boya, they have long cur!s and softer skin and rosy ebeeks. Some havea few freckles, while the boys have pimples. Girls would rather have freckles than pimples. Some are very proud. Girl’s work is not so hard as boys. They help their mothers in the house to sew, to knit, and some learn to play the piano. Boys use bad words. The girls donot. Some use slang. They do not like bad boys, but like good boys.
