DEFINITE AIMS I'M TEACHING.

One cause why pupils do not make
more rapid progress arises from the
fact that many teachers have no defn-
ate aim in their work. They drift
along from day to day, and week to
week without having any fixed pur-
pose in mind, or object which they
would attain in the use of the means
employed. This is a radical mistake.
In assigning stadies to the pupil, and
IN selecting the methods of presenting
these studies, the end determines the
means; that is aOh0t is to be done
determines bosO it is to be done. For
example: if the perceptive faculties
are to be cultivated botany, geography
drawing &C., must be studied; if the
logical faculties are to be developed
arithmetic, geometry or grammatical
analysis must not be neglected, and so
on throughout, the whole course.
always selecting those studies which
tend to productive harmonious develop
ment Of all the faculties, and to insure
an evenly balanced mind.
The same principle holds equally true
in teaching any particular branch. For
example: in arithmetic, If you wish
pupils simply to acquire facility in the
use OF numbers (and this is all that
should be required of younger pupils
the reasoning processes must be kept
in the back ground, and practice be
given the more prominent place; if on
the other hand, the time has arrived
when the logical faculties require train
ing, then the why and the wherefore of
every statement and of every process
must not be neglected. Every principle
and every rule must be Thoroughly
and drawn by a logical chain
OF reasoning from the work performed.
SO in English grammar, if you wish
the pupil to obtain merely a technical
knowledge Of the subject, you have but
to hold him to careful study of the
forms and uses in photography,
etymology and syn tax; if you wish to
develop the constructive power, the
ability to use language correctly, COM
position writing and the correction of
false syntax must be given prominent |
place; or if you desire to secure great
er logical acuteness and comprehension
grammatical analysis must be brought
into requisition. And thus it is in each
and every branch of study with more
D. less notifications Each has it's
place in the work of development. and
only as teachers recognize this, and act
accordingly will they be successful.
Every one must have some definite
alm In the work in which he is engao-
eel and then seek patiently and perse- +
Terlngly to accomplish his purpose ifi
lis work is to be of permanent value. |!

Detain boy after school, and tell
him pleasantly that you have some
thing to show him, but make him prom
use not to sag anything about 1t to any

would not like to join you. In this
way you can scarcely fail Of getting a
promise from seven-eighths of your

If there be one of whom you stand
in especial doubt, it has been found a
good plan to let some of the other boys

him by personal appeal. I put the
pledge into the hands Of two or three
of his friends, and asked them to get
his name if possible. At recess they
all came around him, and soon succeed

idea is to first get the movement popu-

Governor Packard has received the fol-
lowing letter from the father of William
Henry Weldon, who so lately attempted
his life:
PHILADELPHIA, March 10, 1877.
His Excellency, Governor S. B, Packard, New Or
leans;
The undersigned, sensible of the great
pressure upon your time and energies by
many matters of high moment of State, and
thereby deferred from further intruding, in
order personally to express his appreeia-
tiOn of your great courtesy and kindness to
him, as well as of your noble generosity to
nv son, can not but avail himself of the
present method in order 90 assure you at
least that all of your great kindnesses have
not been bestOw on ungratefnl recipl-
ents.
As covering the whole subject with re-
gard to myself and nay recovered and re-
stored son in as few words as possible,
please accept the assurance that in every
act and deed involved in the past transac.
tiOns, we recognize q magnanimity OF soul
and a generosity of heart on your part
which few men have ever exhibited. And
NAV God fOrfend that occasion for the ex
ercise of those high attributes through al
ages to come may ever so arise In oul
highly favored land.
With the further assurance of the h1gt
appreciation of every member of my fam
| ily, and our earnest wishes for your vel
fare and that of your whole family; AMI
also our kindest greetings to Major Aver
Generals Loan, Badly, Badger and Judg
Staes, believe me, truly and most CRATE
fully yours, Z. +. WELDON'

