The child who remembers by sound will learn by heart readily, but such tasks as map-drawing are important for him---ndt for the purpose of pre- paring him for a good recitation, but in order to preserve him from'his great danger, a parrot-liké 'repetition |of what he has not 'understood or | thought about. These are" the pupils sho make .the most brilliant records in school, but often amount to no- thing in life. The community is fortunate which has a teacher who is able to instruct her pupils individually, according to their dispositions. When, however, her burdens are too heavy for her to make this effort, a mother may help her children in the work in which they are slow, by the use of games suited to their types .of mind and related to their studies. After the games are once learned.they will not need her assistance in playing them, although if she can spend ten min- utes a day to be their comrade in this occupation it is worth while to do so.

Let one child be "It" and ask®the others in turn, one for five words beginning with "th," another for five ending in ing or tion. They must answer within a given time, say while "It" counts sixty. Those who fail, after the game is over must perform any odd trick which' "It" demands of them, such as hopping across the room with legs tied together, or turning a somer- sault. ! The same game may be played as an exercise in grammar by designat- ing 'the part:of speech which shall begin or end with the chosen sound. WHAT AM I? ~ A Geography Game Each child takes th® part of some feature of the country which he is studying: It may be a river, a moun tain, a" mine, a" forest, a desert, or the cornfield next door. The River, without telling what-he is, must describe , his birth from springs, his deepening, widening waters, the changes in his shores and the crops which grow along them; his falls which give power to factor- jes and cause the growth of a city. The Mountain must describe the varying vegetation upon its slopes, the changes at the timber line and at the snow life, the birds, the beasts. The Mine, may describe the building of the shaft, the character of the ore and its uses, the lives of/ the miners. The Cornfield may tell what clover how the farmer tested the seed corm, and what its yield was. After each story is finished the children guess what the object is which has been described. The child giving the most complete and 'most truthful account .of the object which he has impersonated receives some toy, such as a top, which he keeps until he loses it to someone who beats him in a future contest. The child Ww eeps the trophy at three con- tests" becomes its owner. Mrs. Winnifred Sackville Stoner in built up @ whole system of education through games.

Love is very patient and kind and gentle: Love does not envy those whp have Better or greater gifts, but rejoices in their joy. Love is not self-conceited or boastful, but is courteous, mindful of the feelings and desires of others, preserves an even temper, and does mot bear grudges. It "thinketh no evil," that is, "does not keep account of evil done, so as to remember it and get even for it at some future fime. Love is purely "optimistic, bears the present indignity or injury, Js "ready to believe" the best and to hope for the best, and in spite of dis- strength of love.
