EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.
WIN. ELDEN, Editor.

READING is at once the basis and in
strument of all literary culture and
hence the most important branch of
school instruction. In learning to read
it is necessary for the child to acquire
the ability to associate with the printed
form of the word its appropriate pro-
nunciation and the idea which it is in
tended to represent, and to do this at
sight, without any hesitation or delay.
The object Of reading is two-fold:
first, to understand what is read, and
second, to give it proper oral expression.
Expression is always the index by
which the teacher may know whether
or not the pupil understands what he
reads; and it is essential to him who
would read for the entertainment or in
struction of others. But the all-import-
ant question is, "Understandest thou
what thou readest?" for unless the
reader understands what he reads, he
can neither acquire information for him
self nor impart it to others. His reading
is valueless; indeed, it is no reading at
all. Now herein lies, perhaps, the most
important Office of the teacher, especial
ly after the pupil has taken the few first
steps, to question him as to his under
standing Of words, phrases and idioms,
and develop in him the ability to gather
information from every province in the
realm of books.

At the last meeting of the Lime Kiln

ton of privilege. He said:
'Way off on de las end of de Brush

no kind hand to pass him fried cake or

am not one of us, and we can't give to

consent of Brudder Gardner dat we may

"You kin-you kin!'was the prompt
reply of the President.
Il puts dis dime in de hat, an I truly
hopes dat de gem'len will depreciate de
situation" said Penstock, as he started
on his way. Passing from man to man,
the good preacher at length returned to
his seat. AS he looked towards the
President there was queer cloud on
his brow.
well, what success?" inquiries the
President

The silence was so deep that it could
have been cut up into coal-shafts. Not
a hair moved.
"Dar pears to be great moral lesson

Gardner.

THE SHIP IN PORT.

IN iONIs
AN APOsTROPHE TO THE REPUBLIC.
after the manner of Horace, Book 1st, Ode 14tt.)
Day in the cemetery at Marshalltown, Iowa. by
Rev. G. S. Percival, poet of the day.
Safe once again in port,
. vessel freighted with our hopes and fears,
Shattered and rent each spar and sail appears,
Too long of storms, the sport,
Upon the angry wave,
Far out at sea we saw thee madly tossed,
Fearing each moment we must see thee lost,
Without the power to save.
Washed to the kindly shore,
Thy hardy tars that fell amid the waves,
Anddied for thee we've laid in hOnOred graves,
To rest fOrevermOre.
And each returning spring,
To celebrate their hero-deeds of love,
Thither the fragrant tributes Of the grove.
Our weeping maids shall bring
To view thee safe again,
Our terrOr-striken hearts with joy it cheers;
For still the winds that reused our anxious fears
Are brOoding DER the main.
Cling to the sheltering shore.
The he storm St which yexed thee is not wholly past;
The breakers loudly roar.
Trust not the pilot now,
Whose reckless hand again upon the wave
OF wild commOtiOn, sure to be thy grave,
Would steer thy prov.
Brand the vile mutinecr.
Whose viper-tOngue, amid thy loyal crew,
The fatal strife and discOrd would renew
That late have cost thee dear.
Rest thee in peace awhile,
Within the haven safe at anchor ride,
Till storms are hush'd, till angry waves subside,
And skies serenely smile.
Then, with thy sails unfurled,
Thy mast erect, thy proud flag at its head,
Go forth the fruits of liberty to spread,
Ger an eXpectant world.

SWISSHELM VS.. VASSAR.
She Did Say 1t, and She Is not Ashamed
to Own 1t.

