tSSSS.BBSS ""' "' "" Bg 11}A(mE}i$'G0LTJMN, J. G. CTJCNiKSCALES, Editor. The public schools will open Monday, No?. 3rd, if, in the judgment of the Trustees, that time will suit the respect? ive neighborhoods best. We are glad to learn that in several Sections of the County the people are taking active steps toward securing a nine months' school. Let the good work go on. That is a step in the right direc? tion. The Pendleton Trustees request us to announce that they have located the fol? lowing schools, and that no others will be recognized: One white and one colored school at Denver, one white school at Sandy Springs, one at Asbury, one at Mt Tabor, one colored school at New Light, and one white and one colored school at Pondleton. That Board will not sign any school claims for scholars outside the school district unless they are for good reasons transferred. further hints to teachers. The most important of all teaching is the instruction of young children in the elements of knowledge. The accnracy and profitableness of one's acquaintance with any subject depends very largely upon his exact knowledge of its elements. How often have we seen young men, sometimes of excellent powers, turn away in despair or disgust from the higher mathematics or the most valuable applications of Hebrew and Greek, because they never really understood algebraic addition and subtraction, or never could conjugate a verb and be sure they were right To unlearn what was once learned wrong, or to begin again and work patiently through the long neglected elements, is a task of grave .-difficulty, which only the highest class cf students will effectually accomplish. How seldom does a grown man who spells, badly succeed in thoroughly cor? recting the*f-ul t. . We did once hear of a young lady whose first letter to her sweetheart had to pass under her older sisters' inspection for correction of the dreadful spelling, and who,.feeling the extreme pressure of the situation, went bravely to "work and in a few months learned to spell correctly ; but, having had no means of judging, we have always ielt skeptical as to the complete? ness of her success. And besides the fact that a knowledge of the "elementary ? branches" forms the foundation of all knowledge, there is something still more important. Young children in their fir' - years at school form their mental hat <?o as to all acquisition of knowledge, aud no habits whatsoever are harder to cor? rect. They learn to be accurate or inac? curate, superficial or thorough, honest in recitation or dishonest, thoughtful as to the nature and causes of things or con * tent to recite lessons like a parrot; and these good or evil habits go with them to gray hairs and the grave. Who shall arouse the people of this "enlightened" age and country to appreciate the importanco of elementary teaching, and to select, respect and pay the elementary teacher accordingly? Here is the real difficulty. Normal schools do something to stimulate' the pr&sent teachers ; but it is only in proportion as a better educated generation shall become the parents that the evil in question will begin to be cor? rected. We respectfully offer some brief hints to elementary teachers. English spelling is the hardest to learn of all civilized languages, and becoming harder for every succeeding generation, since- pronunciation is constantly chang? ing, while the characters employed stand fast It is a pitiful bondage to which our children are subjected in acquiring this great mass of uncouth orthography. But there is one consolation, a child that becomes a really good speller of English can learn anything, you may be sure, - that depends upon mere accurate obser? vation and recollection of facts. This early drill is very encouraging to those who have a natural turn of mind for it, . though sometimes very disheartening to others. It requires no small tact to give proper stimulus and encouragement in regard to it, and'yet not utterly repel or seriously dishearten the class of pupils who can never become accurate spellers, and yet some of wham may prove quite intelligent in other respects. A teacher who never had any trouble in learning to spell will sometimes drive a sensitive pupil, who is otherwise constituted, almost to desperation. .Yet it will never do to tell the school that accuracy in spelling is a matter of little importance; so there must come in your tact. Spell? ing should be learned not merely by vocal recitation, but as largely as possi? ble by writing. Do you not know, O most accurate teacher, that when some? times just a little at a loss yourself, you only need to write the word down in both ways, and at once you determine which is right? Let that experience convince you that we learn spelling largely by the eye. With the slate and the blackboard and the pleasact little juvenile "composition," you may add greatly to the result of the regular spell? ing lessons. And in the reading lessons how much might be done by marking certain words with your pencil a3 the pupil reads on, and then asking the class to go back and look sharply at each of . those words. Many practical expedients will suggest themselves from time to time, if the teacher appreciates the diffi? culty of the task, and wishes to relieve and assist the poor suffering innocents who are really toiling like oxen, badly .yoked and up hill. To read well is among the most charm? ing of human accomplishments. It obviously follows that high excellence in that respect cannot be universal or even general. But we are persuaded that a large proportion of moderately intelli? gent