A committee of the N. E. A., consisting of Wm. T. Harris, F. Louis Soldan and T. M.

The rites and ceremonies of Christmas have an educational value that is not realized. The gifts are baubles and toys, are sweet things and fancy articles, are trash and worse sometimes, but the giving. It has its lessons. No child ever remembered its playmate on a Christmas morning who did not receive a blessing. No man has ever opened his purse, or done some little act of kindness on a Christmas day that the star of Bethlehem did not shine more brightly for him. It is the one day in all the year that the manger is more than a palace to the human race. The halo on the brow of the Christ-child is for the one day a halo on the Christian world. Christmas day is a day of stars in the midnights of our existence, and to the pagans it is midnight all the time. It is very old fashioned to talk to you, the reader, but the editor knows so many of you personally, and the clientage of the JOURNAL is so personal, that just for Christmas morning we will drop the formal we, and we the editor will step outside the office and say, "I wish you all a merry Christmas."

CHRISTMAS JOTTINGS. The sweetest Christmas music is the unsung song in the heart

of a thankful child.

*

If you cannot give anything else to your loyal friends, the childred-give them a smile.

[graphic]

*

*

If you teach Fairy Stories all the year, one week before Christmas, at least, mention the Babe of Israel.

*

*

There is more pleasure in giving than receiving to a man who has just received a pair of ear mufflers in California's balmy

climate.

*

*

There are few people who know how to give. It is a science. The matter of giving is not measured by the size of one's purse but the largeness of one's heart. It is also as important to give the right thing as it is to applaud in a theatre at the right time.

The saddest Christmas of all is for the mother who sees a vacant chair, the toys laid carefully away, and knows the childish voice is for ever hushed. All silence, silence, all a memory, except memory itself. Subscribe for the Western Journal of Education. That the JOURNAL goes into every school district of the State is no reason why teachers should not take it, individually. The copy that goes to each district clerk is for the school library. At the same time it affords an easy and sure means of communication between the State department of education and the several public school officers.

If the JOURNAL is what we are trying to make it, it contains much that is worth more than a cursory reading, much that it will profit teachers to study, much that will be valuable as matters of reference, hereafter.

Many of the articles are intended as suggestive guides to teachers, and may be of value for future as well as present use.

The teacher who has a file of the JOURNAL to which he can readily refer has a marked advantage over one who must rely on his own ingenuity or on the vague remembrance of something hastily read.

The true professional spirit should lead teachers to contribute to and subscribe for their own State educational journal. With the State patronage the paper can do without them, possibly-better than they can do without it. With a paid subscription list of 3000, and that is what it should be, the JOURNAL could and would be made the equal of, if not superior to any other educational journal published. Subscribe for the JOURNAL.
