OUR EDUCATIONAL CREED.

OUR EDUCATIONAL CREED.
We believe in that system of edu-
cation hat will prepare the rising
generation the most thoroughly to
discharge the duties of American
citizenship.
We believe that it is the duty of
the State to provide for the educa-
ton of her children irrespective of
sex, color, race or condition.
We believe that the broad funda-
mental truths of morality and correct
living, as set forth in the Bible, are
the foundation of all true education.
We believe that the profession of
teaching is second to none in point
of honor and influence, and therefore
the world has right to demand of
It's members the highest possible
qualifications.
We believe that educated labor
deserves as great compensation in
our profession as In any other, and
that cheap teacher is the synonym
of a poor teacher. We believe that
women are by nature as well quail
fed to be teachers as men, and that
when they do equal work they should
have equal pay.
We believe that the teacher who
is Influenced by no higher consider
alton than tho salary paid, is unwor-
thy of his calling.
We believe that it is the duty Of
every teacher to attend Teachers
Institutes, read school jodrnaIs, etc.
and thus keep up with the times il
regard to the best methods of schoo
management.
We believe in that true manhood
that will canse man to have decided
views Of his own, and will enable
him to maintain those views in al
meekpess though the whole worlc
oppose him.

SOMETHING WORSE THAN A
BLUNDER.

There is no end to the fallacies cur
! rent IN the schools One of the most
absurd and mischievous touches the
pupils understanding of things.
Teachers. with certain notion of beino
especially scientific and thorough in
their teaching, adopt the rule that the
pupil must be made to understand
everything; in fact, he ought to be
made to understand thing before he is
bouRd to learn it. Not what to know:
not how to apply it; but why is it, Is the
''chlef end" Of the learner. He exists
under the dispensation of the e0srzaatSno
Why.
The evil tendencies of this notion are
evident. Is not faith as vital neces-
sity as philosophical insight? Has re-
spect for authority no worth, as compar-
ed With skeptical inquisitiveness Are
no results valid or useful, except as the
pupil reaches them through sde noyo'

CENTENARIANS IN NEW YORK
STATE.

~ i A L A<s
The total number of persons of
100 years Of age and upwards, living
in New York State, as shown by
the census taken in June last, is 100
of whom forty.one are males and
sixty-eight females. The Oldest
person on the list is Sarah Hicks,
of Brooklyn who is ia. Twenty-nine
Of the centenarians live in New York
city and seven in Brooklyn. Forty
of the 100 were born In Ireland, six
in Canada, two in the West Indies,
one each in Scotland, Spain and at
sea, while thirty-five are natives of
the United States, and the birth
place Of twenty remains unrecosded.
There are twelve colored persons and
two Indians in the list. IF tsle
managers Of the Centennial Exposi-
ton should erect building to com
fortably accommodate ali the persons
living in the United States on the
4th Of July, 1875, who were born
IN the colonies prior to the Declara-
ton of Independence, good-sized

processes Are not forward steps
from accepted principles as i'm
portant, both for knowledge and
discipline, as any taken in the
fear Shall we count the memory g
fool. that we may make the understand
ing churlish egotist? Is the we'll
memorized ''form of sound words no
hep TO the study of their meaning? Are
teachers capable of explaining every
Itning without "darkening counsel by
words without knowiedge?" Does true
science reveal everything as explicable?
Yet all this is substantially assumed
under such principle in teaching.
The truth is neither in this extreme,
nor any more IN its opposite, that of
giving reasons for nothing, but only
demanding that it be learned 0senaorSteg
and be applied mechanically, lies the
proper method. A just combination of
the formal with the philosophical is
natural; it is inevitable; and that, too. IN
a fixed order. The memory and under
standing must be cooperative. and that
under peculiar mode of action and re-
action. Faith and insight must both go
with us, one on either side. each having
its own work of guidance and aid, and
neither trenching upon the province Of
the other. The general method is both
alternate and oscillaterY. First faith
then, where philosophy is practicable
insight; first memory, then, if the field
be really accessible, the understanding
! first the fact or form, then, if they may
be lawfully attempted, the reason OF
explanation. And each round has to be
repeated, only each succeeding repetl-
ton on a higher stage or level.
| Hence, the teacher should understand
that even when things admit of explana,
ton. certain preparatory knowledge OF
purely formal character is necessary t.
the pupils grasp ard comprehension O
the explanation. Standing upon that al
. platform, he may be able TO sieze upon
: the philosophy of the thing set forth
i having grasDed the philosophy, he be
comes able to discover more clearly The
true character of the platform itself
His course is then, first to learn the
truth in form by sheer acquisition; ther
to work himself into its thorough com
prehension. Basing himself upon bott
the acquired and the comprehended; ht
ropeats the process in the pursuit Of the
next order Of truth as higher OF more
advanced. Again he accepts N faith
and masters in the memory; then he
Esubjects to scrutiny, and masters in the
understanding. And thus perpetually
to finite mind, must the form and the
philosophy be interviewer, the first serv-
ing as the warp, upon which the second
MAJ be more or less overshot according
to the nature of the truth, or the power
of the Intellect, but never so much as tc
wholly conceal'the other, or make it un.
necessary.-Nes0 England Journal 81

