It leaves tli cliililren mi iniieh to their capriee that they fail to de velop liat i failed rhann-ter or moral tone. They are KelMnduluetit nml have to ! amused, or else do not choose to jrlve their attention. They are treat at pl-iy, hilt (rood for not lii tic at real work. They do not respect tlie oi jranl zation of tlie school in which they are I enrolled, and they will not ri-spect tlie social whole in which they grow up. They will pa mm through life stiiiulillii over themselves -not utile to discrim inate their idiosyncrasies from their rational aims and purposes or from their moral duties. In the end even their mastery of scln tllic method will not avail t.: save them from hecomin sour and misanthropic, l-'or I hey will not he ahle to coiiililne with their fellow men - they will have no directive power. I do not know of any eilmatlon re form so much needed as a theory and priictiif of education which unites ;uid adjusts these two tendencies that of the old education toward wlll-liainlni;. and Hint (if I In? new eilncalioii toward intellectual Insight and power of Inde pendent thought. For It Is the. unconscious conviction of IIih advocates of the old education that character Is more Important than know led(i. This conviction uteels them KKalnst the adoption of the koihI that tin; new education offers. They see oonietliliiK amiss In the theory of tin new ed inn I Ion. Hut they do not realize how fully they could unite what Is (t 1 In holh systems by rigidly eoiilinln their mechanical methods to discipline of wlll-trnlninc. and adopting the meth ods of the new educa tin, 1 for Instruc tion or Intellectual eilucalioii. This Insight would also cure the be settlnu evil of the new ed.icition. The disciplinary side would retain 11s mili tary exnetness without lis harshness, for the pupil would lie permitted to un derstand and appreciate lis motives. On the other baud. In his Intellectual work the teacher would constantly press him toward original InvesllKatlon. which Is the highest of scholastic meth ods. Till reform of reforms Is urgently needed now because of the increasing influence of Hit? method of natural science and the consequent tendency to break completely with tradition. Inas much as the Interest of the pupil Is tin essential item lu effective education, It !n held by soiiip that there should be free election of studies even In the pri mary school. "The pupil should study only what Interest him." "One study is as good ns another, provided the pupil pursues It wlih equal zeal." Here? we are on the point of losing Fight Of the most valuable heritage of the old education, namely, the Ideal of ;i liberal or rounded education which con tn ins w il I1I11 it the means of opening ill Hie live wlmlows of tin; soul. For mathematics nud mutual science open I only two of these windows, while liter- j fitnre opens another and history still a fourth. The ft f 1 1 1 w indow Is opened by pitch similes as grainiiiaiic.il syntax. logic, psychology, and philosophical I studies. The course of study adopted ) '. as a whole something psychologic ally complete. The reform of educa I ion that I roe. (.nniiend will discriminate between the Individual and social elements In edu cation and provide for the retention of both no as to save the moral education of tlie old and add to It the Individiialliy and self-acilvily of the new education. Win. T. Harris, in I'lihli" .School .lour nal. The Ideal Woman Teacher, A certain club sent me at one time a request for a description of the Ideal teacher, to be given in about three hun dred words. As It has never been pub lished It occurs to me that some of my rejuler frleiidd may care to know what J wrote In answer to the request. It was us follows: Thinking that others may describe for yon the Ideal mini t Hcher, I shall attempt the Ideal wom au teacher, although It Is as difficult to describe her lu words as ll Is In u pho tograph to lo Justice to a woman whose chief beauty Is in her expression. In the flixt place, every characteristic of noble womanhood Is hers, since we leach as much by what vc are as by what we do. Wood heallh, good com mon, sense, tact, winning manner, n pood voice, nud n strong, sweet chame ter, are the rlrst iiuiilillcatlons of h teacher. All else, all that does not be long to true Hoinaiilioixl, Is the profes sional aide of the Ideal. Without Un professional characteristics one may be an Ideal wniniiii; che cannot be mi Ideal teacher. She must have scholarship not necessarily the brond and deep knowledge of Hie snvnnt, but t fin t knowledge which coinm from education in 11 good secondary school followed by en refill study of every subject to bo taught. In Its connection with other subjects; a knowledge of what are the best bistks and a loving Intenut lu them; a wide-awake Interest In current events; a knowledge of psychology, de rived from, the study of boys and girls and supplemented by the observations of wiser thinkers than herself, found In afjtndard works on theaubject; a knowl edge of what the beat aeu and women of her profession la tbe past have n...ii.jil Mod one, a Lid wlial tile i-aicr of pirsent times are tl. inking ami die ing lu the cuus of education.

