[" 6] be, IL i.I, THE EDUCATIONAL RECORD OF THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC.No.10.OCTOBER, 1899.Vor.XIX.Practical Hints and Examination Papers.\u2014 ACCURATE OBSERVATION.\u2014How few persons there are who observe accurately! Pestalozzi\u2019s message to the world was * teach the child to observe and dmitate ;\u201d and teachers have been trying faithfully to follow his instructions.Yet we find students in our university halls who have still much to learn in the direction of observation, though they are adepts at imitation.Here is a case in point, from the note book of a college professor : \u201c Gentlemen, you do not use your faculties of observation,\u201d said an old professor addressing his class.Here he pushed forward a gallipot containing a chemical of exceedingly offensive smell.\u201cWhen [ was a student,\u201d he continued, \u201cI used my sense of taste,\u201d and with that he dipped his finger in the gallipot, and then put his finger in his mouth.\u2018Taste it, gentlemen, taste it,\u201d said the professor, \u201c and exercise your perceptive faculties.\u201d The gallipot was pushed towards the reluctant class.One by one the students resolutely dipped their fingers into the concoction, and with many a wry face, sucked the abomination from their fingers.\u201cGentlemen, said the professor, \u201cI must repeat that you do not use your faculties of observation, for had you looked more closely at what I was doing, you would have seen that the finger which I put in my mouth was not the finger I dippad in the gallipot.\u201d \u2014SOME QUESTIONS FOR THE 1'EACHER\u2014Is there a museum near your school?Have you ever taken your pupils there ?Did you take them for any definite purpose ? 154 THE EDUCATIONAL RECORD.Have you ever been there yourself?Why did you go?Are there any factories or workshops near the school?Have you ever taken the children there?Did the manager refuse to let yon in?Why ?Is there any stream near the school-house\u2014 within the radius of a few miles?Have the children ever gone with you to note how running water acts upon the country through which it flows?Is there a wood near by?Do your children bring you nature\u2019s beautiful gifts or the objects of man\u2019s ingenuity and skill for your admiration?If not, why not?Have you never told them that it would please you very much if they did ?Have you given them to understand that you do not care for those things, that you are only interested in what you can find in books?Museums, factories and workshops are not open to all teachers, but the wonders of nature may be had for the seeking.It is sometimes unsafe to take children to factories, and for that reason the managers exclude them.Meddlesome children are a nuisance in public buildings.\u2014IN natures infinite book of secrecy, À little I can read.Shakespeare.\u2014NATURE is not at variance with art, nor art with nature; they being both the servants of His providence.Art is the perfection of nature.Were the world now as it was on the sixth day, there would yet be a chaos.Nature hath made one world and art another.In brief all things are artificial ; for nature is the art of God.Sir Thomas Browne.\u2014 WHY WE HAVE READING IN THE SCHOOL COURSE.\u2014 Of all the ordinary branches of school-work reading is the most important.Let us see why this is so, and as an outcome of this enquiry we shall learn why we have reading in the school course.fin the first place reading is the \u201copen sesame\u201d to all books, (a large part of the accumulated wisdom of the ages), newspapers, magazines, letters, and so forth.The reading must be done either by the child himself or by others for him.The object of education is to place the child in a position to overcome the obstacles he encounters, i.e., to help himself and to render assistance to others.The child has no right to ask from others what he can do for himself.The world owes him nothing.So he must learn to read to get information for himself But he must also help others, for he owes the eo \u2014 = PRACTICAL HINTS AND EXAMINATION PAPERS.155 