How to Teach Political Economy
In the Lyceum Institute.

Political Economy is one Of the most import
ant branches Of study, because it covers ths
most practical relations Of life. How to obtain
subsistence for the body and the means of COM
fort for the household is the first question thai
concerns the mass of men, and ought to be the
first question with every young person. No ons
ought to consider his father rich enough to
raise him above the necessity Of applying the
first efforts Of his early manhood to the purpose
Of obtaining living.
The Lyceum method can be fully understood
by single illustration. Suppose We arc en-
tering upon the topic Of Labor as an element Of
production. The Professor gives lecture
chiefly for the purpose Of showing the class
how to investigate it for themselves He then
assigns the leading authors to the members OF
the class; to one, Adam Smiths Wealth OF
Nations, to another, Says W ork, to another, Sis
mondi, to fourth, Senator Tracey, to fifth
j. s. Mills Work, to sixth, Thornton on La
bor, to a seventh, Carey, to the eighth, List, to
the ninth, the Work by Horace Greeley, and
so on through the whole class Probably three
days should be given to preparation for tho
recitation. Each one is required to condense
into as brief a compass as possible the most
important views and facts given by his author,
and deliver his synopsis either orally or from
manuscript to the class. Three days are given
to the preparation, and the recitation occupies
half day; the same topic to be continued un-
til thoroughly mastered by the class. Most Of
all, the students are urged to have opinions OF
their own.
So, also, when the subject Of Money and
Banking comes up, it is investigated in the
same way. The authors are distributed to tho
class, and all views that have been urged arc
brought under consideration. The professor
introduces it with a lecture in which he ex-
plains the function Of money, the different
kinds of money, such as metallic, mixed and
paper, the nature Of banking, the experience
of nations with the different currencies, &C.,
thus enabling the students to search the au
thors to the best advantage. After three dayS
preparation, with several other studies ON
hand, and half days recitation, the class Will
find all the fog that hangs between the subject
and the vision of the people dispelled, and the
comfort Of lifetime of intelligence on this
subject, so dark to nearly all the people, is So
cured.
So of every other topic in this science. In
addition, it is seen that the students have
practical composition, oral speech, grammar,
rhetoric, independent thought and free discus
sion while learning Political Economy.
The superiority of the Lyceum Method la.
therefore, clear. enough. The. wonder is that it
has not, long since, been generally adopted

sons, an inherent predisposition to typhoid
fever. They instance tho attack under
which Prince Leopold suffered last spring,
the sickness of the Prince of Wales at
Sandriugham, and the death of the Prince
Consort, as a proof that typhoid is quite a
family disease in the Royal House of Eng
land. The Lancet attributes typhoid, in
frequent cases, to high living and great
intestinal activity. Typhus is disease Of

EFFECT OF DAMP Am ON C,AL.-M
Varrenstrass finds by recently conducted
experiments on this subject, that the loss
in weight, due to slow oxidation and to
the diseugagement of gases which form the
richest part Of the coal, may equal one
third of the original weight. The heating
power in such coal was lowered to AZ per
cent Of its former capacity. The same
coal exposed to the air, but in closed
receptacle, did not lose more than 25 per
cent Of gas and 10 per cent of heating
power. Bin,minous Goals alter most
rapidly.
This shows the disadvantage of damp
cellars, and Of leaving coal uncovered for
long periods and subject TO bad weather.
Judging from the large loss incurred, it
would seem much the better economy to
provide suitable receptacles for the fuel,
the saving in tho latter being sufficient to
compensate for the extra expense.--lScisn-

From my uncles, Colonel Israel Putnam

following statement, namely, "that at the
commencement of the war of the Ameri-

property Of Major Pitcairn, of the British
army; that on his retreat from Concord
and Lexington, to Boston, on the 10th Of
April, l775, his horse was shot under him.
and fell near party Of pursuing Ameri-

that his pursuers stript the horse Of bis

part; and brought them into the American
camp, and few days after, on his arrival
at camp, they were presented to General
Putnam, who carried them through the
residue Of his active service in said war !"

year 1927, spent short season at Lex
