CHILDREN AS TEACHERS.
GREAT STUDENTS HAVE LEARNED
VERY MUCH FROM THEM
The Science of Modern Method* of Kdu*
cation Ha* Hern Revolutionized by tlie
Study of Child Nature—Parent* Ha
C.rrtat Deal to Learn.
From olden tiraea it bus been thought
that adults should be the teachers and
children simply learners, but in the
Nineteenth century of civilization the
greatest find that they can learn from
the little ones. The lieat educators are
those who have learned most from little
children, and the most successful prima
ry teachers are those who can see aud
f«*el things as children feel and see them
Authors of literature and textlnsiks for
children must now know child nature or
fail.
Scientific philologists are beginning to
recognize the fact that children just
learning to talk can in a few months
teach them more about how languages
are formed than can bo learned bv years
of study of dead and living lungnag
Even the philosopher and psychologist
are turning to the child for the solution
of some of the problems that have
long battled them, and the practical mor
alist turns from theories to learn of chil
dren how moral ideas are formed and
moral action called forth.
OREAT STUDENTS.
The development of the race is epit
omized in the development of the child,
and the observer may read it in the un
folding physical activity of the innocent
child, with more pleasure and profit
than in the learned histories of civiliza
tion.
Tiederinan, Darwin, Taine, Alcott.
Romanea and other learned men have
studied their own children scientifically
and taken notes on their development,
while Perez, Kussmaul and others have
made observations on a number of chil
dren. Humphreys, Ilolden and Noble
have collected and examined the vocab
ularies of several children two years old
in order Ho discover the general laws of
speech.
Emily Talbot has collected olwerva
tions of mothers on young babes. The
most thorough and accurate study has.
however, l>een made by Preyer, who
carefully observed and experimented
upon his boy during the first three years
of his life, noting dowu each day every
thing calculated to throw light upon the
capacity of children and the order of the
development of their powers.
Much light has been thrown on many
subjects by these investigations, but a
sufficient number of carefully verified
facts lias lieen collected to enable u>
with certainty to distinguish cbaracte
istics common to all from individual pe
culiarities. It has been made evident
that not only must there lie porseverin;
exactness in observing and recording the
facts, but many of them can be accu
rately observed and correctly interpreted
only by one versed in physiology and
psychology.
FLANS FOR A BOOK.
Considerable interest has been aroused
and many plans proj>osed designing to
increase scientific knowledge on the sub
ject, to bring parents into new aud
pleasanter relations with each other, and
to preserve records of interest and value
to the family. Probably no more accept
able or more valuable present could be
given to a child who had just attained
his majority than a little book contain
ing a record of his life from babyhood
The data contained in such a record
would make it possible for him to obey
the maxim, “Know thyself,” and tc
guide his life by that knowledge, while
the little incidents of childish life that
give so much pleasure when remembered
and related by the parents would bo pre
served and enjoyed by himself and hi*
descendants. Parents who have engaged
in such observations have not only
learned to understand their children bet
ter and been drawn into closer relations
with them, hut have also found the tusk
most interesting and delightful.
It will probably Imj years before the
observations of many scientists on chil
dren can be collected, but in the mean
time a father, mother or older sister of
ordinary intelligence can, by exercising
patience and care, olwerve and record
certain facts of child development that
will lie as important and reliable of
those furnished by the most learned sci
entist. These obsei vaiiuns also are t hose
made ut the must interesting age of the
child's life—tho period of the develop
ment of speech.—E. A. Kirkpatrick in
Lend a Hand.
She Stupped Smiling.
A young ludy, wearing a stylish cos
tume in a jaunty manner, stepped off a
car at Madison avenue and Forty-third
street Wednesday. She suddenly had
•>'Osa£t.72 to 7/t down mi ;<JJ fours in the
mud, and, settling over on her side, sank
broadside into the aristocratic Murray
Hill slush. A woman standing at the
edge of the curb near saw her prostrate
sister and smiled. While she was smil
ing a gust of wind blew off her litllo cap
and placed it in the center of a large,
deep puddle. Words fail to give an idea
of the misery of the jaunty maid. The
moral is obvious.—New York Continent.
Suit-iilt-* of I’eer*.
It may lie interesting to mention that
there are uo fewer than twelve cases on
record during tho present century of sui
cide among members of the jneruge.
These are Lord French, Lord London
derry, Lord (1 reaves. Lord .James Beres*
ford. Lord Munster, Lord Congleton,
Lord Forth, Lord Cloncurry, Lord Wal-
hingliam. Lord Delavvarr. Lord Lyttle-
ton and Lord Shaftesbury. Besides these
Dr. Samuel Batcher, bishop of Meath,
took his own life in 1870, and the Dow
ager Lady Howe met a similar tragic
end in tho following year.—Loudon Tit-
Bits.
Only One Thing left to Do.
"Dow <liil you stand the ordeal of lis
tening to Dr. Proxy's lecture?"
'Stand it? Why, man, 1 couldn't even
tit it I skipped it in about fire min
utes."—Munsey’s Weekly.
Htonewait JarJ<»on’» Union I-attier-ln-La*.
