By Miss Floe* Boyce before the Teachers Association Jan. 22, 1901. A child is the most progressive of eings and grammar the most pro resaive of studies. To my mind ho age of the child has little to do ith it, but trlining in the lower rades has everything with it. We nd in nearly every ungraded school hildren advanced in some studies nd lagging far behind in others ound in my school this year a child •ho reads well in the Fourth Read r, is in Elementary Geography and rho ia good oral apeller but who has ever been taught anything in Lang- age, and knows absolutely nothing if numbers. Now it would be tardonable folly to put that child to rork on Technical Grammar. Edu iaiion, to reallv educate, must begin it the bottom of every subject, and he Language work neglected before sannot be skipped over if we would make the study a success later on Grammar is the science of the sen tence but the senotenoe is made up of words, and their formation must be studied first. I saw somewhere ibis thought and it impressed me, The sentence is a machine for .hought-giving; it is made up ot tarts needful for its successful use just, as a sewing machine or typewrit- :r. We .would not think of studying ibout the machine in a book if we tad one by us to examine the object tself. To thereby understand it, we itust take it apart and study the pie ces separately, learn how and of what they are made and their re- peetive uses m the work to be au- omplished. - Words are the pieces of this ma bine for thought-exprecsion. .The upil must know how to spell and rite them, and, by the wav, written pellmg is one of the first great aids n language work; he should also know the abbreviations in common use, how to use Intelligently capital letters, periods, interrogation points and the possessive sign. He should be drilled in the use of singular anl plural forms of verbs and to use am PLANT SYSTEM. Florida and Cuba. Daily Passenger Service.

Right here there are quick sands. Let us avoid them. The stdy of our language is dry to the average child unless we take varied measures to make It otherwise. If vexed with umberless rules and their suicidal exceptions Or bewildered by disouss- loiis they cannot understand they’ll hate it. aud I don’t blame them, we would, too. Create beforehand neoessity for every rule, definition or caution by giving explanations ol and hints for the for the study of the following lesson and show in what way the knowledge To be gained eau be practically used. Exercises, and numerous ones bearing on the sub ject, must be given to quicken thought aud tax invention. The diagram, j tdicioualy used, is the most attractive and helpful de vice I have found for the pupils, par ticularly those of Reed & Kellogg which we now use. Iu them eyery line has its specific use and shows at glance the relations of every word and division of the sentence. It is wonderful how these pictures of an alysia impress the right construction of the sentence and at the same time so please the children with mechani cal work. However, they are only the means to an end and this should be ever kept in miud. In teaohing Grammar, absolute ac curacy is needful, and exercises of the neatest and most correot style should be insisted upon. Most im portant and effective of all rolea for us is example. We, the educators of the future men and women should make uf orrselves fit exemplars of the rules we teach. The teacher of English should be a student of Eng lish, pot only as a literature but as language. We cannot teach this year by last year’s schedule and although wo, doubtless, all have found that “Un easy lie the heads of all who rule his, most of all, whose kingdom is school,” yet no other profession seems to me is blessed with such height ot ideals as is ours. To the devoted teacher there is always some thing beyond, something to strive for, something to gain and we find no other study more inexhaustible in both matter and method than that of our mother-tongue. the following counties: Baker, ;rrien, Clav, Calhoun, (Jolq itt, Coffee, Douglimv, Dooly, Decatur, | SAVANNAH, Lee; Houston, Mitchell, Miller, Run- lolph, Sumpter, Terrell, Thomas and Worth.

Only ono from each county will be admitted to each contest, and that one should be the accredited repre sentative of the county, selected by local school anthorliies through com petitive contests in each county.

Feign ing illness to escape duty is called the army malingering and is alway punished when detected. A child who habitually complains ot head ache just before school time should be put on a 6ofa in a darkened room not permitted to read, not look pictures, and have a hot water ba placed at his leet. If the ailment real this is the best treatment for the early stages; if it feigned the silence and solitude soon become so irksome that the culprit is glad to do in thing to escape from them. Otlur affected pains should be treated as if they were real, and it should be dis- t'nelly understood in the family that the child who is too ill to go to s ;hool and to learn his lessons, is too ill to be out of bed. If a child play truant the lessons he loses should be made up at home in his play time, Thomftisville, Valdosta,- Waycross, CHARLESTON, BRUNSWICK, JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA POINTS. and all Through.
