CHILDREN AND THE BIBLE.

SOME AMUSING MISTAKES.

In the Times there appeared recently a letter from a New Zealand vicar on the subject of lack of religious teaching in the New Zea land schools. To quote his own words;--

"I say plainly and positively that a purely secular system of education is nothing less than a national disaster, My own experience is that children are as a rule, deplorably Strangely enough, corroboration to his letter has just appeared quite independently. It takes the form of a collection of "Schoolroom Huinour," collected by Dr. Macnamara in the Christmas number of "The Schoolmaster." Quite a large proportion of the "howlers" show "deplorable ignorance of Hiblion! facts," Old Testament history is more than a little involved in the mind of the child who perpe trated the flowing when writing of Elijah:--

"As Elijah went up to heaven he droped his mantle and Queen Elizabeth walked over it."

This shows a very quaint idea of the Old Testament life:-

The United States may learn some things of vast importance to our future, by a study of the methods by which France promotes the com mercial and manufacturing skill of her people. As a result we may be impressed with the importance of giving our common school education a practical turn, and making it the means of training our youth in ways that are rendered inipossible by the limitation of ap prenticeship which has followed the rise of organ.zed labour in this country.

to the commercial high schools, which are in Paris and distributed throughout the provinces, the curriculum embraces finance, geometry, foreign languages, commercial, fiscal and economic legislation and history, chemistry applied to industries, technology, applied physics and stenography. In the provinces there are schools of arts and trades at Com- piegne, Chelons sur Marne, Angers, Aix and Lille. These educate workmen capable of be. coming foremen in industries and versed in the mechanic aris. The teaching is actual practice in the workshops. The number of students is limited to 300 for each school. The method in these schools is interesting. There are four special workshops for practice in finting machinery, cabinet making and model- ing, foundry work and manufacture of bard. ware. The pupils are distributed among these shops, but all, during the three years' course, learn what is taught in each department, so school at Cluny is devilea-dupaca.

There are also numerous State schools that do preparatory work. That at St. Etienne is an example of all the schools of this grade.

The greater number of the chuldren's quaint mistakes arise from the children's habt af learning Scripture texts viva-vore from the

teacher, without thinking of the meaning of the words. Many repetitions cause them to distort the wards, and give rise to such examples as the following: -

"He that humbleth himself shall be exalted, and he that exaltelh himself shall be a baste" (abased).

The Commandments give rise to many quaint mistakes, The Seventh Command- ment, "Thou shalt not commit adultery" ap- pears as "Thou shalt not kick a duckery," and "Thou shalt not come into the country." The latter is splendid.

The wandering of the Israelites must have been very extensive in the mind of the small child who wrote that "Moses died before be| reached Canada, but he saw it from a. moon. tain" while a new conception of the temple is shown by "Solomon built a temple to put his wives in,"

Exactly what the children think of heaven it would be difficult to say, but a clue is given by the little girl of 5, who volunteered the informa tion that snow was swept out of heaven.

"But how does it get into heaven?" asked the master.

"Please, sir, the angels scratch it off their wings."

So does the following conversation between a teacher and two little brothers of 4 and 5

summers:

"Please can Stanley play on my harp ?” cried the bigger.

"Yes, I shall Yes, I shall!" taunted little Stanley,
