That the work it has done has been well done is attested by other institutions that in the past and at present receive into colleg·ecourses the students prepare¢! here. Basing their action upon our past work the following Institutions admit to their Freshman class those to whom we giYe certificates, without further examinations: Brown University, Providence, R. I. Rochester University, Rochester, N. Y. Dartmouth College, Hanover, N. H. Wellesley College, Wellesley, Mass. State University, Madison, Wis. The great need of this age in education is'the practical. What will best fit the boy and girl to do duties that in life will devolve upon them,is the all-important question. Too many, however, mistake as to what the rea.Ily practical is. Is the really practical educatio_n one that prepares for just one thing in life? Who can tell what his boy will want to do? In this age of change who can tell what he himi:t,.,Jfwjl]

Farmers' boys and girls need a good practical education. Is a course in fancy book-keeping· surh? Is a smattering of French or German'? Is attending a course of lectures on fal'ming or commercial law? To one in a hundred any one of these mig·ht be practical, but only after some other things. -------

of presidents, but a grasp of the principles that have been at work, as our country has developer!, and will mould our future. 3. A knowledge of physics and chemistry. An amusing story is told of a man who attempted to drain a low piece of land into a neighbor's pond. He drained his neighbor's pond into his low land. Would not a knowledge of the chemical effects of putting different elements together save a farmer from many expensive experiments in the use of fertilizers? 4. A SKillfulness in the use of tools and appliances. A farmer needs to be a jack of all trades. Going to town to have everything mended or spending a half day to bring a man to do a half hour's job is not economy. 'l'he farmer's wife,if ingenious, will train the chi!, dren while young to do lots of odd jobsthing·s that add greatly to the comfort and beauty of home. Thepresentdrifttowards industrial education is a move in the right direction. Let the farmers' sons and daughters be well equipped in these four directions and there will be little inclination on the part of the men to waste time in loafing About, RaloonRand cm•npr gT01•Prip-,_ v\Tinter evenings will l>e gladly welcomed.

Books and papers and the discussion of their contents will fill up the chinks of time. Happiness, usefulness and wealth will cron-n the endeavors of parents to train up well-equipped farmers. Three of the candidates at the present time for the highest positions in the gift of the nation are sons of ministers. A large percentage of the prominent and useful men and women in our city churches were brought up on farms. The church and the Christian home have been the centres where the best thinking has been done. Ministers and farmers have usually had time to be with their children and having· books and papers and thoughts have given a strong impetus to the first few years of tlte child's mental growth. Will it pay for one who wants to get German for a practical use to study Latin? Most certainly it will. Latin is an easy inclined plane by which to approach German. That education is the best, as a general rule, which brings the student into face-to face contact and relation with the greatest number of magnetic, controlling, and formative minds.-Martin B_.Anderson.·

WAYLAND WILL l'l'PAY?
Hardly a week passes that fathers and mothers and teachers do not ask me 'whether it will pay to send some bright, •ambitious girl to college. '!'here is but one -answer: If civilization pays, if education is not a mistake, if hearts and brains nnd ,souls are more than the dress they wear, ·then, by every interest dear to a Christain ·republic, by all the hope we have of building finer characters than former generations have produced,give the girls the widest and the highest and the deepest educa,tion we have dreamed of, and then regret that it is not better, broader and deeper. Franceneverneeded educated mothers as America needs them to-da.y, and neither France nor Europe ever realized the glory of civilization which will crown our Republic when all the homes, schoolrooms, and churches are filled with women as intelligent as they are loving, as broad-minded as they are large-hearted, as strong· in body and mind as they have proved themselves generous in heart. The civilization of the Anglo-Saxon race in America, therefore, depends upon the eclucation-ph;ysical, mental, moral, and social-of the women for the next fifty years. ALICE E. FREEMAN p AU.fER, Ex-President
Wellesley C'oJlege.
'l'he value of the German language from a commercial point of view is well indicated by the make-up of Tile Baker's Helper, a monthly journal for bakers and confection~rs. Its articles a.re in both German and Eng-Iish. While there is no probability that the language of this country will ever be German, yet for the business man the ability to speak and write German will, for a long time, be a money-value accomplishment. It is the aim of our German department to give those wishing it a good talking and reading familiarity with the German. He only can teach who looks clown upon the elements of his department, from the heights of broad and solid attainment.Martin B. Ander 011. What a blow this strikes at the position of those teachers who are satisfied to know just enough to pass the Superintendent's examinations for certain positions! Let our young men, and women too, who aspire to be teachers in our district schools, not content themselves with knowing less than ten times as much as they will be obliged to teach. 'l'hen will they have a "magnetic, controlling and formative influence" over their pupils. C01vllJLb1VCEivIENT.
In a community where a,n Academy is the one educational institution outside the Common Sc'hool, commencement week exercises have an interest such as cannot be where the Academy is overshadowed b.Y a College. Five separate programs were prepared and carried out by the pupils at Wayland. These were listened to by large and appreciative audiences. The exercises began with an excellent

