BY MRS. BETTIE C. VANCE, [ S x'h and Seventh Grades. .
One of the most important problems we have to solve, is teaching j pupils how to study. This training cannot be accomplished all at : once. The first grade is not too soon to begin using methods of lo- ^ gical thinking. Right habits must be formed at the very beginning, j by g'viiv; tin: child the kind of work he can do, be certain that he understands what he is to do, and then see to it that the work is completed as directed.
In tho upper grades, and even in High Schools and College, we find a great number of students who have never learned how to study.
.Tin: gnat trouble with them is that they were not given the right kind •of work, nor made to form the right kind of habits in early school life.
! A wise teacher is she who trains the child to be independent of her, who leads him, step by step, into really intelligent study of any subject. Given a definite purpose, lie soon lenrnH to form definite desires, and to express these naturally. A tactful teacher can then very easily lead the child to the accomplishment of his purpose.
It is a great mistake to measure our succcss in the school room by Uic nunier of pages we cover in a given time. To finish half of 1 the arithmetic is better than that all of it be just scanned or looked

Accuracy is first in all teaching, and then by constant repetition, e may get somewhere in training the young to accomplish something.
If we required more accurate work in the lower grades,
•	lit the child to work independently, quickly and in an orderly we would establish such power of study as would be of great .'i io the student when he has passed on to the High School.
