Therefore, re reading of good books is to be en- couraged. It is not diflicult to get pupils to read if we give them the right kind of reading. No two pupils will read the same kind of books.

Prose and poetry containing fine thoughts should be memorized. If a few we l-chosen books are pur. chased. they will lead the way to a larger library, and if the pupils and parents learn to enjoy reading and have read all the books in the library they naturally will want more, and whoever has acquired a taste for good books can never be induced to read poor ones, as the best drives out the menu There is never any room for impure books where the love of good- ness has gained a place. and without -vvv _vâ€"‘ a. sense of reverence for higher things no man can make the most of himself or attain the best in he Vocation. The object of this paper is not to speak. of the various methods of teach- ing reading but to emphasize a few points in connection with this most important subject. .1. The most important and most diflicult factor in the problem of teaching reading is the development of a desire to wed. In the case of a child reared in theliterary atmosphere whose mind has been soaked in good literature.-â€"the nursery rhyme, the fairy tale. the mythâ€"this factor van? ishes. Such a child has a strongly and naturally developed desire to read. He is eager to unlock the :uvsteries of books because they contain that which his previous experience has taught him to love. But unfortunately in too many cases, the child has not in his home been surrounded by this at- mosphere. so favorable to natural growth, and the teacher must. in- stead of introducing the child to the oitficulties of formal lessons in reading go haclcto his stand point and as far --I- “CL:AL‘ .‘Ln But what is involved in this necess- ary preparation ? The subject matter of tne lesmns must he something in which he is keenlv interested. With- out this no real progress can be made. Retnem her, this must be a genuine in- terest in that which the words symbol- ize rather than in the words themselves. If thetext hook in reading provide this interesting material, well and good; if not we must seek it elsewhere. A hu- man soul is of more account than a text book. Then the. pupil must be perfectly familiar with the written words and phrases in the sentence. The ettempt to combine the difficul- ties of word recognition With the in- terpretation of thought IS one of the commonest errors in teaching reading. The learning of words and phrases and the getting and giving of thoughts belong to two different. stages. and should during the habit forming stage he kept separate and distinct. Every tpacher of little childxen should not only he a. good reader but a. guod story Lellcr. Everything told is so mur‘h stronger than if read. Children can he drawnlike a magnet. 3W the story-teller’s art. To one a. quoiamoo from a. book. "How to Lell nories no children”: wuh few exceo lions children listen twice. as eagerly ton story told as to one read, and even a ‘recmnion’ or a. so called 'read- ing’ has not the charm for them that the person wields who can ‘tell astory’ ‘ And there are sound reasons for this preference. The great difierence is that, the teller of stories is flee. the reader is bound. The book in hand on the wording of it. in mind bindsthe render. the story teller is bound by nothing: he stands or ens. free to Watch his audience, free to tollow or lead eyerv changing mood, free to use body. eyes and voice, as aids in exâ€" Dreseinn. Even his mind is unbound. gheing so full of what he has Lot-my. 'For this reason a. story told is more spontaneous than one read, however well re ad, consequently the connection with the audience is closer. more elec- tric. man is possible when the book or the wording intervenes. Beyond this advantage is the added charm of the personal element in story telling When you make a story your own and tell it, the listener gets the Story plus Vour appreciation of it. It come.- to him filtered through your own enjoyment. That is what makes the funny story thrice funnier on the lips of a jolly story teller than in the pages of 'Llfe.’ It is the filter or per- son-.lity. The longing for the person. a! in experience is a very human long-y ing and this instinct or longing ‘ is especially strong in children, It finds exuressiuu in their delight in tales of wha: father or mother did when they Were liz :le. of what happened to grand- mmhpr when she Went on a journey. and so nu but It excends also to stories which me not in themselves personal; which takes their personal savor mere- ly from the fact that they flow from the lips in spontaneous homely phrases with an appreciative gusto which sug- gests participation. (By Mus M. Coppinger, Hanover.) Continued from page 2 PRIMARY READING. Much reading is a necessity. Nothing is more deadening to a pu 11 than repeating what he has already commit to memory. It is practice in a wide field that is desirable. Provide variety of reading, matter simple enough for the child to read With ease and let practice make perfect. [Give plenty of sight reading from the blackboard] Pupils‘ reading must of necessity be slow at first. but there is a difference between slow read- ing and mere word naming. An attempt should be made to train the eye to grasp as large wholes as possible. Have pupils read. read, read and power and skill will be the result. ' them. It is incomparably easier to make the necessary exertion 0 when!” or whatever It may be called when not else distracts the attention. One’s eyes meet the children’s gaze naturally and constantly; one’s expression re- sponds to and initiates their: wtihout eflort: the connection is immediate. For the ease of the teacher then, no less than for the joy of the children may the art of story telling be urged as The pa 11 must from the nin get into the habit of orming pictures as e 8.

