CHANCE FOR THE PRESS AND
STANDARD READERS.
AN EDUCATION.
Opportunities do not always imply
culture. It may s«vm strange to
the uninitiated, and yet it is true. \ *
that we often find a boy or girl who ^
has gone through the schools, and
perhaps carries the diploma of some
college, who yet is not, in any sense,
educated. The gloss of a certain
refinement they may have taken on;
but when it comes to actual acquire
ment. such as surely we have a right
to expect, we find them wanting.
Like Shad rack. Meshack and Abed-
nego newly delivered from the fiery
furnace, there is not even the scent
of fire about them.
Lhances for an education were
never more numerous than now;
why is it that oftentimes they do not
bear fruit in the individual as they
should*’ Is the very democracy of
learning unfavorable to a choice cul
ture? or because it is more widely
offered to the masses, must its Work
be shallower and its standard lower?
We think this is not necessarily so.
In the making of the scholar (as in
nearly everything else) home train
ing holds tin* first place. For “in
every age and in all human story”
it is habit that counts, and the
parent s province is to give the habit
shape. «T.ildren whohavt had some
difficulties to meet and master in
their lives some circumstance of
struggle or of hard work almost
invariably make better students t lian
those who have lived softly, and have
every wish gratified.
John Adams list'd to say that
ditching his father’s farm made him
a good student of Latin. The habit
of overcoming difficulties is so vahi-
abk* an asset in all experiences! To
attend school as inevitably as the
sunrise, to have a regular study-time.
1 to fix the attention firmly on the
I lesson one i:> getting, are one and all
simply and solely habits-and quite
under the control of the wise parent
who begins in time. The teacher's
advice inlluences but indirectly and
afar off, as compared with the ir
resistible drawings of habit. And a
child, as any teacher may have
noticed, will bear punishment like
the martyrs of old rather than re
form those irregular or indolent
ways which have been allowed to
grow with his growth. It is a fear
ful thought, and carries with it a
weight of responsibility-for the
parent, primarily, because his au
thority and control are so much
anipler-but also for the teacher who,
while less able to prevent the evil, is
yet, perhaps, more fully alive to its
consequences.
We fear, too. that the ideals in- ! V
culcated in the home do not always ,
induce to a desire for knowledge in
itself-a contempt for whatever is
make-believe in education, and a N
hearty administration for thorough V
and finished scholarship. Too often i ft
parents show plainly (even if they do , ,
not put the matter in explic t words i —
that they will l»e perfectly satisfied i . , , .
if their children “keep up with the nio p* Is ’hat of enlisting the
rest at school, do no worse than the an< * froewill of the little
others”. They seem to have no care j ontentity on the side of
at all as to how much knowledge an< ^ tru *h.
this is going to represent, the fact of
"keeping up with the procession” is
all that gives them concern. They
would do well to consider how poor
an ambition this is; and that if such
a spirit has prevailed in every in
stance, would have cut out every
great name (that is every exception
al man) from history. As a practi
cal instance, verv frequently a
child is permitted to miss school for
no better reason than that some
body elses child is going to stay at
home. What can be the result but
a ragged place in the education of
each—hardly ever to be repaired in
the aftertime!
Another great source of harm is
the employment of the non-profes
sional teacher—of those who have no
ambition as teachers because they
have no natural qualifications and
no love tor the work. They can af
ford to use methods #f mere expedi
ency, and to say “After me the del
uge’—for the deluge will not find
them there. The cause of education
suffers untold evil at such hands.

THE OLD STAND BY
It is hardly, perhaps, sufficiently
realized, even by the wisest, how
slow- and consistent a child’s mental
improvement should be. The Ger
mans have a motto, “Ohne hast,
ohne rast,” without rest and with
out haste, which exactly applies
here. No time must lie lost and
yet nothing should be forced, noth
ing crammed. What is not assimila
ted into-the mental being is of noj
-J good; and equally it is no use to
superimpose “higher branches” on
a week and insufficient foundation. |

worthwhile, by far. than any mere
smattering of everything under the

The conclusion of the whole mat
ter, as we see it. is that education is
seldom accomplished with the com-
pletest success; and when it is so ac
complished, it is the result of a for
tunate conjunction of home control
and influence with the work of a
painstaking and gifted teacker.
Either element lacking necessitates
a partial success only; for the train