world much, and one way of paying his debts is to read for his less fortunate neighbors, the young, the aged, the blind, and the sick, etc.We see, therefore, that the child Jearns to read to acquire knowledge or thoughts and to impart knowledge or thoughts.To get the utmost possible advantage from reading the child must be able to gather rapidly from the printed page, and to read to others with ease, in a pleasing tone of voice and so as to convey the exact meaning of the writer.But it is of little use to put this useful tool \u2014the art of reading\u2014into the hands of the child, unless at the same time we teach him on what material to work with it.He may spend all his life in reading the frivolous, or the base or both.Better for him if he had never learned to read.Let all the extracts of reading be of the highest tone.How reading should be taught to secure the three points brought out in this discussion will be considered next month.\u2014THE foundation of knowledge must be laid by reading.General principles must be had from books, which, however, must be brought to the test of real life.What is said upon a subject 1s to be gathered from a hundred people.The parts that a man gets thus are at such a distance from each other that he never attains to a full view.Samuel Johnson.\u2014WORDS oF INTERESTING DERIVATION COMING FROM THE LATIN.\u2014Companion is from \u201ccon,\u201d with, and \u201cpanis,\u201d bread.He is therefore one who shares your bread.Umbrella is from \u201cumbra,\u201d a shade; ounce and inch, from \u201cincia\u201d a twelfth part ; vague, from vagor, I wander\u2014 wandering in thought.The word terrier is from \u201cterra,\u201d the earth, so named from the fact that the terrier goes into the ground for animals that burrow.Contagion is from \u201ctangs,\u201d I touch ; study, from \u201cstudium,\u201d zeal ; vie- tuals, from \u2018\u201c vivo,\u201d I live ; stable is the standing place from \u201csto,\u201d I stand ; vain, from \u201cvanus,\u201d empty\u201d; vehicle and convey, from \u201cveho\u201d I carry;

and envy, from \u201cin,\u201d against , and \u201cvides,\u201d I see.Perhaps the most interesting of all is trivial.Trench says of it, \u201cTrivial is a word borrowed from the life, Mark three or four persons standing idly at the point where one street bisects at right angles another, 156 THE EDUCATIONAL RECORD.and discussing there the worthless gossip, the idle nothings, of the day ; there you have the living explanation of the words trivial, trivialties, such as no explanation which did not thus root itself in the etymology would ever give you, or enable you to give others.For then you have the \u201ctres,\u201d three, the \u201cvial\u201d ways the trivium, and trivialities properly mean such talk as is holden by those idle loiterers that gather at these meeting of three roads.\u2014I AM not so lost in lexicography as to forget that words are the daughters of earth, and that things are the sons of heaven.Samuel Johnson.\u2014REMINDERS FOR TEACHERS.\u2014There should be an abundance of light in the school-room but not a glare of light.It should be possible to open a large portion of each window.High windows give the best light and the best ventilation.The temperature of the school-room should not fall below 55° F.Each school-room should have a library and museum, possibly embryonic for some time.No school-room need be without works of art.Itis possible to procure, at a cent a piece, engravings of the masterpieces of art.When sitting at their desks children should be able to place the flat part of the foot on the floor.No seat should be without a back.Children should sit erect.An untidv school-room is a very poor object lesson.A little tact will prevent a great deal of punishment.Discipline should pass more and more into the hands of the pupils as they increase in years and wisdom.Stupidity is sometimes mistaken for obstinacy.So-called lazy children may be weak in body, suffering from some incipient disease that lowers the vitality.School songs should have a motive \u2014 to inspire loyalty, bravery, truthfulness, etc.Singing should be sweet, not necessarily loud.Singing is good for the lungs, circulation and general deportment of the child.It is impossible for the child to use his own language with ease and fluency unless he has many opportunities of speaking and writing English.There is no branch of school work in which there is more cramming done than in history.