THE HURON
XPOSITOR—SUPPL
Some Lessons,
We observe that a good. deal of atten-
tion is drawn in the press to the sub-
ject of -home work for pupils attending
our public schools. Some writers con-
demn the whole .histrong lan-
gus.ge, averring thst sehool alone is tbe
place for study, thst tho teacher's husi:
ness i to instruct tho pupil, to break
down his difficulties and generally ac-
complish the work set before them
within school time. They complain
that by assigning home work, the teach-
er really turns over a great deal of his
own work to parents or brothers or sis-
ters of the pupil at home, who are often
unable and generally too busy to attend
to such matters. They say, too, that
the pupils ought to devote the hours
outside the school room to physical ex-
ercise, which they aro sure to do, either
by work or play, if not burdened with •
study.
There is enough truth in all this to
deserve the careful attention of teachers'
and parents. But the teacher's position.;
in the matter is one of much difficulty.
Parents oan hardly appreciate the diffi-
culties the teacher has to face in the'
matter. Many people are ready to com-
plain in very aggravating terms of the
laziness and carelessness of the. teacher
whose pupils are observed to have little'
to do at home. They lanagine, and.
sometimes with justice, that 110 home
work is a sign of want of push and vigor
at school. They recall to mind the
days of yore and the long "sums" they
had to do by the light of a pine -knot
fire, in their own school days, and they
contrast the energy of the old-time
pedagogue with the Laodicean ease of
the young man who governs the village
school to -day.
The true path seems to us to lie, as
usual, between the extremes. In the
case of young children no home work at
all ought to be strictly the rule. The
business of a young child is physical
growth. His mentallabor should be
small and intermittent. To breathe, to
eat, to exercise his muscles in all man-
ner of contortions, to train the organs,
of sense, these are the purposes of life
up to ten years of age. All else must
be subsidiary to these. Indeed, below
this age half time or three hours a day
for school work proper is much to be
preferred. But when the age of twelve
is reached, not only is the child. able to
attend to school work, broken as it i$
by frequent changes of position and of
subject, during the five hours or there.
abouts actually occupied, but he can
stand without injury a small amount of
home work. At fifteen, work occupy
ing an hour and a half •at home 'would
not be too much. But 'the character of
the work needs to be judiciously select
ed by the teacher. It should be such
as is manifestly within the, capacity of
the child, and ought to be in the main
in the nature of memory exercise, or
somewhat mechanical, and should never
involve the solution of difficult - prob.
lems, which may require an indefinite
length of time, and may harrass thel
young brain far more than the masteri
has any conception of. Then the mas-t
ter should also note the physical
strength of the pupil, and should be
very careful about stimulating or over
loading weakly, nervous pupils who ar
often quick and ambitious in proportio
to their real weakness. Every teachei
can call suoh oases to mind, and oan
also remember their opix sites, th
heavy brained but_ healthy fellows
whom no appeals can move, and wh
cannot be overburdened, because, liko
the camel, when the load is too heavy
they will quietly throw 'it off. Often
those fellows who have given the earn,
est teacher the heartache, trirn out more
successful in life than the quicker but
more fragile lads that were his de-
light in the school room. Staying
power is worth a great deal in the race
of life.
And that observation brings us to our
conclusion. Let no -pressure bring the
teacher to injure or weaken the physil
cal basis of the man or the woman tha
is to be, but consistent with that
moderate amount of home -work judicir
ously selected is not objectionable in th
oase of the older pupils, and is indee
necessary to their satisfactory progres

A Long Lost Mother Found.
For five years "Grandma" Hamilto4
had lived at the Horne for the Friend-
less—blind and. feeble and -wanting t )
die. She was too gt)Od to go to th
poor -house and had no money to go t
the Old Ladies' Home; so the naanag
ment gave her a room andthe fairies o
the good angels brought the old lady
comfortable rocking chair and other a
ticles of furniture, and there she salt
rocking and knitting life to its ',lose.
One day a lady, in sealskins and je
els, rang the bell and asked : "Is Mr
Hamilton in ?"
No, they said. There was no Mr
Hamilton there. The lady could n
mean "Grandma" Hamilton? In a
the five years gone nobody had cane

When they led the old lady in, die
lady in sealskin and. jewels burst intO
tears, and throwing her arms aron
her neck, sobbed out: "Mother, mot
er, don't yon know Louisa ?"
"Oh, no," said the old lady, peeri
with her blind eyes and shaking h
head, "my daughters Louisa and. Li
zie are both dead, and you cannot

"ButLindeed, I am , and Lizzie
