The teacher, as Dr. McMillan points ou’, in laying down the curricu- ' has no par | | 'lurn; be has no discretionary power in ™ jiowing it out, snd can make no allow~ ance for the dall pupil or the nervous | pupil, but must resort to the cramming process When examination time approach- k es. No matter whata pupil’s particular pe matter what hie ineur- mountable aversion, all the children must be puttbrough the same course, and it bears on all of them most heavily at a period in their lives when the changes j 'ecident to pubertv are a tax upon their | reserve powrr. The result, in too many iastances,is to engender neurasthenia ; | the child is positively handicapped instead of being #trengthened for his coming fight fora livelihood. “The curriculum,” says Dr. McMillan, “‘should be prepared for pupils of average mental ability and aver- age bodily vigor, or rather for those below the average.” Rudimentary education is all that the community should set peremp torily before the mass of children. Those who bave the capacity for more advanced instruction are few in number, and their aspirations my weil be met by a few high schools. The born geniuses will find a way to attain suitable acquirements in learning, if only the radiments are taught them: they cannot be held down. Their ad vance, however, will be in lines of their own ¢boosing, and netin the grooves laid down by boards of education. Under the present system too much work and, y may add, a great dea! of it disitaetetu', i- imposed upon the immature brain of the child. This is wrong. Our edaca iona! methods should be reformed. > ©. NOTES AND COMMENTS. —General Buller has issued an officis] comment on the charge made by the Reuter Telegram Company that the Boers disregarded the rules of civilized warfare at Modder River. General Buller says: “Tt isnot contrary to civilized warfare to shoot horsee, but it is contrary to honor- able conduct to abuse a brave enemy.” —It has been remarked that as a mat- ter of fact, Eogland lost more men at Albuera or Alma or Chillianwalla thao have yet been killed or wounded in the entire South African campaign, while, in comparison with the bat les at the begin- niog of the century, she has scarcely sus- tained any losses atall.

The Greenway-Sifton party in Mani- toba made the provincial contest in an especial sense a contett against Sir Charles T ipper. By the Winnipeg organ it was snnounc- ed that Hugh John was the leader of the Opposition, because Sir Char'es had ap- pointed him. *To vote for Macdonald,” it said, “is to vote for Tupper.” “Vote against Sir Charles Tupper on the Tth of December,” it added. The issue thus made has been decided, and Sir Charles, according to the organ, shares in the great victory. It shows the popularity of Canada’s grand old man, and is a foretaste of what 8 to come.—Mail and Empire. ele tire tect ete hi tomar a A nice mueffir is the correct thing, bes sides being warm on your neck.
