she can not help herself, it would be far "better to ask her how far she had prepared herself to fulfill her duties, in her position, as an independent member of society. In fact, whether she could cook a dinner, choose a piece of meat, and provide for husband and family. Now, in whatever way we look at it, whether from tho sentimental or the economic side, it is scarcely to be thought of, that a woman can ever keep her husband's esteem and love unless she can cook him a dinner, if he should ever require it. The consciousness of that accomplishment ij alone sufficient to endow a woman, high or low, with a certain importance. If her deft fingers themselves prepare the meal, or her good sense anyhow arranges it, our husband must feel that there exists a certain power of doing something for him which obliges him in return to be pleasant and agreeable, and puts a peculiar curb on his ''husband temper'' that is sure to come out occasionally. Our husbands" are peculiar beings, wanting a deal of management to get along with, requiring all kinds of "sops to Cerberus' to mold their minds serenely, and certainly having a right to that attention for which they work and pay. To neglect a husband in the matter of food is about the worst thing a woman can do; taking no higher ground there will be an end to little extra cheques and dollar bills. Why should he be generous if nothing is dene lor him? And when that neglectful servant-maid just manages to bring up some burned chops, poor potatoes and badly washed lettuce, while his wife is returning from her shopping eipedition, blood won't stand it, and the husband soon disappears, if there is any place to disappear to, to console himself elsewhere. Now, look at 'our husband," who comes home to that neatly-laid table, with a pretty vase in the center, and an appetizing meal placed before him. There aro a few fish cutlets and a fresh tomato salad, a light lamb stew with vegetables and the mealiest of new potatoes, while dainty butter with parsley is by his side; the very nicest blanc mange with stewed fruit completes the moderate course, and a small cup of coffee with cigar (we allow a cigar for peace sake) follows up the little affair. If our husband is reasonable and has a moderate income, he is satisfied and begins saying "that he thinks it is time to look up something in the shape of the White mountains or the seaside, and that he believes the banker's book will stand tho strain on it." His nerve centers, as our doctor has it, have been fed; he is trim with himself and everybody else, and ready to share his comfortable feelings with her who has ministered unto him. Pity our husband who is a constant diner out; half the enjoyment of his life has gone. He is an amphibious creature, living half on land and half on water, never anchoring safely in port; in iact, a dinnerless husband is a sad, helpless being, whose moorings are drifting loosely about. "Our husband" i3 really the prop of the land, and our national institutions should be maintained. It is not the bachelor who bears the burden he only aggrandizes him-
that they become responsible, self-determin
ing agents, and in that sense free and inde pendent.
How educational systems have been and
are still related to this great tendency is a
verv interesting question, it can not be
denied that they have had 6ome share in
Dromotinir it. but their influence on the
whole must be counted as powerfully ad'
verse to it. In fact, school government has
been generally mode'od on the conception of
monarchical government; the teacher has
been a "master, and has ruled bis subjects
bv arbitrary coercion. The rod the instru
ment ot most degrading punishment has ever been the symbol ot educational cotrol ; and, although it begins to be widely seen
that it does no ret resent the bitter method, thousands of schools are still fighting to maintain it. The schools reflect the general condition of thought, and, if the State is
stringently coercive and the people tolerate it, the schools will imitate the policy. Be
sides, men love the exercise of power, and
teachers are no exceptions to this dangerous
propensity. External compulsion, more
over, is the simpler and easier way of governing, and, in fact, is all that is left to the
teacher without resources. The resort to the
rod and kindred measures stamps the teach
er with incapacity for his vocation that is,
with an ability to govern by the best
methods. Everybody knows that the Tod
plays no such important part in the work of
education as it formerly played, its sphere
has been encroached upon by superior in flu
ences. Itsstanchest defenders only claim
to use it 4,sparngly, and the best teachers
reject it openly and entirely
The old system is thus partially outgrow
and much discredited; but there has as yet been but little intelligent and adequate effort to organize the method of self-gov
ernment in its place. 1 he more onensive
forms of coercion aro abated; but school
government still mainly rests upon external authority, though brought to bear in milder ways. There seems to be still but little
recognition of the principle that the essential and supreme work of education is to form character by the cultivation of selfcontrol, which implies liberty and responsibility. And this is not to be learned by precept, but by practice. Self-government, like music, can only be acquired by exercise, and to gain this the school itself must be worked by this method. Students must be thrown back upon themselves, and habituated to responsible self-direction. As this is the highest result of education, so it is undoubtedly the most difficult of attainment. The grosser forms of punishment may be quite dispensed with, and still the school -government may be that oi external caretaking and paternal regulation. The model college president has been the man who could know or divine everything that is going on among the students, and circumvent and disconcert them in all their little irregularities. Under this system it has ever been the ambition of the students to beat the faculty, and it naturally engenders a state of antagonism between the students ard the governing authorities. Such a system by its very nature must fail to develop the most valuable traits of manhood.
