Teaching Children to Think.

utation for her work among the chii

to fill their little miiuls with a tr..
of unrelated information. She 1*
up Louis Pasteur aB a model to h
one thousand teacher-auditors ar.
said that he was taught to think and
io digest information in his youth.
It would be a great gain for human
ity if this truth could be brought iiom
to all educators, and especially to
those who have charge of the elementary
schools. The tendency of tin
day is to "cover ground." The teach

The idea is all wrong. The shy pt'

mean more to the world than the onwho
glibly memorizes whole chapters
of lessons.

Stevenson as a German Spy.
It is Interesting, says the London
Chronicle, to r -all that Stevenson
ha- recorded his imprisonment in
France as a Herman spy, so foreign
looking was he in appearance. Andrew
Lang found his appearance at
twenty-eight was anything but that
of a Scotsman, and the same difficulty
pursued the novelist through life,
more especially on the continent.
"It is a irreat thine, hellevo mo." he
wrote in the Inland Voyage, "to present

you belong to," ami, as he Bays in the
same chapter. "I might come from any
part of the globe, it seems, except