\u2014EXAMINE History, for it is \u201c Philosophy speaking by experience.\u201d \u2018 Carlyle.i th De PRACTICAL HINTS AND EXAMINATION PAPERS.157 \u2014THE following exercises are valuable not only for acquiring facility of expression but also for showing the difference between words, phrases and clauses\u2014a very puzzling distinction for some children.The teacher will be able to supply others :\u2014 1.Change the following words in italic to phrases: She sang sweetly the songs of childhood.The sailors danced boisterously.The man sang boldly 2.Change the following phrases to clauses: Winter having returned, the birds went to the south.Having read the letter, he returned it to his pocket.At eventide it shall be light.Having finished the chapter he closed the book.\u2014A PracTICAL PROBLEM FOR Bovs.\u2014What is the value of Great Britain's ships?There are 64 battleships at an average value of 812,000 pounds each, 15 coast defence vessels at 200,000 pounds each, 22 armoured cruisers at 510,000 pounds each, 119 protected cruisers at 240,00) pounds each, 16 unprotected cruisers at 139,000 pounds each, 35 torpedo vessels at 65,700 pounds each, 120 torpedo boat destroyers at 50,000 pounds each.and 98 torpado boats at 20,000 pounds each.If the 27 ships now in course of building be added it will raise the total cost of the navy to 125,000,000 pounds.What is the total cost of the navy in pounds ?What will be the average cost of each new vessel 2 How many vessels are there in the British navy ?What is the cost of the navy in Canadian money if the pound be valued at $4.84 ?\u2014THE name that dwells on every tongue, no minstrel needs.Translation by Longfellow.\u2014THE RELATION BETWEEN TEACHER AND SALARY.\u2014 Although the thoroughly earnest and conscientious teacher does not make salary the chief end of her work, yet there is a connection between these two, the teacher and the salary ; for, the school with money at its disposal is on the look out for the best teachers and can command the best teachers.\u201c Miss Collie, lately appointed head mistress of the Bed- ford, England, High School for Girls, receives a salary of £1,000, and the place she fills is looked upon in England as one of the best posts open to women in the world.The Bedford High School for Girls is part of the system of schools at Bedford, which is supported by the Harpur PTs It NI LRT 158 THE EDUCATIONAL RECORD.foundation.Sir William Harpur, Lord Mayor of London in 1561, left a piece of land in London for the endowment of a free school at Bedford, and for portioning poor maidens there ; the surplus income to go to the poor.Twenty- five years ago the land produced £14,000 a year, and doubtless does much better now.It has made Bed- ford the best endowed town in England, considering its size.Nearly all the income of the fund goes to support schools, that being found to be the best way to spent it.Families from other towns come to Bedford to have their ch:ldren educated, but still the fund tends to be over-ample, and the governors, being in constant peril of having money spoil on their hands, are moved to pay very good \u201csalaries.Naturally by so doing they get excellent teachers, and the reputation of the schools is kept at a high standard.\u201d \u2014 Harper's Bazar.\u2014GoT AND G-OTTEN.\u2014Got is frequently used with have to denote mere possession.This should not be done.In the sentence \u2018* the baby has got a spoon,\u201d got is superfluous.1t is sufficient to say \u201cI have a pencil,\u201d * you have more than vour share.There was a time in the history of the English language, when gotten was almost obsolete.It owes its resurrection to the above mentioned mistake, for gotien meant acquired, and it was revived to use with have to express the idea of possession by acquiring.Either got or gotten may be used with have when there has been an actual getting as \u201c | have got the book after diligent searching.