Individual instruction,

FOR BOTH SEXES.

The success of this method wherever
pursued has fully demonstrated its supe-
rior advantages. The plan is universally
approved by intelligent we'll educated
business men, many of whom have long
deplored the artificial arbitrary system
which has been forced upon so many
schools. Each pupil is put upon an in
dependent standing and the quickest in.
tellects often complete the course OF stu
dy in half the average time.
While suitable for all students this
school is specially adapted:
lst For unusually rabjd learners, for
whom the average rate Of class progress
is too slow, involving waste of time, tai
ents and money.
I'd. For those who wish to take only
certain studies.
3D.. For normal instruction and partic-
ularly for those who wish to review before
passing examination for teacher certifi-
Gates.

branches.
9Th. For szo7v learners who are often
discouraged, or driven from school by
vain attempts to keep up with classes.
K
superior students.
9Th. For bubilS in POOR heath who are
often necessarily irregular in attendance
and are hence for two reasons unable to
keep pace with a class of healthy pupils
Special advantages Of this School:
lst. Each learner takes only such stu
dies as he or his friends select, whether
one or more; advances according to his
own talent and application, without any
kind of hindrance from classmates; and,
as soon as one study IS completed is passed
into another without waiting for others.
| If, for sickness or other cause, his studies
are interrupted, he resumes where he
left off, instead of skipping over lessons
unlearned in order to keep up with the
| class"
I'd. Teachers, instead of spending their
whole time in clearing recitations" Zen
quiring what pupils have learned of them
SelUes, or, at the cost Of the time of the
7vhole class, making explanation only
needed by the idle or stupid few spend
far the greater part of their time in teach-
1ng-passing from desk to desk to help
wherever needed - without taking the
time Of others, thus saving the students
| time in the best hours Of the day. The
direct mental contact Of teacher and student
in individual teaching makes explanations
easy and inspiring and what is more i'm
portant, i;results in teaching the pupil how
to study.
Sd. Whenever the class method can be
employed to advantage it will be resorted
to.
Persons intending to avail themselves
of the advantages of this school are re-
quested to communicate with the Princi-
pal as soon as possible, stating the course
OF study they intend to pursue, in order
that necessary arrangements may be
made. Quite number of educators stand
ready to assist in the work, feeling assur-
ed of its permanent success in this field
Board or rooms will be procured at
reasonable rates, and further particulars

Abusing POstmasters.

While we approve OF the orders OF the
President for the withdrawal of the officers
of the general government from the man
agement of caucusses aud elections, we do
not find it necessary nor think it fair to fall
to abusing postmasers so reckleSsly as the
Sentinel has done. 1t is Undoubtedly true
that without the co operation and active
lat or of the postmasters in the last cam
paign Mr. Hayes could not have carried
Wisconsin, to say nothing of other states.
And if the Republican party had lost Wis
consin there would now be no Republican
postmasters for the Sentinel or any other pa
per to abuse-the offices would all be filed
with extreme Democrats. Looking at the
matter in this light, we think it is about
time to let some Of the postmasters alone
at all events, till some of them clearly dis
obey the order of the government IFis-
eonsin
There is great deal Of good sense
in the foregoing, and it will strike the
general reader as being fair and just
towards the postmasters and other
officials whom the Sentinel is constant
ly abusing. OF course the Sentinel
will continue its fusilade against the
oficeholders, and persist in making a
fool of itself, as It has perfect right
to do. Precisely what it expects to
accomplish in SO doing, however. is not
clear. 1t may, perhaps, think it is
adding to its usefulness and influence
as Republican paper, and, possibly,
it believes that it is strengthening the
party by abusing without cause a por-
tion Of its prominent and active mem
bers; but this We must be permitted to
doubt.
We quite agree with the Wisconsin,
that it is better to let the postmasters
alone unsil they have committed some
ofense. Abusing them On general
principles, as if they are political out
laws, is neither juicious nor wise. But
for their efforts last fall in this state,
Wisconsin would have gone for Tilden;
and two years ago, had it not been for
their activity and management,
Democratic Governor would have been
elected instead of Ludington. Indeed,
postmasters have been Of considerable
service, and saved the party from de-
feat in other campaigns; and on the
whole it does not appear to be exactly
the thing to now pay them off in kicks
and cuffs. That the Wisconsin should
be of this opinion does not surprise US;
but that the Sentinel will ever be frank
enough to make such admission, is too
much for any one familiar with its
prejudices and want of fairness to
expect.

The Sentinel and the POstmasters.
WATERFOWL, Aug. 6, TT.

