After the games are once learned they will not need her assistance in playing them, although if she can spend ten minâ€" utes a day to be their comrade in this occupation it is worth while to do so.i BUILDING A HOUSE An Arithmetic Game One child is a builder and is putâ€" | _ The motorâ€"minded childrenâ€"those , depending on muscular exertionâ€"can . copy their words on paper over and | over again. The same idea is applicâ€" _ able to other lessons. In the case of | geography, for instance, the motorâ€" minded children will need to fix their places in their minds by drawing maps of them, whereas the visualâ€" ;m'{nded will see imaginary maps in | their minds automaticaily as soon as | they read or hear about places, and | will not need for the sake of memory the exercise of drawirg them, alâ€" ’though for manual skill, neatness, and accuracy the exercise remains | valuable to them also. 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 The child who remembers by sound will learn by heart readily, but such tasks as mapâ€"drawing are important for himâ€"not for the purpose of preâ€" paring him for a good recitation, but in order to preserve him from his great danger, a parrotâ€"like repetition of what he has not understood or thought about. These are the pupils who make the most brilliant records in school, but often amount to noâ€" thing in life. _ After some experimenting she can determine to which type each pupil belongs, and the method of preparâ€" ing lessons cam be suggested to each individually. For _ instance, oug group, the visualâ€"minded, may study their spelling in silence fnem the‘ book; another group, those depending on soundâ€"memory, may be sent as far out of earshot as possibleâ€"into a second room, if the school has oneâ€" and read their words aloud together in a low voice. j To these three classes ought to be added, perhaps, a fourthâ€"which, in reality, is the one to which most of us belongâ€"where all these three types of memory work together. Howâ€" ever, it will be found, even so, that one type rules ~over the others, and is the surest approach to our underâ€" standing. Even in an ungraded school there is no reason why these three types of children should not be taught each in the manner which helps him to remember best. At first it may apâ€" pear to complicate the work of the overtaxed teacher, but the results are likely to be so good that she will be saved much going back over the same ground in the effort to bring| slow minds up to grade. facts in on their minds by muscular exertion. They know how to spell a word only after they have written it, and when they must spell it aloud after a lapse® of some hours their muscles seem to write it out for them invisibly; as they speak, their hands and wrists move as if forming the letters. These children ought to be given a groat deal of written work, and should have opportunity to make things which illustrate their studies, like maps, blobes, flags, and simple pictures.

Weeds uge up a lot of moisture and m'e"weeSs grow all the time, they must be kept out. A good way to acgomplish all this is to put oneâ€"third of the ploved area of the farm in corn, p:tatoes or summer fallow( must he lojt clsan and plowed in June), sad the other twoâ€"thirds in grsir.

Fairly deep plowing opens up the soil so rain can soak in more readily. Plenty of vegetable matter helps hold moisture. Plenty of availâ€" able plant food enables the plant to For a motorâ€"minded child this is particularly helpful. Mrs. Winnifred Sackville Stoner in her book, "Natural Education," has built up a whole system of education through games. _ She recommends ballâ€"tossing between two people as an assistance in â€" learning poetry by heart. One throws, saying, for inâ€" stance: "In days of yore, the hero Wolfe," and the other, returning the ball, continues, "Britain‘s glory did maintain." In this exercise, it is imâ€" portant to keep the ball going steadâ€" ily. If it drops and is scrambled for, the pause interferes with the memâ€" ory lesson, which depends on the unâ€" broken rhythm of the throw and the throwâ€"back corresponding with the lines. 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 who keeps the trophy at three con-‘ tests becomes its owner. 80 Cobie m e s s i i M wiiy his falls which give power to factorâ€" ies 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 line, 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 or alfalfa did for its fertility, and how the farmer tested the seed corn, and what its yield was. The same game may be played as an exercise in grammar by designatâ€" ing the part of speech which shall begin or end with the chosen sound. wWHAT AM I? A Geography Game Each child takes the part of some feature of the country which he is st ld'ying: It may be a river, a mounâ€" 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; to the children‘s interest. It will help very little children who are having difficulty with sounds in reading to try to think of all the obâ€" jects they can which begin or end with a certain letter or a certain combination of letters. 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 somerâ€" sault. _â€" This game will help every child‘s memory. _ The visualâ€"minded will learn the relation of numbers to one Aanother by the manner in which the bricks and shingles increase and dimâ€" inish; the youngsters of soundâ€"memâ€" ory will hear the numbers humming in singsong fashion as they build up the house; the motorâ€"minded â€" will have the satisfaction of drawing the bricks and *writing in their numbers.

Love "never faileth." Other gifts and virtues fail, but love like God is eternal. Other graces and attainments are parts of the perfect life, but love is the perfect life, itself in the glory of full manhood. In other ways we see, but see dimly; love sees face to face with God and truth. When we love we know God even as He knows us, and we become like Him. "The greatest" is love, "The Greatest Thing in the World." ,| tle account and profit ourselves and ,‘ others nothing without love.

They needed, and we need toâ€"day, | this fundamental lesson in Christian i' ethics. If we, after strenuous years | of united and heroic effort, fall back ;1 into old ways of party strife, of inter-’ | national and racial hatred, and of | "class division and jealousy and selfâ€", | seeking, the sacrifices and achieveâ€" |ments of war will, for us at least, |have been in vain.

Love is very patient and kind and gentle.; Love does not envy those who have: better or greater gifts, but rejoices in their joy. Love is not selfâ€"conceited or boastful, but is courteous, mindful of the feelings and desires of others, preserves an even temper, and does not 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 l time. ~Love is purely optimistic, bears the present indignity or injury, is ready to believe the best and tol'r hope for the best, and in spite of disâ€" ; coura zement and disappointment w.ill!l keep on believing and hoping.

"No man has a right to shelter or excuse his moral failings on the basis of a foregone defeat. If God isn‘t stronger than sin in our lives, then the Bible is a mockery when it says that "He that ruleth his spirit is better than he that taketh a city," You have been brought up to believe in the Christian religion, and the first thing for every Christian to beâ€" lieve is that he need not be under the power of sin. You may have to ad mit the presence of sin in your life, but you ought never to admit its right to rule. If you fall fighting it, you have at least gained a kind of vicâ€" tory out of your struggle. But if you supinely submit to it without a fight, that puts you into the class of the coward. The worst failure of all is the failure to try. None of us knows whether his effort will bring success or not, but he can at least believe that it will. And believing is half the game. Hypnotize yourself | into a belief in success instead of in failure, and see the difference! As Goethe once said to a young man who felt as you do, ‘Ach, it‘s easy! Just blow on your hands and you can do it!" Blow on your hands, son! Blow on your hands!"