\u201d The Friends Intelligencer tells the story that a recent discussion at a dinner table, whether \u201cgotten\u201d or \u201cgot\u201d were the preferable participle, received a practical solution, at least for the telegraph service, from the experience of a college professor who preferred \u201c gotten.\u201d He had telegraphed to his wife, *\u201c Have gotten tickets for the opera tonight, meet me there.\u201d The \u201ctelegraph operator \u2018rendered this into * Have got ten tickets for the opera, ete.\u201d Mrs.Professor was delighted with the opportunity of entertaining her friends, and accordingly made up a party of eight besides herself, whose greetings to the professor at the rendez-vous were pr obably more cordial than his feelings, until matters were explained.He now makes an excep- gion to his customary use of \u201c gotten.\u201d \u2014AccENT IN ENGLISH WORDS.\u2014Frequently the correct sound of the vowels and consonants in a word is given vs 1 ed ED pa yt og em OAD ed ren ev ream ee em ee PRACTICAL HINTS AND EXAMINATION PAPERS, 159 but the accent is placed on the wrong syllable.À list of words that should receive the accent on the penult (the second to last syllable of a word) is appended : precédence, precédent, plethoric, plebeian, comment (noun and verb), colosseum.catechumen, Berlin, bedizen, Cadi, Barabbas.palaver, clandestine, aspirant, penates, Ariadne, anchovy, pianist, coadjutor, ancestral, placard, alternate (noun and adjective), allegro, cisalpine, alieu (two syllables), promulgate, albumen, aged, cognomen.albino, Aeneid;

How many of the world\u2019s noblemen and noble women have been teachers! \u2014AN EXPERIMENT IN SELF-GOVERNMENT IN ONE OF OUR ELEMENTARY ScHOOLS.\u2014One of our elementary teachers told her pupils that she would have no corporal punishment in the school and as little scolding as possible; that they had a monitor within to tell them when they were doing wrong and they must be obedient to its voice.A few days after, during a recitation, one boy threw a piece of plaster at another boy\u2019s head.This was the manner (told almost in her own words) in which she dealt with the case.\u201c1 stopped the lesson and asked him to stand up.I said: \u2018I do not want that ever to happen again.This is my house for the time being.I try to make 1t as attractive as pessible.It is the only home I have in this village.You know whether you have done right or wrong.Let us continue our work.\u201d A few minutes later another lump of plaster went whizzing across the room from the hand of the same boy.Isaid: \u2018Now, I am not perfect myself and like a second chance, so you may take your seat, and we will continue our work.\u201d A third time the plaster was thrown after the lapse of a few moments.This time I said: ¢ We have given you fair warning and a second chance, and as we have your best interest at heart and wish to help you make of yourself the boy you know God wants you to be, you may go home for the rest of the day and think this over.\u201d He went home and that was the last of the trouble.He turned out to be one of the best boys in the school.\u201d #8 = \u2014 LI AE = \u2014_ = A = ss ts ed Cy CS \u2014-\u2014 = 0a hat OFFICIAL DEPARTMENT.Official Department.DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION, QUEBEC, September 29th, 1899.On which day the regular quarterly meeting of the Protestant Committee of the Council of Public Instruction was held.Present :\u2014R.W.Heneker, Esq, LL.D., D.C.L., in the chair;

