When they knew by signs from hcavc.-n They had crucified th eir L0rd!
Then they l aid the preci ous body
In a rock hewn-to mb alon e,
And before its somber open i ng
Soldiers roll ed a heavy s tone.

THE term " ff erharlian is m, " as uscc1 in America, denot es collccli\·cly a m(JrC or l ess unified body of e du cationa l do ctrines, derived from various so urces, lhough chiefly,eilhcr direc tl y nr indire c ll y, from the teachings of lhc di sc iple s of H erbart in Germany.

In Am,'Tica this influence hns become so marked in the last two decades that today "He r bartian Pedagogy, " hoth amo ng friends and foes, designates well the s pirit and philosophy of";\!cw Educat io n" wh ich from vitaliz in g ce nters is giv in g Yigorous life to ou r educationa l theorie s a nd methods In some of th ese ce nters the ideas appear to he indigenou s, the cr eations of great o riginal thinke r·s with little or· no suggestion from the German ph il osop her. This is not1ceahly true at Oswego, X. Y., Lebanon, 0., and Englewood, III. Also in America, as in Germany, amo ng th ose tracing thcir pedagogical ancestry more or less direct ly to Herbart , so me h ave emphasi zed o ne phas e nnd so me anot her of t he great tntths taught by their co mm on maste r.

John Ruskin in the pn: face to The Crown of Wild Oli vcs says:" It matters little, ultimately, how much a lahon: r is paid fo r making any thing: but it matters fearfu ll y what. lhe thing is, w hi ch he is compelled to make. If his la bo r is so ordered ast.oprocluce food, a nd fresh ait·, and fresh water, no malle r t.hat h is wages low-the food :tnd ft·esh ai r and wate r n;IJ bt' at last thct·e, and he wiil at las t get them. But if he is pa id to destroy food and fresh air, or t.o produce ir on bnrs ins1:ead of them, the food and air w111 fina lly not be there, and he will not get them. to his !!Teal and fina l incon venicncc. So 1:hat. conclusi,·ely. in po li tica l as in household economy, t.hc great ques ti on is not so much what money yiJu in yo ur pocket, as what vo u w ill l>uv with it and do wit.h it. '' a few he adds. that the wea lth of na ti on s, as of m en, co n sists in s ubstances, n ot in c iph ct·s; and t hat the rea l good of a ll wo rk , an d of all comme r ce. depends on th e fina l wo rth of the th i ng you make, or get by it. •·

Time in Education.
It is a very difficult t hin g for any one to gi ve a definit1 on of time which satisfies himself. It is stlll more diffi c ult to formulate that wh ich wiU sat1sfy othe r s. 'Ylore d ifficult still is the task of placi ng time in .;; uch relati on to all we do, th at we mak e t he most of time 1tself and oft he op po rtunities 1t bring ·. ·
It is not to time as a fixed , a mea su r ed, a limited, portion of duration that atte ntion is caHed. No r do we sto p to consi de1· t ime as uncreafed a nd un cond iti oned a nd yet that within which a ll thin gs else take place a nd by which all o th er things are conditioned. again do we refer at present to time in its real value a nd to the fact that ma ny lost opportunities are to be counted in th e life of a ll
Nor yet agai n to the st ill more serious fact that lo st time cann ot be regai ned an d that for time there is no s ubstit ute. no cquiyaJent, nothing to tak-e its place, a ncl no thing wit h which it can be compared. It is to time as it e nter s int o the e ducation al problem and product a nd as it is rela:ed .to the formation of h ab its of ri ght
ha bit s of ri ght do in g, h abi ts of nght use a nd habits of conformity to law and right to such a nd in such
degn.:e of intensity th :tt the Jifl: is as the n eed le Lo t he po le in a nd as cons ta nt in it s he a rin g upon individual anrl soc ial life as the actio n of the Ia w of graYitation. lfc du cat ion cnnsistu l in lcan1ing so many fa ct s, th e clt·met Jt nf ti me wou ld not oceup_v so i mp o1·tant a pla ce.

It is t he cl ement of Lim e -.vhich t?nah les a person to make aga in a nd agnin the same fo rm s n nd to acquin: the skil l which renders act ion a lm ost automnlic. This is the o ne thing in relation to time which it is difficu lt for us to underst a nd and t..:spcci: tll_v to apprccil-lte.
As it is the oa k which h as seen in its growing the g re atest number nf years, a ll t hings else hcin g e qual. t hat with stan us the tendency to decay; so it is the mm:1 0 1· woman 'vvho ha s tal<cn time in getting to ho ld whatever is or va lu e, and to th i nk and to refl ect up on whateve1· he s t<es and finds , whose kn ow ledge is a n ti l aiJlc aud w ho se character is fixed .
