&c.

The leaves of ever-greens should be kept separate.

These will enable a judicious instructor to communicate a great variety of valuable information.
On some things connected with such instruction I find I arrived at the same conclusions as Pestalozzi, though I have never read his works, and for some years after my first efforts, did not know that such a person existed.

I mean, however, to give my views on teaching by objects more fully in a work I hope soon to prepare, to be entitled "The Infant Teacher in the Nursery and the School." The utility of this mode of teaching must be obvious, for if the children meet with any of those terms in a book which they are reading, they _understand them immediately_, which would not be the case unless they had seen the _object_.

The most intellectual person would not be able to call things by their _proper names_, much less describe them, unless he had been taught, or heard some other person call them by their right names; and we generally learn more by mixing with society, than ever we could do at school: these sorts of lessons persons can make themselves, and they will last for many years, and help to lay a foundation for things of more importance.
I am convinced the day is not far distant when a museum will be considered necessary to be attached to every first rate school for the instruction of children.
Sight is the most direct inlet for knowledge.
