The teacher must not speak a
anguage unknown to the child, if
jne wishes his pupil to learn. Turn

tbooks is not progress unless the

.it is usually stated.
Following this principle of. not
.advancing the pupils faster than
toey can learn, is one of the sec
jrets of successful teaching. It is
.also one of the secrets of keeping

jhaving the pupils understand

book have been turned, and de
cide as to the childs progress by
the number turned. If the pro
gress as determined in this way is
not rapid enough they complain
and begin to fiud fault with the
teacher. The teacher being oOme
what timid and being desirous of
pleasing all, yields to the pressure
and advances the pupil. The
parents become satisfied arid the
teacher goes on. It is needles to
add that in every such case both
the parents and the teacher are
wronz, and what is worse still the
child is the real snfforer. .;
It is of the greatest importance
to the children for whoso benefit
the public schools aro taught that
the parents co-operate with the
teacher in every particular relat
ing to the school. Parents should
take an interest in the studies of
the children. Some'may say that
they have forgotten what the
Jbooks say. Yery well, suppose
yo kniarer iiero. Germany" ways
to be interested besides hunting
map questions, working sums and
parsing words and analyzing sen
tences. There are many subjects
to talk on when the children are
not learning their lessons. The
birds, the animals, the fruits, the
flowers, the snows, the hails, the
rains, the storms, the lives of
great and good men and women,
etc., afford hundreds of subjects
for home talks to the children.
Sach talks will have a tendency
to quicken the perceptive I powers
of the children's minds, and to en
able them to learn and take a
greater interest in the lessons
contained inv the school books
The interest manifested by the
parents will react on the school
and instead of haying what might
haye been' a poor school, the chil
dren will be found to make prog
