In the morning he draws his salary, and in the evening. Behold, it is gone ! It is a tale that is told : It is vanished, and no man knoAvs whither it goeth. He riseth up clothed in the chilly garments of the night, And seeks the somnolent paregoric Wherewith to soothe his infant pos¬ terity. He cometh as a horse or ox, and draweth the chariot of his offspring. He spendetli tlie shekels in the purchase of fine linen. To cover tlie bosom of his family.

VoL. I. MILFORD, MASS., MARCPI, 1885. No. 5. The Principal’s Recommendation. Mr. a.— Good morning, Mr. W., I have come to see yon on a matter of business. One of my trusted clerks is to leave me soon and I desire a res])on- sible person to take Ids ])lace. Think¬ ing ])erha])s you could recommend one of your scholars, I have come on this account. ] [r. W.—How old a bov do you wish ? Mu. A.—I am not very ])articular about the age, but I desire a boy who can take charge of my store, in case I am out of town. Tell me the name of some of your first class boys, please. Mr. W.—We shall commence witii the rear and come down the aisle. Master M. sits in the back seat. Mr. a. — Do you think he would suit me? IMr. W.—I fear not, that is, if yon desire your store kept in good order. If you look inside his desk you will find his books are misplaced and many pajiei’s are scattered about. IMr. a.—W ho is the next? INIr. W.—Master G., but I do not thiid he will suit you. Almost everv time I go up or down tlie street, I see him standing at some corner. The scliolar who sits in front cannot be trusted, as he does not always tell the truth, and I think you would not de¬ sire him. Mr. a. — I don’t think I should. What will you say of the next? Mr. W.—When he meets his teach¬ er he does not i-ecognize him, and upon entering a house, he does not remove his hat. If he runs against another person or in any way disturbs him, he does not ask to be excused. As your business re(piires a ] olite ])erson, I do not think you Avould fancy him. Here is still another who ])asses his time in idleness and who shirks everything he can. ] Ir. a. — None of those yet named could fill the ]K sition. Mr. W.—This vouns: man has no • O regard for public |)roj)erty and leaves his name on every desk and chair where he sits, so that when he leaves the school, his name at least will remain. Here is still another Avhose stock of common sense is very limited. Mr. a.—B ut have you no scholar Avho can fill the A ' acancy? Mr. W.— I have one who, if I am not mistaken, will l)e what you desire. I have spoken of the others first that you might know the different kinds of boys I have to manage. This scholar of whom I now sj)eak, is not one of the best in his class, although he is a fair scholar. His word may be de¬ pended upon, and I have never seen him wasting his time and ruining his character on the streets. I am sure that he is fond of good books ami de¬ spises trashy reading. I am certain that he keej)S good company. His desk and the floor about his chair are always in good condition and he is (piite ])olite. He is ever ready to thank me for a favor and acknowledge an error. He has a fair amount of com¬ mon sense. He attend.s to his own af¬ fairs and is very industrious. Mr. a. — I should like to speak with him and if he is willing I shall employ him. I am much obliged to you for your time and kindness. Vour recom¬ mendation is all that I require. Good day. M. F. c. ’85. Value of Making Apparatus. We are glad to see the great variety of articles which have been made this year by the scholars to illustrate the work of the class; for they are of great assistance in lixing the state¬ ments of the text-books. School books without illustrations should not be ))ut into the hands of scholars, for their lry facts and expla¬ nations are memorized with great dif- Hculty by an unassisted mind. Pic¬ tures, on the other hand, aid us in grasping the subject not only mwe quickly but more easily and surely. Again, if to the text and pictures, it is possible to add a model, then all the various parts and the relations they bear to one another, can be more read¬ ily seen and are more likely to be under¬ stood and retained than when we rely upon ])erspective to suggest them to our minds. Even with these favorable additions and the advantages of a xoorhing mod¬ el, after a time our memories fail us; parts and their uses become hopelessly confused and once more we must re¬ turn to the book. Is it possible to more deei)ly im- pi’ess these facts and make them more lasting? We think we can say yes. Of some inexpensive material Avith a little time and jAatience make the mod¬ el, no matter how crude, with your own hands. The care and trouble of constructing, the thinking and reason¬ ing required, and the necessary study of the little po in ts to secure a good re¬ sult, will so hx the jairts, their names and uses that the scholar cannot forget, and, further, he will have a greater appreciation of the subject. When we look at a ])iece of ap])a- ratus, we are a})t to swallow it whole, so to speak, and indigestion follows, ' rhen a few jminted que.stions by the teacher (piickly show a very superficial knowledge; but if the scholar tries to ap{)ly the knowledge he thinks he has, he will soon realize the dilference, and the satisfaction of a good recitation will follow, as well as a better grasj) of the subject. If Ave wish to know the flower, aa ' c analyze it; Ave are not satisfied Avith its picture, nor with its description, nor Avith the floAver as plucked from the parent stem, but its destrnction aids the construction of a definite, ex¬ act and lasting knowledge. So it is, Ave think, Avith our subject. c. H. M., ’85, et alius.