As to the subject matter of the reading lessons : Children’s literature should be largely imagina- tive. because chtldhood is the period of life When the imagination is most easilydevelomzl. " The imaginatiovl is of all the faculties the most diffi- cult to control, it is the most elusive of all, the most far-reaching in its relations, the rarest in its full power But on its healthy «leveIOpment depend not only the sound exerciSe of the facul- ties of observation and judgment, but also the command of the reason. the control of the will and the quickening and growth of the moral sym- pathies. The means for its culture which good reading afiords. is the most generally available, and one of the most efficient. “ M ths and fairy tales bear the same relation to rea ity as color and perfection of form bear to the first germ in the heart of a flower, and. fur- thermore, if roperly chosen. they exercise and cultivate the magmation. The beginnings of a child’s heritage 0 books of pure deli ht which the ages have bequeathed to him, t ey are a most rofound auxiliary in the development of the m nd and the will; they stimulate the ideal- izing tendency and, as Felix Adler says: " faith itself cannot abide unless supported by a vivid realism.” Fables, too, give illustrations of evil, the eflect of which is to arouse disapprobation and present types of value to produce the con- trary effect.” ThenL children’s literature should be interest- ing. The real secret of a. child’s bqok consists not merely in its being less dry and dlflicult, but more rich in interest. We all know what little v- â€"7-7 more rich in interest. We all know what little value there is to us grown-up children when we attempt to read something which does not inter- est us. How much more will this apply to little children ! Children‘s literature should be the best. It should be nothing but what inculcates noble, healthy and vigorous sentiment. which culti- vates the taste and charms and uplifts the imagi- nation, which tends to introduce in character things which are “ true, honest, just, pure, lovely and of good report." cMatthew Arnold says that good literature con- sists of the “ best things said in the best way,’ There are plenty of books containing such which children can understand, appreciate and assimi- late. but the field of bad literature isjust as broad. It is the duty of the teacher to give the pupil power to choose between the good and the bad. To this end good reading must be made more at- tractive than bad and the growing intelligence of the child must be fed with nothing but that. "the virtue of which has been proved by long consent," It might be well to add a few suggestions for Busy work in connection with reading; 1. Copying and pronouncing words from a black board. 2. Making words from tickets which are dis- tributed to each pupil. 3. After learning a new elemcnt. see how many words they can find containing it on a given page. L_,AA!_.. LL- C‘ 4. Picturing the thought or illustrating the new lesson before having it for reading. 5. Reading from Supplementary Readersâ€"This is the best of all.

Special to The Star. Petrolea, Ont. 17 â€"A terrifi -. explo- sion startled the inhabitants of Pe- trolea and the surrounding towns at four o’clock this morning, when the magazine of the Petrolea Torpedo Company exploded with terrible force. The magazine is situated on the 12th line, about two miles north of the town, and contained about four hundred quarts of nitro glyce- rine at the time. The cause of the eXplosion is a mystery. as the pro- prietors say they have nOt been man- ufacturing since laSt May. There was no one around the works since early yesterdav morning. and when the employee left rhe place every- thing was in good order One reason given for rhe explosion is that there was tor» much heat in the building. causing the nitre glyc- erine to melt, and the friction that ensued caused the deadly fluid to ex- plode. The company’s famory was situated about one hundred yards west of the magazine, and wasa com. plete wreck. It was built of wood and is now nothing but a heap of matchwood. Residences situated on the 12th line within a radius ofa mile of the magazine were all more or less damaged, doors being tom 03 and windows being broken and blown in. NITRO-GLYCERINE FACTORY BLOWS UP AT PETROLEA. Messrs. Glass and McIntyre and Braybrcok were. the heaviest losers, the residence of the former being a1- mosc completely ruined Braybrook’s bet-n was blown off its foundation, and its pumping rig walls were badly damaged. His loss will, total about one thousand dollars. ’l‘h» magazine was a one ssorey buildung, built of brick on a concrete founn‘ation. and was about. thirty by (We. ty feet. in size. Where it stood is m thing but. a hole in the ground, big enough to swallow itâ€"perhaps sixty feet. by twentyâ€"and not enough of the building can be found to tell what. it was. 1n Petrolea considerable damage was incurred by the breaking of glass. Eight large plate glass windows that faced the north on Main Street were completely destroyed. Dozens of residences also lost win- dow lights. The explosion was also felt in Wyoming, a town five miles north of the scene of the accident, where. it is reported, the damage is even greater than in Petrolea. For- tunately the accident happened at a time when no person was around or the loss of life would doubtless have been considerable. '1‘ his vicinity has been the scene of several severe explosions of nitro- glycerine in years past. but the pres- ent eXplosion is the first one where no loss of life was incurred. Some time ago complaint was made to the council of the township of Enniskillen that this magazine was situated too near the residences along the 12th line. This fact will bring up a seri- ous phase of the damage question and residents whose property has been destroyvd will doubtless try to hold the council responsible for their loss. The company’s intention could not be learned this morning, but they will doubtless rebuild the plant, as the business is a very profitable one. notwithstanding its dangerous na- ture. The only serious injury that was sustained was by a lad named Glass, who was lying in his bed at the time and sustained some severe cuts about the head by flying glass.
