Chaviottetown, Jaue 14, 1889—eod why On the morning of every school day there euters the public schools of Primce Edward Island almost as great a number of girls as boys. Each previous year, et Our conven- tions, we have given boys our special atten- tion. Ithink it but fair that we should now consider our girls, amd ascertain \whether or not we womem teachers are doing or being all we can, 9@ that in the days to come, when the greaé lists are made up, there may be found among those taught by us ‘tof honourable women not a few.” While the sight of a large number of children of either sex is always an impres- ‘sive one, yet the sight of a large number of 'girla bout leaving school is especially so to one atall thoughtful. We can but say, as ‘they leave us, year after year, ‘‘Cirant Heaven, that early love and truth may never wholly pass away. | Unless a woman is Wery apathetic, she tires of the endless satire on the novel- ‘reading, piney arn girl; or the girl e who can quote Latin or French readily, but who has ne kaow e of the duties of everyday life; and ig glad to know that each of these represemts a very small class, that most women 4re | of as much common sense as their brothers, and that if well guided and tr#ined to habits of self- dependence, they arg equally able to fight the battle of life. ~ It goes without sa here place a high e g that all assembled inate on the value to the world of a , refined, educated womanhood; that aJl have their ideal lady, or, to yse the ald word, gentlewoman. i This is neither a Mary Queen of Scots, g With her wonderful beauty, nor a great nor &!

That has all beea proven long im'ruding any religious opivion peculiar to ‘Elizabeth with her scholarship, noble womanhood—one possessing great talent, another very little; hut all are those or il. are—ond Stdénding as I do in the halis of this girls’ schooi every day, I thank God for sll that they are — docile, happy, healthy, bright, and anxious to please. ‘They come vo us at five or six years of age and their material interests at least careful- ly.guarded,...vou may have noticed that lit.ie girls arehappier in the first. days of schuoi life than boys; their powers of ob- servation are stronger, and they use them mvve. The something called manner in a chiid at first attracts our attention; we can at once know the surroundings of his home- life and what his mental attitude towards his fellows, li too self-conscious, shyness or awkwardness will appear; if he thinks the world and all that is in it was made for him, he will show that also. We will all acknowledges that there is nothing more unpleasing in a girl than _ boisterous- ness of manner, nor nothing more pro- voking than to hear her speak in fretful, nasal tones, using slang expressions. If the girls have good manners, the boys are sure to have them too ; therefore, I think that we teachers ought to be ever watchful in this direction. One of the most cultured women of our time writes on this subject : ‘* Burke said that manners were more im- portant than laws; manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or de- base, barbarize or retine ua by a steady, uniform, insensible operation like the air we breathe.”” Commenting on this she says ; ** He did not mean the manner of the fashionable men to the beautiful women, nor alone the polished etiquette of the drawing room, but the habitual manuer of the fortunate to the unfortunate, of the poor to the poor, patient, of the landlord to his tenant, of one old woman to another old woman, and In short, the making people whom we meet as happy as possible, furgetting or repress- ing ourselves, gives us a claim to be called the possessors of good manners.” tesy or self-repression. teachers forgive me if I say ‘that 1 believe we too often, in common with our sex, confound reproof with scolding, and so do much to retard what we wish to develop. We must acknowledge that women have an inclination to scold. Solomon, you remem- ber, expressed a preference tu dwell in either the corner of a huuse-top or a wilder- ness than to dwell within the reach of an angry woman's tongue. We notice merry their happy veices; in contrast, tu hear ‘some older women talk im the high key ‘that indicates a pertarbed spirit is not pleasant. But if sacther secld at home, ‘and the teacher scvid iu the sch olroom, the bright succession of scolding women will go on forever. la spits of aanvyances, failures and overwork, ict us ii at cheer- j\fulness of manner and kiudliness of tone, lwhich are powers everywhere Tecuguizea. | Let us notice how our pupts behave to each ‘other, their attitudes, their iscner of entering and leaving the roum, remember- ing that often these lite things are left jsoliely to the teacher ; let us keep back, if | possib.e, the forward, encourage the shy, jand erideavor to make the awkward feel ‘less il! at ease. | Itis very important that a girl should be It is delightful to ‘manner, with modulated tones. } ‘contrast to the bird-hke chirp and minced words of one trying, as the children say, ’ sirable ; but there is no reason why a sen- sible woman should think, because her voice is low, it must also be so indistinct as not to be beard at any distance if she speak in public. We can do much towards im- provement in this respect, besides being careful of our own manner of talking, by being watchful in the reading class of the vowel sounds, of change of tone, of the local mispronouncing of words, of drawls peculiar to a family or families. The use of slang or vulgar sayings by a teacher is more unpardonable than the use of false syntax. Custom has given boys a license with speech which is fast being taken by the girls. I read in an educational journal lately the opinions of a prominent pro- fessor on the subject of pure speech; he hoped that the universities would its interests, and thought that eventually it would come down to the common schools. It may be seen at a glance that it is the other way we must look for reform. If we express our thoughts in pure simple language, avoiding exaggerations and abundant superlatives, we will do much to counteract the the effect of such expres- sions as ‘‘awfully jolly,” *‘simply immense” which the girls hear on all sid-s from those from whom we might expec better. But you will think as you hear all this, that I am putting the effect before the cause; that correct speech and womanly deportment are but the results of a crua education. J grant all this. Conven- tional refinement may for a time conceal vulgarity of nature and the lack of genuin- ness ; but the manrers which we ought to strive fur may not be taught as a science or art despite the prominence given them in a boarding school curriculum. ‘*Manner and speech are only for the eye and esr; we are not content with pantomime; we want rea! relations of the mind and heart; we want knowledge, we want virtue.” The day is furever gone when there is any of the doctor to his! of the universal courtesy of man to woman, groups of girls, and are delighted to hear: longer a doubt that « girl has equai rigiits Yet there are meny to-day who | BO. working, sewing, and domestic : think lecge,” is a question we have to auswer too ‘to ask why teachers are required to knuw | what seems ‘to some so useless. Would it not be well to ask whether any girl who successfully has prosecuted her studios in the public schools, has not acquired habits hard work which will remain with her | always, and which she could have acquired ‘in nv other way. But there may be silent influences at work in our scloolrooms which tend to undervalue the ability to perform the every-day duties of a worian’s home-life. There are gome, who ins‘ead of regarding acquired knowledge as a rich Creator and the ennoblement of life, use it as a tower from which to look down on others. Perhaps unconsciously we cause girls to whom Geometry and advanced Arithmetic are sealed bovks, to feel that they are failures. Let ug impress on these girls the fact that there are ‘* diversities of gifts,” all of which are equally necessary to the well being of society, and that it is just as highly praise to have it said ‘‘she looketh well to the ways of her household” when it is said, as that *‘she openeth her mouth with wisdom,”—and that these two and the same woman. We can do much by word and action to show the difference be- tween a drudge and one who glories in being called a working woman, and that the work a woman is fitted by God to do, whether in the kitchen, parlor, shop or schoul-room is the work respectable for her to do. Bye and bye, when we cali that society ‘‘ good” in which ‘sense, sim- plicity, knowledge and therough good meaning abide,” we will tind more who are willing to be trained to manual work or the work they can best perform, because i} they will not then be excluded from ming}l- ing with those whom they recognize as itheir equals, Let us teach our giris to ob- ‘serve the laws of health.

