TRIFLES.

Prof. Chice, the popular Edinburgh surgeon in his "Looking Back," says that "Great things almost always have their origiu in littles." It may, therefore, be interesting and profitable (writes Mr. R. Cochrane, in the Book Monthly) to mark how some of the great things of literature sprang into being, not all at once, but slowly, it may be, at the tench or suggestion of little things, some may even tay the very commonplace things of life. Robert Burns, no doubt, never thought of this when he wrote his delightful poems on the monse and the daisy, towarde which his attention was drawn by the havoc to both, wrought by his ploughshare. Tonnyson was rosding the "Times" one day, when an expression in a Crimess letter, "Someone had blandered," stuck to him, and the whole scene of the charge of the Light Bridgade flushed before his mind's eye, and was sat down in the galloping versa of his Charge of the Light Brigade" almost immediately.

We all know where damuel Smiles get hig Brst suggestion for Self-Help. Hama young men it Leeds, who met iu the evening for self- education, hail asked Smiles to "talk to them a hit,"

George Stephenson came into these talks, and it was the interest shown by the young men in his career that led Smiles to write his biography. Also mitwrial to gathered was worked up until "Self-Help" took shape and sppeared after the access of the Stephenson Efe warranted its publication.

Brown

The new education, an practised in these secondary schools, and, be it noted, in many of our fester public schools, recognise tha en of this system and seeks to remedy it by placing a boy or girl not in one Form for all subject but in ́s Form for each adequate to the pupil's requirements in that subject.

THE OLD SPIBIT, BUT THE NEW WAY. Nor need the admirable Form spirit be quite lost. To quote from the report:

The novelist traditions and discipline which were associated walking down a lane in West Dorset when a with the old Form system should not be lost, farmer cart rumbled past in which was seated and it is, therefore, nsual to stlack each pupil the original of Tess. The author never saw to a Form master or mistress. This organiskar again, and he wore the ation is further supplemented in some oases by the division of the boys or girls into houses. Thus, in the Hackney Downs Secondary School for Boys, the head master has reorganised the school in such a way that each boy is attached to a house master, who is responsible for the general supervision of his work and for seeing that he takes his proper shire in the games and social work in the school."

We venture to predict that that is the ideal to which in time all our schools without excep tion will come. It is the objest of the secondary schools under the Council to prepare thoir pupils for a career in life that will be entered upon usually at sixteso, sometimes at seventeen and eighteen. At the procent time there in accommodation for some 83,000 pupile-bout 15,000 places being for boys and about 18,000 for girls.

One boy, after gaining a junior county sobolarship from Park Chapel School, Camden Town, fol. lowed this with further scholarships till he mutered at the Royal Naval Engineering College Keyham, He is now a naval constructor at at Devonport Dockyard.

Robert Michael Balantyne started in life as a clerk with the Hudson Bay Company, and. solaced his exils and sheared the heart of his mother in Edinburgh by long journal-like letters. When he returned to Bootland his journal-letters were collected and published by Blackwood, and the book met with a fair success. Eight years afterwards, in 1654, when a partner in Constable and Co., he encountered William Nelson, the publisher, who had read his Hudson Bay book and saw that Billantyna had the gift of narrative.
