. STRANGE FLIGHT OF SWALLOWS
A letter from Westerly, r. l., to the
Providence Journal contains this state
ment: Immense fiocks Of swallows
haunt q little copse in Westerly. Hun
dreds Of thousands of these little birds
gather, filing the air and confusing
the mind with their twittering. They
come singly, in pairs, by the score, in
hundreds, and even in fock5 Of thous-
ands, until there seems no room in the
air for more. All at once, as by magic,
they shoot into the copse and disap-
pear 1t is really wonderful sight.
Westerly people visit the place every
evening, and many come over even
from Watch Hill and Stonington to
witness the singular phenomenon.
They have been known to gather there
for number of years, but in number
they excel this year" -

Teaching Children the News.


Miss Mitchell, teacher of the first
grammar grade III the Washington
School, Pittsburgh, Pa, has introduced
q new and brilliant feature in her
school exercises. It is 2 discussion Of
the news Of the day between the pupils
and the teacher, the first half hour of
the morning being devoted to that ex-
ercise The words, ."The Bulletin" are
drawn on the blackboards in large Ger
man text letters, and Immediately be-
low, in newspaper style, are head lines
similar to those employed by daily pa
pers in giving the points Of the most
Important news, and then each head
line is taken up by the school, and q
general interchange of views takes
place between the teacher and the pu-
pills The Bulletin is the daily paper
Of that room, and an editor is elected
by the school every month, whose duty
lit is to examine the Pittsburgh papers
every morning, and write down on the
blackboard, before school hours, the
points for discussion, to give g head
line resume Of the news of the day, as
it were, and if the editor exhibits ca
pacity for the work intrusted to him
he is often reelected to his high posi-
ton. Of course the discussion does
not take in news Of every description
but only Of the most interesting char
acter. It includes foreign news, edi-
torial topics, local news, etc.
This exercise is regarded as part Of
their school work, and is entered into
by every pupil with the greatest posi-
bic interest, and many Of them whose
parents can afford it purchase q paper
every morning and study its entire
contents just as they do their gram
mar. their geography and their arith-
metic. BY means Of the Bulletin every
scholar learns the important news of
the day, and is enabled to understand
the yarions great questions which agi-
tate the public mind The value OF
an exercise of this kind is beyond des-
cription, and it is hoped that it will
become an established custom III every
public school in this country.

STARTING IN THE World. Many
an unwise parent labors hard and
lives sparingly all his life for the pIr-
pose Of leaving enough to give his
children 4 start in the world, as it is
called. Setting q young man atloat
with money left him by his relatives
is like tying bladders under the arms
OF one who cannot swiln-ten chances

go to the bottom. Teach him to
swim, and he viii never need the
bidders. Give your child q sound ed
ucation, and you have done enough
for him. See to it that his morals are
pure, his mind cultivated, and his
whole nature made snbseryient to laws
which govern man, and you have given
what will be Of more value than the
wealth Of the Indies.

The Republican press is showing a
commendable zeal in discussing plans for
electing future Presidents. The inherent
defects of the old and cumbersome cleo
toral system have become so obvious that
no words are wasted in its defence. The
plans most prominently before the country
are those advocated by Senator Morton
and ex-senator Buckalew. They are
briefly stated by the Chicago Tribune as
follows: Senator Morton's plan pro-
vides that each voter shall vote directly
for President and Nice-Iresident, and the
persons having the highest number of
votes in the State shall be entitled to the
two electoral votes Of the State at large /;
and that the persons having the highest
number Of votes for President, in each
Congressional district, shall be entitled to
the electoral vote of that district, and the
electoral vote Of each State shall be APP
portioued first, two votes for the State
at large to the candidate having the high
est popular vote in the whole State; and
one electoral vote for each Congressional
district to the candidate having the popu.
lar majority in that district. Mr.. Buck
alew's plan is to have voters vote in each
State directly for the President that the
aggregate vote for President be divided
by the whole number of electoral votes to
which the State is entitled, and the quo
tient will be the ratio on which the ell
ecloral vote shall be divided between the
candidates in proportion to the popular
vote received by each" Under Mr.. Nor
