We have devoted considerable space
on the first page OF this issue to the
proceedings of the Democratic State
Convention, held at Columbus on the
36th ult., and to which we invite the
careful and candid consideration of
our readers. It was one of the largest
and most important Conventions that
has assembled in the State for many
years, and it's proceedings were con-
Quoted throughout In spirit of har-
mony and enthusiasm showing that
the Ohio Democracy are thoroughly
united ON all the great issues which so
deeply concern the welfare of the peo-
pie and the nation. The Convention
did its work well. The ticket put in
nomination is an excellent one, COM
posed of gentlemen of character and
ability, who are worthy of the support
of the entire people of the State. 1t
is one that ought to be, and we believe
will be. triumphantly elected. But by
far the most important work of the
Convention was the platform of prin-
ciples adopted. There was no going
back upon the former declarations of
the party, but clear and distinct
avowal of its position upon all those
questions which SO deeply concern the
public veal. In brief, it declares for
strict construction home rule; su-
premacy of the civil over the military
power; separation of Church and
State equality of all citizens before
the law; liberty of individual action
unvexed by sumptuary laws; abso-
lutte acquiesence in the lawfully ex.
pressed will of the majority; opposi-
ton to all subsidies; the preservation
of public land to actual settlers; the
and perfecting of the
common school system endorses the
of electoral frauds !;
the present financial distress
to Republican mismanagement; de-
mands the repeal of the Resumption
Act, the removal of restrictions on the
coinage of silver, the gradual substi-
tuition of Greenbacks for National
Bank Notes, aud that they be made
for all the dues of the Gov
and of equal tender with
coin; declares for no further increase
Of the bonded debt, and for tariff for
only asserts that those whose
labor and enterprise produces wealth
should be secured in its enjoyment;
sympathy to the laboring
classes who have been thrown out of
by the ruinous financial
policy of the Republican Party, and
pledges the Democratic Party to q re-
versal of that policy; discountenances
The resort to violence for the redress
Of any alleged grievance, and con-
graduates the country upon the adop-
lion Of constitutional pacific policy
Of local self-government in the South,
70 long advocated by the Democratic
Party, which has brought peace and
to that section of the Union.
Again we say, let every one atten-
lively read and candidly consider the
questions involved in the contest upon
which we have just entered.

Accidents to Children.

It is q common occurrence for
children to get beans, grains of corn,
OF other foreign substances up their
noses. The following is simple REM
edy, and is well worth remembering
Order the child to open it's mouth; ap-
ply you mouth to it, and blow rather
hard. The offending substance will
be expelled from the nostril.
It would naturally be supposed that
q person who has once witnessed the
success Of this expedient would never
forget it, and yet I know mother Of
excellent memory on general subjects,
who, after seeing bean thus expelled
from the nose of her own child, failed
to recall the expedient when a similar
occasion presented four or five years
afterward. Hence the necessity Of re-
publishing the same scrap Of valua-
BILE information from time to time

keep the fruit off the ground They
are perfectly hardy.
''The Snyder is the favoyite blackber-
ry here. I have sent quite number

years of my life. I see some Dragging

THE OBJECTS OF RECITATION. !.
The first object of recitation is to as
certain whether the pupil has faithful
ly applied bis mind to the lesson, that
is,has he attained a general mastery Of
the subject, and to test his ability to
perform certain tasks. And here the
teacher must exercise Judgment. Dc
not discourage pupil by imposing up
on him burdens greater than he can
bear, nor yet require Of him anything
g0ea1sey than he is ready for.
Instructions should be given by the
teacher in regard to the best manner
Of stIdyj1ag the lesson; a distinction
made between the important and I'M
important parts OF the lesson; and the
subject should be presented from diff
ferent standpoints SO as to prevent
bigotry and narrow mindedness.
Another object is to give instruction
by presenting new thoughts, giving
new attachment to what has already
been gained, and to give moral instruc-
ton. Expression also is to be cultl-
waited. Besides correcting that which
is inelegant or ungramatical, the teach
er should require clearhess and COM
pleteness of expression, and that each
thought advanced by the pupil has a
direct bearing upon the subject under
discussion.
The teacher should be clear Of the
charge Of "Bookishness," and never
ask leading questions. The teacher
should strive to create self-sonhdence
in the pupil, and desire for informa-
ton beyond that afforded by the text
book. All this and much more may
be gained by the pupil if the teacher
possesses tact as we'll as talent. G.

