ted of defamation, the recital of dia-

large Chapel room Of the building
filled with children from six to ten
years of age, numbering about one
hundred and fifty Of them. Consid-
ering the age. of the children, we pro-
nounce the performances very credit
able. Many spoke too low to be dis
tinctly heard over the room; this fault
will be corrected as they grow older.
We are always pleased to- meet little

see them striving witluRH their might

We have inserted an article on the
first eheaded tobacco, accompanied
by a kind letter to George. from a dis
tinguished clergyman in New York.
We found these articles in the Little
Corporal, and liked them 50 well we
thought best to introduce them to cur
young readers. We wish every boy
and young man in Nebraska would
read them and ponder the SUBJECTIVE
well. We wish that the reading there
of would produce in their minds the
same abhOrance of the disgusting use
of tobacco, that every truly refined
lady and gentleman feels on observing
ayoung man addicted to- the use Of to-
baee0 IA any form, It is astonishing
how 50 useless and so filthy a habit
should become so general, Boys long
to be men, and seine more impatient
Of their sTadling cloths than others,
jump into full fruition ofthe bad hab-
its of the father or older brothers,
thinking this alone hastens their
standing as men of the world. We
impIore every young man to take the
advice of those who are slaves to this
~nRuseating habit, and forever discard
the use Of tObacco. Be pure in habits,
thoughts and deeds, and you will win
the confidence and appreciation of all
whose good opinions are worthy of
respect in after years. We are fond
of good boys, and will go far and do
much to aid and encourage them in
climbing slowly up TO af1uenee and
influential positions in life. Read the
article again and resolve never to use
tobacco. Remember that one bad
habit begets another, and when once
on the road the end is, at least, dan
gerOus.

We would add that Lincoln has now . population
OF twelve hundred inhabitants,a and 10 rapidly grow
ing into both political and commercial Importance.
The Capitol Building Is low completed, and the seS-
sion Of the Legislature just closed was held in it.
The action Of said Legislature so far as It related to
future interests OF this place was as favorable as the
most ardent Of its friends could ask.
A general railroad law was passed under which
some five or six railroad companies centering here
proposed to avail themselves Of state aid and push
their roads to completion at an early day, while at
least three confidently expect to be here within one
year from this date.
This would seem to justify us in saying that Lin

Mr. EDiroRi | was well pleased with tn
tone of your leAdor IN the JouEsAi, two week
since, on above subject. II is truly very i'm
portnnt selection on the part of parents and tag
payers, whom to select and elect, "a member
or Tie Doariof Education. In NY opinion ih,
same rule should govern US 10 tn choice, tha
would govern us in other matters Of great i'm
purtaucc. We should select those aud only those
having special qualifications for tho Use de-
signed to be made " them. All men have not
the same gifts, culture qualifications for mcnl-
bers Of Board Of Education, any more than they
have for tho Mechanic Arts, Law. Medicine or
II eology.
In the ordinary affairs Of life we arc controlled
by circumstances When We have law case,
we seek the advice anh service OF good attor.
nry, and When We are sick VIC apply ~ u skilliul
Physician for aid. 50 it ID with all other busi-
ness matters, tch as engineering, navigation,
RiilrOading, &c, we seek special skill and COM
pctcncy in that occupation IN which we desire
their services.
Ifthisis wisdom and prudence IN other things,
why is IL not in School Matters? Why not sc
lect educational men to manage aud CONTROL our
schools, and the education Of our youth Men
who can tell how a school should be managed,
caa toll when n lesson Is perfectly or imperfect
" rocitcd, and also when the teacher has dis
charged his whole duty IN hearing the same.
One " the great sources of failure aud want
of efficiency in our schools, Is the coldnsss and
indifference oi the teacher IN hearing rccitatiOns.
Thoy do not appear tn comprehend the magni-
tudcr Of their work. mind laboring with mind 4,
unfolding il, moulding aud preparing II for use
fulncss of the whole future Lille.
Pupils need TO be closely questioned on their
lessons in such q way ns tn awaken thought and
reflection. They must be stimulated to hnd out
the rrhy ofcverytliing, Their ambition must he
aroused to excel aud triumph over every Obsta-
clio and difficulty in the Path Of Science.
Tho teachers in our sohools are as good as any
in similar sch0ols of the State. They are eX-
emplary in morals, department aud desire tO be
faithful. efficient instructors, and in the main are.
hut still there is room for great improvement in
the efficiency Of the school for much greater
good.
There are men in our District Of liberal cduca-
tinn men Of experience as teachers, who if elect
cd, would give attention IL the sGhOOl, aud would
be able to make valuable suggestions to all in
ternsted in its welfare.
WHY not select them to take the oversight Of
our educational nursery? Our school would he
benefited by the step, Our teachers will be graf
i1rd and at the snmc time stimulated In great
cr Efforts In horonyh work in the schno -room as
they will know that earnest labor will then he
aud appreciated. Let us then at our
coming annual election act in concert for the
greatest good Or the school. Let the Cflce
seek the competent men," and be slow IT, support
the men whn seek the office Without the requi-
site qualifications. W.
