abe complained to apollo who sent mercury to enquire of toe ane forest trees who having been asleep knew noth lug of it mercury scolded them for being sleepy and bade them hold up their hands when the put of gold fell from the houghs boughs of the surprised poplar after the tree I 1 will hold up my head and let the sunshine see ee all that may be concealed within my heart heart children love to weave their own myths of the beauties of heaven and earth with their own surroundings this development of the beautiful is one of the strongest holds you can have du on the soul of a child leading it from all that is ugly and wicked to love the pure good and delightful with a myth of at the land you can teach all your botany and mineralogy lessons lesson when it ig i of the sea use the knowledge you have of flab for a solid bise for your instructions instruction every day season and time has its appropriate story take out all the blood and thunder giving all th t is good and beautiful miss

exercise should be to children in this way as aa time and temper are saved by doing it in winter we give warming exercise but this ibis Is IB for rest she then took up the subject of geobra dby sayi g that the child must study frow from nature and make his bis own definitions and not alone learn from hooks books that islands are bodies of land surrounded by water with no adequate ada adu quate picture of an island io in hie big mind be does not know much from having memorized that definition A mountain only becomes a living reality when the child knows the forces that called it into existence how it compares with others of its kind its influences on the surrounding country cou etc the problems of nature are all wrought out in miniature and if we knowledge of children is respected and applied it is the most valuable of all their educational advantage put a little poetry soul into the hard dry acts you wish to impress yur indian adian myton will add beawin beau i dl al dresses to yur y ur local geography send for the copies of the geological Go survey from the ath to the lah they will vve ive you a great deal of information and co cost at you but your letter and an extra stamp miss B armours arbours Br bours advice ad vice to teachers was to first instruct from nature environ meets after that the pupil will oe dependent upon books maps charts words which are symbols when cau you properly present these symbols to children when they first have a correct idea ol of the reality in minds how many of you have studied geography in ID such a way that the map of any given country is an outline laiu laid down in certain colors who is to blame for this not those who taught us they did their best but we will be to blame blaine if we perpetuate this mistake the great question in presenting symbols to is to make the pupil see through the flat lines of a map the real river rolling down its bed withof accurate id ida of its volume depth power length etc the be forests the mountains with their caps of snow and message of aid to mankind otherwise your symbols are useless after ten minutes intermission dr baldwin continued bis big psychological lecture he
