Long, Square and Cu bic Measures, when not efficiently taught, frequently become stumble-stones to the pupil, that res .It in discourage ment and failure. When the scholar realizes the dit ferenee between 3 feet square and 3 square feet to be 6 square feet (/aud the difference between 3 feet cube and 3 cubic feet to be 24 cubic feet; 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 gress of evolution. Examples: Di meusionB given, to find the area? Area aud one dimenson given, to find the other? Dimensions given,to find the oukical oontents ? Cubical con tents and two dimensions given, to find the third dimension ? Many exercises in Avoirdupoids, Troy and Apothecaries’ Weight, as well as in Dry and Liquid Measure, Longitude and Time, Circular Meas-’ are, and other miscellaneous tables lax but train the faculties of the pu pil. 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. state- There being no school fund th&t etyu- lib need for this purpose it rests mainly on the efforts of the pu pils and teachers to secure a library tor their school/ An united, ener getic and enthusiastic effort on Chen part will generally result in securing sufficient books to afford more pleas are, profit and increase of general 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.
