When do they take them in, and how do they get them in ?" "Why, you must apply on Monday mornings," answered another; and the following Monday I had no less than forty-nine applications, all of which I was obliged to refuse, because the school was full.[A] [Footnote A: This circumstance took place in the heart of London, and some of the chief actors in it are now men and women; and should this meet the eye of any of them, I am sure they will not forget the circumstances, nor entirely forget their old teacher.] NATURAL HISTORY.
When teachers are conversing with their children, they should always take care to watch their countenances, and the moment they appear tired, to stop.

An hour's instruction when the children's minds and hearts are engaged, is better than many hours effort, when they are thinking of something else.

In addition to thirty-four pictures of Scripture history, we have sixty of natural history, each picture having a variety of quadrupeds, birds, fishes, and flowers.

The first thing we do is to teach the children the names of the different things; then to distinguish them by their forms; and, lastly, they are questioned on them as follows: If the animal is a horse, we put the pointer to it, and say-- What is this?
A.A picture of a horse.

Q.What is the use of the horse?
A.To draw carts, coaches, waggons, drays, fire-engines, caravans, the plough and harrow, boats on the canal, and any thing that their masters want them.
