state, degree Of naturalness may be looked
for in reading and recitation, favorable to
elocution. Children should be TAUGHT to
read as they talk. There is no lack OF
emphasis accent or punctuation In the
play-room The same ease and freedom
barring the noise-in the reciiation-rooia
is what's desirable IN both scholars and
teachers.
RecitatioRs should be held IN pleas
ant conversational siyle. end thus be made
interesting 10 the whole csass. A versatile
and competent teacher can easily invest
necitations with Is much interest for his
classsa Is doesth De popular lecturer orpfstor
his subject Tor his audiences. Sounds Of
letters accentuation, etc, as wei as pune
tuation, are now governed more by the
sense than BY signs and these are iegiti-
msle matters for instruction and explanation
BY teachers. Pronunciation is coming to
be 50 much crsatnre Of fashion Is 70
change nearly as often, and with many
words seems wholly At the mercy Of the
popular speaker Of the hour.
It Is ridiculous 70 set pupils to the study
Of grammar, geography. history and math-
enatics before they comprehend the signif-
canoe Of the words Ia which those studies
are cOuched. But this is done daily and
yearly in almost al ofour schools. Nothing
is more common than for child Of twelve
or fourteen years Of age to ask 70 have a
problem stated for him upon his slate, sim
ply because he does not comprehend the
language by which it is stated in the book.
This should not be. One year Of familiar
consultation with dictionary or compen-
dium would prevent all this difficulty
Similar illustrations might be made of the
other branches mentioned. How. for in
stance, can 4 student be expected to parse
q sentence correctly, the meaning Of which
he cannot comprehend I tits simply inn
possible. The correct method of teaching
then, is the thorough one Accurate com
prehension Of what is scquired. though it
be ever so little, and upon single subject,
rather than a large smattering Of many
studies mixed together in the mind of the
pupil, Heterogeneous mass, IS what is
needed. 1issroit Is 8tosgd a.s 3 81.
The same theory and rules apply with,
like force to the teaching Of music and
languages. 1t is idle to think of teaching
these branches scientifically by the employ.
nent of one teacher for each two or three
thousand pupils. The attempt only re-
suits in vast expense for books and the
implanting Of errors through the ear
which must all be unlearned before the ac-
QUESTION of science Is commenced. Sue
cess in either Of these branches can only be
attained by close application under the eye
and explanations Of the teacher, combined
with constant practice. And thea they can
only be retained in the memory and made
effective by continuous application. Conse-
quently all the money expended in the
pretended teaching Of these branches in
our public schools is worse than thrown
away. 80

The erudiie statesmen who do the
legal arguments for the press Of the cOun-
Try are just now engaged in discussing the
position Of the President in regard to the
New Orleans riots and the overthrow Of
fle recognized Stale government in Lou
isiaHa. As might be expected they do not
agree with each other and not a few novel
ideas Of governmental policy and Constitu-
tional law have been advanced by them.
But the plain and saocinct statement Of
Attorney General Williams which we
printed Yesterday, has already been ar
eepied By The shoughtful people Of the
counsry as Q sniicieni explanation 81 the

OK OUR third page this morning win be
found an able speech delivered a few days
ago by Secretary Robson, at New Bruins
wick. New Jersey, at a meeting to ratify
the Republican State nominations. Those
who affect to believe that the mission Of
the Republican party is ended, ''that il
should abandon its organization and leave
'its duty to those who profess opposite and
"antagonistic ideas as the Secretary states
it. cannot fail to be convinced of the error
Of such belief We invite careful read
