Sarleeqtts Examination, by the Dtree tr-Kxaiatti!BK an EutmlMMilt of Boemermav-TMchluc Backwards ., I kave spoken of the belter entertained by the average bread brim that children cannot possibly be taught an rt hi tig with with eat the dally exercise of corporal punish went, Great fault was found with me for banishing from the school-room this relic of barbarism. That I maintained letter order than my predecessors ; that all my Scholars-even Beb Mucklshenny Instead of crawling reluctantly te school, as If te a prison, came g ladly, and of course learned ui month-these facta were net denied. Bat when has stupid "ingrained prejudice rer yielded te reason, te demonstration, te anything save necessity? This objec tion had net yet been openly urged, "but Mr. Ha e, in whose pleasant home I was a frequent visitor, told me of this and many another objection te me and my conduct. He would somettmes laugh till the tears rolled down his cheeks as hetranalaittl dm very words of my critics. I would laugh tee, but nevertheless these things troubled me. I had, of course, learned long since tlmt Is, about five woolen since that there is no place oil earth like a country village for noble, generous, high-minded gossip. Everybody In the community attended net only te his own private affairs, but With emal ir net superior real te the pri vate attaint of everybody else. I had been teaching about six weeks, however, before the opposition te me ana te my methods, which had been smoulder smeulder ing in secret, burst forth epenly, aggres sively, and from some quarters even viciously. The first intimation I had of the trouble was a hurriedly written nete from my Quaker friend informing me that I should be s jnunened before the beard of directors en the ensuing Saturday te auswer charges which had been preferred against me byn number of the patrons of the Hchoel. "These relate," wrote Mr. Hale, "chiefly te your alleged absurd methods of teaching the younger children and te the fact that you don't whip them. I shall be there, for 1 anticipate a funny scene. I rely upon your wit te defeat the directors. Don't be a bit afraid. Thov can't de anything without a unanimous vote, und, ns I have Baid, I shall be there." en Me whole. I was glad of it. Secret objection-. I could net answer; open criti cism I could meet openly. On the follow ing Saturday, therefore, I went gladly te the house where I first met the beard. Here I found eswmbled net only the directors but (mite a number of the natrens hIsh. 801110 et them wcre my ft lends, who were Indignant that 1 should be treated in this manner. Most of them, hew ever, were either openly or secretly opposed te me, or rather te my "now-faugled ldei s ' The ball was opened by the old presi dent, who stated in broken English the subject of the meeting. "Dere has been gemblalnt agalnsd der deacher dot alie don't vhlp der chlldrens te make dem learn, nthlll ; und dot she deach baekvards, of 11 rile dot she deach dese chlldrens te rend pefere she deach dem te shell, sthlll. AVusshagst du, Yacub? (What say yen, Jacob?) " Yaw, das os se" (Yes, that Is true), re plied the go tleirun thus appcaled te, gravely nodding his head. "W'asssagstdti, Frantz?" "Das es se. das es se," assented Frantz. She deach all der klelmi (little) chlldrens te read befere she deach dem te spoil s und have net hip mine pey vunst net vunst in six veek." "All this Is perfectly true," 1 said. "I de net whip them, mid I teach them te read sluiple sentences of short words first, and afterwards teach them te spell the words. In this way, e en the smallest children are at ence interested In their lessens, and they learn both te read and te spell much mere rapidly than by the old method. Te teach mem te spell Urst tx te teach Uackuard. Mr. Hale translated this Inte the native dialect ter the benefit of these present who could net understand English. The beard stared at 1110 in blank amazement. This epen confession of stupidity astounded them. " AVhy it's ag'in' natur1 1" exclaimed 0110 member. This tilan was a chronic fuult fuult flnder. He made trouble for every teacher the beard had e er employed, w ith evcry minister his church had evor called, and always had a quarrel en hand in ccry ledge that admitted him te membership. He had been bitterly opposed te 1110 from the outlet. "Itsilyli In the face o'na e'na tuiJl " he cried Indignantly. " Is she grazy (crazy), or what? Hew can they read, lessen they knows hew te bpell ? They can't de It. " "On, yes, they can. Mr. negener," I 1, yes " Eve said. " Kvorybedy can, and most peeple de It cvery day. I have a nowspaper here win you picase ue Kind oneugn te read this little paragraph ?" He took the paper and read with com parative oahe, but with the native accent and In a btunid, drawling tone, as fellows : "The -hospital was crowded, the