TIP STANTON MATTKR.-Matters have as
sumed a very quiet aspect to-day relative to
the Stanton matter. Many stories have been
circulated that Mr.. Stanton would to-day
tender his resignation to the President, appa-
rently well founded; but il is ascertained tha.
such has not been the intention of Secretary
Stanton. Yesterday Mr.. Stanton was closeted
for some time with Senator Wade, az the Vice
Presidents Chamber, in the Capitol. This
morning Senator Wade called upon Mr.. STAN
ton ~ the War Department, and was with him
some time.
There is good authority for saying that Mr..
Stanton does not intend to tender his resigna-
ton to the President, at least for the present.

HURD & HOUeHToN.-One of the
most popular Of the New York Pub
fishing Houses is that of Hurd &
HoughtOn, with which is connected
the celebrated Riverside Press of III.
o. Houghton & Co. There is no
house in the country which surpasses
it in the neatness and durability of
the mechanical execution of their
books, and their publications are of
the higher and more useful class.
We take pleasure in copying the fol-
lowing notice of this house, from
which some idea may be formed of
the character Of their publications:
Hurd & Houghton's speciality is in
publishing standard Bellies lettreS and
Juvenile books. Recently they have
added some law books to their cata-
logue, and they are also known as the
publishers of the popular juvenile
RiUerside Magazine. Four editions
of Cooper's Novels are published
by them, and it is a singular fact that
during the last six months more COP
les Of these novels have been sold
than during any period of six months
for ten years. They publish four
editions of Dickens's Works" The
sale of the Globe" edition has gone
up to 100000 volumes, the House
hold {" 10000, and the Riverside, )"
which is incomplete, has reached
10000. They publish Bacon's
Works in fifteen volumes, and will
soon publish his life by Sped
ding, the editor of his works.
The editor has never received q

whose edition is very costly, but he

TREATISE ON GEOMETRY AND TRIG-

ELI I. Japan, NJ. A, Professor OF Math-
ematics, Ohio University. Cincinnati:
SARGENT, WILSON & HINKLE.
This is one Ofthe we'll known Eclec-
tic Educational Series, which is a good
guarantee of its general correctness,
and the neatness and substantial
character of its mechanical execution.
An examination of this work shows
that advantage has been taken Of the
progress which has been made in the
science of higher mathematics and the
new light which has been thrown
upon this most interesting of its
studies. It is claimed that decided
improvements have been made in this
book, in the arrangement of topics,
the division of subjects, the conve-
nience for reference, &c. The tables
of logarithms are especially valuable
on account Of their being carefully
corrected We think the merits of
the work will highly commend it to
the favorable consideration of teach
ers.

A PRACTICAL GRAMMAR OF THE
ENGLISH LANGUAGE. For the use of
Schools OF every grade; BY THOMAS w.
HARVEY, A. M. Cincin natl: WILSON,
HINKLE & Co. For sale by FISH & BAR
TER, Evansville.
The author of this new text book
in Grammer is a practical educator, of
high reputation as an instructor and
lecturer. He will be remembered by
our teachers and citizens as one of the
instructors of the Vanderburgh Coun-
ty Teachers Institute last year. To
the preparation of this work Prof.
Harvey has given years Of study and
proftted by a lifetime of practical
experience in the sehool-room. We
have not given it that careful examin-
alton which would warrant us in
its merits. Some of the
Distinguishing features of the treatise
are the following: The methodical
and logical development
of the subjects discussed; the brevity.
clearness, and uniformity of the rules
and definitions; the great variety of
models for parsing; the abundance of
exercises and illustra-
tions; practical character and sys-
tematic classification of the instruc-
ton and exercises in false syntax.
We hope to see this work success
fally stand the test of just criticism,
and make its way into the schools Of
the country as the recognized text
book.

IN THE SCHOOL ROOM-ChaDters ON
The Philosophy OF Teaching, by JoHN -
HUNT, T. l.. ID. Philadelphia. EIDRIDGE
q BROTHER. Pnee, 81 p.
There are few works which have
appeared during the present season
which will attract as much attention
among the thinkers and educators, as
this little volume of Prof. Hunt. The
Philosophy Of Teaching and its
proper application in the every day
practice of the school-room and the
family, is too little studied and con
sequently very little understood. The
perusal of Prof. Hunts work will not
fail to awaken a new interest and tend
to deepen research. The work = =
searching exposition of the profession
Of teaching as pursued i'm the United
States, which is, perhaps, the most
rational Of any in the world, and vet
falls short Of what it ought to be.
The art Of teaching, although pur-
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1868-07-09

sued for thousands of years and by
the greatest intellects, still appears to
fall far shorter Of perfection than any
other learned profession. The reason,
our author says. may be found In the
object it works upon-mind, entangl-
BILE spirit full of force and increasing
vitality and power.
"Chiseling the rude marble into
the finished statue, giving the i'm
preston of the seal upon the wax;
pouring water into an empty vessel"
all these SMILES lack one essential
element Of likeness. The mind is,
indeed, IN one sense, empty, and
needs to be filled. 1t is yielding.
and needs to be impressed. 1t is
rude, and needs polishing. But
it Is not a positive recipient of
external influences. II as an
Itself a hging poDer. 1t is acted
upon only by stirring up its
own activity. The teacher is doing
his work, only so far as he gets work
from the scholar. The teacher is not
only to draw out the resources of the
scholar: he must put in as well as
draw out. Learning is growth, and
teaching is doing whatever is neces-
sary to cause that growth. Upon
these general principles the work is
constructed and elaborated with
twenty eight instructive chapters
They combine practical instruction
with philosophic precept so we'll and
judiciously arranged that the oldest
veteran may profit by their perusal
The work is a long step in advance Of
anything we have yet seen on the sci
ence of primary and intermediate class
teaching. Itconcludes with long and
able argument for common schools
We commend it to the favorable no.
tice of all instructors Of youth.
