A correspondent of the Maine Journal of Education thus describes a scene in Prussia, the model school country of the World : “The class being ranged, with slates and pencils in their hands, tho master pronounces a subject. ’■ “ Let me see,” he will say, “ to day is a market-day. You live, we will say, not here, but in the little dorf of Hen’s Nest, one hour away. Mother sends you to market with something to sell, and something to buy ; you . are not to go home to her to-night, and so you want to write a letter, telling her what you have done. Now, then, begin. What shall wo write down first I” “ I have sold the three hens for” —shout out a little fat, _ white- haired boy, who plainly is used to sell his mother’s farm produce. “ Stop!” says the master ; “you are too fast. That is not the way to begin j wo will come to that alter.” Here several rise and ask to be heard. A little girl shouts out, “ My dear mother J” “ No,” says the llcrr ; “ that is good ; it will come a little Inter. Another I” “To-day is Friday.” “That is right! l)ut there is more to add.” At last it is settled that the name of the place, and tho day of the month, and iterhaps the hour of the da}', if neerl lie, shall all be set down first, and at the right hand of tho letter, betore any thing ekse be done. Having set tled-now what is first to bo done, next comes the question how to do it, and the competition who shall do it best. The end of tlie room has huge blackboards, sponges, and chalk, and towels, with little long rows of steps for the little ones to climb up. The letter has first to be writ ten out (ill draft) on tho chalk board, corrected and settled finally before it is allowed to bo written with ink on paper. Now, tlien, a little child is called out to write on each board, at the right-hand corner, the name. Swallow’s Brook, the day, Friday, the date, Septeinber 20, 18C7. Tlie ar rangement of this gives rise to variety of opinion and discussion. Shall “ Swallow’s Brook ” go down as two words or one? Shall tho second part have a capital letter? Shall a stroke part the words? Shall “Friday” go be low or on the line I Shall we write 20 Sept., or 20 September, or Sepsomber 20? Shall we put 18G7 below or on a line ? Shall wo begin near the top of the board, or lower, or more right or left, and on three lines, two or one 1 At last the best is settled, and tho master asks the cleverest girl to write down the pattern agreed, dating at the righchand corner, with the proper margin all round, and this is now copied over by eacli on tho slate as tho right heading. “ My dear mother ” is rightly placed, at last, the same way, and, preliminaries adjusted, tlie real business of the day begins in earnest. “ My dear mother—I did not get into Swallow’s Brook before tho hand on the clock, .on tho lower ohurcli, told three-quarters of eight,” and so forth. The letter being finished, re vision and criticism begin. Each pupil changes slates with her or his neighbor, who has to pick holes and find fault. The cor rected slates were all shown to the master, who gives tho finish ing touch. At last they all sit down to the desk, take pen and ink, mend their pens, rule their paper and write out the letter fairly on the pages of their letter- book, which is to form a standard of reference for any letters of the sort they may want to write in their future life. The profit, and in a large de gree, the interest of study at school is to be learning something prac tical, and the above is certainly a fine example of this.” says she intends to break down housekeeping. Am I right there ?” “ Brealc up housekeeping, she must have said.” “ 0 v'es, I remember. Break up housekeeping,” “Why does she do that?” 1 asked. “Because her health is so broken into.” “ Broken down, you should say.” “ Broken down, O yes. And indeed, .since tlie small pox has broken up in your city”— “ Broken -out" “ Slio thinks she will leave it for a few weeks.” “ Indeed ! And will she close her house ?” “No; she is afraid it will be broken, broken--How do I say that ?” “ Broken into." “ Certaiiilv, it is what I meant to say,” • “ is her son to be married soon ?” “No, that engagement is bro ken—broken”—■ “ Broken off. All! I had not heard that.” “ She is very sorry about it. Her son only broke the news down to her last week. Am 1 riglit ? I am so anxious to speak tho English well.” “ Bio merely broke tlie news; no preposition this time.” “It is hard to understand. That young man, her son, is a fine fellow ; a breaker, I think.” “A broker, and a very fine fellow. Gooil day.” “ So much,” thought I, “ for the verb ‘ to break.’ ”— Youne/ Folks' News.
