Meet­ The following is a paper read at the Mother»*’ and Teacher»' meet­ ing held on Friday aftcrncon, Dec. Id: In a lecture quito recently de­ livered in one of our well-known cities by a scholarly man and a man of rocognizod authority upon the subject of child-training, the speak­ er, after stating that ho considered his subject “ The Child," the most important one in the world, said he bolieved that if children were trained aright anl could be made to think aright in early youth, all other problems would solve them­ selves. “ Responsibility,” he said, “ in its higher or sublime sense, is the keynote to the whole problem, the two words, parents and respons- iblity, being identical.” It seems to me that the teacher of tho child also shares largely in this responsibility. What an important work is that o f the teacher of kindergarteu and primary schools, dealing with the child of unformed taste—so im­ pressionable and credulous - so im­ itative of all he sees^and hears. It is on ly of late years and since tho subject of “ Child Psychology” has received so much attention and study all over tho world, that the vory best teaching material is de­ manded for theso grades, tho old notion “ that almost anyouo can teach in a primary school” no longer finding favor with thinking people. The primary teacher has been likened to a “ Man with a Hoe” standing at the source of a great river and digging channels that shall determine the irrigation of n continent. Broad learn ing, a lively imagina­ tion, tact and adaptability being necessary so that the tencher can viow objocts from the standpoint of a child. One authority upon this subject says that other needed qual­ ities are "gentle manners, a ready sympathy, an uuruflled temper and last but not least, a rare patience.” W a m u n i ** o r v . n tv \ 1\ a %< I 1 < « 1 A\- - ception. A word in regard to tbh teaching o f the older pupils, those who are actual students! Though less im­ pressionable than those of tenderer age, they are still more or less susceptible to influences of all kinds and lack judgment necossary to establish good standards for them­ selves. More is naturally expected of them and it is difficult always to bear in mind that it is the “ seod- time rather than the harvest" with them. These pupils, young and naturally thoughtless, cannot per­ ceive, as do we of riper age and experience, how n life of study or ono spent in the atmosphere of a school-room, often tends to make one impractical or bookish, even irritable and curt in manner. It is so difficult for the young to judge except by the young external. It is only later in life that they learn to look for what “ lies beneath the husk." The words of Goldsmith used in his description of the vil­ lage school master come to my mind: A i osllj mistake. B unders are sometimes very ex­ pensive. Occasionally life itself is the price of a mistake, but you’ll never bo wrong if you take Dr. K in g’s New L ife Pills for Dyspep­ sia, Dizziness, Headache, L iver or bowel troubles. They are gentle, yet thorough. 25c, at Know lton’s drug store. ----------- Let us then give freely our aid and sympathy to that sorely-tried individual, the public school teach­ er, remembering alway that “ there is not one among us perfect, no, not one.” Carrier pigeons are supposed to have been used as a means of smug­ gling opium into the San Quintin prison, and one of the employes has lost bis job in consequence. Minneapolis, Dec. 15.— The Holy Rosary Catholic church, the largest in the city, was destroyed by fire at noon. Tho loss is $60,000. Minneapolis, Dec. 15.— The L in ­ coln sebool was damaged by fire to­ day to tho extent of $30,000. The children marched out in an orderly manner through tho smoke and all were saved.