Sorel is dropped from amongst the model schools; and Westmount Academy gets no grant this year - not however by reason of inferiority, for it stands first.The reports submitted to your sub-committee by the Inspector of Superior Schools, and the distribution of grants by your sub-committee, were made strictly in accordance with the regulations and principles adopted in former years.Owing to reported irregularities in conducting the June examinations in Waterloo Academy, your sub-committee recommends the withholding of the grant from said academy pending the result of the investigation.The Secretary of the Department reported the amount available for distribution as follows : \u2014 Marriage License Fees.$6,658 T5 Interest on Marriage License Fund.1,400 00 Interest on Jesuits\u2019 Estate Fund.2,518 4 eves 9,333 32 $19,910 51 Permanent Charges.2,050 00 \u2014 Leaving a balance for distribution\u2026.$17,860 51 TE om 164 DISTRIBUTION LIST AS AMENDED.THE EDUCATIONAL RECORD.UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES.McGill University.Lin vee aan, $2,075 University of Bishop\u2019s College.1,125 $3,200 ACADEMIES.1899.Grant.Bonus.Eq.gr.Total Huntingdon .$ 200 $ 231 $ 50 $ 481 Sherbrooke.200 152 50 402 Lachute .200 148 50 398 Danville.200 121 25 346 Waterloo.200 116 40 356 St.Franecis.200 101 40 341 Knowlton.200 95 40 335 Ormstown .200 83 25 308 Cookshire .200 80 40 320 Dhawville.\u2026.\u2026.lL.200 81 25 306 Stanstead .20\u20ac 76 .276 Granby .L 200 81 40 321 Coaticook.oo.\u2026\u2026 200 7 50 327 Cowansville.200 67 40 307 Valleyfield.200 T2 40 312 Aylmer \u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.200 25 225 Inverness .\u2026.\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.200 25 225 Bedford .200 15 215 Sutton .cceeeveerveenen nnn.200 10 210 Three Rivers.200 15 215 St.Johns .ceeeiillll.200 25 225 Lennoxville .200 25 225 Totals .c.$4,400 $1,681 $695 $6,676 SPECIAL ACADEMIES.Compton Ladies\u2019 College cu sscsseess $200 Dunham Ladies\u2019 College .cccoe eevee veeveen.200 Girls\u2019 High School, Quebec.200 Li mt 4 C2 Ed CD =m Le =r \u2014.TA: A bat bf bet HE = = \u2014\u2014 Es ef pf CC MODEL SCHOOLS.OFFICIAL DEPARTMENT.1899.Grant.Bonus.Eq.gr.St.Lambert .eins 50 42 50 Buckingham .50 40 40 Berthier.cccoeillL 50 37 25 Hull.oa, .50 32 25 Sawyerville .50 34 25 Bury .ooocii viii ne 50 32 25 Compton.cccooovvennn nnn.50 31 40 Rawdon .ocoevvevvenen.5C 36 25 Moutreal West.Les ens 50 _\u2026 25 Dcotstown.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.50 32 15 Portage du Fort.50 25 Lachine .ooov oven.50 15 Stanbridge .50 \u2026 25 St.Sylvester.\u2026 80 31 25 Farnham.50 40 Frelighsburg eee 50 25 Lacolle .eevee Laure 50 25 Gould.50 25 Mansonville .\u2026 50 25 Clarenceville .50 25 Bast Angus.50 25 Hatley.coveevv inion, 50 25 Clarendon .50 15 Ulverton.eens 50 25 Megantic.uccces 50 \u2026 dt.Andrews.50 15 Hemmingford .50 25 St.Hyacinthe.50 25 Magog.cccuv nnn.\u2026 50 25 South Durham .50 25 Barnston \u2026\u2026.Lecsceecs vananu0 00 50 40 Leeds coc.sus 50 25 Levis.50 15 Marbleton.50 25 Fairmount .50 25 Mystic.\u2026.seussen-e 50 15 Como.os ane.50 \u2026\u2026 Kinnear\u2019s Mills .50 30 \u2026 Windsor Mills.50 .25 Bryson.c.coveneenn anne.50 \u2026 Waterville \u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.on.50 .40 Vecrss secsen cones $377 $965 165 Total.142 130 112 107 109 107 121 111 T5 97 T5 65 75 106 90 75 T5 T5 T5 75 75 T5 65 5 50 65 T5 T5 75 T5 90 T5 65 75 75 65 50 80 75 50 90 $3,392 166 THE EDUCATIONAL RECORD.SPECIAL MODEL SCHOOLS.PaspeblaC euvceei viii ieee ees eve, $100 New Richmond.viens coven iinineen, 100 Haldimand.cocoo coviiin viii cee een enn, 100 Chicoutimi .\u2026.\u2026\u2026.\u2026.errscrrernes Lacsceranuence \u2026.100 Arundel.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.iii en .\u2026\u2026\u2026 50 Fort Coulonge .\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.vecccsssese iin, 50 $500 SUMMARY OF GRANTS.Universities and Colleges.use $3,200 Academies, grants \u2026.ses enerrorse nanan.4,400 Bonus and Equip.(Academies) renee erases 2,276 Special Academies.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.crcccencse vanconsre 600 Model Schools, grants.Laruns sea ne see ene 0 -\u2026 2,050 Bonus and Equip.(Model Schools).1,342 Special Model Schools.ncecccuue 500 Reserved for Poor Municipalities.3,200 $17,568 Attention is called to the fact that no school neglecting to forward specimens of school work is entitled to the equipment grant;