E. D. Lndwig, of Erie, Pa., grew to
manhood in Rockbridge county, Va.,
and just before the war was a teacher in
the Sunday school of which “Stonewall”
Jackson was superintendent. In conver
sation Mr. Ludwig said:
“Thomas Jonathan Jackson—that was
‘Stonewalls’ full name—wm» professor
of mathematics and artillery practice iu
the Washington college of Lexington,
and his father-in-law, Dr. George Junck-
lin, was president of the college. Presi
dent Juucklin was un uncompromising
Union man, and just before the war,
when the secession spirit ran very high,
a party of students one night raised a
Confederate flag over the dome of the
college. When Dr. Juucklin came down
next morning and saw the fl-ig he ordered
the janitor to take it down.
“The students told the janitor that if
he lowered the flag they would kill him.
and he refused. Dr. JunekJiu. although
upward of seventy years old. mounted
the dome, cut the haliiar Is and brongtu
the flag down. Stepping into tin* l*al
cony, lie lighted a march, set tire to the
flag, and, os it burned, said in a dear
voice that was heard by nil below
may all attempts to destroy the Federal
Union end.*
“He was at once seized by a crowd
ef the infuriated students, and eiti
zens, and it required ail the energ)
of his son-in-law, 'Stouewall* Jack
son, and a number of others to pre
vent his being hanged on the spot
A compromise was arranged by which
he was to leave the state. He liustil;
tered his family carriage, and, with what
few effects he could lay his hand* upoi.
readily, set out for Harpers Ferry, os
corted by his friends. When he had
crossed the river lie stopped the carriage
and directed the driver to wash every
particle of Virginia soil from its wl
and body.
“Now, there's a true story," concluded
Mr. Ludwig, “and one that I don't 1*
lieve ever appeared in print.”—Detroi
Free Press.
Electric Pole* in licrlltt.
In Berlin the electric arc lamp poles
are things of beauty. They are rnon
properly brackets than poles, though.
'The taps from the mains in the street.-
are carried under the sidewalk to th<
house wall and then up to the surface.
At the sidewalk begins a handsome
scroll work affair of irou, which runs uj
the house and then out over the street,
supporting the arc lamp. Near the base
is a panel door provided with lock and
key. Back of the panel is a compart
ment holding the fuse strijw and switch,
and 'a handle which tits on the square
head of a windlass shaft projecting from
one side of the compartment.
The lamp trimmer comes along iu the
morning, unlocks the pauel door, exam
ines tho fuse stripe, throws the switch,
takes out the little handle, turns the
windlass, lowers, trims and raises the
lamp, restores the handle to the compart
ment, throws down the switch, locks the
door and goes on to the next lamp. All
this work is done without climbing a
step. The whole device is painted a
dark green, picked out in gilt. Far from
being unsightly, they are real ornaments
to the street. The householders are anx
ious to have these brackets placed on
their houses, often laying lialf the cost,
and sometimes the whole cost, for the
privilege. These devices are well made
and expensive, costing about $150 each.
—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Tlie Teredo.
Tho shipworm or to redo, with its Ion:
npirul shell, would hurdly be taken for a
two valved shell, yet it is. It is the bete
noir of tho dock builder on tho Pacific
and South Atlantic coasts, boring into
the wood and depositing a lining, until
finally the wood is completely honey
combed and falls to pieces. On the
Florida reef I found that a now dock,
when the piles were protected by cas
ings covered witli tar, were rendered
nnsnfo in u little over u year. An old
wreck, comprised of the hnll of n good
sized ship, was visited by mo in 18G2;
three or four years later it had almost
disappeared.
It wus out of tho reach of tho surf,and
simply fell upurt by the notion of these
destroyers that had completely honey
combed it. so that wading up to it at
low tido I could puncture the hull any
where with my linger. Tho only wood
>vhieii seemed to resist tho inroads of
:he animal was the palmetto. 1 often
found logs or tranks flouting, and while
the terero hail attacked it they were evi
doutlydisheartened. Otircouunou torero
is but a few inches in length, but in Sir
uintrn a giant of six feet is found boring
in tho mad.—San Francisco Chronicle.
The Otltl U»t* of Word*.
It is amusing to note how many words
anil expressions we hear every day that
mean something far different from what
tfv-y «eem to mean. We are so accus
tomed to this that we pay little atten
tion to it, except when we are in thought
ful mood: and no matter how careful we
are wo gradually drop into the habit of
following our neighbor's example, and
in turn setting tho example for others to
follow.
Thus wo flml no fault with the friend
who tells us soberly that the clock has
struck one, when we know that the clock
has never bceu guilty of striking anybody.
We do not protest against hearing an
other declare that he did something
wrong because lie could not help it, as
though the wrong, had it been assisted,
would have committed itself and saved
the actual sinner from all blame.—Har
per’s Young People.
Indian Engraving.
Look at the most insignificant record
of u grant of rice to some |K»r Brahmin
in uny temple during the days of the
Chola or Chulukya, ten or fifteen centu
ries ago; each letter, each stroke or dot
stands in clear, distinct form, ns legible
as it was years ago when its wording
meant so much to the poor recipient.
Bat want of art energy is allowing this
to die. Beady aa the Indian nation is
to preeent addremee of welcome to rajahs
and to English officials of position, they
never take the trouble to engrave lasting
ones on copper.—Nineteenth Century.
