There is a lack of exactness, of sound and thorough training, in the elemen- tary branches at present, due to our wish to save the children, as far as we can, from bard work. Certainly there was an unnecessary amount of drilling and routine labor in the spelling and grammer classes, for instance, of twenty-five years ago ; but that labor wrought the happy result of teaching pupils to spell and write and speak the English language with accuracy and precision. Only tbe learning that we have fought for and conquered stays with us. A certain amount of plodding is essential to vigor of character. Is not the modern child less rugged and persistent than his grandfather was f Is he not inclined to weaken be- fore difficulties, and think that what is troublesome is not worth doing I Cour- age and persistence are the character- istics of pioneers, and it is sometimes said that the present generation has TEEEELE MD PQWEEf UL. i TkeT Are or Immense '>lzr aid Are Able ed with enough cold water to make a smooth pa.ste.

The teacher needs both tact and decision to enable him to begin the real discipline of bis pupil's mental faculties at the right time, and not pro- long babyhood into the period when work should be taken up in serious ear- nest. Learning ought to be made agree- able, tor anything which serves tokeep the pupil's mind in a happy condition invigorates the tone of his entire sys- tem and makes it easier tor him to ex- ert himself. But it must not be for- gotten that every new effort of the mind is, to a certain extent, essentially painful. The disagreeable stage of a labor may not be in the beginning, but it comes when some of the faculties, either tbe memory or the understand- ing, or the will, is caUe<l upon to make a new and decided effort. This is the test period, and character here either weakens or toughens accorilingly as it candy, then stir in one square of grated chocolate.