WATERFOWL, Aug. 6, IT..
Editor Watertoaon Republican:
The Milwaukee Ssnttnel appears to
take such delight in its abuse of post
masters that it seems cruel to do any,
thing to disturb it in the enjoyment of
that privilege. [ beg you, therefore,
to insert this in some obscure corner Of
your paper, where 1t will be likely to
escape the observation of the Sentinel,
lest the information here given-whlch
is intended for others-may be con-
veyed to it and thus cut off one of its
chief sources of amusement.
The SentineTs grievance is that the
postmasters belonging to the Republi-
can State Central Committee have not
complied with it's demand to resign
their positions, and have signed the
call tor State Convention. The facts,
so far as | am concerned, are as tol-
lows: On the 9th Of June [ for
warded my resignation to the Chairman
of the Committee named, from whom [
received an answer on the 9Th of July,
informing me that my resignation
could only be acted upon by the full
Committee, who alone had power to
accept it and ill the vacancy. He
also inclosed copy of a letter re-
ceived by him from the Postmaster
General, referring to the action which
the members of the Committee who
are office holders might properly take
concerning the Conven ton, in which
he said that in his "opinion, by merely
providing for the meeting of the Con-
vention and calling if to order, the
mittee would not be violating the spirit
| of the Presidents order recurring
federal officials to abstain from any
participation in politics. There hav-
ing been no meeting of the Committee
to act upon my resignation rendered as
above, and the Postmaster General
having decided that there was no OBJ
lection to government officials signing
the call spoken of, [ do not see that
the Sentinel has any ground for com
plant. That | made an earnest en-
deavor to resign my position on the
Committee is plain enough. That
there has not been and cannot be the
slightest duty for the Committee to
perform, except to provide for holding
the State Convention, is equally clear !;
the active work of the campaign de-
volving upon the committee to be
chosen when this coming Convention
meets in September. Now, as the
mere appendage Of ones name to call
for a convention is Of trifing import
ance, and as We have the authority of
the Postmaster General that it is not
In contravention Of the President S
order, cannot see why the Sentinel
should be so exceedingly unhappy.
Can you? Yours, &c,
j. T. MOAK.

THE Democratic State Convention
has been called to meet at Fond du
Lac, Sept. 10Th. The Committee met
in Milwaukee last week to fix the time
and place. Hon. W. M. Dennis was
present and urged strongly the claims
of Watertown, but the committee de-
cided adversely. The arguments in
favor of our city are numerous and
weighty, but the Committee probably
thought Watertown would roll up her
regular 700 Democratic majority any
way, and that more could be made by
throwing sop to some other locality.
Perhaps, now that we didn's. get the
Convention here, they may give JEFF
fsrson county the candidate for Cover
nor in the person Of W. w. Reed.

The New York Tribune has heard
of the absurd claim put forth by some
verdant Democrat that the Republicans
will not carry Wisconsin this fall, and
comments thereon as follows:
That is familiar cry which the
Democrats are putting out about Wis
consin-that they will carry it this fall
1t would be most. unusual thing if
they did not claim it, since they have
done so every summer for years. The
division of labor is equal and satisfae-
tory. The Democrats clain it and the
Republicans carry it.

GABE BoUCK is said to be anxious
for the Democratic nomination for
governor. He wants to fill the same
position in this state that his father
occupied in New York. He may be able
to obtain the nomination, but hewill find
it quite different matter to secure an
election. The Republican convention,
on the 18th Of Sept, will name the
successful candidate this year.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Chicago Journal writes to that
paper that Democratic candidates for
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives are rapidly multiplying. Ia the
list now are Randall. Cox, Morrison,
Sayler, Black burn, Reagan, Buckner
and number Of others Of less promi
snence. The probabilities now are that
the Democrats of the House will in
caucus nominate either Randall or
Morrison, and that their nominee will be
elected, and, further, that the Democ-
racy willcontrol the entire organization
of the House. But while the proba-
bilities are as stated, there is a posi-
bility that enough Of members elected
as Democrats, who are in large de-
gree non partisan, will refuse to take
part with the Democratic caucus, or be
governed by its action, and unite with
the Republicans, and by such union
secure the election Of either Banks or
Foster. In the event of the failure
of the Democracy to elect their caucus
nominee, the chances are decidedly in
favor Of Banks, who occupies more
of non-partisan, independent position
than Foster.

The Legitimate Fruits.

The "policy adopted by the last Con-
gress of refusing appropriations to
continue public improvements, and re-
fusing an appropriation to maintain the
army, says the State Register, is
bearing Legitimate fruits. Thousands of
laborers have been thrown out of en-
ployment when the government needed
their work, and at a time when a wise
policy would have dictated the prose
cutlon of new-needed public improve
ments, instead Of suspending work on
those already commenced. The labor
ers thus discharged have been added
to the army of idle workingmen, thus
increasing the distress already existing.
The discomfort thus necessarily pro-
duced has eliminated in what might be
called a national riot; bat the nation
is almost at the mercy of the mob, for
its statesmen of the Holman order,
have cut down the army to handful
of men, and even those we have are
being subsisted on tick-Congress
having failed to make any appropriation
for their maintenance. "Statesman-
ship" was conspicuous for it's absence
in the last Congress.
A GENEROUS DEED. The Presi-
dent of the New York Central Railroad,
William H Vanderbilt, has directed
that 100000 be divided pro rata and
paid to the 1850 employees of the road
who remained loyal to it and refused to
participate in the recent strike. The
500 malcontents who were not satisfied
| to remain with the rest now find them
selves out of job, and Mr.. Vanderbilt
says shall nevel be employed by the
company again. He promises that
there shall be an advance in the mems
wages as soon as the business of the
road will justify it. From the com,
mencement to the end of the labor diff
culties, Mr.. Vanderbilt's action has
been characterized by fairness and a
just appreciation of the situation which
shows him to be very capable business
man and considerable employer.
