Educational.
We have set aside these columns of our journal
for educational matter, and shall endeavor from
time to time to fill them with the latest items of
interest.
One in every one thousand girls of eighteen
years goes to jail as a prisoner, and yet some peo
ple say there are just as many bad women as men,
and they will vote the liquor traffic upon us
stronger than ever.
Miss Willard has accepted an invitation to give
an address at the annual meeting of the Christian
Endeavor Societies which will be held in next July.
It is expected this will be the greatest gathering
pl young people this country has ever known;
The society numbers over 300,000.
Col. F. W; Parker says: “The work .of the
school-room is to train children to love work and
to do what is necessary at each stage of growth.
Under these conditions training is the means, not
the end of education. Its great purpose, its Cen
tral value is the development of human beings.
It brings into activity body, mind and soul, so
that the design of God in the human being may
be worked out into character.”
Says an Arkansas exchange: “One of the
greatest wants of the public school system of Ar
kansas is intelligent county supervision. What is
needed is some one who is qualified to visit each
school in the county, observe the work of the
teacher, and, when necessary, point out defects in
methods of teaching and school government; in
struct directors in their duties and endeavor’ to
create in the minds of the people a greater interest
in the free schools in his county.”
What to do with the surplus revenue collected
by our government is just now a serious question.
All are agreed that more money is collected than
the government needs, but how to reduce taxation
is not clearly decided. Some suggest a reduction
of tariff on imports, others a repeal of the law tax
ing whiskey and tobacco. Now, why not divide
this surplus among the schools of our country?
Some equitable mode of distribution could be ar
ranged and our common schools would be greatly
the gainer.—[Practical Teacher.
A true teacher never thinks his education com
plete, but is always seeking to add to his own
knowledge. The moment any man ceases to be a
systematic student, he ceases to be an effective
teacher; he gets out of sympathy with learners;
he loses sight of the process by which new truths
enter the mind ; he becomes unable to understand
fully the difficulties experienced by others who are
receiving knowledge for the first time. It is by
the act of acquiring, and by watching the process
by which you yourself acquire, that you can help
others to acquire.—[Fitch, in Practical Teacher.

WHAT A VASSAR GIRL DID.
A Vassar gir] tells, in the New York Morning
Journal, of the curious ways in which some of the
poorer students earn their pocket money. Some
of the girls who come to Vassar, she says, are
as helpless as babes. They are the daughters of
millionaires, and never brushed their own hair or
sewed a button on their boots in their lives. They
are only too glad to have some one do those
things for them, and that is how the poorer girls
make pocket money. Last year a pretty blue
eyed girl came to college, and stated during the
first week that her tuition and board were paid by
a relative, but every penny for dress, car fare, and
the thousand and one little incidentals she must
earn herself.
Soon after her arrival the following announce
ment appeared on her doori
Gloves and shoes neatly mended for ten cents each.
Breakfast brought up for ten cents.
Hair brushed each night for twenty-five cents a week.
Beds made up for ten cents a week.
That little freshman made just $l5O the first
year, continues the account, and that paid all her
expenses and a good part of her tuition fees.
We solicit the patronage of the teachers through
out the state, and assure them that every effort
made by them in our behalf, to add to our circula
tion, will be appreciated.
