soldiers monument at Lancaster, in

reunion of the surviving soldiers OF
the late war resident in Grant and
adjoining counties be had at Platte

and is making the necessary arrange
ments to provide for the attendance
and entertainment of a great number
of the war veterans. The following
circular has been issued:

POMONA GRANGE RESOLUTION
The following resolution was adopted
by the Grant County Pomona Grange
on the 4th inst:
Whereas The County of Grant is largely
laboring and agricultural in population and
whereas, the Grant County HERALD is the
leading journal published and read by the
masses of the people; and believing that a
portion of the columns of a public journal
should be devoted to the occupancy and
interest of people supporting it; therefore,
resolved. that we solicit of Mr.. John Cover,
editor of the Grant County HERALD, the free
use and occupancy of at least two columns of
his paper, to be known as LABOR COLUMNS"
and to be dev oted to labor's interest, under
the Joint supervision Of Mr.. Cover and the
Secretary of the Grant County Pomona
Grange. JAS. PREDEAUX,
MICHAEL HoPE, Master.
Secretary.
We viii be pleased to cooperate
with the Pomona Grange of Grant
County in the publication of
articles of the kind above referred to.
The HERALD, as heretofore, opens its
columns for the public use, and in
vites correspondence upon any sub
ieot of general interest, or of particu-
lar interest to the laboring classes.
Arrangements viii soon be made to
devote particular portion of each
weeks issue to the discussion Of
agricultural and labor topics.

TIE ScHooL.-From an article in
the American Journal of Education
we take the following: Parrot teach
ing is a most baneful educational mis-
take, and is alarmingly prevalent Ia
schools of every grade. Bright pupils,
who glibly answer all questions IN the
language of the book, are the pride OF
superficial teachers and thoughtless
parents. It is not strange that such
pupils are seldom heard of after they
leave school. They are mere human
narrots, weighed down by a vicious
method that prevents all true develop
ment.
True teaching gives independence
Give me the pupil that delves, auC
who will not rest till he has graspec
the meaning, who expresses in his owl
crude language his ideas. Such plo3d
ders become the men and women wht
move the world. True teaching traini
pupils TO such habits of study and re
citation. Not mere words, but thought
are stored. Memory becomes vigorous
because nationally used.
