Ask any of the common people what bene.
fit is received from the s,uiy of Grammar,
dates in History etc. or Geography. Are
they all ignoran. men? Descriptive Geog'
raphy is especially unproductive, also
Algebra, although one of the best studies,
it is foolish to Introduce it into country
schools. They, the pupils, should be
taught knowledge of objects around, not
however, as science; facts in regard to
man and nature. Those branches which
are necessary to communicate knowledge
of things around should be taught. A book
of thirty pages would cover all that is
necessary to know in regard to the human
body. A little Instruction ia Political
Geography and History. They need not
know all the miuutiae of law-makipg, and
to be an intelligent voter one does not
need to learn more than one fifth of the
Constitution. Much of Arithmetic is of
no value, and only the necessary parts
should be taught. Much more that was
good was said on the subject, which We
are unable 20 get in proper form from the
notes taken.
Some remarks were made in regard to
the election of officers, but, as the Consti
tuition had mysteriously disappeared, no
one knew the time for change in the
administration.
A vote of thanks was rendered to Mr..
Hosea Barns for the able manner in which
he had cond ucted the educational column.
A con mittee of three; viz, Messrs
Barns, Kirwan and Walker, were appointed
TO secpre an editor for the column, during
the coming year.
The reading of the minutes was dis
pensed with and each member of the as
ISOLATION was to consider himself com,
mittee of one to read them when they
appeared in the county papers.

Owing to tie moist state of the atmos-
phere, much smaller audience than was
anticipated gathered in the Assembly
Room of the Second Ward school house
at the time appointed for the opening ex-
nearly time for the lecture, motion was
made and seconded, to the effect that mat
ters of business be postponed until the
following day.
The vote in the affirmative being uran-
imous, the lecturer was introduced to the
audience by the President of the Associa-
ton.
The highest compliment we can offer
the speaker is with regard to lis happy
faculty oe attracting and holding the atten-
ton and sympathy of his entire audience
The lecture abounded in pleasantries, fine
thoughts, choice language, and beautiful
figures.
How can we desire to be otherwise when
ignorance is such bliss?
Meeting adjourned to meet at o'clock
A. NJ, Saturday, June II.
Outside the weather is very Cnpropitious
The number of teachers limited. All of
these, however, whose names appear on
the programme are present, which argues
favorably for the success of the meeting.
The President made some remarks rela
tive to finances, and the probabilities that
many of the county teachers were detained
on accourt of bad weather. lie also sugr
gested, in order to occupy deficiencies in
tie programme, several subjects for dis

be taught IN country schools &c. The
conductor of the educational column, who
is just about to step down and divest kirl
self of editorial honors, expressed himself
briefly With regard to his past duties, and
ihe lack Of assistance he has received, even
after urgent appeals to those who pretend
to be interested In educational matters.
There was one exceptional case, our pres

Barns suggested the advisability of coutin-
uing the column, and that, if properly
conducted it could be made a power for
good in Nanitowoc County.
Miss Bacon read well written paper,
and we would fain have tarried forever in
the idealstic world she so gracefully pic
tured, and not in the one which il so real
and SO full of unsatisfactory results. The
paper occasioned quite lengthy discuss
ion.
Mr.. kirw" spoke of the lack of text
books containing valuable information for
teachers, that this lack is not observable
IN any other profession; that il two thirds
of the discussions In modern text books
were omitted, they would be of more bene-
fit to teachers. He also suggested that
teachers should encourage pupils 10 asking
proper questions, aad not resort TO ''snub-
b'ng when questions are put which the
teacher cannot answer without considering
or reviewing the matter himself.
Mr. Barns spoke of the resolutions in
variably made by teachers fer each ex-
animation, that they will have better GER
tifcates the next time. He advocated
strongly analytical reading as a means of
enabling teachers to possess themselves of
facts in science, history, etc, which ill be

! PHILADELPHIA, June 2S.-The of
/ fetal trials of moving machines in con-
Aection with the Centennial have been
taking place at Eddington, station
some fifteen miles from here, during the
past two days. The tests have been
made under control of the Jury, of
which Mr.. Coleman, the British Com
missioner, is the head A large number
of the prominent moving machines of
American manufacture have been allow
ed to give practical exercise of their ca
pacity and powers. The tests proved
quite severe in several respects The
Jury ordered a heavy roller to be drawn
0 er the grass, and the owners of the
various machines were invited, one at
/ time. to follow the roller and show their
ability at cutting hattened grass. To
render the tests still more trying, heavy
rain, storms have come up each day, wet
/ ting the grass and making it peculiarly
hard to cut, especially when rolled
/ One machine, however, triumphed over
every obstacle of man and the clements.
This was the famous Champion, made
at Springfield, O. The adaptability of
the Champion machines for all kinds of
work, their light draft, and all their 9TH
er many excellences, showed to brilliant
advantage. The trials have been wit
messed by journalists, practical agricul-
tural artisans, and understanding men
of many nationalities, ami the united
verdict is that the Champion machines
have sustained all their old reputation,
besides adding new honors to the already
liberal share btained by them in the
past.

related where men have taken out from

1t Stopped the Cough and Saved the
Child

We have recently had occasion to try the
virtue of ila!es Cough Cordial in our family
A little son, sick with the prevailing fever
was afflicted with most distressing cough
which gave him ID rest, night or day. We
have little faith with Patent medicines. and
seldom much as try them; but something
had to be done, as the onstant cough pre-.
vented his recovery. We accordingly pro-
cured a bottle of the Cordial from the Agent.
and commenced it's use according to drec,
tons. The effect was marked from the verv
iirst, and the child that night enioyed a
refreshing sleep ;and by the next night there
was scarce vestige Of the cough left. II
