There is no s^f^ty in sending

money to their children at schoolshould > remember this. Send a bank
check, a draft or a post office money
order, but never enclose money in let­

HOEMAL SCHOOL MOiTOl^
In another column will be found an'
advertisement of these .mottoes.. It
will be seen that ^ they contain ' more
mattertlian any other set,,of mottoes.
The mottoes'consist of complete sen*>
tences, notof fragmentfe. .Each one is,
designed to have an: inOuence in pro­
moting the inl^restSj^of t^e ,,ischp6l^.,
They can be used in several ways.
One method of use is as follows:
Keep the mottoes in your desk.
Whenever ^ytbittg- goew
school bring but a; motto ^plic^i^
to the ca^e in hand; Place it before
the school. Head it. Hlustrate if by
a suitable story. Apply it to the case
in hand. Return the motto| tC the
desk again and bring out anothei
when needed.

Study. -

Joha Ogden says: "Probably on^
half of the time devoted to study by
scholars at school is either altogether
lost or worse than wasted.”'
The time is lost by improper modes
of study. The whole attention should
he fixed upon the.subjectof study. No
wandering thought should be harbor­
ed. The thought expre^d in the
words of the text book s^uld be seixed. The ideas expressed should be
grasped. The relation of* the. ideas
should be noted. The whole subject
should be mastered once for all. .
Hard study affords pleasure. All
study should be so conducted as to
plSasant. Every period of study should
M well impi‘<»^‘'
who wastes aa
hour loses an opportunity for Improve­
ment which will never return.
No study should be continued longer
than during the vigorous action of the
mltad. Weariness produces weakness.
Protracted effort may weaken the men­
tal powers. Whispering In study Imurs
distracts .the attention and weakens
the intellectual powers.
Habits.
"blessed ^8 the man whose habits
are his friends.” A person can form
any habit he desires, and can break up
any bad habit. Resolution and persevenuice will enable him to do it. All
persons have some habits which they
would like to be free from. All lack
some habits which they would like to
have. What habits should a young
man form which will prove his friends?
1. The habit of Truthfulness,

—What a man can write out clearly,

of books or notes, that he knows;

Whatever you try to do in life, try
with alt your heart to do well; what
ever you devote yourself to, devote
yourself to' completely ; in- great ainrs
and small, be thoroughly in earnest;
Never brieve it bossible that, any natu rair or im proved abil i ty can o1 ai m i m
munity from the companionship of the
Steady, plain hard-working qualities,
and hope to gain: its end. There is no
such thing as fulfillment cm this
earth. Some happy talent and sonle
may fo*m the
men m^nt, but ITie fot^ds” of tlfat
ladder must be made of stuflTto stand
wear and tear; and there is no substi­
tute for thorough going, ardent and
sincere earnestness. Never put one
hand to anything on which you can
throw your whole self, never affect de­
preciation of your work, whatever it isi,
These you will find to be golden rules.

conclude that whatever defects in our
schools we see and lament are due, not
to these externals, but to some fault in
ourselves, the teachers. We believe we
are wanting in knowledge, in enthu»
siasm, and in devotion.
First, knowledge. To teach with
power, the fullest knowledge is an abt
solute prerequisite. The subject must
be mastered. For tbe teacher above all,
a little knowledge is a dangerous
thing.” Nay, it i» almost a ^lal thing
—dangerous for hjs pupilsas well as for
himself, if he does not know it is little;
and well nigh fatal to his efficiency, if
he does know it. For Cobscious igno­
rance benumbs the faculties, chills all
ardor, repressed all enthusiasm, and
begets feebleness, awkwardness, and
embarrassment. It shrivels the soul,.,
and fetters the tongue.

splratiqn, and takes the very life and
spirit away. ’
,
The subject must be worked out by
patient, protraeted, original research,.
It must penetrate and permeate the
mind, it must tie wrought Intd its very
fibres. Then, and not till tnen, cad
knowledge be freely and spontaneously
reproduced. This Is the first funda­
mental condition of really effective^’;
sudeessful teaching, and in just this re.,
Spect is the cause of failure most fre­
quently to be sought., ,
; It is the office of the instructor to /
htipart knowledge.; But this Is notthe
main purpose,'The teacher must abjve
