Doctor Cello , of Paris , has found that twon- , y to twenty-live per cent of children hear only vvithiu a limited range. A practical re sult of this discovery is that children are now ilacod at such a distance from the teachers' leak as will correspond with their strength of tearing. The matter does not appear to have juon thought of before , but its obvious impor- lance is now likely to attract attention from our teachorH. The annual report of the superintendent of public Instruction , in New York , shows that bore were in that ntata lost year 11,014 school iouss worth § 31,011,211. The number of ichool children in attendance was 1,011,080 n number greater than the total population of nny ono of nineteen states in the Union. There were 31,570 teachers , 24,847 of them loing Yiomon ; the avorugo annual salary of the teachers was § 391 , the total expense of maintaining tha common schools was § 11- , 858,691. The Springfield MaB. , Union discusses the subject of moral teaching In public schools nnc declares that a misconception of the principles ot moral growth underlies tha demand for text- Look lessons in ethics sandwiched in somewhere - where between the arithmetl > and the pram- mar. "What the boys aud girls supremely need as they appro icfi tha years of responsi ble activity , " sav- > The Union , "is not an easy familiarity with a set uf moral rnloi though that is good as far an it goes but a quicken ing of the moral feelings. There is no sura way of becoming good as through the dally effort to do good. Let the teachers ancourago their pupils in doing helpful things for each other. Lnt them foster a generous cooperation tion , so developing what we may call the active moral faculties. " For several months the Yale faculty have been discussing radical charges in the course of study with a view of making the general system of scholarship in tha College moro co herent aud continuous than it has been here tofore , ' For tha Freshman and Sophomore years the schema will ba substantially as It is now , with an option for the student between Frond and German , The student can continue these two studios , or either of them , through the whole four years of the course , and the name Is true of classics and mathematics. Iu Junior years seven-fifteenths of the student's work will bo given to the two required cour ses for that year , constating (1) ( ) of astronomy , logic , and psychology , aud (2) ( ) of physics am : geology. Iu senior years moutal and tnora ! philosophy are the only studies absolutely re quired In distinction from optlonals. Tha work of that year Is Intended to supplement the courses of tha earlier years , aud to bo adapted to the particular calling which tin Senior Intends to adopt In life.
