READING.
BY ANON.
lCONTINUED.


Correct pronunciation can be secured
only by careful study on the part of
the pupil, of the dictionary. and setter
nal vigilance" on the part of the teach
er; correcting whenever mispronun-
citation occurs.
The third requisite to good reading
is not easily secured. With the UNI
natural reader. nothing will break the
monotony, unless he is brought to a
realizing sense of what reading means
the Interpretation and expression of
thought. He must be shown-and this
may be done by absurd use of tone,
emphasis, or infiection-that thought,
simple enough to be understood by the
most ignorant, can easily be perverted;
that with the skillful artist. the repres-
entation of the thought, by means of
the word-picture, can be made perfect.
The pupil must see tor himself that
common sense is as important requi-
site for reading as 1T is for everything
else.
In short, satisfactory results can be
obtained only by skill, on the part of
teacher, in the classification of pupils;
thorough appreciation of the impor-
tance of the subject-on which. by the
way, depends all progress, in whatever
branch of study ;-Originality in the
use of ways and means; an awakening,
in the pupil, of his power to compre-
bend what is already possessed by the
teacher; and perseverance in well-do-
ing, remembering that lone lesson
learned thoroughly is worth a dozen
in the future; and that a celebrated
elocutionist instructed his pupil upon
one lesson for three years and then
sent him out as prepared to teach the
subject.

THE GREAT STRIKE.

The greatest strike of laborers which
has ever occurred in the United States
took place on Friday last, and in its
consequences the most serious
strikes in the coal mining districts are
mild in comparison. The movement
which has resulted so disastrously
originated in the refusal of tiremen to
perform their duties or permit others
to do so at Baltimore, Camden, and
other points on the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, evidently in accordance
with a preconcerted plan for a general
strike, as all train men followed in
their footsteps and the contagion rap
idly spread to all the principal cities
in the east and soon affected all the
more prominent railways. The strik-
ers complain that they do not get suf-
ficlent pay for their maintenance, the
reductions in which from time to time
during the past two years have
brought them down to starvation
prices while the companies claim that
they pay all they can afford to and in
sist that they can hire men for what
they have been paying if allowed to do
so. The strikers will not allow 9TH
ers to take their places and mob law
reIgns supreme in Pittsburg and 9TH
er cities. The aid of the military has
been invoked and granted, but the
soldiers do not seem to be very effec-
tive, in some instances stacking their
arms and expressing sympathy for
the strikers who are also backed by
the populace, making matters very
much complicated. On Saturday at
PIttsburg the round-house, machine
shops, locomotive, cars and depot
buildings were destroyed by fire, the
Infatuated mob having full sway. the
destruction of property amounting to
millions of dollars, while many per-
sons have been killed and wounded.
Since the above was written, the
riot has spread through several other
large cities and nearly every road in
the country is involved in the great
strike. Reading, Pennsylvania, owing
To the iniudicious action of the mali
tia, is at the mercy of the mob. In
other places, however, the action of
the strikers is confined TO the stop
page of trains and the intimidation of
workmen. Through freight and pas
senger traffic has been brought practi-
cally to standstill, but the United
States mails are permitted to continue
unmOlested.
As far as Wisconsin is concerned, 1T
is hoped that the strike will not reach
within its borders. as the Chicago &
North Western and the Chicago, Mil
waukee e st. Paul roads have resclnd-
ed their orders for the reduction OF
wages.
Since riots seem to be the order of
the day the workingmen of San Fran
cisco are taking hand in, the cheap
labor Of the Chinese being the cause
of the trouble on the golden shores of
California. The police, however, by
pluck and discipline succeeded in stay
ing the progress of the mob before any
very serious consequences occurred.
The Chinese were very much brighten
ed and endeavored to keep out of
harms way. 1t is thought that the
worst is over and that with viligance
on the part of the police authorities
further outbreaks ut present win be
prevented.
