Town CLERKS win remember their
reports. District clerks will also do
well to be prompt.
The National Teachers Monthly is
very practical as we'll as readable

Barnes & Co., Chicago.
DENA LARSON. of the Stumble district,
Martel, closed her school with a pic
mic. Declarations, compositions, mu-
sic, ETC., were among the exercises.
Why not read the State Superintend-
ent's circular in regard to textbooks at
your annual meeting and urge actioni
We will send some upon application.
THE N. E. Journal of Education has
articles upon drawing. giving details
of class work, which some teachers
follow. The whole paper is full of
practical thought.
The Institute at Ellsworth announc-
ed for September Sd, is postponed.
The powers that be have consigned
Prof. Thayer to another more needy
locality for that date. A definite no
tice soon.
Q. What textbooks upon drawing
and botany do you recommend. M. G.
A. Walter Smiths Primary Manual
and Cards. Address l.. Prang & Co.,
Boston. Gray's How Plants Grow,
IvisOn, Phinney & Co., Chicago.
WE shall soon present to the teach
ers plans for forming County Teach
er's Library. Is 1t not desirable to
have books within reach of the teach
ers which shall tell them how to teach |
what they know, and also tell them
what they ought to know and how to
teach it.
PRoF III. w. SLACK, late of Hudson,
has been elected to the principalship |
of the jefferson school in st. Paul, for |
the coming year. He is at present |
rusticating in hudson. He attended |
the late examination in Madison and |
received life certificate for Wiscon-
sin.
IT is waste of time and money to |
have school during July and August, |
or even the last weeks of June. Why |
not have fall term when the wealth
er. attendance and interest is good
Then if you have but five months the
other can come either in January and
February, or April and May. If you
have more, take the fall for it, not
midsummer. More than three months
without vacation, we believe to be
tiresome to all and Improbable. Talk
of these things at your annual meet
ing, which would be better changed to
the last Monday in August, as the law
allows.

PRIMARY GEOGRAPHY.
No. Five.
BY A. EARTHMAN.

Thus far, have laid down course
of which map drawing is the basis
i. g.. the representation of the Earth's
surface on plane. But as the globe
is the true representation of the earth
il is necessary to carry the globe in
struction along with the foregoing.
How!
Take a piece of paper, cut a small
hole into it, place it upon globe and
hold the two at distance from the
eye of the child. The portions of the
curved surface Of the globe visible
through the hole in the paper will APP
pear fiat.
By means of tl,is and similar illus
trations, the child, will, at very ear
ly stage in the course, be able to un-
derstand how 1T is that, whenever we
stand on some eminence, that portion
of the Earth's surface which we are
enabled to see. appears fat to us; he
will soon have an idea of what the
horizon is; how the regular succession
of day and night, and of the seasons,
is caused.
Exercises ON the globe should form
part of the everyday work in Geog-
raphy, until the pupil is able to COM
prehend the meaning of such terms as
axis, equator. parallels, meridians.
etc. This will require time, and much
skill on the part of the teacher; but
experience proves that this work can
be done and well done, by the t r.
who is willing to rno- - oaoasas,,
preparst'-
--slun.
/ As soon as the child has tolerably
correct idea of latitude and longitude e,
he should be taught that in the United
States, for the purposes of surveying
and locating land, the terms, range
and township, are substituted for lati-
tude and longitude. At this juncture
the map of a township-not of the
town in which the school-house is To-
cated-should be placed upon the
board. Let the square representing
the township. be divided into 80 small
er squares representing the section.
Let the particular method of number
ing the sections be understood, and
also the fact that this method of mum
bering is uniform throughout the
United States.
A few questions as to the amount of
land owned by the pal ants of the pu-
pills, will soon establish the fact that
a section Of land contains $40 acres.
1t will. also, readily be seen that as
farmers generally own less than Sec
tion, regular division of the section
becomes necessary. These divisions
of the section are not numbered, but
distinguished by their direction. as
the northeast quarter, the southeast
quarter, and so on. Then work should
be- continued until the child is prepar-
ed 70 describe and locate leo, 80. 40,5,
81 acre lots.

An English correspondent of the
New York World expresses the opin-
ion that the very framework of En-
glish government is in process of dis
Indignation, suggesting that when the
government of a country is no longer
respected, and when all power is plac-
ed in the hands of the people, the days
of that government are few and num-
bered. This correspondent is con-
WINGED that the government-that is,
the whole civil polity-of England has
lost whatever hold it once had on the
respect or affections of the people.

1T seems that the leading Chinese
merchants of Sau Francisco are dis
posed to cooperate with the govern
ment in discourlgirg further Chinese
immigration. They asked Senator
Morton to introduce a bill modifying
or abrOgatlng the Burlingame treaty.
They want tax of 500 per capita
levied upon all Chinese immigrants.

expenses of any Cinnamon who wish

ment that their eountrymen have re-
ceived here as an outrage. and for
their sakes wish to prevent further

The Milwaukee Wisconsin gives
publicity to unfortunate domestic diff
ficulties in the household of Senator
John Mitchell, son of Alexander
Mitchell, the famous Milwaukee rail-
way and money king. The custody of
a three year old child is one of the
questions upon which there seems to
be very radical difference of opinion.
