The Spring examinations closed last
Friday, and those who were entitled to
certificates have received them, ana
Chose who failed have been notified to
that effect. Of course there is theusu-
al amount Of grumbling among the
disappointed ones, and of course the
Go. Supt is blamed. This is all right !;
Che Supt. can stand a greatdeal of that
sort Of thing. But some have thrown

THE STUDY OF HISTORY. /

COLONEL HTGGINsoN's CLEVER, IDEAS
9fee ON THE SUBJECT. raa
Colonel IIigginson gave avery clever
and entertaining lecture in Boston,
lately, on the study of history. He
held that history,fsto be attractive to
children, must not be told in fctlon.
Children crave. for, yearn for, not the
fictitious. but the real, and their mag
nations make the real t.of the fcti-
tious, thus putting us in the position OF
talking history to them in spite Of our
selves. TO Illustrate his point, Colonel
Higginson told Of little boy whose on
|ly- knowledge Of the cat kind was. a
,squeaking rubber cat at home. One
day while visiting, he, found a,real cat,
and to The friends who would take her
from him after he had made her squall,
he replied, ooh, don't; it is the most
| real best noise Lever heard q cat do"
All our making history attractive to
children is based upon making it real
to them. There are two or. three sim
| pie principles which lie at the bottom
OF the study, and if we can only holdto
them, we shall succeed in removing
something oflthis special aversion to
history Whichllies in all our minds.
The first principle in the study Of his
tory is to make it study of facts The
power TO learn depends mainly upon
the presentation. Inregard to history.
the problem should be solved by max
ing it interesting; by meeting feeble
memories half way. The vast memo
Iries of which we read are very rare
gifts. They are hardly to be created
OF trained. The second principle is al
most inseparable from the first. IN
lorder to fix firmly in The mind voI
should illustrate them light them up.

you cease to read history when YOU
lay aside the book called history. His
torl2al novels, old customs, old furni-
Iture, old kitchens, and old clothing and
the Ike are just as important, as the
BOOKS, Without them the truth can
mot be seen. There are whole pages Of

Which seem to us the uninportant
facts ate sometimes the Important
facts. History should be studied for
tile principles OF life as well as for
| statistics. We should strive to know less
OF dates and moreYof the characteris-
tics. Our study of history ought not
to be merely q study of facts, nor i'm
aginatiVe study Of the period, but we
| need to carry into it spirit Of candor.
Esuch a judicial spirit that we shall
know both sides, and can cherish q
ispirit of forgiveness, kindness, and
sympathy, instead of turning history
Into an Inheritance Of hatred-an ex-
iample Of ote-siaed treatment.

 Business is looking up here consid- erobly of late. Several freight trains have arrived and taken their depart ure within the past ten days, dis charging and loading here. Trading appears brisk. There have been aH unusual number of farmers, miners and prospecting parties outfitting here. There is a lively animation manifest everywhere. The Stonewall Jackson, Silver King and other mines have made large shipments of bullion and concentrations.
 Sunday is evidently the day of the week. During the middle of the day large numbers of MeXicans, Indians and others are attracted from the sur rounding country to witness horse races at the race track outside of the town. When the races are over, these people all flock into town and then everything wears a holiday appear ance and the stores and saloons do a IuSLllH buSlutSS. l4tSl DuuNdN lutIt were two races, of 300 yards each, whicll were largely attended. Prepa- ralons are being made for a continu- ance of this sport on Christmas day, and several interesting races are be- | ing arranged.
