III English grammar is lower than up
on arithmetic, and the proficiency in
reading is inferior to that in grammar;
but In geography and spelling these
statistics are fur representations.
Having these facts the Normal has un-
dertaken to teach the students the ell
ements of Third grade" branches,
flrst as positive knowledge of facts
and second as preliminary to all SUBJ
stantial habits of nquiry-inquiry for
truth. Under this rule some uneasi-
ness has continued until the original
good purposes of students have brought
them to see the new facts and rela-
tlons. The first impression has been
that all past work goes for nothing
and that the Normal school feature
consists in difference from method
of other schools without reason there
for found in fact. But from three to
six weeks spent in the effort,to school
ones self to think, perhaps for the first

attendant pain, usually find the student
employed enthusiastically for eight to
fourteen hours daily in the effort to
learn facts and TO attain poDer.

Mr.. III. S. Baker, 'Supt. Of Pierce Co:
DEAR SIR.-l approve your effort to
raise the standard of the third and
second grade certificates in your coun-

not qualify those below for six months.

TEMPEkANCE NOTES.
OTIS HALL.

This hall was literally jammed las:
night. Mr.. b. B. Porter, the first speaker,
spoke q short time in tervent ard
pointed manner in behalf OF the cause.
Following Mr.. Porter WAS Mr.. Frank
Grub. His speech was an hours dura.
ton, and was fine and finished effort.
Mr. Grubb's address was profoundly re-
ceived, and sunk deep into the hearts o!
his hearers, which WAS manifested by the
attention they gave during its delivery.
Following Mr.. Grub was DR.. G. f.
Russell. The doctor stated it WAS the
first time he had ever appeared before an
audience, and gave brief history OF his
experience, and how he had brought
sorrow to his friends and to himself, but
he had concluded to stop that practice
which would eventually eliminate in his
ruin, or that of any man who would fol-
low such pernlcious and damnable
practice.
