Firth. July 23â€" tf A certain minister was giving a magic lantern lecture. the subject of which was “SEen‘eS‘from the Bible.” He arranged with a sailor who pos- sessed a gramophone to discourse ap- propriate music between the slides. The first picture shown was Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The sailor cudgeled his brain but could think of nothing suitable. “Play up,” whispered the chaplain.

Egflgflwqfi The ideas gathered from each Na.- ture Lesson should be expressed in as many different ways as possible. Expression is the real 1363:. of know- ledge. Supposing the Nature lesson to be on the different kinds of roots, which are very suitable for firsc les- sons as they show variations of form; these are examined and talked about. They should be modelled. Sketches should be made of them on the black- board and on paper and they should be painted. The purpose of Nature Study is to widen the horizon of the child and to multiply his points of conscious sym: pathetic contact with his environ- ments. The tendency has been to emphasize unduly the spoken and written word and neglect the other means of expression to such an ex- tent that in some schools their place in the training of a child has scarcely been recognized at all. Few teachers even to-day are fully alive to the fact that their skill in teaching Nature and the subjects related to it depends to a great extent on their knowledge of how to use different kinds of ex- pressions to illustrate the different phases of truth being taught. By examining a thing with a view to modelling it, the senses of touch and sight are called into play. By way~of judging the child’s percept of the form of an object ask him to model it without looking at it. Much discovered by the child in his Nature lessons on fruits. roots, leaves. buds, flowers, fish and birds can well be expressed by modelling. Some view Nature Study from a purely intellectual standpomt. Na- ture study has its emotional side, and any view point which disregards this is too low from which to see, much less realize the possibilities inherent in this department of work. At first the Nature Study is an affair of the heart, and this attitude should al- ways be fostered. The happiest lives are those which have the greatest number of points of contact with the external world and which has the deepest feeling and sympathy for everything that is in it. In many schools the subject of Composition is a difficult one. The proper teaching of Nature lessons will open up many avenues through which the child can be led in a grad- ual and natural way to thoughtful expression. Nature Study and Drawing are so closely related that it is impossible to teach the one without the other, Through Nature Study the child gets ideas of the things about him; through drawing he expresses these ideas; thus thought and expression are united, and he gains therefrom accuracy of perception. But this is not the only gain, for the more accur- ate the perception the more power the pupil will have to express himself in both spoken and written language. From the first drawing as a means of thought expression should be empha- sized. If the child knows that it is possible for him to express in draw- ing certain facts about the object be- ing studied, his interest in it will be Pictures, diagrams. illustrative blackboard sketches. models, paint- ings. have their own particular place. Expression by means of the spoken or written word, important as it is, .is often unduly emphasized and Na ture lessons have been given at times, for the sole purpose of furnish- ing- subjects for word expression. Truly the field of Nature as no other field gives sc0pe for this kind of ex- pression but ideas here should not be forced upon the child in order to teach him to speak or to write. The child should speak or write because he has ideas to express. Expresion, let it take what form it may, should not bethe result of the stimulus sup- plied by the teacher alone, but should follow as the natural consequence of the work being done. and should go hand in hand with the subject of study itself. (By Miss Annie MacKenzie. ) Words are too often regarded as the only means of self expression. The teacher very often forgets that the other means of self expression are important. They often give vent to the natural bent of the child and point him at an early age to the path on which lies his life work In Na- ture it is net what we study, but how we study, that is important.

Education being looked upon as training or development of powei, in- cludes Work of any kind which gives increased power A teacher may pur sue and be much benefitted by any line of training such as a course in art. science. photography. physncal culture, gardening. games. a study of music in all its branches. a higher certificate. University work. teachers’ reading courses. and indeed anything which develops increased power. Not only is a teacher benefitted by such but a certain amount of it is necessary to prevent mental loss. Arnold said that he did not want his pupils to drink from a stagnant pool but from a running stream. hence the great mental activities in which he en- gaged to prevent such stagnation. Some years ago a man who had been teaching about ten years said to me that if a man were to settle down and become a teacher for life, stay in one school. and go on in the same old way. he would become a fossil. A short teen or twenty years was no use for anything but teaching and you all 1 know that this Opinion largely pre- 'vails. So far as my judgment is of value, a man having had such an ex- perience, and probably then in his prime, who is no use for anvthmgelse. Is not fit to be a teacher. How can a person. who has not attained an all- round development. give to his pupils an education. in Spencer’s words “A preparation for complete living”? A teacher _must carefully guard against getting into such a rut. Teachers’ con- yentions and inspectors’ visits have an influence, but the former is only once a year and the latter twice. What then are we to :10?

