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 ' his P nn«e>sinn s u * Tf L ine °" ner u nas oc 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 diverts ^ eft b >' a glaciers stream . of and tormer , makes a even g es - dry, He 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 goes ° to work with a hope of gain, ■ , a 2T2T n£ l u ^ ne tatter case is hit.niteh abo\e merely material tt represents the remo\al °f bad tendencies and the grand purposes that, aider a hsorbedinto the being oi theebdd, j sbab be transmitted to generations - e ^ Lln born, but o\ei whose fate ; 01 * 1 " kifluence shad have been ex¬ i er *- ecb Is not that reward enough: Go back to the “uncultivated territory*' for a moment: if man J neglects the swamps they poison him ; if he makes no clearings he starves.
