Mistaken Mm* of ThorottfhMM.
From Superintendent Seaver'* Ad-
«IreitM to the Beaton Teacher .
Oh, the waste of time that ha
come from mistaken ideas of
, thoroughness! The common no-
;tion that no degree of thorough-
ness is too great to be worth the
time and effort required to attain
it is a great mistake. There is
often serious waste of energy
ct.used by working too long for
mere perfection of details. An
eminent teacher and writer on
pedagogy told me a bit of his
experience which well illustrates
this point. He was a boy taking
lessons on the violin from a cel-
ebrated teacher. At the end of

sounder judgment than the pres-

Rear Admiral Sampson, whoj
viewed the destruction oi Ce-
vera's fleet at a distance of nil
and one*lialf miles from the place
where Schley was hammering
holes into the Spanish warships,
and Major General Shafter, who,
by courtesy, was commander-in-
chief of the victorious army
which stormed K1 Caney and San
Juan hill, and who awaited re-
ports of the progress of the but-
tle three miles in rear of his
troops, are engaged in an effyrt
to belittle each other, through
the medium of reports to the
heads of their departments. The

refused, and gave a harder ex-

the pupil's performance was not
satisfactory to himself, and again
he asked permission to review.
But no. the teacher assigned a
still harder exercise for the next
lesson. Finally, after a course
