Mr. Editor: j One thing everybody, excepting teachers, know how to do. ia to properly conduct a school aod teachers should allow tfaemaelvea to be told hy those 6 who really know, just how they abradd _ dmktact themselves aod should be duly ' grateful for all the suggestions given them in the public patent or prints or i otherwise.' True they" have spent years and yesrs in acquiring the training now held to be necessary before they can be engaged in the occupation - of teaching, but in spite^of all- this, 1 they do not seem to realise that tenj year-old Johnny or eight-year-old Susan knows fa heap more than they do, and I that the tales they carry. home to mama or papa are always true. A [ really good and perfect child always Knows everything which is going on in the school room, and s<£ool 'building and always carries it home straight. > We cannot understand how a teacher car, be so impertinent as to question the truth of it either. There are some people whose boys or girls are not so - perfect or who have none, who are foolish enough to think that it ia impossible for children to tell the truth. Mi the whole truth and nothing but the >e truth, because they have not adequate I. powers of expression and because their judgment is not sufficiently matured. " How foolish these people are? Any child knows things bettor 'than teacher is and its word must not be questioned, ie especially when its "my" child. Why "my" child can see all that goes on in n the school room and building and^tell it to me every day and learn his lesy sons and recite perfectly every day too, and what right has a teacher ;to give I- "my"' child low yrks? Don't this !. show that the 'achrol and the teachers i- are no good? Surely, and then think i, of the nerve of "demoting" Bucb a i- child ! It's outrageous and it's little enough to ask as punishment for this II that every teacher and every pupil must stop having any social or other recrean tion for the rest of the term. They don't have it, anyhow, they say. Some II foolish person, actually had the g audacity to say to me, "It looks as though the school was becoming pkificient and well -organized and giving a 'square deal' when it begins Ao have 'demotions' because it would be much easier to let things slide easy, without n 'demotions' as they used to do, if tbey k were not striving to conduct tb» school fairly." But what can you expect ' from Cape May people, anyhow. My - children are always right and they t are the smartest children in this ber lighted town, and they know a good e deal more just naturally than most . people. How could it be otherwise B when you consider who's their parents ! Another idiot asked me "If I didn't think it better for a child to he de- [ moted' than to struggle along with work beyond Jitp powers, and previous r j acquirements. " Certainly not. That's nonsense. What parents want is to see their children pushed along through without break, so they can "point . with pride' and feel |that they are ap . preciatol in the community. What's ' the difference whether a child learns 1 all that stuff anyhow. A good deal . ought to be taken for granted with i such children as mine, and really mv i social standing should be taken into r consideration, also, and my children should not be questioned nor examined so critically. They know it all even if 1 they can't tell it and I will not have j 'em "demoted," so there. INDIGNANT. J, i WHEN. WHERE AND HOW TO STUDY • (A resume of a suggestive talk to j the pnpils in (he High School and up- 1 per grade of the Cape May City schools i ! ' recently given by Supervising Princi- | i 1 pal Moyer. 1 i | | "Pupils should make the best possi- I ( ble use of study periods in school . I hours. Tbey should reserve the afterj noous after 3 :30 p. m., for exercise I and recreation, seldom or never using I these for study, except on Saturday. The evenings following school days | should be given to study from about J j 7 to 10 p. m. "Attention is the most important ac- I ' ( quisition for pupils, the power of close, concentrated attention which always i . accompanies great intellectual ability, ' I and which mu.t usually be cultivated | I and slowly acquired by perseverance, j j "Interest'js'a cause and alpo • resolt f I of attention. A pupil attends to what ! I interests him. He also becomes more ' | anf) more deeply interested in a sub- 1 j | ject as he attends closely and persist j . ] tently to it, and becomes more fam- ! . iliar with it. Pupils can learn to like ! 1 a subject even when tbey begin with a 1 ® prejudice against it or the teacher. | "Pupils must comprehend the mean- I t j ing of what they study. It ia quite j | useless to memorize words, which con- 1 u [ vey no clear meaning to the mind. A | f i lesson should be read and re-iead care- i a [•fully and, if necessary, often. It j I should be analyzed into important j _ | beads. Pupils should learn to recite from topical analysis. The dictionary rhould be frequently and carefully con- I suited, whenever words are not fully I understood. The various studies, lanliterature, histoqr, science.fcnath ematics, etc. , require different methods of study. It is the duty of the teacher of each class to instruct the pupils in the proper methods of study for that subject. Language and literature require abundant reading and practice in expression. The meaning and use of words ia of importance. History compares the ideals and acts of other periods with thosetofgour own. Science involves observation and experiment. are of secondary importance. e

i Ma' hematics involved the reasoning powers. Memorizing of words will help hut little. Foreign languages are s of value for themselves, bdt still more' t because they increase appreciation and . understanding of the mother tongue. With increasing age pupils become less dependent upon the text book ; and the dictum of the teacher, and : more eager to investigate for them- , selves. This ia an important stage in mental development Without it acien-e would be impossible. 1 "But pupils mustflearn to'use and un- . derstand books in school. The reading i habit must usually be formed young or t it is never formed. Ref-rence books, r encyclopedias and even dictionaries are I sealed mysteries to many because tbey > haTe not teamed the use of these at ' school. The pupil must do his own . work : nc teacher can do it for him . Too much help is often worse 'than too i little. Pupils must learn the jo v of ; conquest, the satisfaction which comes . from mastering diffiulties. Pupils I i must learn to study intensively. An i : hour of uninterrupted, close application may be of more value* than several j i honre of listless lolling over books, i with the mind far away dream-ng of j i play or even of nothing at all ' i School is a place for activity not for , passive dresming.