And teach the world. if. not perversely blind, Hts gracious attributes. and prove the share His oflspring hold in His paternal care. Nature Study, touching as it does, the soul of the child, afiords oppor- tunities unknown in any other field for the training ot facial expression and tone of voice. To cultivate the tone of voice encourage the child to imitate sounds made by animals or birds under difierent conditions. Ask the child to imitate the acrions and facial PXpressions of people as he imagines them to be under the cir- cumStances as stated by the teacher. I think this quotation shows the truth of the above. Making diflerent things is one of the simplesr. forms of eXpression, one, too, which receives the least at- tention. Possibly the reason for this is the fact that there is so much in- convenience in obtaining the mater- ial. This mode of expression should be encouraged at every possible 0p- portunity, as making furnishes a Standard to the teacher of the nature of the concept of the child. Making flowers in tissue paper, using firm pasteboard for models ofthe difierent parts of the flower, is a good exercise always; c0pying from the real flower. Cut birds. flowers and animals from magazines and papers; paste each pic- ture on cardboard and cut out the form. Place these patterns on coarse white paper; outline. cut out, then color as true to Nature as possible, with oiled crayons. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE One can distinguish an educated man by his language. There are those of us who use vulgar, profane. ungrama- tical and verbose or simple, strong pre- cise. unaffected language and these persons are easily classed accordingly. A beautiful mind is shown by its ex- pression in language and action. a strong mind by the stand taken on all subjects. Education shows itself in these most readily. A fossil mind is revealed by its thought and language. It looks at everything fl om one stand- point, is argumentative, one sided. slow to move or to change, the lang- uage or speech, the expressxon of the thought, is always the same. A course of study such as Ihave suggested. a great amount and variety of reading. â€"close, deep and studious reading,â€" results m mental activity. This de- velops individuality. originality, power of criticism. variety, reserve force, depth and places good models before one. In reading there should hea study of the greatest essayist=, the Bible, and all the great masters in prose and verse, The style, the lang- uage, the plan, arrangement, should be studied and criticized, abstracts should be written on a plan of your own, and then your own work. com- pared to the original and crit1c1zed. and'idleness are quite unnecessary. It. is worry that kills. rather than war , In such a course of study or reading care must be taken not to break down rather than build up strength. ‘Phys- ical strength must be cultivated, good plain food, plenty of exer 0188. sleep and recreation must be had at any cost. Hours of study must be regular and not too long, variety in study must he sought after, then hours of leisure an idleness alteguibe npnece'wy- .10 Then there is the University work which trains for the highest in ou‘r pro- fession. A number of Universities pro- vide meth Dds of work by correspond- ence and make the work fairly easy, quite effective, and give the same standing as to those who have actually attended. The University of Chicago has made a strikmg departure in this line. In Canada, Queen’s is affording a gteat opportunity. A teacher with a good grounding in school work can readily follow up a pass course and then bv attending a short time if desired. I can finish an honor course. But; atten- ‘ dance for some time is extremely desir- able for the culture and social develop- ment as well as for the best results in specializmg work. A degree having been secured, espec1ally an honor de- gree, the top of the ladder is within teach. The student is now an educa» ted man. self-educated and therefore he i has develoned a power not possessed by the student who has had the know- ledge ponred m by some professor. He has drawn to himself and assimilated. most thoroughly his knowledge. and} developed a two-fold power. a power to ' think and to express his thoughts. He has searched for knowledge in hooks, not had it laid down before him by the lecturer and taken down in notes. He, has had to arrange and classify his knowledge for essays and exercises and put it down in writing. His mind is strengthened and his power of self-ex- pression increased. The self-educated man, like the self-made man of any kind, is a strong rather than a cultured man, and by some is regarded as not a. truly educated man. But strength and beauty or grace go together toa cer- tain extent and each has its place.

Lesser examples are numerous. at on the other hand one who has taught faith- fully for years cares more for advance- ment in his own profession and here is the advancement nearest to his hand, especially now when the opportunities for teachers have just been many times increased.
