HARDNESS.

Mr.. D. J. Powderly, Of district No.
II, Somers, is the only teacher in the
county who reports no cases Of tardi-
ness for any one month during the
winter term. During the month of
January Mr.. Powderly had taDo tardy
pupils, and in February none.
This, however, is not the case in
most schools. Many teachers report
from twenty to twenty-five cases, and
one reports Ni1aety-thTee cases in one
month. 1t is astonishing how much
time is lost by hardness where the
sum total is told.
'Who is to blame for this?" is the
question which naturally arises. I an
swer that first the parent is to blame
second the teacher; third the pupil.
The pupil is to blame when he letters
on the way to school, or is tardy
through any fault Of his own, and for
this he should be punished
The teacher is at fault when he fails
to make his school so interesting that
his pupils will make every effort to get
to school every day Of the term, and
before nine o'clock.
The parents are to blame when they
require their children to do more work
than they can perform before school
time. Many parents argue that q few
minutes in the morning do not make
much difference. But few minutes
do make a great difference. In the
first place, if the child belongs to the
first class that recites in the morning,
he loses one recitation. Secondly, if he
does not belong in that class, he needs
those few minutes to prepare for his
class when it does come. Last but by
no means least, he disturbS the whole
school when he comes in late Pupils
who make an effort to get to school be
fore nine o'clock have @ right to de-
mand that they be not disturbed in this
way. Enough of this" says some one,
"yOu have told us who was to blame
now tell us how to prevent it," East
Ell said than done But will offer the
following words of advice to teachers ::
Make your school so pleasant and in
teresting that your pupils wi II use ev-
cry effort to get there.
If pupil is tardy through any fault
of his own, punish him, but do not do
it by keeping linn in the house during
recess or ''noOn."
If there is a family in the district
who comes to school late, go and see
the parents. If you do not get an in
vitation go anyhow.

that some Of the most stubborn cases
have been broken up by calling on the
lady of the house and having a quiet
talk about school matters in general.

THE PREPAYMENT IMPORT
ANCE OF PRIMARY SCHOOLS.

IHE PRE-EMlN ENI lMPORI-
ANCE OF PRIMARY SCHOOLS.
The true education regards training
rather than information; quality rath-
er than volume; and it is the quality
rather than the volume of learning
that we should especially regard in the
lower schools. They cannot make
scholars, but they can make students,
thinkers and readers. Not how much
to study and how much to read, but
how to study and how to read and
what to read; these are the things of
greatest Importance. The first six
years of school life, the golden age Of
boyhood and girlhood, are, entrusted to
the primary school. Four-fifths of the
voters, four-fifths of the fathers and
mothers Of a generation hence are re-
ceiying all the education they will ever
have in that school. Nine-tenths OF
the remainder must get the sum Of
their education in the lower secondary
schools. Then these schools assume
an Importance that cannot be ignored
either by the scholar or the patriot;
and to their full and systematic devel-
opment the most careful and honest
thought should be given. The prima-
Try school in township, village and city
is the central element of the system,
and leads every other part in interest
and Importance, and the lower secon-
Diary school, as the distinctive feature
Of the village and township graded sys-
tenn, is of hardly less Importance

Hi NEXT SPEAKER.

The narrow margin that separates the
two great parties in the new House OF Rep
resentatiyes involves the speakership in
great doubt. The importance attaching to
the position is likely to produce COM
binations which will wrest the organiza-
ton Of the House from the hands Of the
dominant party. Members covet import
ant C~hairmanships and other favors which,
il they cannot obtain in one way they may
seek in another. The despotic power exer-
eised by the Speaker Of the House is not
generally understood by the masses. In
stead Of merely preserving order and ad-
ministering the rules, says the Sun, he as
sumes functions and authority which
were never intended to be conferred.
The appointment Of all the committees
standing, special and conference.-the
other incidental powers, gives him more
control than he ought to possess. Mr..
Blaine established the usage that every
important proposition should be submitted
for his approval before he would consent
to recognize the person on the floor who
desired to make the motion, introduce the
measure, or move the resolution; so that
practically all proposed legislation had to
be Endorsed at the Speakers chair before
1t could be introduced. He can make and
unmake leaders by giving them preference
or discarding them at his caprice. The
popular idea that members Of the House
can speak at their own pleasure, has be-
come . delusion in practice. The Speak
er's will or Partially determines his right,
and not the parliamentary law. The ef-
feet Of this system, which passed into the
hands Of Mr.. Blaine's successors, and has
In no way been curtailed under Mr.. Ram
dali, is to make members subservient to o
single will, and to divest constituencies Of
their full and proper representation. The
is an autocrat, no longer the
servant. but really the master Of the
House.

