SOME EDUCATIONAL PRO VERBS.
Attention is a lesson to be learned, and quite as much a matter of training as any other lesson. A dull boy's mind is a wise man's problem. Tho teacher makes the taught do tho work, and occupies himself in showing them how to do it, and seeing that they do it. The beginning of teaching consists in rousing some intelligent appreciation of what is known by rote,'or .duly seen by eyes that See not, and daily done without understanding, and despised because not understood, No one ever yet in all the worlds wrested a truth worth having from an unloving tmd unloved owner. The transmission of life from the living, through the living, to the living, is tho highest definition of education. The limits are narrow indeed within which the whip is master, Genius is an infinite capacity for work, grown out of an infinite power of love, Half tho bad work of the world arises from want of hope, not from want of vigor, The beginning of all true power lies in getting closer and cldser by living observation to that which has to be known. Glory to the strong, on tho reverse side of the shield, is oppression to the weak,—" The Theory and Practice of Teaching."
