VALUE OF EARLY IMPRESSIONS,
/ ' ■
BY JAMES MONROE IlAXfTKLD.
/.
/ '■
So plastic is the mind of the child,
so subject is it to the-early influen
ces of home life that the trained eye
Can see the impression made thereon
ps readily aS the.geologist cab- read
the history of tW animal* that has
left his inspression in the nock dur
ing the prehistoric ages. The "teacher
who is master of his profession can
tell at once something of the home
■life dl the pupils, and I' venture to
say that ip one term he can tell a
great deal about it.
It is a lamentable tact that parents
do not always see the important and
far reaching consequences of the im
pressions that they are making and
permiting to be made on the mind
of the child at this early age.
The building ot a character is like
the carving of a stature. The mind
of the child Is the marble upon
which wework. No sculptor would
attempt to make a perfectly formed
statue unless he was allowed to
choose his own material and do all
tbe work himself. If some one else
had begun the work and made the
impressions wrong, then it would be
impossible for him to make the per
fect statue that he would have made
although he may be able to remedy
many ct its defects. Now this work
of the .parent, the first workman, is
beyond the control of the teacher.
He must take the child as it comes
to him, whether the work be good
or bad, and seek to remedy the de
fects as best he can.
The home influences being so dif
ferent it is no wonder that the chit
dren are so different. One poor lit
tie intellect is timid and lacks self-
confidence. It expects a sharp scold
ing for every blunder that it may
make. Another is boisterous, with
out regards for the rights of others
and thinks the school; the world and
everything therein is made for his
special benefit. And so every shade
of disposition conceivable may con
fronts the teacher the first morning
of school.
I would like to leave on the mind
of every child that comes under my
care the impression that there is
good in this world if we will seek it.
The impressions sometimes are that
everything is against him.
First, gain the child’s confidence,
let him believe there is good in yon
(and it must be in you before you
before you can make him believe it)
then teach him the good .in nature
and nature’s laws. Too often chil
dren have been taught to believe
that God is a monster, who delights
the destruction of the human race
The sick are afflicted because it is
the will of God, and He takes spe
cial pleasure in visitations of His
wrath in pestilences and storms to!
destroy the- human race. 1 think
li e of the, child and make to a great
extent Ins future thoughts on these
subjects. It is needless to say here
ihqt superstition is the result of early
teachings. Fix wrong ideas in the
mind ot the child concerning God
.and, nuture aud allow them to-re
main there until maturity, and all
the correct theology and science iu
the world cannot Remove them.
You not only thus fix the thought
bnt happiness of the individual. The
acerbity of many a person, in fact,
of any person is due ton wroug view
of life and inharmony with nature’s
laWs, while to the contrary is due
the sunny an sweet disposition.

THE RURAL SCHOOL PROBLEM.
Despite the rapid grotyth in our
urban population which has been so
noticeable during the last two dec
ades the report of the latest census
shows that at least two-th’rds of the
people of the United States still liyu
remote from the larger centers of
population, upon isolated farms or
in small mining and fishing villages-
It would seem, therefore, that two
thirds of the children of these United-
States must depend, for that part of
their education which is to be gained
from books and school-life, mainly
ipon the common district school
This beiug the case, it is a matter of
the utmost importance that these
schools, the main or sole dependence
of ten millions of school lihildren, are
brought up to, and kept at, the high
est possible point of efficiency and
usefi&oess. Let it be freely admitted
that most cities and towns have
schools of which they are justly
proud, for whose improvement they
are most zealous; that the higher in
stitutionR are doing well a most im
portant work. The fact remains that
the - town school reaches only the
minority of our future citizens, that
the great majority begin and end
their school life witlufa the walls of
the district school house, aud are- af
fectec^ only iu an indirect way by the
influence of the higher institutions.
In view of this it is well to look close
ly into the conditions and problems
of the rural schools, to examine close
ly into the causes of existing defie
tcncies and to search for means of
possible improvement.—Florenue
