EDUCATIONAL COLUMN,

EDITED BY INSPECTOR M’CORMAC.

NUGGETS,

1. The editor of this column wishes to express his thanks to the teachers, trustees and others who have written him letters of approbation since he in- augurated the Educational Column. It is pleasing and encouraging to know that the teachers appreciate the Column and ,express themselves as to the benefit they derive from it. Dur

ing my inspectoral visits it was gratify-

ing to know that many teachers paste the Columns in scrap books which they keep in their desks. It was also grati- fying to notice on the blackboards in many schools some of the practical work given in the Educational Column. Any suggestions as to how to make the Column more beneficial and any questions of an educational nature will be gladly received by the editor.

2, Hon. Frank A. Hill, of Massa- chusetts, will lecture at the next meet- ing of the Provincial Teacher’s Associ- ation which will be held at Charlotte- town next September.

3. Now is the time to-have your Geography classes learn the geography of China. The article on Chinese Geographical names given in this Column will prove very usetul to both teachers and pupi's.

4. Try to make the school surround- ings neat and attractive. Have your school grounds scrupulously clean, See that the outhouses are properly kept. It possible have your school lot enclosed by a good substantial and at- tractive tence. Many teachers are do- ing good work in regard to transform. ing the school yard into a school lawn. RESCUING THE DROWNING. Inspector McCormac has secured 36 copies of an illustrated chart pub- lished by the Royal Canadian Humane Association. These charts he has placed in school houses of districts bordering on the sea-coast of the Eastern Inspectorate. Each chart gives instruc:ions on (1) how to get a struggling man out of the water; (2) if clutched, how best to get free; (3) best methods of rescuing drowning persons; (4) how to revive the ap- parently dead, &c.

The Royai Canadian Humane As- sociation was instituted in 1894 for the purpose of rewarding persons, who, with promptitude and bravery, and at personal risk, or haszard of their own lives, save, or make strenu- ous eftorts to save the lives of others, in cases of drowning, steamer or boat accidents, railway accidents, accidents at fires, ice accidents, freezing, ex- posure &c. To carry on this matter of rewarding hercic work in life saving the society requires generous financial

support. Persons desiring copies of the above-mentioned chart can secure

them from C. A. P. Powis, Esq, Secretary of the R. C. H. Association, Hamilton, Ontario, for 25c each. The charts are nicely gotten up, with strong linen backs, and are well worth a quarter dollar; and _ besides, by the purchasing of them you assist a worthy cause.

Teachers of the schools in which those charts are placed-are requested to give the pupils instruction on the subject matter of the chart. As the charts are we!i viustrated little trouble will be experienced in giving the in- structions. Teachers are also request-

RECITATION FOR GRADES II AND IIL.

THE BOY WHO LAUGHS. I know a funny little boy,

The happiest ever born;

His face is like a beam of joy, Although his clothes are torn.

I saw him tumble on his nose,

And waited for a groan;

But how he laughed ! Do you suppose He struck his funny bone.

There’s sunshine in each word he speaks,

His laugh is something grand;

Its ripples overrun his cheeks

Like waves on snowy sand.

He laughs the moment he awakes, And till the day is done;

The school room for a joke he takes, His lessons are but fun.

No matter how the day may go,

You cannot make him cry;

He’s worth a dozen boys I know

Who pout and mope and sigh. —Woman’s Journal.

;the name. We would know at once that the “City Near the Sea” must apply to a seaport. Yun ho means “The River of Transportation,” and we naturally infer that the w t iwi thus designated must be commercial’, importent. Yun ho, in fact, s the Chinese name of the Grand Cana which plays so large a part in the freight service of East China,

However many syllables there may be in a Chinese place nameit is com- posed of as many words as there are syllables for all Chinese words are monosyllabic. If we knew the mean- ing of even one of the words in a geographical name it helps to convey a definite idea. The words Ho and Kiang, tor example, both mean “River,” and when we see them on a map we know they refer to a river or stream, Many of the names of rivers are descriptive of them: Hoang ho, for example, means “Yellow River;’ Tsin kiang means ‘ Clear River.” Observe how definite is the idea expressed in the name of each of the three rivers which converge upon Canton, One of them is the Si kiang, or “West River,” another the Pe kiang, or “North River;” the third is the Tung kiang, or ‘Fast River.” The names ot these Rivers tellthe direction from which they come. They help to simplify the study of the

they unite they form the Chu kiang, or ‘Pearl River.” The Chinese named their largest river in the north the Hoang ho because it cuts its bed through yellew soil from which it de- rives its colour. The yellow flood it pours into the sea colours that part of the ocean yellow, and hence the Chinese call the sea Hoang hai, or Yellow sea.

The Chinese unite the words in a name so that they form one word just as we write Newton, Hartford or Deer- field. Sometimes we unite the words in a Chinese name and sometimes we separate them, but their is no reason, for example, why we should write Tien- Tsin when we do not write Pe-kin. Each of these nam:s is composed of two words. Pe means “north,” and Kin means “the capital” or “the king’s household,” and thus Pekin means the northern capital. Tien means “heaven- ly’ and Tsin means “place,” and this the rame of the largest city in north- east China means “heavenly place,” a name it has borne for many centuries. When Marco Polo visited the city in the thirteenth century he translated it into “Citta Celeste.”

Many Chinese names we see in the newspapers and do not even attempt to

important city on the Yang tse kiang. There are only six letters in the name and yet any Chinese boy would know from the two short words composing it that it is the name of the town standing at the “kow”’ or mouth of a river named Han. The Han is the greatest tributary of the Yang tse kiang and plays a most important part in the commercial life of that teeming valley, and the city built on the spot where the Han mingles its waters with the Yang tse kiang is Hankow, i. e., the town at the mouth of the Han,

The word Yang means “ocean,” tse means “son,” and the name Yang tse ki nv, which the Chinese applied ages ago to their greatest river, shows that they did not mean to depreciate its importance. Some writers say the early Chinese believed their largest river contributed more water to the making of the ocean than any other stresm in the world, and so in the name of the river they conveyed the idea that the ocean was its son. The name is often erroneously translated the Blue River.

Pekin has not always been the capital of the Empire, but Nankin, a city far to the South, was long the seat of Government; and, as the name Pekin means “northern capital,” so the name Nankin means “southern capi tal.” “White River,” is the meaning of Pei ho near whose mouth are the forts just seized by the Powers.

In some books or maps we see the words “fu’ or “hien” added to the names of many towns. These words are not a part of the names, and some of the best atlases omit them, for they engthen the name and make it more formidabie to the foreigner. Fu means the capital of one o‘ the departments

Hien signifies one of the districts into which a department is divided, and when attached to a place name means ‘hat the official in charge of the districts reside there. It is better to omit these merely political designa- uons, When we have more intimate dealings wiih China and better know- ledge of the people and their country, we shall have uniformity in the spelling of China’s place names, and know what these names mean ; and we shall see clearly that these names show considerable imaginative and decrip- tive facility, and that they are really helpful in the study of Chinese geography.—New York Sun.