Let us have singing in the schools by ail means.

Moosre’s *ihou Art, Q God,” Pope's ‘univeral hymn, Sarah Adams’ * Nearer ‘My God to Thee,” Charloite Eilwt’s ** Thy will be Cone” voice the sentiments of all who adore—no matter«f what cicei.

But like every good thing it may be overdone ; it is so natural that a girl who has spent hours in endeavoring to trill and to reach the high notes, should, when left to her- adif, choose her song witha view to show the result of her long and careful practice aud thus lose sight of the main object of music, I think we should encourage the girls who have not the advantages of a musical training but who have voices attuned tu sing, to usethese voices, telling them that to the woman who wishes to increase the happiness of her world there is no more powerful aid than the gift of song. Songs which children love, which southithe sick and the dying, are simple songs, are easily learned aud appeal to the heart as well as to the ear. Girls and boys «will read story-books, will use their imaginations, no matter who ery out against their following their inclina- tions in this respect. We are glad to notice such publications for girls as Atalan- ta wnd the Girls’ Own, and hope the day will soon come when they will be within the reach of all. There is much we might do to prevent the forming of depraved tastes if we would seek to guide the home-reading of the girls— if we would recommend to the younger girls such books as Louise M. Alcout’s, Mrs, Wh:tney’s, and Marie Edge- ‘worth’s; to the older pupils Dickens’ David 'Coppertield, Little Dorrit, Old Curiosity | Shop, and many others of lke kind. We have never closed any one of these books without feeling a desire to be | more unselfish, to be true ‘women. Then why not lead out pupils te the }source of 30 much happiness, whose effect is 80 good and beautiiul. In this way we are enlightening and elevating the moral inature which is the one thing to be accom- i plished, supposing all e'se be neglected. Without lecture or sermon, or cant, or ‘ourselves, we must show that truth aad purity anc the reliance on Him who alove ‘who have nailed all self to the cross and! economy should have uppermost places in , 18 #ble to help to keep thone, are the price- lost themaelves in the love of their kind.”j the school course; they complain that our lees possessions which, if a woman have not, I know, tvo, there is nothing that wil] make! schools, instead of helping a girl to use her ishe 18 like a ship without a pilot on the a woman wish for larger, nvbler life tor! hands, hinder her from using them. ‘*Why 8re*t sea uf life. herself and a greater self-control thanto,should a girl study Latin, French and} ' feel that she is surrounded daily by those’ Mathematics, if she is not going to be a | hastily written, I see I have not said what whom she must influence for lasting good/ teacher and make money by her know- |/ would like to have said; but, if any lu looking bick over what I have too ‘thought given here will make the school “Our girls”—-we must take them as they often.
