OILY pretend to do so, to avoid punish
ment. What shall you do with thems
Their own natures will answer that
question. Let them play. Did you ever
stop and think how much more child Is
educated, during the first ten years. by
play than by studys Yes, educated by
play! That is very important factor in
the education of mankind; and we have
no right to ignore it. Do not charge me
with wanting the children to play all the
time, for such charge would be unjust.
only ask that you refrain from constant
ly compelling the child to do that which
is distasteful to him, and never allowing
him to follow the dictates of his own
will. 1t is pleasant to see that change
is. slowly coming, that the manner of
teaching is merging into the kindergarten
System, that whereas picture making was
once forbidden, now the slate and pencil
are Indispensable; that toys" are now
used that the schoolroom is being made
kind of play ground, or house, all of
which is cheering; and now if they will
just let the children play "out doors"
rather than in the house it will greatly
hasten the millennium. j. w.

Senator Voorhees, Successor.
Inter Oceanl


The Indianians are already dis
cussing the possibilities and proba-
bilities as to Mr.. Voorhees,, successor
in the Senate, to be elected in 1879.
OF the twenty-seven Senators hold
ing over seventeen are republicans,
nine democrats, and one independent.
or the twenty-three TO be elected
next fall at least ten are to be re-
turned from districts which Gun safe
ly be counted as republican. In all
human probabilities, therefore, the
Senate will be republican by four
majority. Should the counties OF
Benton, Newton, Jasper, and White
return a republican in place of Majors,
an Independent, which they are not
unlikely to do, republicans will have
twenty eight members, or majority
OF six. In the House the prospect is
not so cheering. In 1874 there were
thirty-three republicans, eight
democrats, and nine independents in
the House. Last year the democrats
carried the state by $500 majority,
but the republicans elected fiftyfour
of the one hundred members OF the
House, and the chances are that they
will elect fifty-three members in 1878.
If they do Mr.. Voorhees, will be sue
ceeded by a republican.

Good Natured Editing.

aGood natured editing says some
wise man, "spoils half the papers in

will you please publish the poetry L

age budding genius. Our church Is

dolorous plea is inserted. MY father
took your paper for twenty years,

The Telegi aph Institute Swindle.

For years our young men have
been tempted by advertisements to
enter business colleges TO learn tele-
graphy, etc., an inducement being
that they were promised a situation
as soon as they could graduate, at a
good salary. OF course no such
thing could be done and the young
gudgeon found this out after he had
spent his money to procure a knowl-
edge Of telegraphy. One young man
has had the grit to sue an Indianapo-
lis concern on its false pretenses, and
is likely to give them alarge amount
OF trouble. The swindling concern
is likely to come to immediate grief,
as it properly should. 1t is not the
best thing for young man to learn
telegraphy anyhow, for il he does he
can never make it the means OF
making an independent living. He
must always be in the employ OF the
telegraph companies, and il he wants
70 set up in business for himself he
must learn some other occupation.
But il our young men are determined
to 60 into telegraphy let them keep
out Of the clutches Of any, so-called,
Telegraph Institutes, which make
false promises, and should be set
down as a swindling concern.
