The teachir'sMastety of the subject enable him to vary the treatment,' to combine the topics in a dif ferent order, to substitute the inductive method for the I l dedtictive, giving facts in order to teach principles, instead - Of pro. senting the principles first and illustrat ing them by facts; and, in various irayF to adapt the instruction to the peculiar condition or natural characteristics of the pupil's mind. What" skill may: be -die- MO played in such work ! 'What an enlarge mi•nt,-day by day, of the teacher's own Towers must 'be the inevitable result of such practice' • • .. • To tile pupil the advantages, of oral teaching are still greater; : Language is subordinate to thought, instead of thought to language. Ideas are develop .A in connection with the words which are to be used to express them, and an )te rest awakened which stimulates the mind to an ever-increasing activity. In• eri•ry department of natninl Science this is a consideration of the greatest import ance. Suppose it is intended' to teach botany. Instead,of giving to' the pupils an elaborate and scientifically' arranged text book, and requiting them to commit to memory definitions of terms the true imaning of which no mere language Can c . (mvey, 'the teacher presents a handful of leaves, a few simple blossoms, or • other objects of.the kind, and by p little skillful questioning, leads the mind of the child "to olb-erve the peculiarities of structure of Icsif.' tower. stem, etc., and thus awakens entiosity. In this way Words are associat ed with the ideas obtained from an exam ination of thi objects, and their meaning,. thus fixed by an impressive association, , •eareely ever fade from the memory. The following admirable remarks of I LEI . , in rel4ard if, instruction in natu' ral are: here very pertinent : 4 1 If it:mit - lc training is to yield its most eiril iwnt result,, it must be matte- practical. That is to say, l in explaining to a child tla general phenomena of nature,. you inii , t. fai ,possible, give reality to ymir teachings by object lessons. In teachin , r him botany. lie must handle the 'hints and Ilissect the flowers for himself; iii teirhing him physiCs and chemistry, you must not be:solicitf , MS tA) fill liim*ith in f. prn4l ion, but you.must be careful that what .11e. lerns lie knows of his own k" 10Wiedg;!. D071 . t be 'satisfied with tell ing Itim that a magnet attrects iron-4et him see that it does; let him feel the pull of the one upon the Other for himself. Pursue this 'discipline Carefully and con scientiously, and you I nmke • sure that, however scanty' may he the measure of information which . you have Poured into the boy's mind, you have created an in tellectual habit of priceless value in prac tical life. - . • This admirable series of remarks pre scuts. without doubt, the proper guide and 'standard fur oral scientific instritc lion in elementary schools. Thc tenden cy. on the part of many teachers, is to narroW the field of instruction;lo adopt a mechanical, routine Method; to pour into the_ptipirs mind facts, instead Of develop ing " intellecttud cultiVating the powers of . observation and reflection, and thus rendCring the pupil really intelligent ( This department of teaching should; to sonic extent, be desultory; it certainly should not be rigidly scientific.• The pu pils should.be encouraged to . take notice . 01 1 , the . objects and phenomena constantly presented to their VIM', and to inquire into the nature mid causes of these, so :as to collect an exix•rience of their own,.be ff;re their minds are very much occupied di,( , ,44, - !ry with the tcientilically collected experience of matarer minds! Too often the sciences are - divested - of all interest for young minds by being made too recondite, On sist ing of facts and conclusions altogether remote front a crild's observation and ex perience. .and with which, therefore; it can take no •interest—which, indeed; it cannot - be made fully to comprehend. The ohciong ;frl,ahteferiBtics of- objects should ,be taught. 1-ather than clam:4N . - firse; ;and greatcaution should be exercised in teaching the difficult technic: al terms which constitute the nomencla ture of the science. Some teachers bdgin ley teaching these terms; and the children are required to commit to memory forinu- lated definition of such Words as nia)o,ia_ roaeptift cryprogame7, - . 2ol,frnopop(org, etc.. etc. All this is', of Course, in difect conflict with .the guiding principle above enunciated. • Neither should oral instruction be trier mitted to degenerate into iccturili3. This would be - entirely foreign to its main iit.- pose,' which i, to stimulate • the ;Mind to 'self-activity, not :imply to give informa tion. Mere lectures treat the pupilf, as pasive recijilents, and, therefore, cannot be Of imieh useiii - elementary instruction. oral instruction. implies that the-teach.' er re,orth to every - available means—di met statement and illustration, interroga tion, drill, dictation, etc.,—in order prop erly to impress the pupil's mind, and de: velop those activities which arc of the - greatest value in practical life, whatever its special sphere may be. - 11 , EX 1,, ESi'I ic E !
