METHOD OF TEACHING LITERATURE.
How to make composition writing
and the learning ?nd reciting of selections
of verse or prose interesting,
havelcng been among tiic most trying
of the teacher's many tasks. To add
profit to interest is simpiy to make the
work so much the more dilficult If 1
repeat some of my own experiences, I
suppose I shall give a fair showing of
the trills of the average tcaciicr.
For several years it lias been the custom
in a certain school of Middlesex
TV * | ?. * ^
county to give up rnua.y auumuuu
general exercises. At this time the
pupils declaimed, recited, or read. according
to the choice of the individual.
The teacher commcnted^pn the compositions
presented, criticised the modes
of rer^jjfno' t-'.o several selections,
then interest the school in
readit^P^r recitations of his own. He
early remarked the desire of his pupils
to select the pieces whose rendering
should excite mirth on the part of
those listening. Mark Twain and Petroleum
V. Nasbv found much moro
favor than Longfellow and Whittier.
Coming to the high school in Worcester,
1 found tlie rhetorical exercises
in a very peculiar condition, Monday
was the day devoted to singing and
these exercises. Necessarily it was a
? -? T> >. ,J:.( i;L.a
uro&eu uuy. x ujjus uiu wuu iiat wiv
exercise, and tiiu teacher dreaded them.
Frequently their recurrence would be
seized as an excuse to remain away
from school. If a visit out of town was
contemplated, the pupil would often
arrange to protract the stay over Monday,
thus avoiding compositions and
reading. Not one pupil in twenty considered
the exercise otherwise than a
bore. The ultimate good to be derived
therefrom was so far in the future that
it was practically invisible.
After a time, to obviate the desultory
selections that were commonly
made. Professor Hudson's two books. I
ri? 1 1.^ c I.,,*,..* :
J.e.\l-OOOiv.S Oi 1 WW iwu i WKUj, iiwc
introduced, but these proved to be
quite too heavy. Few boys can appreciate
a year's study of Burke and Webster,
and, as for the poeiry, it was better
adapted to those who have acquired
a taste for reading than those who are
in a formative state. To sum up the
matter, it was difficult for the teacher
to arouse an interest in tiic work with
these books in hand. 1 frequently met
boys who. having gone to college, said,
"In college we ask no odds of our associates
in the classics, mathematics,
itc., but in writing essays and kindred
work we are far behind."
This was not a pleasant thing for
Due io hear, and I early decided, if I

the iargc towns, notably Manchester,

are now receiving better instruction

The competition of actual life asserts
its own conditions, for ihe children of
the latter liud increasing difficulty in
obtaiuiug employment. The cause of
this lies in the fact that the schools for
the ruiudic classes have not yet adapted
themselves to the needs of modern

TENACITY OF EDUCATIONAL TRADITIONS.
The old traditions of education stick
is lirmly to school as a limpet doe? to
a rock; Jthough I do the limpet injustice,
for it does make excursions to
seek pastures new. Are we to give up
in despair bccause an exclusive system
of classical education has resisted the
assaults of such cultivated authors as
Milton. Montaigne, Cowley, and
Locke? There was once an enlightened
Emperor of China, Chi Hwangti, who
knew that his country was kept back
by its exclusive devotion to the classics
of Confucius and Mencitis. He invited
live hundred of the teachers to bring
copies of these authors to Peking, and,
after giving a great banquet in their
honor, ho Duried alive the professors
along with their manuscripts in a deep
pit. But Confucius and Mencius still
reign supreme. I advocate milder
measures, and depend for their adoption
011 the force of public opinion.
The needs of modern life will force
schools to adapt themselves to a scientific
age. Grammar-schools believe
themselves immortal. Those curious
immortals?the Struldbrugs?aescrioeu
by Swift, ultimately regretted their
immortality, bccause they found themselves
out of touch, sympathy, and fitness
with the centuries in which they
Jived.?Hir l.yon May fair, in Popular

NO MONOPOLY IN EDUCATION.
The highest possible intellectcual
efiicicucy and individual happiness,
based on a harmonious development
of the various faculties of mind and
' :?:? i e ?il

education. There is a strong and intelligent
party who sincerely believe
that these aims are best attained by
the college training such as it has been,
and who, therefore, wish that this
training shall ^ntinuo for all time.
There is another ty, not a whit less
intelligent, and p.o. ibly far more numerous,
who maintain that the highest
and best education is not necessarily
of one type; that it may differ as individuals
differ; that the college itself
has changed in the past, is changing
now, and is quite certain to change in
the future in accordance with a wellknown
law of human life, and that,
therefore, it is neither logical nor fair

The corporation of 1'ork openly lamen
ied that "King Richard late mercifaliy
reigning over us has been ,
piteously slain ami murdered."' Curiously
enough they determined to apply
lor advice to Northumberland, who
had betraved him, while a rumor had 1
reached York attributing treason to
Norfolk, who had died with his master. j
The death of Richard cuded tee batiie.' ^ J
There was no pursuit, except that
Lord Stanley's men cut down some
fugitives who attempted to escape past
their ri?;ht Hank toward the main road.
while Richmond, marching in the sa:i:c
direction, halted at Stoke oiiii::tr to
receive the battered crown ox his pre- i
decessor. The controversy over the
character of Richard has died away. (
It is understood that treac-ucry and
murder, in an age of treason and violence,
need little explanation, and may
not be incompatible with the possession
of some respectable qualities.
