rrsuton,s PUBLIC snirlt.

We learn that the Trustees Of Andrew
College, at Trenton, have offered to donate
their buildings and grounds to the State
Board Of Education for a Normal School.
Trenton is accessible by railroads from all
parts Of tho country. Its citizens are anx-
ious for a high seat of learning, and will
do ali they can to foster its interests. The
Normal School idea has taken strong hold
upon u people. There is no doubt that
by next autumn the Board will be able to
open at least two.

Half Hour ReereadOns in Popular

No. Il Of this popular series published
by Estes & LauriaL, Of Boston, is a brochure
on "The Glacial Period of Our Globe" by
Alexander Braun; price % cents. The Sc
Ties have so interested the public and dis
played such merit as to stand apparently On
a firm foundation, being an educational in
stitUtion. Probably no recreation is more
agreeable to the thoughtful mind than read
ing about natural phenomena, the truth of
which is not doubted, and the explanation
of which is clear and satisfactory. No one
doubts the existence Of apparently bound
less masses Of clay, sand, gravel, stones and
huge rocks, fOTtLey abound over continents
and islands in both hemispheres. But
what ground mountain masses of granite,
syeniJe, lime and sandstone into powder?
Science says glaciers, or mountains of
moving ice, did it. Ice from one 10 several
thousand feet in thickness, moving down
the sides of mountains like the Alps, An
des and Others, and over plains, at an epoch
when the annual fall of rain and snow was
probably much greater than at present, and
the winters were longer and colder, would
form what are called diluvial deposits very
rapidly. MIR. Braun makes his treatment
Of this interesting subject quite plain to
the Uuscicntifc reader, discussing it in
s~eventy-twO pages. All know that the
freezing and thawing Of water involves the
expansion and contraction Of its volume,
and, consequently, motion, with prOdigiOUs
force. Rocks of any weight are moved in
much larger masses of moving ice and to
great distances. The dynamics Of glaciers
are a curious study.

AN IOWA METEOR.
Iowa City Republican.

The efforts Of Prof. Leonard to obtain
possession Of the fragments of the great
meteor Of Feb. II, have been crowned with
very fattering success. The portions found
aggregate about l25 pounds, Of which he
has secured over 100. They fell in Iowa
TOWNSHIP, Iowa county, Iowa. The meteor
does not appear to have consisted Of a
single body, but Of twenty or more separate
bodies grouped around a central mass,
whose weight was forty or fifty pounCs.
The pieces were scattered over a region
about four miles long by n and three
quarter miles in breadth. Doubtless other
pieces will yet be found, and it is thought
possible, but not probable, that a still larger
piece than a%nyfOund may yet be discovered.

finished. Al the proper time the guests
were invited into the dining room and
shown long rows Of tables, with choice

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 31.-The con
Guiding sessions Of the State Teach
ers' Association to-day were of rare
interest to education. Professor Rob
erts, of the City High School. but
formerly of GaIesburg, ILL.,, submitted
an address on Higher Education"
No man or institution is under any
obligation, either of duty or interest.
10 put the weapons of knowledge into
the hands of the vicious, nor to waste
energy in trying to give to Eastwood
stick the polish Of mahogany. Higher
education belongs of right only to
such as have the intelligence and abil-
ity to acquire it, ambition to strive for
it. and nobility to use the power it
confers for the good of the race. Per-
haps no more perfect compendium of
universal knowledge can anywhere be
found than is contained in a single
number OF a great newspaper No
man is thoroughly we'll educated who
cannot read with a good degree of in
telligent comprehension every article
in such a paper, from the heavy leader
down to the most insignificant legiti-
mate advertisement.
The discussion on the paper called
out President Angel and others. who
all argued that it was the duty OF the
State to provide higher education free
to all those who wish. fsa sH
The only other paper Of especial in
terest was the one on Compulsory
Education" ty Mr. III. A. Ford. edi-

in favor of such law it was an elab-

The Nation, which enjoys the ines
Unable advantage of being edited in
heaven. is very severe in its denunci-
alton Of the pending currency bill.
The fact that the bill is meeting with
violent opposition from extreme hard
money papers like The Nation and
from extreme imitation papers like
The Cincinnati Enquirer, is pretty
good evidence of its intrinsic merits
as a compromise measure. The main
objection OF one class of papers is that
the bill does not provide for a con
traction of the currency, and that re-
sumption is impossible without con-
traction, while the other class assert
that it aims to enforce resumption
through gradual contraction and at
the risk of universal ruin The Ma
ton styles the bill a delusion and a
snare because it proposes resumption
in four years, and The Enquirer de-
nOunces it as fraud because it names
so early day. 1t seems to be case
for the adage I'm medic tutissimus
ibis
The fact is, the bill, If passed, will
neither contract or initiate the curren-
cy to any appreciate extent. 1t is
not framed as a measure of expansion
or contraction, but as one to provide
for the resumption of specie payments.
Four years of business prosperity and
of steady growth in population will be
equivalent to considerable contrac
ton of the currency Added to this
will be the positive pledge to resume
four years hence, and the consequent
interest of every person connected
with that pledge to make it good
Once let that policy be adopted and
the country's face be set toward re-
and not even the Democrat
lie party will dare attempt to thwart
its purpose or throw any obstacle in
the way. The currency does not need
either contraction or expansion per Sc
it needs to be placed on a solid foun;
dation by being brought to par with
gold, and that is the expressed pur-
pose of the pending bill.

ing opposed to the genius of the
American system, and one that could
never be made live question in this
country. The speaker also presented
numerous quotations against the pru
dence of such a law, claiming that it
was a dead letter wherever it existed
and would prove so in Indiana.
A lively debate ensued and an at
tempt was made to pass series of
resolutions in favor OF compulsory
law; but though the feeling of the
meeting was evidently against the pa
per, the resolutions We're referred to
the standing committee for revision.
A plan was presented aud adopted
for the erection of monument to the
late Superintendent Hopkins. Each
teacher is to be allowed to contribute
81, but no more; and county superln-
tendents are made agents tor the col
lection oe funds, and forwarding them
to the State Board of Education,
which body is empowered TO expend
them for such memorial as it may
think best. Professors Brown and
Bell, o. this city, and Benford, OF

mittee.