She ought to have lu an eminent do gree what I'estalozzi calls a "thinking love" for children.

I h;m been leaching for many years, and haw tried a number of methods, but haw found no method by which all membei. of the class could be reached and mini? good spellers as well as by the above. I hope my fellow teachers will try tin method, for I am sure (hey will adopt II if tried.-.l. H. Spelling: unit A rl t h met ic. Spelling and arithmetic are the two mbjeets that pupils and teachers fui! in most at county examinations. Is it not possible to improve on thest two subjects': No one Is expected t;, sped correctly all the words In lht language, but a pupil or bachcr should be aide to spell all the words he usch and no more. One reason why pupils fail In exam Illation In arithmetic at coiiuiy examin ailoii or at home is that the teaching of the subject has not been as thorough as it should be. I'uplls are net to work oil difficult examples before they lww the necessary training on elementary principles; hence we should teach the I inula mental principles thoroughly, and 111 seven and eight yearn miscellaneous examples should be largely used by pupils to be furnished by the teachers on the blackboard at recitation or from dictation. Kx. I The Darwin Theory. Although not half a century has elapsed since Darwin's views on evo lution were placed before the world. Iliey are now generally received by scientists as furnishing a satisfactory theory of the development of evolu tion, nud teach that the human race Is descended from the higliei apes. The scientific professors in many Institutions of learning ac cept Darwin's Iheorles in regard to Hie lower orders of nallire, but iimsl of them do not iiiiiie their views ,ti all prominent in their teaching from the fact that, as at present iinder;oo.l. the Hlbllcal theory of creation is ;:l variance with the doctrine of evolu tion, and no Institution of learning desires to antagonize the religious spir It of the age. t'lilnese Delicacy.

Ball and &kf Terrier I'm ore in Kb liah Jnriaprndence to Home Kx tent. The courts in this country and In Eng land have frequent occasions to deter mine suit growing out of Injuries in flicted by dogs upon other HDimalg or ujion. human licings. These suits are almost always what lawyers call ac tions at law, in which the plaintiff seeks to recover simply a sum of money as damages rather than equitable ac tions in which the cnmplaintant asks for preventive relief or protection. A case of the latter haracter, however, has recently arisen in London and has excited considerable amusement In pro fessional circles there 011 account of its novelty. It came before the chancery division of the high court of justice in which Justice Kekt wich was presiding. The plaintiff and the defendant were next door neighbors at a place known as Denmark Hill. The plaintiff kept a skye terrier and the defendant kept a bull terrier. These animals did not ugree very well. There was also some evidence that the defendant's hull ter rier had bitten the plaintiff's sou. al though this statement was denied in behalf of the defendant. At fill events the parties met in January hi';t and the defendant orally agreed timt he would remove his dog from the neigh borhood anil keep It away. This agnv rnoiit he did not fulfill. He took the dog elsewhere for awhile, but after the lapse of some weeks the bull terrier ap peared again upon the defendant's premises, jumped over the gar b 11 wall Into the iilaimiff's yard ami attacked the skye terrier. This was too much for the plaintiff and he applied, through' counsel learned In the law. to one of he, majesty's judges in chancery for an in junction which would compel the de fendant to remove the obnoxious be;;st. In the plaintiff's papers his own skye terrier was described as "a harmless lit tle dog," while the defendant's bull ter rier was characterized ns "a certain ferocious dog." which was fed on raw meat. On the other hand, the counsel for the defendant told the court that n police inspector had pronounced his client's dog to be a harmless and well behaved animal, while the plaintiff's ilog was "a nasty little skye terrier." Me ridiculed the plaintiff's, statement Mint he kept his diminutive creature for protection and insisted that he kept U simply to excite the defendant's bull terrier and tight with him. Now nil this controversy took place, not In n police court or before a magis trate whose business was the trial of petty causes, but in the highest trib unal of original Jurisdiction In Kngland. and ns the suit was brought In proper form the court was bound to entertain It, Just the same as though It had licen a graver matter involving interests of more serious import. Justice Keke wlch, however, postponed final action in the hope that before a future? motion day "the gsl sense of the parties would deprive the court of any further' trouble, or amusement." He thought the alleged agreement was rather shadowy and that the application was n novel attempt to extend the doctrine under which courts of equity interfere because the complainant npprehends danger, but the case was not weak enough to justify a dismissal. The scope of the Jurisdiction of courts of equity has been greatly broadened of late years, but we hardly expected that It would ever extend to a dog case like this.- New Vork Sun. (enrral l'utmioi and Major Small An instance of personal regard over coming the? war spirit was told by M.ij.
