When the scholar realizes the dit

then lie or she has reached a point of
mnd discipline (reflection) that will
buoy the spirit and leave a fayorable
and lasting impression.
Again, there'aro many problems
in lines, squares and cubes that re
quire a h.gli degree of concentration
on the part of a young mind in pro

The study of Compound Quantities
is a fruitful study. It combines what
is practically useful with what serves
as a mental gymnastic. It creates a
condition of the mind, consciousness,
in which it is cognizant of ils own
operations, now and here. A con
sciousness which directed by an act
of the will gives birth to attention,
interest anil concentration, for receiv
ing the best impressions iu the right
direction. It develops the all impor
tant faculty of reflection orreflex-ao
tion by .which the mind turns back
wards upon itself to contemplate its
own states and operation. This is
the discipline of the mind and, like
attention, should be obedient to the
will.
The faculties of suggestion, ab
straction and memory are strength
ened by the careful and judicious
study of reduction, addition, subtrac
tion, multiplication .and division of
Compound Quantities, with such
practical problems that occur in real
life, for farmers, day-laborers, artes-
lails, etc.
Such are my thoughtful views up
on the theme assigned to me, and I
am assured that it is iu the province
of wisdom tc postpone the study in
question until an advanced Arithme
tic is reached. The study of Arith
metic fixes the mind on fact and
proof, giving it firmness, clearness,
solidity, and leading to the ultimate
discovery of material and mechanic
al forces.

knowledge to the community than
anything else.
A good way to start at it is for
the matter to be thoroughly explain
ed to the pupils by the teacher, to
arouse enthusiasm and interest in the
children and get them to organizi
themselves into a school Lillian
Club, select a chairman, secretary
and treasurer, and go to work to de-
vise means aud schemes to obtain the
necessary funds. This can be done
in many ways: Each pupil can prom
ise so much weekly or monthly, the\
can solicit subscriptions from parents
and friends, probably a few simple
entertainments can be gotten up, or
a festival or fair bo held. Indeed,
if the teacher but once gets the chil
dren to realize what a benefit and a
pleasure will be to them he will be
surprised nt the number of sugges
tions they will make to raise the
money—and the work once started
will not stop, put each succeeding
school will see it kept up and the li
brary will become a blessing and a
pleasure to the community and ac
complish untold good.
