SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.
BT “ XEHO.
(Copyrighted)
Once upon a time a certain silver¬
smith (Acts 19. 24.-41) gathered
around him a mob, and for several
hours all cried out “Great is Diana
i of the Ephesians.” The silver¬
smith had most excellent reasons for
the agitation, since by belief in
] Diana he made his living. As for
the rest, most of them “knew not
| wherefore they were come together*’
| but they shouted just the same.
| That has always mob (not stood Demetrius forth himself)
| as an exam¬
ple of blind devotion.
* * *
Have we in our day any exper¬
ience with such a gathering? I
must answer very carefully, or
possibly a later Demetrius may be
affronted. For fiftv J J vears or more
we have heard a swelling cry that
has echoed and re-echoed through
the land, “Great is Education in
the public schools,*’ And by a sort
of mental infection the cry has been
taken up by all who heard unt il
: “Education! Education! Educa-
! tion !” greets the ear on every side.
1 Now I reckon there
were some
Ephesians who worshipped Diana
in sincerity and in truth. They ac-
tually gained strength from the
wholesome myths that had gather-
ed around her, and their shout,
therefore, meant something far more
spiritual than did the rest of the
clamor : - - much of it was for bus-
iness. So I believe that “Education*
on the tongue of growing
who look deep down into the con¬
ditions of life, means all that
helpful and hopeful in the race.
; But with the great swaying
shouting multitude, it begins
ends with parrot-like book
ledge : it is against this very com-
! mon view of the subject that these
! lines are directed.
* * *
j • As there are myriads of homes,
each, more or less wisely or mis-
: takenly solicitous regarding the
welfare and the career of one or
more children, perhaps in this col-
umn we may profitably dwell for a
while on some phases of education
that are much overlooked. Further-
more as these children will be
young people of the next century,
a right idea Of education will be just
, profitable preparation for the
as a
opportunities of the new age, d5
will be the massing and unification
of reform forces that I have dwelt
on for the past weeks.
* * *
The question to answer to your¬
self at the outset is “ What is the
child mind” t Some things it is cert-
I ainly Not, and by disposing of the
negatives, the positive purpose
education becomes clearer. It, the
child mind, is not alone a sheet
paper r r to be written on at will, nor
a gaping cistern to be filled to re-
, le tion, . plastic substance t to , be
' P nor a
'moulded i mouiaea J iust UsC as as } vou ou choose cnoose, nor nor an an
animal to be taught to act without
j reflection, . nor a mere machine to be
! and 1 kept •
set S oin S «. going t for the
purpose A of earning a living until
death puts an end to need. In some
. v „ it •. partakes , , c the nature ot all
j f these s figures o.
° of s P eech * B u tmore
j than all, it is like an uncultivated
territory to which ... the
; man, saviour,
^ " e *" " DsOlUtelJ De}ona Ills Con-
trol is the original & outline of that
tand. Its ruers, its hilis and itsval-
leys were there before it came into

wisdom, however, he carefully stud-
ies every portion and decides on the
treatment Reeded to «« ‘he great-
e5t P oss,ble g ood from the land
his disposal. He drains the low-
lands and makes them produce.
He removes the & o -reat eat hmilrior- DOU1Qer s

poor soil surrender things that are
goo d. Furthermore bear in mind, /
that whatever he puts into . his
-
neia5 h\ , wa\ , Oc fertilizer or ot seed
is of no profit at all if it retains the
condition or the form in which he
distributed it. The soil it is in must
act ‘ upon it, taking from the fertil-
lzer 1 or giving up to the seed : and
therein is the wisdom of the hus-
bandman shown in suiting his eff-
orts to the character of the ground
a nd then leaving light and air, soil
and moisture, things he never made
and never can make, to do their
unobserved work by day and by
night. One other point, and we
will turn to the application of this
somewhat lengthy similitude .* . I
Each of all the tracts of land in ■
vour town calls for different atten¬
tion. Every farmer reader of these
lines will sav “Amen" to that.
* * *
Thus it is with the child mind.
Fond mother, bending over your
dull-eyed babe for the first look of
recognition, though that child is
yours in a wonderful sense, bone of
vour bone, ilesh of your flesh, vet
after all physically and mentally, it
is nothing but a gathering into liv¬
ing form of inheritances of body and
of mind that has come down through
generations. Its later life may con¬
vince you even that in some instances
those gifts from earlier ages reach
back to the days of savagery. It is
for you and the teacher to operate
upon conditions as you find them.
Each child in a family has peculiar¬
ities of its own. Each little creat¬
ure calls for individual consider-
at j on , j ust as , vith each 0 f aU the
farms in your toW n. If the attempt
is made to treat all alike in train-
i ing and in control the result is dis
, .
j astrous and cruel . This one needs
t0 be urged to self assurance ; that
one to be heId ; n check . here per .
fect frankness must be used to
counter act a lying tendency; there
a little effort made to set a too con¬
fiding nature on its guard. Your
failure to recognize all this means
danger to the child and demon¬
strates your unfitness for training.
I know it will be said that it is
fearfully difficult to give this close
personal attention to each one.
Certainly it is. So is it much more
difficult to clear a piece of land than
to leave it alone, but the farmer
