' t , -The results of the recent examination reveal a trend or condition which is all too prevalent in every school. . Original thought and logical reasoning on even the most rudimentary things seems to be absent in case of many children. - Those who have brought themselves to the point where they are able to think two or more thoughts in logical sequence are those who have been "saved" intellectually. Dr. William James of Harvard, than whom we have no greater American psychologist, says, "The child, in school is saved: first, by the stock or ideas with which you furnish him; second, by the amount of voluntary attention that he can exert in holding to the right ones, how ever unpalatable; and third, by the sev eral habits of acting definitely on these latter to which he has been successfully trained." f Years ' ago Henry Drummond showed that natural law in all its phases, has a counterpart in the spriritual world. To those who work with the youthful life, in like manner it is clearly seen that many laws in one sphere have a counterpart in the intellectual life of the child. By those who expound the teachings of religion, we are told that before the unregenerated soul can enjoy the benefits of divine life it must be born again. By the time a boy or girl enters High School and often years before the intellectual life should experi ence a new birth, that is, it should be re generated. This is absolutely necessary if the child to rise to his full height and attain a full measure of success. At this point he passes the time of choices, and if born again he has chosen the harder but better way harder now, but easier and more delightful later. For as sure as. night follows day. if the boy or girl makes the school life easy now, just so sure will the later periods of life be hard. IT he succeeds at all he must be school ed somewhere, if not in the public school, it will be in the sterner school ot exper ience. Verily he that walks in youth will ride later in life and he who rides now will walk later. And the youth may do either, for it is a matter of choice. ' We are certain that in every school are some who by an act of will, or by indiff erence, refuse to yield to influences which if used would work out an intellectual regeneration. As a rule the pupil who wishes to be born again, will be. So the teacher if true to herself and the divine ideals of her profession finds that effort and energy expended upon seemingly backward or diffident pupil who wants to be born again, yield a reward the richness of which is unmeasured. It is a sad and frightful waste of the teach er's energy and nervous force, ' to deal with the child who refuses to be intellec tual regenerated. The boy or girl of this type is like the night owl, he looks wisely but sees nothing. He is a seat warmer, an injury the'school, and to himself. But in all this the teacher seeks to reach him self. She is to be forgiving and seek the hidden way that she may save the life. Can the teacher reach and save every pupil and work out in him an intellectual regeneration?., No. She cannot save them all. But as old Cicero said, she will give her help to many, hoping that she may save some. - In some way she will put the arm of her soul beneath the child and place him on solid ground. Children in the La Grande school, as elsewhere, pass through these experiences each year unwittingly, but surely, never theless. Fortunate is the parent whose chiM has early sought his intellectual salvation, and having been born again has entered upon the life which some choose not to see. Verily as it is in the spiritual life so it is in the intellectual, "ye must be born again." In this school business we ask not for richness or for fame, not for social popu larity or political prestige, but only for strength of body and soul to work. It is a great joy to be able to bear burdens and to toil, if by so doing some lives whom we touch may be born again into a higher in tellectual existence. If any little . word of mine Can make a life the brighter, If any little song of mine Can make some cares the lighter Qod give me that little word to speak And take the bit of singing And drop in some lonely vale To set the world a-singing. ' If any little love of mine Can make a life the sweeter. If any little care of mine Can make another's the fleeter If any little lift of mine Can ease the burdens of another Qod give me the love, and care and strength To heip a ' toiling brother.
