Bill Kelps His Grandchild ren iu Sol v im?" Them. TOO II All I) FOR TIIK LITTLK ONES. MODERN METHODS OF TEACHING HE DOES NOT LI K K THE CHILDREN MUST 1IAVK JILL!'' AT HOME. If two-thirds of it house costs four fifths of the let ami both together cost $4,400, how much was paid for each? Weil, that sum is easy if you know how to do it. Our little school girl has me to hcip her every night, and some of these tangled up stuns strain my old-fashioned mind, for the rule of three is abolished and new methods adopted. I remember a sum in the old Smiley-arithmetic if six men can cut 4 acres of wheat in three days by working six hours a day, how many men will it take to cut 0 acres in four days and work eight hours a day : These perplex ing problems remind me of Judge Bob Stro timer's charge to the jury in a horse case, where the plaintiff sued for damages because the horse he bought had the glanders and was a stump-sucker and wouldn't work on the off side. Fourteen witnesses had testified, some for and some against the horse, some for glanders but not for stump-sucki!! .;', some for slump sucking but not for glanders, and some swore he was sound and some unsound. "Gentlemen " said he, "if you believe that the horse had the glanders but didn't stump suck,, or that he sucked stumps but didn't have the glanders, or that glanders is an unsoundness but stump-sucking is only a habit, or if the horse wouldn't pull when worked on the off side and couldn't be cured of it, though this court knows from expe rience that he could be cured of it ; or if yon believe from the evidence that the horse was not warranted sound as against stump-sucking and off side but only against such mate rial things as glanders anil swiney and the like, th-n you must iind for the pluintiU' or the defendant accor ding to the weight of testimony.' .My candid opinion is that some of o . ' ii ii . uiese nusceuauooMs piooiems are too perplexing for children not yet in their teens, and if parents or grand parents or uncles or aunts or some body don't give help the child would give tin in despair. I have often wondered how those pit nils got along who had no help. .My father helped nte all my school life and my wife and I have helped our children. It is impossible fur a school teacher to give patient attention to each child where are thirty or forty pupils in the grade. Only five hours to teach in and four or live different text books for each pupil and that gives less than live minutes to each pupil and book, while it takes me half an hour every nighi for one pupil in f graded school, only those who are bright and willing and have, help at home. Parents that "can't help or won't help lose their home inllunce over their children. Jivery phase of their education is turned over to the ! public school, which is a free ma- j chine and teaches books only, j .Morals, modesty and obedience are j not in the curriculum. Many little j children are sent there to get them out of their mothers' way, i'or she has workto do or shopping or visit ing or must go to the club. Never theless, a few make good scholars and good citizens, and for their sake the system must go on. It is no better in the colleges, for the most , charitable estimate is 'that not more than ten in a hundred ever make a I creditable success in life. The nine-1 Ly had just as well not been born, i but the ten will save Sodom, and it will be found that these ten got their best education at home. Good mor als, good principles, obedience, self- j denial, industry, kindness and good manners are a better foundation to build on than books. To make the home happy and inviting is the se cret of all success. The family is a more important institution than the school, and love is the keystone of the family. I scolded a little grand son the other day and he got mad and went olf and told his little cous in that grandpa was mean and he was going to tell his mamma on him. Nevt morning he came to see us again and came to me and kissed me and it made us both happy. A lit tle granddaughter was troubled be cause her baby brother was sick and the doctor was sent for. hc mourn ed over it tearfully and then bright ened up and said : "Well if baby dies ) I am going to keep him for a doll." J The innocent prattle and sports of j these children is my greatest coin-1 fort, and it almost grieves me that one book Hence it is that onlv a . they have to grow up and encounter trouble and grief and misfortune. George Francis Train niav be a crank, but I had rather be him in that park with a score or two of hap py children around me every day than to be Fierpont Morgan or Koch. -feller. It is pathetic to look at that man v. ho is now past his seventy years, who has traveled all over the world; lived in Australia, lectured in England, Ireland and the United States to laboring men ; written and had published many books of travel and biography; and at last discarded ;dl contact with men and socieiy and settled down to daily comin'.i-j nicm with little children in the pub lic parks in .New York city. Ac companied by a friend I got piite near to him once, for I wanted to hear his enn versa . ion with the child ren, but he turned and saw us, ,:nd, taking up his little basket of dain ties, walked away to another seat; and scon had another crowd around him, and' the only reason lie gives for Ids peculiar conduct is, 4 'For of such is the kingdom of heaven. '' 1 am again comforted with new Looks. George Smith has sent, me his last edition of his delightful ami instructive book, "The Story of Cone'uded on 7Ui prifte. A Night Of Terror. "Awful anxiety vn 'fit for the widow of ii.e brave Gciur.il lUirnha'.r. of Mncliias, Me'., whou tho doctors said she could nol live till inornate;" writes Mrn S. VI.