Governor Packard is constantly receiv-
ing letters Of encouragement, and the fol-
lowing is sample:
ST.. LOUIS, March 10, 1877.
To Bis Rxcellency 8. B. Packard:
DEAR SR-The Republicans of st. Louis
view with pride your devotion. We know
the unpleasant position you occupy. There
lie no emolument in the office to pay you for
the unpleasantness you encounter, but we
pray you to hold on to your position, and if
yeu are compelled to abandon it let it be
charged direct to Mr.. Hayes. How he can
stultify himself by refusing to recognize you,
and at the same time claim to be President
by the very vote that elected you, We fail
to see.
If the bulldozers of your State committed
half the crimes imputed to them they should
be hung instead of giving them government
as q reward for their murders. Mr.. Hayes
may think that he can build up party in
the State by recruits from the Democratic
party, but he will find he is mistaken. Give
up Louisiana and South Carolina to them,
and never again can any Republican party
exist in the South. The last remnant of
loyalty will be driven from the South. Do
not yield. Let the issue be forced on Mr.
Hayes, and let the country know who is
responsible for the surrender of our party
and principles. think that the down-trod-
den and murdered people of the South are
the only ones that have any right to com.
plain. Give us the Massachusetts policy for
the S uth-that is, punish crime in the
South the same as in MISREPRESENTATION if
the crimes that we complain of and on which
we elect Hayes go unpublished, we say fare
well to Republioanism in the South.
Turn over the government to the Nichols
party, and Wells and Andersen and the
other members of the Returning Board will
be indicted and sent to the Penitentiary,
and Mr.. Hayes will hold the presidency,
and the parties that made him President
will be in the Penitentiary for doing 80
Think not for one moment that the Repub
lican party is with Mr.. Hayes in doing that
which they would never do, viz:-turn the
country over to the Democratic party.
Yours, respectfully,
GEORGE M. JACKSON.

The New Hampshlre EIectIon.

There appears to be no doubt that all
three of the Republican candidates for
Congress were elected last Tuesday. The
defeat of Alvah Sulloway by James F.
Briggs in the second district, and of
Henry o. Kent by Henry w. Blair in the
third, is conceded by the Democrats, while
the latest news from the first district is
that unofficial returns defeat Frank Jones,
Democrat, by twenty-five majority, and
elect General Gilman Marston. This is q
clear gain of two Republican Congress
men, and they were elected on the issue
that Republicans in the South must not be
abandoned or traded Off
The Republican State ticket, headed by
Hon. Benjamin F. Prescott, is elected by
between 5000 and 1000 votes over that
headed by Daniel Marcy, Democrat.
The Legislature has fifty or sixty Repub,
ican majority on joint ballot.

Voice from the Grave.


The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Inter Ocean writes, under date of
March -:
Senator Mcmillan, of Minnesota, has re
ceived letter that sounds like voice from
the grave, protesting against coneiliatory
policy toward the South. On the sixth of
the present month ID. A. Weber, tax collec-
tor of East Feliclana parish, Louisiana, was
shot and killed in the street near his home
The verdict of the coroner's jury assigned
the guilt to persons unknown. Senator Mo
MILAN received from the same Mr.. Weber
the following letter, dated March 3, three
days before his death:
"MY DEAR SENAToR-I see by the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches that President
Grant will not recognize Governor Pack
ard. It is even asserted that President
elect HAYES is committed to such line of
policy. If this should prove true, if after
our services to the nation we are to be left
in the hands of Nichols and his murderers,
Won, Mr.. Senator, who have had the Oppor-
tunity to Judge our cause, will understand
how soon the murderers will begin their
work. 1t would BIZ but a few days work
to wine out OF existence every white Re-
publican, and with our downfall comes that
of the innocent negroes whose vote saved
the nation.
AZ appeal to you, Mr.. Senator, not IS Re
publican, but as friend of justice, to dc
battle for those who are powerless. OuI
lives, our property and the security of ouiI
families depend upon you and those oil
your confreres in the Senate who under
stand our position. Since my return from
New Orleans, and my attendance upor
