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 Burlingame, in.the School Journal.