people conld learn to read agreea? bly and not a few to read so well as to give very great pleasure to their friends. ___The requisites to good reading are quick apprehension of the thought, ready sym? pathy with the sentiment, correct, easy and musical enunciation, and for the rest that subtle, undefined something which we call personal magnetism, and which acts in reading to others as it does in oratory. As to this last you can teach only by practice, and by your own conta? gious sympathies. But in all the other respects there is no limit to the possible instruction. Two things are of tho greatest importance in a child's reading lessons; the matter read should be thoroughly understood, and it should awak?n a lively interest. The teacher may regard these points in tho selection of reading lesions, and in the way of explaining them, and perhaps making - them more vivid by description or dra? matic utterance. It is a great gain when children can be encouraged to read aloud at home, not for the purpose of showing theit proficiency, but because they have something to read that is interesting and will be enjoyed by the family. And whether at school or at home, youug children are greatly benefited by'read . ing in turn with older people, whether in dialogues, or in successive portions Scripture or verses of a hymn. Correct pronunciation is certainly a matter of very great importance, and many teach? ers of good talents need in this respect to improve themselves as well as their pupils. But let us not be punctilious and fussy as to the pronunciation of words in which there is a recognizable difference of good usage. And let the dictionary you happen to use be a ser? vant, or at most a' friend, and not a lord and master. It may be gravely doubted whether any really intelligent person should be expected to pronounce every English word exactly as it is pronounced in some particular dictionary, not oveu if he made the dictionary himself. On ROfc S few points gcqd usage varies, with Phftr^"vnopp.lity Rnd ffit)) the laptfo of time. We can only add upon this point that one who professes to teach young children to read should mark well the distinction between reading and the pes? tilent spouting which in some schools is called elocution. Happy the child whose teacher under? stands fractions! A highly intellectual and cultivated woman of our acquaint? ance prolonged a visit for several months in order to teach her little neph? ew the mystery of fractions. He attended a distinguished school with sev? eral instructors, but none of them had made clear to him the real meaning of fractions. Far be it from us to approach that antique mystery in these fugitive lucubrations. We had ourselves been teaching school more than three years before wr had the least inkling as to what a iraction means, and felt like uttering a joyful Eureka wheu good Prof. Courtney explained it at the Uni? versity. To this day we know no higher pleasure in the way of instruction than to teach a bright youth the reason why, in dividing oy a fraction, you must invert and multiply. It is perhaps in teaching arithmetic that the danger is greatest of that merely mechanical in? struction which is so often observable in large classes, and is therefore particularly to be dreaded in our public schools. What well-known educator has not been taken around in a carriage along with other gentlemen by the energetic Su? perintendent of public schools in some city and expected to admire the perform? ances of a crack class in oral arithme? tic, when the operations betrayed no sign of thinking, but were performed by dint of a drilling as mechanical as the manual of arms ? A mechanical drill in the use of weapons, or in calisthenics, is a very good thing in its ph~?>. But school instruction ought to coou. nplate something more than mere practical facility in the repetition of certain de? finite .processes. Apart from the su? preme matter of mental development and discipline, the practical processes of arithmetical calculation?for example, in bank discount, or in interest where payments have been deferred, are so varied and often complicated that one must have learned to think about arith? metic, or he cannot be trusted to do the work. The Greeks probably gave their pupils as much mental discipline in teaching arithmetic and geometry as we do through the calculus and celestial mechanics. As they had not the so called Arabic (really Indian) numerals, and represented numbers by letters of the alphabet, the simple processes of multiplication and division required serious mental effort. These readily become for us an almost mechanical process, and geometry is in many re? spects . greatly simplified. Yet. let us nowhere be satisfied with imparting the mere mastery of practical processes, but teach pupils to think. The very word man signifies thinker, the root being akin to the yerb mean and the noun mind. Do not make bright children mere cal? culating machines, make them think. And do not allow yourself to be a ma? chine for dictation and inspection, but bring your own active mind , in contact with the mind of every pupil. Many teachers of large classes find this diffi? cult,, of course, but they must strive to overcome the difficulty by every means in their power. One more article will venture to offer hints as to certain other subjects of elementary instruction.?/. A. B, in Religious 'Herald. ? MyBtery explained : Why is it that whenever you are looking for any? thing you always find it in the last place you look? The reason is because you always stop looking when you find it.
