cellent drill, and the study of the
causes of each event and the chain
Of connection between the great events
Of different periods was a real enjoy
ment-was entering, as Supt. Barns
said, into the very philosophy of His
terry.
In Geography the topical method
was used and position, boundary,
area, commercial relations within and
without, natural features, etc. of the
u. S. was considered. a map Of the
u. S. was placed upon the board and
the regions noted for their mineral or
vegetable productions were located.
According to Mr.. Barns's plan, every
thing that maybe marked, when de-
scribed in recitation on the map.
ISupt. Barns suggested, as an exer-
else in composition as well as q review
in Geography, that the members Of a
class, after thoroughly studying a
country, be required to start from
different parts and follow mentally q
given route describing accurately in
regard to natural features, productions,
etc, the country passed through.
Friday evening Sup't Barns thanked
the teachers for their close attention
to work and for the interest and good
spirit manifested. The teachers feel
that it would be objectionable did they
not show that they appreciate the ef-
forts Of such an earnest, conscientious,
and able Institute conductor of Sup't
! Barns, or such an accomplished and
experienced instructor as Mr.. Flett.
The teachers of the Institute and the
people of Kenosha were entertained by
an excellent lecture from Prof. Sawin,
Of GAINESVILLE, on Thursday evening.
This lecture will be more fully noticed
in next weeks report.
The attendance at the Institute is
good The number Of members en-
rolled at the close Of Fridays session
is sixty. AGNES MONAGHAN, Sec'y.
GENERAL CARY will speak on the
subject of Greenback Money at Sim
mons Hall CHS evening. The curren-
cy question is now agitating the
Icountry and it is important that the
people should understand it. General
Cary advocates the Greenback side of
the question: So far, all who prefer a
! Government currency to q Bank cur
rency, will probably agree with him.
He also advocates, we believe, the for
nation of an independent Greenback
lparty and the support Of It's candidates.
In this, many supporters of a Govern
ment corrency can not agree with him.
But General Cary will speak for him
self at Simmons Hall tonight, and his
well known oratorical abilities and the
Importance of the subject will be suf-
fcient inducement to all who desire to
know his views and hear discussion
Of the GrGenback question to give him
hearing.
SCHIPKA PASS has not yet been taken
| by the Turks, and their taking it is be-
coming very doubtful A few DAYS
ago it was reported that the Turks had
attacked the Russians all along their
line on the LON and were driving them
away with great loss. Now the report
comes that the Russians, as previously
ARRANGED, have attacked the Turks all
along their line from near the mouth
of the Vid to the foot of the Balkans
south of Lovatz, and that they have
driven the Turks fighting desperately
from position to position till the taking
Of Lovatz seems certain though at
great loss.
For the result we must await au-
thentic news yet to come. This much
only can be relied on, There has been
some severe fighting with many dead
| and wounded on both sides.