soldiers belng packed together like sardines in a box. Seme were Buffering from wounds, and the pale, pinched faces of these- w hes3 limbs had been amputated wcre pitiful te beheld. There w ero cases also of various diseases: Pneumonia, neuralgia, chronic rheumatism and various malaiiiil allec allec tlens." "New Mr. Hegencr," I said, " you have read.thls aragruph w Itheut any trouble, and if what you say is true, you can, of course, spell every word in it. Let us be gin with some of the easiest ones. Spoil pitiful." Mr. Hegcner turned very red in the face and then very pale. He looked exceed ingly awkward and foolish, but thcre was no way out of It for him. I gave pencil and paper te u young man who was pres enta clerk In ene of the stores of the vil lageand requested him te wrlte down the words Just as Mr. Hegcner spelled them. He began " T-l-t-y, pity, f-u-deuble 1, full, i.ityfull." "Very well, Mr. Hegcucr," 1 said; " spell wWiite." Fortunately the clerk did net smile, Mr. Hale's face was as oxpresslenlcss as an oyster's and all the ethers looked en as sol emnly as ew Is. The gentleman thinking, therefore, that he had spelled the word cor rectly, jwssesscd a little mere confidence Then followed "selicrs" for soldiers, " creuded" for crowded, "deseses" for dis eases, "hiifierin" for buttering, and " crenlck" for chronic. I giue tliese same weids te soine et the ether members, who also proved their originally in this brunch of learning. The fact that I gave them te the ethers, hewexer, was proof conclusive te the mind of Mr. Hegcner that I had failed te entrap hlin tiiat he, at least, had corae out Buccesttnlly from the test. He was in a very triumphant mood indeed. " I tele you," he Mid, glancing proudly about him, " that you can't lead lesven veu knew hew te spell llrst. Yeu ctui'f du it." I said nothing; but rising, went te the window, and culled In seme of the little children Who wcre playing in the yaid. I had managed te get them thcre by efiering te go te the woeus; ith them for ferns and flowers, after the meeting of the beard. The childi en caine in, thronging happily around me the youngest about llve years of age, the eldest about seven. 1 had printed the following sentences, each dif ferently arranged, upon soparate blips or paper five In ull thus: "The crowded room, full et soldiers, sun'ering from chronic disease, was pitiful"; and thus: " It was pitiful the chronic disease? e! he soldiers, who were sutlering In the crowded room," and we en. " New, gentlemen," I said, as I handed each child one of tliese printed slips, "theve little ones never went te school before they came te me. lam their llrst teacher, und have taught but six weeks. New , you say that you wo-e all taught te spell bctore you were taught te lead, yet net 0110 word which I have given jeu liait you sielld correctly net one word. Let us sce if my method is net a H'tter ene than yours. Willie Heg'.'ner," I continued, addressing tht six-year-old son or the tault-tiiidiug director, "hae you eer sren this slip of paper before? Hax e any of you ever seen these slips before?" 'Ne, ma'am," they answ ered. " New, AA'lllle, please read yeuis." The little fellow read it, and remarkably well. tee. . "And here Is Katle let us see If she can read her's." Alter Willie, Katie, nud the ethers had read their slips anil handed them back te me, Tasked them, ene after the ether, te spell the words upon which the s jplent directors had se ignoinlnlensly stumbled. They were all spelled correctly. " New, gentlemen," I said. I ga e you only the easlest wordsintlie pamgranh which Mr. Ueguer read, lint thesechil Uren can spell the wert dllHcult a? well ; demonstrated thla feet, mob te the astea tsaauBt of all praam. accept Mr. Male, whetladM, wavsrthslsas, te ba (fee most astonished of all. " Yeu can go out and play new, Mil I come." I aaid. " Pisese, MIm Ellen, dea't be lout," M little Katie. " Come new," aaid Willie, pUlta si my dre. 11 la a moment." I aaid 1 " ril come In a moments run alone new," And thsy trooped merrily eat of the room. " I Jee believe you learned them chil dren te epell them word a-purpeee 1' ex claimed Mr. Hegener, unable te repress his rage and mortification. " I am sure that no one here will accuse .voiief having tenght them "and my re tort was greeted with general laugh. " 1011 certainly ought te be the last man te find fault with me for teaching them te spell you, the very man who comes here complaining that thla is what I de net taach them. '' . Turning from Mr. Hegener, who seemed tee angry te apeak, I addressed ttie presi dent of the beard : " Yeu send your child ren te school te learn the common branches of an English education, de you net read ing, writing, arithmetic, and the simpler f os of science?" Mr. Hale translated for inc. "Yaw, das ei se," he assented. "Das es se," gravely repeated several ethers. "I almost fancied," I continued, "from some of the criticisms I have heard, that many of them were sent for the sole purpose of being beaten into stupidity and a natural hatred of schools, teachers, books, and knowledge." Mr. Hale again translated. "Don't you see that if these little ones feared me, I could net have taught them mere In six weeks than their father has learned In forty years? Please translate exactly what I say, Mr. Hale." 