the Secretary was not present, Secre-

sentiment
Reports were then made, by the
teachers present, Of the general condi-
tion Of their schools.
A class exercise in Arithmetic fol-
lowed, conducted by A. S. Carpenter
Subject, Percentage, which was ably
conducted. He first considered the
definitions OF the several parts Of Per
contage; then the Formulas were plac-
ed upon the blackboard and demon
stratod by members of the class. The
exercise was continued into Interest,
definitions and formulas were gwen
and compared with those Of Percent
age. Problems TO illustrate the sever
al points were performed by the class.
The six per cent rule was also consid-
cred.
We next listened TO very fine es-
say-Subject, Teicles, by Miss Agnes
Petrie.
We were then favored, by MI. III.
Brande, with his exercise i'll Elenen-
tary Music The exercise was ably
conducted. Mr.. Brande showed very
plainly how music might be taught in
our district schools with profit, and b G
no detrIment to the other work. His
plan is to devote five minutes to music
in the middle Of one of the long SEES
sions. lie afirns that it operates as a
rest and is q benefit TO the school
After this followed a short recess of
ten minutes.
After recess the discussion Of the
subject Of go Education" was called
for. Owing to the absence of part
Of the speakers the discussion was an
informal one.
Miss Petri8 yielded to our entreaties
and favored us by reading that fine po-
en- entitled-"The Flood of Years"
After which the meeting adjourned.

TEACHFRS' MEETING

The meeting Of the teachers Of the
W.D, at the futile school house, in
Salem, Feb. 9th, was called to order
by Vice President Munson. Quite a
number Of teachers, school officers, and
other friends Of education were pres
ent.
The first exercise was one in the
Geography Of Wisconsin, conducted
by Harry Brown. The method ADOPT
ed was good one, and showed excel
lent preparation on the part of the
teacher. Different plans of teaching
geography were then discussed. and
some new ideas we're advanced.
After an intermission Of As minutes
Mr.. DIiddlecamp took up the subject
Of Decimal Fractions, and handled il
ina very able manner.
Miss Hartneu who was appointed
to conduct an exercise in Penmanship,
was absent, and M. y. Wallrich was
appointed to I'll vacancy. He chose as
hissubject Causes of the Revolution.
This exercise created a great deal of
discussion, and many astonishing
causes were given.

GIVE YOUR CHILD A PAPER.

A child beginning to read becomes
delighted with newspaper, because
he reads Of names and things which
are familiar, and he will progress ac-
cordlrgly.. A newspaper in one wear
is worth q quarters schooling to q
child. Every father must consider that
Information is connected with advance
.ment. The mother Of a family, being
one Of its heads, and having a more
immediate charge Of children, should
herself be instructed. A mind occu-
pied becomes fortified against the ills
of life, and is braced for emergency.
Children amused by reading or study
are, Of course, more considerate and
easily governed.

Contrast the sensible, statesmanlike

lyide q more general and complete sys-
TEN of education for the children of
/ the Commonwealth, with the mario w
minded, demogogic policy advocated

trial education for its growing mem
bers is being seriously discussed now
| i'll several Of the States Of the Union,
and we may hope that before long some
wise solutions Of the problem may be
suggested and acted upon.
Whatever may be our individual
views upon this question Of popular
Education, as to its character and ex-
| tent, we must agree upon the necessity
| for a more general education than we
| now secure, and also for a more COM
Ipzete one. The lessons Of our late State
census teach only too plainly that the
balance Of political power III this State
| is passing into the hands Of an Hitter
ate class, who will become, by force Of
circumstances, a caste by themselves,
through whose barriers it will be found
well nigh impossible to break. This
result, ii il comes TO pass, will be the
effect Of the failure to reach these per-
sonsin their youth and to bring to- bear
upon them, III that formative period Of
their lives, the eleyating and broaden
ing influences Of moral and intellectu-
Ial culture. In view Of these consider
ati0ns onght we not to consider
whether, as a State, we have made all
the efforts to avert this impending evil
which are in our power?
The question of the fulness Of the
education which the State shall give,
land what shall be its elements, is to-day
pressing itself for settlement upon the
minds Of educators and statesmen
alike. What forms the requisite basis
for the the upright man and the good
citizen demands the thoughtful att6n
ton of every lover OF his country. If