Whoever wishes to study with success, must exercise himself in these three things: in getting clear views of a subject; in fixing in his memory what he has understood; and in producing something from bis own resources.-Agricofa. The three Literary societies of Wayland as well as the societies for Christian and Moral improvement @~ive abundant opportunity for the putting in practice the facts stored in the class-room and Library. 'l'he informed man in the world may be said to be always surrounded by what is known and friendly to him, while the ignorant man is as one in a, land of strangers and enemies.-Neil Arnott. Those that heard Miss Ferris' powerful and sweet voice at Commencement will be glad to know that she will probably be at Wayland the coming yea.r. In instrumental music the conservatory method will be the one in use. Short and frequent lessons will be our motto.
It is an accepted h;irg·ienicprinciple that nourishing food and plenty of exercise produce strong bodie:s. The principle is equally true in mental hygiene. 'l'he future thinkers are not now the boys and girls that are asking for easy studies and seeking to avoid examinations. The Bible course a,t Wayland Academy is worthy of consideration. A schola,r in five years would complete it. 'l'he Bible is the text-book. The :first year is devoted to the biography of the more prominent characters; the second to the history of the Jewish people; the third to the life of Christ; the fourth to an inductive study of the doctrines and thEihistory of the early church as given in the Acts and Epistles; and the fifth year is devoted to a study of the prophesies and the literary features of the Bible. The old Socratic Method war, that the teacher should instruct the pupil everywhere-in the forum,, in the market-place, in the shop, and upon the street.-Henr:,v Darling.
WAYLAND REYERENCE FOR BOYS.
I feel a profounder reverence for a boy than for a man. I never meet a ragged boy of the street, without feeling that I may owe him a salute, for I know not what possibilities may be buttoned up under his shabby coat. When I meet you in the full flush of mature life, I see nearly aU there is of you; but among the boys are the great men of the future; the heroes of the next generation; the philosophers, the tatesmen, the philanthropists, the great reformers and moulders of the next age. Therefore., I say, there is a, peculiar charm to me in the exhibition,· of young people engaged in the busine ·s of education.James A. Gatfield. 'l'be method in the education of the present day that is nearest the Socratic method is the best--the method that brings the pupil into daily contact with actual life-the education where on the play ground, and in the school-room the pupil comes into personal relations with earnest, thorough, enthusiastic teachers. Our taxidermy department has been a very enthusiastic one the past year. Boys have often been out scouring the woods for specimens long before brea.kfast. In making presents the fashion has been to presrnt a nicely-mounted bird. Much has also been done in familiarizing om· students with the different kinds of wood. 'l'his method of studying science is very valuable for cultiva.ting the observing faculties. Hosts of people go through the world as unseeing as though they were blindfolded. "Having eyes they see not." Our science teacher aims to incite students to use their eyes and ears. "Quick perception is the result of training in the school of experience." Traveling through the country, your horse will see and call to another horse before you have seen one near. You might not t,hink there is a dog with1n miles, but your dog will find one or more at nearly every farm-house. Their experience has been in that line, and theirpe\·ceptions here become quick. The boy that has had to make his own way, being knocked about from pillar to post, will be quick to see things that the carefully-nurtured boy would pass unnoticed. The farmer's boy knows a thousand and one thing·s about the country that the city boy does not, while the city boy observes that in the city to which the country boy pays no heed. Each in his own line bas been trained. Experience bas quickened perceptions. Whatever in school life can be done to quicken perception, is a blessing. The more exact and minutetheteacher in his requirements, the better for the student.

All this time she has been expecting the summons, to come up higher, and bas patiently waited the coming of her Master. All who knew her will recall her loving, happy nature and faitbful Christian life, and will cherish in memory her.,manykinddeeds, and precious words of testimony to the love of Jesus. All the Wayland boys and girls will sympathize with Professor Sweet, in his great affliction. Within one week, both his wife and his mother passed from earth to heaven.
GREETINGS.
WHA1' TWO YOUNG PEOPLE 1'0 DO.
DECIDED ing how hard it is to obtain
a position. And yet the business man who has a vacancy in his office finds it hard to fill it satisfactorily. Many good places to-day are waiting for the right men to enter and develop them. There are too many young men who have not t,he industry and fidelity to command success by deserving it. They are looking out for short hours, easy occupation, and a good salary. When they work, their chief object seems to be to get through as quickly as possible, and go away for what they call a good time. This is not the way to become business men, or to accomplish anything in the world. It is not young fellows of this kind who control railroads, manage newspapers, and build up great enterprises. Fortunately, there are some boys of a different stamp, who are not afraid to work; who can stand long hours; who are not always thinking of a good time; who are readyto "lend a hand." Thereisroom for them, and work for them to do. Such boys grow into men like those who have raised their country to its present pitch of grea,tness and prosperity.-Commercia,JReporter. ------Of the pleasant reports that come to us of our former students none pleases us more than that they are aggressive and consistent in their Christian life. Education that does not make men and women better and more useful; is lacking in some essential element. Our aim is to make not only good scholars, but more useful and unselfish men and women.
"Say, Mary, I'm going to have an education." "What makes you say that? I thought you were going into a store or to • work in a shop. I tho.ught you just hated study. What has come over you?" "Well, I did feel so until I visited Uncle John. I sort of dreaded to go there.