wY0MING's WOMEN VOTERS.

Correspondence of the ST. Louis Republican
This Territory, as is well known, Is the
only locality in the United States where
women vote the same as men. The idea
that led to its adoption was. first, that
Wyoming. being the youngest Of all the
States and Territories, should be progress
sive, up with all Advancement, and never
disposed to look backward; and, second, to
throw into politics nm element to aid in
counterbalancing the influence Of the
roughs, thieves, cut-throats and highway
men, who then constituted o large share Of
the population. Since that time q fair
trial Of the institution has not developed
sufficient power or Importance in the vot-
ing of the women to prompt any one to
move for a repeal Of the law. j believe only
ono woman in the Territory was ever
elected to office by the people, and now no
offices are ever demanded by the fair
sex, except some sinecure places in the
Legislature, where the pay can be drawn
and but little service rendered. In the
casting OF votes the women do not figure
exclusively, except on very rare occasions.
There il a certain class, however, who al
ways vote, and being themselves dis
reputable characters, they always throw
their suffrage to the worst men on the
tickets. The publication Of politics is not
to their interest. In other cases, the
members of some certain church or other
society desire one Of their number elected
to SOME office, and then the women Of that
organization turn out and cast their votes
solid for the designated man. Probably
half the women in Cheyenne nave never
cast a vote since the first or second election
after the law was passed. At first it was
customary for carriages to visit all the res
licences on election days, and convey the
ladies to the polls in the interest Of certain
candidates, but that fashion is now almost
a dead letter. There is a separate polling
place for the women to vote, and they are
treated like ladies, being free from insults
or jostling; so that mixing with the mob
cannot be the cause Of their lack Of interest
in elections, but that politics is ont Of their
legitimate sphere.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE NE"
BONANZA.

We Yesterday received the following pri-
vate dispatch from Dan De Quille' the well
known Comstock expert. 1t was forwarded
Friday night, but did not reach us until
yesterday morning;
I have lust come u of the mine. The
face Of the 1900 level is in ore that will
mill $40 per ton. / saw il after the last
blast was fred. The 2100 crosscut is too
near the top Of the vein. II will not
amount to much.
This, perhaps, 10 as correct a statement
of the situation as has been given to the
public. 1t demonstrates two things. FIRST
that the new bonanza is not q failure.
Secondly. that it will take time to develop
it. Mr.. Mackay gave it as his opinion the
other day that the 1900 level would turn
out all right, but he added that 1t would
take six months to open the ore body. We
have no doubt that this is true. The whole
thing has been poorly managed. The
rise in the stock was premature. The
insiders were mistaken aud are as badly
hurt, probably, as anybody. The ex-
cavation for tho stump, forty feet
below the 1900 level showed rich ore all the
way down, richer, in TACT, at the lowest
point reached than elsewhere. All these
things combined would seem to indicate
that the heart Of the bonanza lies deeper.
We should not be at all surprised II be-
tween the 1900 and $500 levels there was
found to exist the grandest body Of rich
ore ever brought to light on the great lode.
The Crown Point-Belcher bonanza was
found between the 800 and 1t00-foot levels f;
that Of the Con. virginia-C California, be-
tween the 140O and 100, and now it would
be in order for the Sierra Nevada find to
extend from the 2200 to the $500. At all
events, we are disposed to believe that the
mine lies deeper than the present crosscut.
