taste for the beautiful in children belongs to Use higher wort of the teacher part of our work in which we to the needs of the spirit and in which we approach and in fluence and sentiments the roost sacred and mysterious part of the child The more we consider its effect on the mind and life the pupils as reflected in their behaviour the mote imperative becomes the duty not even secondary to supplying their intellectual needs of cultivating and fostering so far as lies in our power a taste and love for all that is and refining Many children come from homes where there is very little attempt at the artistic few pictures few if any beautiful books and even where the home environment is all that may be desired we cannot estimate the in fluence for good of spending six hours apart pleasing surroundings tin the company of objects tastefully arrang ed of some attractive books with a privilege of handling them and of pictures which if not expensive works of art are such as appeal to the child and gratify his love of color There arc so many reasons why things should be otherwise reasons affecting ourselves as well as the one wonders that there is a bare Surely we have enough interest in those under our charge to try to make their lives brighter and happier to en deavor to their daily work and regarding it from a selfish standpoint we may be sure that what we add to a store of- happiness will make us a return- For when the school room and all its belongings command the admiration of the pupil the result a heightened selfrespect and the pupil will seldom come before us as a case for disci pline Since it is to the schoolroom we must turn to a great extent for the cultivating and strengthening of this sense of the beautiful its appearance be the teachers first care Some rooms are old and badly out of repair but are any so bad as to be past improving Perfect order in the disposal of all schoolroom apparatus Is the first re quisite Neatness and order should characterize every detail of our ar And careful dis posal of all whoolrootn material is in itself a but every effective- lesson in good taste Next in importance is the coloring of the walls Cold white walla are never desirable and where these ex ist the teacher should- shrink from the agitating a change soft grey that will the and furnish a suitable ground additional When these have been attended to the use of the wastepaper basket taught and a screened corner for wa ter pail and lunch baskets provided question of decorations presents it- The teacher should secure the cooperation of the pupils in their understanding that the school is theirs and not the teachers Every Utile put forth to render the schoolroom more attractive will do something toward cultivating a love for the beautiful and a desire for re fined and tasteful surroundings Objects will be brought in but the teacher must decide as to their suit ableness pictures appropriate for wall decora tion should be carefully chosen they should be such as will exert an uplift ing as well as an educative Influence the teacher remefrtbering that what is placed there Is to become part of the child to influence in some manner and life A beautiful picture though in the form of a cheap print when hung Maps too should be used for decor ating and we all adroit their educative value A flag a banner collection of leaves and specimens of pupils work in writing and drawing form tonar furnishings while the of flowers in pupils gives a sense of refinement beauty In blackboard as well as in wall decoration we should observe the prin ciple of variety a pretty spray here and there a piece of colored bordering or a little- sketchy containing the thought of each season or tide as it comes is very effective- Bare or untidy blackboards are never excusable Even where space is limit ed some Utile comer might re served to embody a bright thought something apart from work Nor should we forget the teachers desk With very little trouble on our part it becomes in the eyes of pu pils a thing of beauty and a joy forever A colored blottingpad a neat rack or tray for pens a bright wounded prisoners surrendered African A despatch from Pretoria says A force of Boers cut out cattle close Some of the menof the South African Constabulary and a few men of the town guard in all started in pursuit but going too tar were surrounded by the

it arrived the party had extricated itself with the loss of two men killed and one officer wounded AU but rounds of ammunition had been ex pended Altogether the affair was a most creditable

toaJ lot Infanta wid Children picture book or copy of poems and a bunch of flowers will make it a centre of interest for the pupils Bub pictures and decorations do not comprise all of the beautiful the schoolroom may take in Think of the opportunity the teacher has for cultivating and developing this innate taste during the first few min utes in the morning- Could these be more profitably spent than in the con sideration of some- gem of poetry or in the discussion of a line which be speaks a life or high pur pose Language and object lessons lend themselves readily to this also stories where the good is not exactly empha sized but presented to the mind and imagination to sink in and do Us work Music and drawing are potent also suitable literature in the form of prose or of poetry which has been termed breath of beauty And here we might be reminded of the opportunity our Friday afford for the cultivation of a taste for the beautiful When the exercises in way of readings recitations and stories have been carefully planned they may become a veritable aesthetic treat to both teacher and pupils- It is a real delight to see a pupil whether large or small come forward willingly and decorously to entertain the others with a suitable recitation or song and it must have a refining effect on pupils of less sociable or of boorish disposition My Friday afternoons are distinct from other afternoons in the display of fresh pinafores and of Sunday neckties and a feeling of expectancy The very at mosphere of room seems- different And I believe that inwardly is a freshening up or a desire for it to correspond with the exterior Pupils are in a susceptible mood Other teachers may have noticed something similar to this in their own schools and have surely taken advantage of it prevalence of system everywhere develops the pupils sense of harmony He will soon desire to be in accord with his surroundings and the mani festation of this will be a greater and arid at striv ing for the best in the effort to do better work Nor should the teacher be out of harmony with the surroundings The children be made to feel the charm of appropriate language clear sympathetic tones graceful and delib erate movements as well as of the tasteful arrangement of ones dress Children are imitative and willing to see with our eyes and the things we deem beautiful and worthy our atten tion and care will be deemed so by them at first unconsciously but more and more they develop until the taste and desire for beauty both in surroundings and in their own lives becomes a natural one And It is worth while remembering that our efforts in the interest of the good true and beautiful though ex erted disinterestedly for our pupils are not lost on ourselves Our profession is of an elevating character so far as we are personally Via inutile where all can see it grows hallowed in the eyes of the pupils and tiie room by its presence Thisispar- concerned We cannot tlcuiarly the case ifit has been dis cussed and the deeper truths of the picture brought out We should not pass these over on the supposition that pupils are too are never too young to discern beauty Care should be taken in the placing of pictures to avoid too rigid uniform ity or stiffness remembering that there is always freshness in variety Tasteful frames can be made of pressed leaves and of tinted paper folded Into squares or triangles and there is an added charm about- the frames in the feeling of ownership the pupils have through their in the making L lift to a high moral plane unless our Ideal of a noble and beautiful life points them still higher we cannot inspire a love for beautiful without being im bued with its spirit And It inay be safely said that the teacher who has given full measure of consid eration to the things which make fur character has obtained the highest re sults even though these be invisible British troops are being with drawn from China leaving im mediately The

waists are very simple and the skirts elaborate yond words Nearly all the summer waists are shaped slightly at the left and are covered with tucks- insertions plaitings ruffles stitched bands and many flounces As for the new skirts they are trimmed with strapped bands ally is there any place where a strap might with any sort bl sense o propriety be made to go that It is not put these days The bands are put on the skirt at regular intervals and extend the waist to the knee Here at the end every pointed strap fall plaits so that the effect is that of a deep shaped ruffle plaited at intervals This is a charm ing model for any sort summer dress Separate lace waists were never more popular than they are this sea son The newest seem to be entirely of guipure with the whole pattern overlaid- with

Big Doss Caused by It is estimated that a tenth the agricultural output or this country is ruined annually by insects hence the necessity of keen careful observation oh the part of the farmer As a

foresee in most cases damage to his crops by injurious pests and arm himself with the weapons of defense In some instances- disastrous insect invasions could be largely averted facts were generally