'I certainly shall," said tbst gentleman, and I am sure that he did. " That teacher," I continued, " who Is the most stupid, wooden-headed, leaden-heart ed, and iron-handed " (Mr. Hale translat ing each adjective as I uttered It) "will use the red the most. A geed teacher will net use It at all. A farmer, who knows hew te manage a hone does net beat or abuse the animal: the blockhead who knows nothing about horses always uses whip and spur, and will spoil the best horse In the world." The illustration proved te be a fortunate ene for It came home te each man's dally oxperlcnce, and I heard murmurs efatssnt all e or the room. " Yaw, yaw ; das es se das es se." "A'ell," said the old president, looking about hi 111, " of dot vhlpplng guestlens we vlll say neddlngs el a vlle. Und dot rea-J-Inir undsbelllnir friiestiens. I dink wn hiul as better net bress dot. But dey dell me dot you vaste der time in school mltdelllng stberics mlt der chlldrens shtill. Hew lsh dot ?" "I tell them stories every day," I'sald. "The children repeat them te me; and these who can write, write them for me. Ner Is the lime wasted which is thus em ployed. Te preve this, I will tell you a story which I told them yesterday; In Australia the savages, or native wild men, kill game and ulse their enemies, with a curved club, whlch'they threw with great skill and force. This strange weapon Is se fashioned and hurled that, If It fall te hit the mark aimed at, it will return and fall at the feet of Its owner. But If net skill fully thiewn, it will often. In its return, knock down and even kill the person throwing It. This weapen Is called a boom beom boem emnff, and, Judging from the manner in which you threw it, gentlemen, I suppose Its introduction among you has been quite recent. Is this all?" " Yaw, dns cs all. But vy you dell der chlldrens such stories llke dot?" "Heavens!" was my mental ejaculation, "hew inconceivably btupldl" " Because," I unswerca aloud "bocause such stories teach them many a useful lessen. Yeu all, of course, knew that the greatest et all teachers, Jesus himself, taught even grown peeple In this manner. All little children leve te hear stories, and the lessens they Jcarn through tlicra they seldom If ever forget. Fer example, they learn, among ether things, from the story I have Just told that when they become men and women, and are elected te the school beard, tucy mustnrsiicarn totnrew their boomerang before aiming it at the district teacher. Otherwise they may threw it as clumsily as Messrs. Jacob, Frantz and Hegener have done, and be knocked down by Its return. This lessen will teach them te avoid making tbomelves, in this way, the laughingstock of all sensible people." My triumph was com plots. But Mr. Hegener was right about ene thing. Ne ene except a school teacher can appreciate the amount of patient perseverance re quired te touch an infant class te sjicll such words as chieuic, rheumatism and pneu monia. Novcrtucless,I felt amply rewarded for my extra labor. But what puzzled overybody except my Quukcr friend was the fact that the presi dent had summoned me only the evening beiore te appear at this special meeting of the beard. Ilow. then, thought they,ceuld she have taught tlicni te spell these words? " Is it that she's a witch, or what?" asked ene mystified member. Of ceurse, Mr. riale gave them no clue, nor did any ene suspect him. for he had net himself been elllcially notified until that very morning. It was altogether by accident that he bad learned a week before that such a meeting was te behvld. He at ence wrete te me, but we kept our own couusel and nobody w as the wiser. I am well aware that most people, who have nevcr had any personal dealings with men such as I am describing, will consider my langunge te the beard exceedingly harsh, dlsresectful, and perhaps even un ltdylikc. But I might as well have ex ex pectcd the members et tbnt body (Mr. Hale always oxceptod) te appreciate Tennyson's " Morte d'Arthur" as te have expected thorn te understand polite and refined euphemisms. Indeed, It required much serious cogitation for many of them te comprehend even the baldest knock-down speech I could make. I am sure that te this day seme of them de net understand w hat 011 earth I meant te convey by the boomerang story. (Te be continued.) GOLDKN-HOD. Fer the iMi.LLiGKNcnii.
