EDUCATIONAL COLUMN. J. M. PEARCE, Edito*. Reading. The exercise of reading involves two distinct processes—the forming of the ideas and thoughts in our own minds by looking at the words and the utterance of the words so as to excite ideas and thoughts in the inside of others. By this analysis we see, first that reading is something more than recognizing and pronouncing words. The words are signs and are to be recognized only as a means of awakening ideasjand thoughts. If the pupil does not have them awakened by the word he uses, he does not read at all. In the second place we see there are two distinct objects to accomplish in teaching to read. The reader is to learn to associate in his own mind ideas cr thoughts with their written or printed signs; he is to learn to utter these words so as to awaken in the minds of others such thoughts as they are intended to awaken. There are then two kinds of reading, silent and audible. Which of these should the schools make the important end in teaching? Or we had better ask, which will be the most useful to the pupil, or most used by him ? Oral reading is useful in training the organs of speech, to the accurate enunciation |of words, in training the vocal organs to the production of the proper tone, and in training the organs of respiration to give the propar force in the utterance of words and in the modulation of the voice, all of which are useful in strengthening the organs themselves, in fitting the pupils to use language, and to speak so he can be heard. Oral reading is a means of communicating the thoughts, penued by ourselves others, is not to be lightly esteemed. For this it implies a clear conception of the thoughts of the author, an appreciation of his feelings, and such a power of expression as perfectly to excite these thoughts and feelings in the minds of the hearer. It implies the ability to give ourselves mind and body, in service to others. But the little, comparatively, which most persons read for the instruction of others, would not constitute suffi cient grounds for giving oral reading the prominence it has in the schools. If we reflect that the reading which men ingeneral do, is done for themselves, we shall see that the pupil is to learu silently to take the sense from the words of the written or printed page. The relation of silent reading to all knowledge acquired by reading is such that the ability to read silently can scarcely be over-estimated. Points in Reading. I. For the teacher. 1. Provide yourselves with books oo elocution, and use them daily. 2. Read or recite aloud. 3. Study author, events and geographical references of the lesson. 11. For class exercise. 1. Precede the pupils by giving a correct example of reading. 2. Have pupils assume a good position before reading. 3. Geographical places located first. 4. Name and use of punctuation marks be known. 5. Have subject-matter of lesson be given by pupil. 6. Have part or whole of lesson read from the stage. 7. Concert reading to correct faults or to rest class. 8. Have informal talks on subject suggested by the lesson. 9. Have pupils read, recite and act dialogues. 10. Have a short essay written on some subject passed over which you do not wish forgotten. 11. Have monthly examinations , oral and written, on theo- i ry and practice of reading. 1 Allow the correction at this late hour, of a few errors which crept into ' the Educational column of Feb. 3. The subject is Infinite verbs, instead , of Infinitive verbs which is divided , into Infinitive and Participle. Each i is treated under the three topics: Ist, Def.; 2nd, Classes; 3rd, Construction ; Under construction of each the numerals 1, 2 and 3 are co-ordinate. The classes of the participle are Ist, active including present act—its sign ing. Past act, its sign having understood and perfect act, its sign having expressed. 2nd, Passive, including presentpass, it's sign being expressed. Past pass, it’s sign being understood, and perfect-pass, its sign having been expressed. “A method is away of performing an act. Teaching, then, as an act, is presenting objects and subjects of thought so as to excite that mental activity which produces knowledge and culture." “Truthfulness is the soul of good be- j havior. In the application of the rules I of conduct will be found the opportu- ’ nitics to cultivate the spirit of truth- 0 fulness." “As fanners raise certain crops to a convenient height, and then plough them into the land to serve for the future growth of crops, which are after- f ward to be harvested, so our education- ■ al crop are often raised not for their ' own direct use, but that they may be ploughed into the mental soil, and decay, and by their decay nourish the future crops required for the feeding of the nations. “Useless nothing is or how, Each thing in its place is best That which seems bat idle show Serve to support and strengthen the rest." Postage stamps were first made in . the (J. S. in 1847- The firet used was , 1

The officers of the cabinet at present are as follows: W. M. Evarts, of N. I Secy, of State ; John Sherman, of 0. Secy, of Treas. Alexander Ramsey of Mo. Secy, of Interior; Horace Maynard, of Tenn. Postmaster-General and Chas. Devens, of Mass. Attorney-General. Forty drops are equal to one spoonful, and four teaspoonfuls are equal to one table-spoonful.

S., writes : “I was completely prostrated with the Asthma, out hearing of Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil, I procured a bottle, and it did me so much good, that I got another, and before it was used I was cured. My son was cured of a bad cold by the use of half a bottle. It goes like wildfire, and makes cures wherever it is used.

I was struck by lightning last summer and hove out of the window, but it didn t seem to do no sort of good. “The right application."—Mrs.D. Morrison, Farnharm Centre, P. Q. writing about Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil, : says: "George Bell used it on his son, and it cured him of Rheumatiism with only a few applications. The balance of the bottle was used by an old gentleman for 'Asthma, with the best results. It acts like a charm." Sold by Dorwin & Holthouse. The New York Tribune reports the Rev. 11. 11. Murray as saying “Death is perfiniron, that is all Well, if that is ah—if death is simply a “pe” —what do-you-call-it—“finiron, ’ it can't have a sting as alleged. We always I had a sneaking sort of feeling that it was one of those things, but, owing to a rush of political news, we never get room to say so.— Norristown Herald. “How’s the baby?,,—“His croup ;is better this morning, thank you. We gave him some of Thomas' Eclectric Oil as you advised, doctor, and shall give him some more in an hour or so.” Next day the doctor pronounced the youngster enred. Sold by Dorwin & Holthouse.

The breaking out is rapidly disappearing, and the boy's appetite is gowd for the first time.—Danville, Fa., Times. .
