Persuaded that oroe direct moans must
bo found for the development of more in
telligent nd eflioieul working power,
tu.l aided by tho lorTution and expeii.
?noe gained in rotiiact with tho minds of
nearly 8.000 pupils, I was Itsl to con
riude that the power our pupils tussl lies
in tho ability to eonoemrnto the utton
tiotu Thou arose the question. How may
tho powers of perception and of concen
tration l gained at svliool, ami made to
become habits of the mind f Plainly, in
no other way than by regular and sys
tematic training to tins end. Thou was
tornnilntts.1 a variety of exorcises, to 1
practiced by the pupils from ton to
twenty minutes each day, with no effort
St learning or lut-moi i.in although
those would be attained, but solely to the
aid of acquiring the power of uttenlior.
To insure quickness und accuracy in
seeing, tho reversible blackboard may I
made a valuable auxiliary. A coll.s-tion
of ligures, Kr"11!" of circloa or marks for
unconscious counting, Ints of words and
long sentences may each lie preseiued for
in instant, and the pupils lie required to
write or to repeat pnvisely what Uiey
have seen. Tin exercises, it must bo
uiiderst.tod, are as distinct and apjirt
from tho work of learning Uts-sms as are
gymnastic exorcises from tho habits
which follow their use, and. such
physical e .nervi-scs, are to bo coiisidertsl
only as means to an end.
Various and multiform are the means
to which the awakened teacher may re
port to quicken the minds of her pupils,
and to obtain that ail important nuia of
attention accuracy in seeing mid hear
ing. One of the most renowned of
French educators was aivu-tomi-d to re
quire the boy under his charge to run
w nil all spots! just lite shop windows of
tho streets, and on returning to write the
oratm of all tho unifies ett-sts! to view.
It has been proved that the iwert con
centrate the attention may be cultivated
and strengthened to such a degree, the
mind Ixvoiuiug more and more oUiiiont
to the will, that pupils thus ppjiared are
able lo learn h -wins, within their com
prehension, in les than onc-haif of the
time former! required.
I. venture to ns-4-rt that a very large
part of the time ijient in studying hf-sms
in sohoj and at home is wasttsl for b it
of early training, to liabits of pt-rcepuon
and attention.
In-t. a i of V"j.ing thy mind of the do

this done, requira the learner either to
write or tJ n peat the privi. words, or
Words of the same meaning, whieli ulio
has just hoard. This requirement, I it
understootl, is not for the hike of com
mitting the words to memory, but iu a
means of holding the pupil s entire at
tention until she has full wiion of
the lesson to I learned. To know that
the results inutl Is! produced ut once will
stimulate the litilleit iimid to its full
measure of activity, mid in the i (Tort to

Of all the fi-atscoiiunoli to hunting life