however, expressed the opinion that
the progress made during the past
fifteen years in educasion, did not
correspond in this country, with the
national development of our material
resources. The energy evoked in
the struggle for national existence,
and the social forces now in opera

this Academy, desire to advance the

sitter stating briefly the object Of the
Academy AID its founders he said
that the forty desks of the Academic
department were all taken, that
about twenty more were needed to
accommodate those who have already
applied for admission, and that
another room would soon be provid-

school thus be doubled.

blowing snow? Yet we are told by
gentleman from the vicinity Of

Monday last, and that the plow ran
very well. Only one week before
the weather was more suited to the
season in Labrador or Greenland

The Past and Future.

One year has expired since we
purchased the GRANGE ADVANCE
office, and, with feelings of sincere
gratitude to Divine Providence and
our kind patrons, we are happy to
say that it has been one OF the most
pleasant years of Our life. The bust
hess of the Office has prospered be-
yond our expectations, and we be-
lieve that we have been able to do
considerable good. 1t is due to our
predecessor, Mr.. +. b. Herbert, to
say that we are largely indebted to
him for our success, and we here
make public acknowledgment of
his uniform kindness and generosity.
1t has been our constant aim to dis
cuss all questions presented to us
calmly and candidly, to sparing of
censure, to praise only what is truly
deserving, and to avoid offensive per-
5onal illusions and low abuse.
Whenever opportunity has offered
we have tried to promote the inter-
ests Of the Order of Patrons of Hus-
bandry; but, in doing this, have not
forgotten that the Patrons were,
also, citizens, and that whatever
tended to benefit the entire commu-
nifty was, likewise, advantageous to
them. Hence, we have labored
diligently to further the prosperity
Of the general public as we'll. Hav-
ing large county circulation and a
very considerable circulation in
Pierce county, Wis, we have advo-
Gated whatever improvements we
believed to be beneficial to the
people Of any and all parts of this
territory and, meanwhile, have not
forgotten that we owe obligations to
Red Wing and that it is our duty to
use our columns in its behalf, when
ever we could do so without detri-
ment to the interests of. other Sec
tons.
In the matter Of politics we have
endeavored to rise. above the pref
udices Of partizanism and examine
all questions nationally, and instead
Of making our paper the mere ad-
vocate of political aspirants, to con-
stitute it a reliable source of infor-
nation. In recommending candi-
dates to popular favor, we have not
represented them to be angels, nor
even saints,nor yet always good men,
for unfortunately for the country
those are not the sort that usually
run for Office. We have, however,
declared our convictions that their
elections would be more conducive
to the good of the country than the
elections of their competitors: OF
the State officers whom we support
I'd last year, not one word Of Gen.
sure has yet been uttered. MI.
Pillsbury seems to have made avery
excellent governor and to have prov
ed himself entirely competent to fill
the position, Notwithstanding all
that was said against him.
So much for the past. In the flu
ture we intend pursuing the same
course. We shall earnestly advo-
cate the election Of the republican!
candidates this fall, because we SIM
