The Speaker called upon him to withdraw his remarks. but he refused to do so and was vored out by 316 to 26. Of the battle, at Elandslaagte it is reported:â€"-“The battle was a bril- liant and complete success. The Boers numbered 1200 to 2000 and probably had about 100 killed and 50 wounded.” The British 1088,42 killed, and 155 wounded. The number of Boers dead at Mafe- king is estimated at 700. Three battles at Gleucoe during the latter part of the week resulted in great. success to the British though many lives were lost on both sides. The Boers are determined, and are good fighters. The victory of the British at Glen- me on Friday will damp the ardor of the Boers to such an extent that the war will not be likely to last long nfrer the arrival of the large body of troops leaving England and other Possessions for ihe scene of conflict. ’i‘he chances are that the Canadian Contingent will not have an oppor- tunity to share in the glory.

Heavy losses are reported on bOth sides. but the British are getting the better of their enemies.

A good idea forjunior classes is to tell them that this lady is going to entertain us for a while so we wish to become acquainted with her. Having obtained the .name of point is very important since it throws light upon the purpose of the author in writing the piece. Having impressed the leading characteristic of the author’s life work and writings, viz zâ€"lier strong sup- port of the abolition of slavery. show how this same principle of freedom is related to this poem. Tm: DEVELOPMEXTâ€"The poem should now be readaloud 111 the teacher’s very best style, mutating as closely as possible. filo} firing r.“ OLA L _ Since it is in the junior classes that the foundation study of Literature is laid, I shall illustrate the method alluded to by dealing more particularly with lessons from the second Reader. The first selection is one which perhaps, may not commend itself to us tor great literary elegance, but which has nevertheless many excellent qualities and is, above all, a prime favorite with the children. Before presenting to the pupils, 5 the lesson " Who Stole the Bird’s Nest?”, we must first consider the . rincipal object in teaching this piece. C early is it not intended to develop a taste for the aesthetic in language, being characterized b no varied or vivid descriptions nor deicate imagery of word and phrase ; the language ; can be considered beautiful only in so far as it is clear, terse and simple. Its claim for merit rests on a different basis, and at this stage of advancement, one none the less worthy. Its chief merit lies in. the fact that it inculcates a valuable lesson and this in the guise of the storyâ€"that magic Word which appeals so strongly to the child mind. For in dealing with children we should constantly bear in mind tha “truth em- bodied in a tale shall entertain at lowly doors,” and more especially if the tale of a flight into the fairy realms of fancy. Nun:n.- J:...--___ _ 1 .l I The teacher should also carefully con- sider each individual lesson to discover the main object to be attained in the teaching: of this particular piece. some centre of interest toward which all ideas shall converge. Attention being thus cou- centrated, the various ideas will be com- bined intoa unitied whole. For example, in one poem we may lead our pupils to appropriate heroic. action, in another we may teach them to love what is beautiful in nature or language, to honor what is good or to revere what is holy. Sometimes the whole selection cannot be grasped at first by the child mind. In that case the teacher should previously analyze the lesson into its different divisions, and Dresenting one at a time, make eachfidefinite and then relate the difi'erent parts to form the whole. Beginning with the lesson as a vague whole we must endeavor to make it definite by analyzing it into its component subjects and showing the relation of each to the whole; this will be succeeded bv a minute investigation , not of the thought alone. but of the language and feeling as well. A g’reat deal depends upon the method employed. If we are to train the mental faculties, our method should he in harmony with the natural development of 5these faculties. And since the growth of intelli- gencelis from the vague to _the definite, from the unrelated to the related and from rudimentary outline to minute detail, it follows that our presentation of the subject should proceed ‘. ong the same lines. Having then clearly defined aims in view we mus} coxlslder how best we may attain the desired end. In accord with the common aim of true education, our ultimate object must be the building up of character through the de velopment of the God-given faculties im. plantedin eVery' human soul. This is [accomplished through the teaching of 1 Literature by training the mental faculties attention, memoryfand imagination: also, and perhaps in greater. measure by the training of the emotional nature, the study of Literature should create a taste for good , reading, and dexelop an appreciation of and love for noble thought expressed. in beautiful language. For us Bishop Spaldo ing in his Thoughts and Theories at Life and Education, remarks, ‘° Far more depends on what we love and what we hate, on what we hope and believe, admire and revere. than on what we think and know.” u-uâ€"J Vâ€" _-_‘v_ thant place in our Public School curricu- n‘m; and it is well for us as teachers of this subject to pause frequently and ask ourselves "What are our aims in teaching Literature?”; else having no definite ideal in view. our teaching may deteriorate into mere routine. may become but a “ dipping of buckets into empty wells and drawing' nothing up_.” _ “ The Teaching of Literature.” auger _iu Chuck.

Each verse is a complete picture. Ask the upils to tell all they see while reading the 'rst stanza, deal similarly with the other stanzas. If the pictures are at first mere outlines, question until the pupils supply all the details. Sometimes, even at first, the details are surprismgly full. For instance a little girl asked to tell what she saw in the first tines said ”I see a green meadow all dotted with yellow dandelions, and they make the meadow look bright as stars brightens the sky,” the latter thought being the picture suggested 1 by “lights up.” Hel the pupils to make the pictures vivid an then to express them in correct language, 6. g. “Mild Pinks are Slum bermg ..........................
