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.
