PICTURES -IN “RHE SCHOOLROOM.

The value of pictorial illustrations in the schoelroom cannot be over esti- mated. However clear, graphic, and! interesting oral illustration may be, tor children whose-knowledge of things is limited, it must be supplemented by p-ct ». fal ilbystrations.

Pictures are part of school apparatus asessential as maps. No teacher thinks of teaching Geography} without the aid ofa map. Yet nothing is in- telligently taught of Geography through a map, except a general sense of lo cation, and possibly of distance. Geo- graphy needs picturesto make it intel. legible. History needs the aid of pictures; as of historic incidents, of dress and architecture different periods &c. Natural History can scarcely be taught without the aid of pictures, as animals, plants &c.

Among the manygdvantages of using pictures in the school are (1) they save the use of words, (2) they convey bet- ter ideas than mere words, (3) they can be made to represent so many things which the child will never see in reality, (4) they are convenient sub- Stitutes for objects, machines, &c. of which comparatively so few can be brought into school.

I would advise every teacher to secure a few dozens of the Perry Pic- tures which are reproductions of the

works of the greatest artists of the world. Their use in the schoolroom cannnot failto be of the greatest ad- vantages and interest to children. These pictures are sold at the smali sum of one cent each. They are pub- lished by the Perry Picture Company, Malden, Mass. I understand that Mr. Charles J. Mitchell, Bookseller, Char- lottetown, keeps a fuli line of the Perry Pictures in stock. Every teacher who visits the city should call at Mr. Mitchell’s and inspect them.

TERROR.

NATIONAL

A writer in “Cornhill” gives some humerous notes of English school ex- aminations. Apparently national char- acteristic came out as vividiy as indi- vidaul ones, at these encounters he- tween the learned and the unlearned.

One day, an examiner was listening to a class of Irish boys, in London, as the repeated McAulay’s ‘‘Horatius.”

“Would three soldiers, nowadays,” he asked “be likely to hold a_ bridge against a whole army ?

“No, sir.” the boys answered.

‘‘Would three Englishmen, for ex- ample?” he continued-

“No, sir,” saii the class.

“Would three Scotchmen ?”

They again dissented.

“Would three Irishmen ?”

“Please, sir, “shouted an excitable little fellow, ~““one Irishmen would do a

SPARE MOMENTS. An awkward boy came to the resi-

“You wanta breakfast, most like,” said the servant, setting him down to some bread and butter.

“Thank you,” said the boy,’ shouid like to see Mr--—, if he cin see me,” “Some old clothes, maybe, you want; I guess he has none to spar. he gives away a sight,” remarked the girl, eyeing his ragged clothes.

‘May |] see Mr——?” asked the boy with the most emphatic emphasis on each word.

The girl forthe first time stopp2d her work. “Well, he is in the library. If he must be disturbed he must, [ s’pose;” and she whisked off to the room, remarking as she opened the door, ‘“Here’s -somebody _ terrible anxious to see you, sir,so I let him .

‘The professor laid dewn his book and ta:ked with the boy -with "increas- ing interest and soon took down some books and began to give him an ex- amination, which , extended even to Greek. Every question was .answered p-omptly and correctly. The professor was amazed, and asked the boy how

he tr. anaged, with hlsapparent poverty to accumulate such an amount of | knowledge.

“Oh, I studied in my spare time, | answered the boy brightly, uncenscious | that he was an example even to the | man before him.

He was a boy, a orphan, almost fitted for college Spare moments that his companions | were wasting. Truly, spare moments are the goid-dust of time.”

THE IDEAL HIGH SCHOQL,

At a meeting of educationists held in Boston some time ago, Mr. Edwin P. Seaver, Superintendent of tne City- Schools, gave a discourse on the above subject. The following are some ex- tracts from this excellent address which is replete with suggestions, as to the improvement of high schools .curricul- ums.

“First of all, our ideal high school will be a school for development of individuality. twill not atteinpt to} mold them ail to one pattern, nor to fil all their minds with thesame.choice ! but iimited assortment of useful know- ledge.

One uniform course of study, com®' posed of a little of this and a little oi that and a little of whatever else may be considered important for an eduwcai- ed person to know, will no longer be our educational fetich. For we. shal: then understand and accept the dact- | rine that education comes not so much | from what.one studies as from how he studies; that interest in study iather than the thing studied educates.

ur school, therefore, will offer not one course, but many courses. Or rather it will offer instruction in many branches freely open for all to cnose from. Each student will f-ame his own course of study by choosing what b:anches he pleases, as many or as few as ne pieases, and for as many _ years as may suit his purpose or circuimst

ances. ‘This choice wil not be made at random. It will be made in con- sut.ion wh parents, or under the

advice and guidance ofteachers. but no teacher will fell in duty bound to influence this choice for convenience ot school administration. The interest of the individual student will outweigh all else, and the school will recegnize this.

“The student who takes but a few studies at a time will not suffer by com parison with other students who take ] more studies at a time, for class stand- ing will be no more. All artificial inducements te industry will 1 ave been done away. The whole interest and energy of each student will be concentrated on the particular subject he has choosen to study. His one aim will net be to keep pace with his class, but to master thoroughly his subject of study. Histeacher’s effort will be to hel» him in the work he has chosen to do, not to drive him through

“Under this free choice of studeies every student assums largely tee direc- tion of his own education. The, re- sponsibility of making sauch or little

ot his oppertunities rests chiefly with

for commercial employment. It may be that his time is very short and that book-keeping is about the only study he can afford the time to take. In our ideal school he will be permitted to take this study in his first year, and not be obliged to wait till his second or third year, and meanwhile expend much efforts on other studies which are beside his purpose.

“Why should he be obliged to spend a year on algebra, and history, «ni botany and a foreign language betore reaching the study he chiefly wishes to take? And when he has reached this study in his second year, why should he still be obliged to spend the maj r part of his time studying more mathematics, more history, more natural scjence and more foreign language? Is ii that he may get ‘an all around education,’ or that he may not be permitted to grow ‘narrow-minded or ‘mentally onesided ,by attending to only one subject of study?

‘‘In the new school no rupil will be expected to sacrifice time or inclination to the demands of an established course of study. But the pupil who has no definite purpose to govern. him in his choice of studies—will not a predetermineb course of study adapted to the so called average mind, be the best forhim? No Let him assume a pu pose if he have it not, and thus learn to become responsib'e for his own education-

‘The ideal high school will be school for development of high scholar ship. Theteachers will carry their acquirements to much higher standard than are now within reach. This will be a consequence of the free choice of studies. Under our present present system a student must learn a little of
