BESLEY 'I?* la well worth reading: "I w*s talking with a school teacher the other day, who will oertntnly com* to some bad end If he does not change his opinions, He had the audacity to hold that chil­ dren went to school not as prisoners, hat as pupils, the social equal of teach­ ers, and to obey orders because realiz­ ing that discipline advanced the inter­ ests of all. lie held that it mattered not how the pupils learned that Micli- igan was bounded on the Bouth by Ohio and Indiana, so long as they came to a distinct knowledge of the fact, and be, therefore, said to his young class in geo*rae*fi **NoW children, the President of the United States uaed to live in Ohio*aud Senator Morton,. aew dead, lived in Indiana. Tell me la what dlrectl those two States lie, from Michigan.** It Is very wrong in him, because pupils take real pleasure in looking out the answer. No pupil should be al­ lowed to search for any answer not regularly laid down in the text-books. Tills teacher ajjts another awful exam­ ple. Right in the face.of the fact that there is a school reader containing the history of William Penn and the adven­ ture* of Mary's little lamb, he takes a magazine or newspaper into his school­ room and Hayn "Now children, let one of you read this report of recent excavations in Vompeii. Before we read, let some 4»!>e tell me where Pompeii U?n Mla Italy," is the answer. "And what happened to the city?" No answer, because It was iot down Ip tlieir readers. • "It was burled by ashes' and mud . from an eruption of Mount Vesuvius." jh» sa^l, **and now. whare is that moun- tain?" "in Italy." ^Correct, and it again shows *igus 6( an eruption. We wiU now read." » In half an hour, not only one class, " but the whole school has learned geog- **l»hy, history, natural philosophy and Mmething of art in (he one lesson, and *fc«h pupil goes home to relate what y Was read, to disonse it, and perhaps to leant now facts.
