The Pouring-in Process.

This consists in featuring to a class OF
children upon every subject which occurs
to the teacher, it being his chief aim to
bring before them as many facts in a lin.
tied time as possible. It is as if he
should provide himself with basket of
Sweetmeats, and every time he should
come within reach of child, should sieze
. Rim, and compel him to. swallow-re regard
less Of the condition of his stomach
whatever trash he should happen first to
force into his mouth Children are indeed
fond of sweetmeats, but they do not like
30 have them administered, and every
psychologist knows there is such thing
IS eating enough even of an agreeable
thing to make one sick, and thus produce
loething forever after. Now many teach
ers are just such misguided caterers for
the mind. They are ready to seize upon
the uictinas q their kindness, force open
their mental outlets, and pour in, without
mercy and without discretion, whatever
sweet thing they may have at hand, even
though they surfeit and nauseate the
poor sufferer. The mind by this process,
becomes mere p0SsiOe recipient, taking il,
without resistance whatever is presented
till it is full 5..5 -sr.i
GA passive recipient !" said one to his
friend, "what is a passive recipient" GA
passive recipient" replied his friend, 'is
tV0-gaIIonja It holds just two gallons,
and as it is made of potters' ware, it can
never hold but just two gallons" This
is not an unfit illustration of what mean
by making the mind passive, recipient.
Wherever the teacher does not first excite
inquiry, first prepare the mind by Da55mg
1t up to desire to know, and if possible
so find out by itself, but proceeds to
think for the child, and to give him the
results before they are desired, or before
they have been sought for,-he makes the
mind of the child a taOo-gozzos jug, into
which he may pour just teco gallons, but
no more, and if, day after day, he should
continue to pour in, he may expect
that what he pours in will all run ooer.
The mind, so far as retention is concerned,
will act like the jug that is, a part of
what is poured in to day,will be diluted
by part of that which is forced in
tomorrow and that again will be partially
displaced and partially mingled with the
next days pouring, till at length there
will be nothing characteristic left But
aside from retention, there is great diff
terence between the jug and the mind
The former is inert material and may be
as good jug after such use as before
But the mind suffers by every unsuccessful
effort to retain. bios
This process of lecturing children into
imbecility is altogether too frequently
Practiced, and it is to be hoped, that in
telligent teachers will pause and inquire
before theyIspursue it further.-D. p

THE CALIFORNIA ExCURsIoHIsTs
SoLD.-The Elko (Nevada) hide
pendent is responsible for the follow
ing on the Cincinnati excursionists:
When the Cincinnati excursion
party was IN town on Wednesday, see-
ing their disposition to open wide
their wOndrous eyes at everything
coming under their observation differ
ing from what they had seen at home,
a Wag concluded to test the elasticity
of their credulity. A wagon load of
common volcanic rock, which was be-
ing hauled past for the foundation of
the Court House, stopped near where
several members of the party we're
standing, and cur friend pointed to it
and told them it was a load Of first
class silver ore being taken TO a mill.
They made dive for the wagon and
soon filled their pockets with the
broken fragments Of the rock lying
loose in the wagon; but as the crowd
continued to gather, and some of them
suggested that they procure a sledge
hammer in order to break off some OF
the choice specimens Of orc, the driver
was given the wink, and started up his
team, much to the disgust Of a bevy
of fair ones, who had not arrived ia
time to secure a fine specimen for the
cabinet Of minerals which each in
tends taking back from the Pacific
coast.

We learn from the Boston Journal
that Commissioner WELLS is about TO
issue a General Circular for the col
lection of business statistics. It will
be addressed in its inquiries both to
employers and employed, and will en-
brace just those questions relating to
wages and prices upon which it is all
important to have correct informa-
ton. The changes of the last lew
wears in these particulars have been
so great that previous statistics are OF
no value at all, except for purposes of
COMPARISON. The national census is
taken but once in ten years. and then
but partially covers this field of in
auiry, and has heretofore been taken
in a very imperfect and unreliable
way The people themselves must
supply the requisite information, if it
is to be obtained at all. IF it is with
held, wise and effective legislation be-
comes an impossibility. The modifi
cation Of the tariff, of the internal
revenue laws, and to a certain degree
legislation upon The currency and all
financial topics, depend upon the en-
lightenmeDt of Congress on the very
subjects comprised in Mr.. WELLS
circular 1t will be well worth the
while, therefore, Of every business
man who receives a copy of the circu-
lar to take little leisure time, and
note down the answers so far as he is
able It will be much better to leave
some questions unanswered than to re-
cord uncertain or random statements
for these points will be likely to be
covered by others who can speak with
accuracy. 1t will be desirable to have
as many answers as possible, but still
more to have them absolutely correct
so far as they go. Workingmen, II
particular, will see the opportunity
here afforded them for getting the
real facts Of their condition before
the government and the public We
hope the people generally will give
the Circular their prompt and careful
attention.

BURNING THE CUBAN CRoPs.-A
letter from Cuba gives the following
as the purpose of the Cubans in re-
gard to the destruction of the crops
by fire:
The revolutionary leaders have
plan in employing incendiarism
against their enemies. They have
not destroyed the sugar mills of the
island, as alleged, but have disabled
the machinery of a majority of them.
They allow the sugar-cane to grow,
but it will never be ground By either
Spaniards or Cubsns, except in dis
tricts where Cuban authority prepon-
derates, and they eau house the crop
after it is made into sugar When
the tobacco crop Of Vuelta Abaja
ripens, it IS to be burned just so far
as it is necessary to prevent its being
made a source of revenue for the
Spanish Government This is a blow
dreadful to contemplate, for though
it brings ruin to Spanish Golfers. it
brings individual ruin also. Let this
war continue, and Spain viii not OBJ
tain ten per cent. of her usual revenue
from Cuba. Millions and millions
of dollars worth Of green sugar-eaEe
covers vast regions of cane producing
lands, but unless the war soon ends
it will all go to waste, except such
parts of it as Cuban authority can
hold.

Major POwELL.-This gentleman.
concerning whose fate the world of
science and letters was long in sus-
pense, has been spending few days
in Salt Lake City, where he delivered
a lecture on Thursday, evening at
Bishop Woolley's church. His sub
ject was: " What | saw on the Colo
RADIO, which was quite interesting,
though the lecturer labored under
the difficulty of making a rapid selec-
ton from such a mass of facts as he
had evidently collected A painful
uncertainty rests upon the fate of
three men connected with the ex-
petition. They declined to attempt
the passage of the large rapids towards
the latter port of the trip, and started
to make the journey of nearly hun
dred and fifty miles overland. The
Major states that he has not yet heard
from them, but within few days a
report has reached the city of three
men having been killed by the In
dams on that route. He fears that
his former companions were the vic
tins. Immediately on the conclusion
of the lecture the Major took the
stage for the East Utah Reporter,
18th.
