Mistakes in Teaching.

Mr J. L. Hughes, Inspector of Sober* g, I Toronto, Canada, has written a boot OH i "Mistakes in Teaching," and under Chnpteff ', 1., entitled "Mistakes in Aim," there iXQ i several sub-headings, the first of which ;»«I " It is a Mistake to Regard Knowledge as of Greater Importance than the Child." This, says the author, is a fundamental error, and he proceeds to amplify the pro position as follows:— For centuries the minds of teachers have been clouded by the accepted maxim: " Knowledge is power." This is only par tially true. The undue recognition of this parthl truth preveuta our conception of the greater truth beyond it. Knowledge in itself is not power. A single huxnun being is worth infinitely mote than all thfi knowledge that can be communi cated to him or acquired by him. Knowledge has no power of development in itself. Man likr. Man is the grandest earthly power created by ftod, and he ghould continue to grow fcr over. The teacher has to deal with two elements of power-the child aud knowledge. The at tention of educators has been directed chiefly to knowledge. This should not be the case. Man was originally created in the image of God. He would have con tinued to grow more like God if nothing ha<i interfered with his development. Sin did interfere with his development, and weakened him physically, intellectually, and morally. It continues to do so still. Education should counteract sin by making the race stronger. The influences of good and ©vil in the individual and the. race are cumulative by heredity. While the influ ence of evil of any kind will continue to grow stronger from generation to generation if unchecked, its curse mny be removed in feur generations. The influence of good, on the other hand, when it has been expressed in definite activity, goes on for ever. man never could have saved him self from the effects of sin, it equally clear that as an individual ov a race he can never grow better without conscious effect of his own. To help him to make this conscious effort should be the aim of the teacher. God perfect in knowlege, in purity, and in power, is the centre of a universal unity. This unity cannot be complete until it is in perfect harmony with itself throughout its entirety. It is the teacher's glorious pri vilege to aid in bringing about this har mony. The fullest human happiness and the highest rate of human progress will be attained when each individual in the hu man race is growing consciously towards God in knowledge, in purity, and in power. To secure this result should be the aim of the teacher. Hecannaver have this aim co long as he over-estimates mere knowl edge and under-values humanity.

Fatal Electric Shock.

The death of Reynold Callaghan, twenfy six years of age, an employee of the Mel bourne Electric Light and Traction Power Company, who on July 18th inadvertently got into contact with a " live" wire, and ! received an electric shock of 4-000 volts, I was inquired into at the morgue by Mr Coroner Candler. Callaghan was engaged at Chapel Street, Prahan, in lowering a " transformer " into a pit which had been prepared for it. His foot, which hung down into the hole, happened unfortunately to swing against the terminal of a 4000 volt fuse, and, being- unable to withdraw it, the full force of the current passed through the body. A fellow-workman, named Ernest James Copsey, who witnessed the occurrence, and saw his workmate trans fixed, paralysed and unable to break the con tact with the wire, with commendable pre sence of mind rushed to his macintosh which was close by, in the pocket of which he had a pair of rubber gloves, and donning them he seized Callaghan and dragged him away from the wire. When released he was unconscious, and remaiued so for two or three minutes. Then he was taken to the Alfred Hospital, where he was found to be suffering from burns and shock. Both hands and both fret were burnt and blis tered, also his right elbow and right knee. Gangrene subsequently set in, necessitating amputation of the right leg. The sufferer lingered on, but lockjaw set in, and he died. All the evidence taken went to show that the occurence was pnrely acci dental. The foreman admitted that the work was hazardous, but he stated that all the workmen were instructed in their duties, and were thoroughly conversant, with the risks. The position of the wire was safe, but deceased incautiously swung his foot to far. The current could not j be cub off during the progress of such work, j A verdict of accidental death was returned, ] and the jury complimented the workman j Copsey on his courageous action in dragging ■ the deceased away from his terrible position ; at a great personal risk. i

Copper That Cuts Steel. A scientist claims to have discovered the long-lost art of hardening and tempering copper, which was in use in tho ancient civilisation of both the new and old worlda, bat which has long been forfotten. Not only does the discoverer make these claims, but he backs them up with the most posi tive evidence of genuineness. Samples of the metal which have been treated by the secret process have been exhibited and put to tests which demonstrates the success of the methods used beyond the possibility of a dt.ubt. The inventor has by this secret piocass m.ide copper chisels which will cut steel, and accomplished other seemingly im possible things. Hatchets are exhibited which will cub the hardest woods without the slighest impression being made on their keen edges, and knives have been produced with [edges as keen as those of razors. — • Cassell's Saturday Journal.'