Mrs. Swisshelm recently wrote to the
Chicago Tribune as follows:
A newspaper extract which troubles
my friends quotes me as saying that
"Vassar is college with about 500 pu-
pills, principally FOOLS" Those who
think we'll of me cannot believe that I
did really say anything so wicked; but l
did, and unhesitatingly repeat it. Any
woman who Injuries her health and
shortens her life by wearing clothes
which compress the walls of her chest
and cramp her vital organs, is a fool;
for fool, according to Webster, is "a
person who is somewhat deficient in in
tellect; but not an idiot; or person
who acts absurdly, or who does not ex-
ercise his reason; one who pursues a
course contrary to the dictates OF wis
dom"
A woman who sacrifices health to cos
tune is a fool of FOOLS fool par excel
lence; and, as [ have every reason to
believe that a vast majority of the Vas
sar pupils do this, | am in duty bound
to say they are fools, according to the
definition Of the term. Moreover, their
folly is especially criminal, since their
brains have had special culture, and
one has a right to demand of them
"the exercise of reason" whereas they
set an example of atrocious folly to the
millions of other fools who have had
less opportunity of learning to be wise.

Another Teacher Gone.

Last week Miss Angie Spicer, for
three years teacher in the first prima-
ry department Of our high schools, was
married to A. B. Shipley, with whom
she departed, ON Wednesday evening, to
her new home in Faribault, MINI.
They have wed in the month Of roses;
may their life path be strown with them,
of the species blonda, which love the
sunny hills and vex not themselves and
Others with frequent singing thorns.
The local editor of this paper suggests
that l write more ''Hiawatha poetry"
but I fear time and space would fail me
in which to say all the good things our
teachers think of Angie; and besides, if
such custom were established, | should
have more than my hands full, as things
are going. Our school board talk of
preparing special diploma to award in
all such cases; when they do, I will fur
nish suitable epigram.

VOltaire and His Age.
New York Tribuna.

With all his remarkable gifts of bril-
was essentially meager and thin, never
rising to the loftiest heights of feeling
or descending to the profoundest depths
of thought. Both his moral and mental
qualities were vitiated by an incurable
taint of frivolity. His convictions ap-
pear to have been sincere; that is, he
cherished no doubt of the absurdity
which he dragged to light beneath the
mask of plausibility, but we find no ira
ces of the passion for truth, the master
sentiment which inspires the soarings of
philosophy and fructifes the vigils of
science. In this respect, he compares
unfavorably with Rousseau, whose wild
est speculations were marked by intense
earnestness, and who pleaded for his
convictions, not as the fruits of fertile
fancy, but as vital truths for the regen-
Grafton of the race. Voltaire not only
adapted himself to the spirit of the age;
he presented its most conspicuous type
and characteristic expression; he was
the apostle, and prophet, and high priest
of the eighteenth century, of which the
philosophy was restricted within the
domain of the senses, and its ethics a
cunning contrivance for the highest de-
gree Of selfish enjoyment. The present
century has opened a new era in which
Voltaire would find himself stranger
and foreigner. His influence has left
but few traces on the intellectual devel-
opment of the age; his genius for sar-
casm and mockery has grown pale before
the rising dawn Of devout earnestness,
and the profound seriousness of inquiry
which mark the researches of modern
science; and the hollow and selfish Gym
icism of his morality has been thrown
into eclipse, even by the impassioned
appeals of August Comte, who, in this
respect at least, has approached the
borders of the Christian faith, in claim
ing a regard to the welfare of our
neighbor, no less than of ourselves, as
the supreme legitimate principle of hu-
man action. The spirit of the nine
teenth century calls for guides and
teachers of different metal from that OF
Voltaire. Let the mocking specter re-
pose unmolested in the realms of shade;
let no violence be offered to his aged
bones as they rest in their laureled
though moss-grown sepulcher; but let
him not be honored as the intellectual
sovereign of the present, or the coming
age.

Shocking Burning Aocldent.-An

Shocking Burning Aocident.-An acci-

eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon, at the
residence of Mr.. ID. Freed, who resides

oil was thrown around the poor children
in every direction, setting their clothes
on fire. Ella, a little girl aged years,

her dress was in blaze. The Oldest boy
seized hold of her and dragged her out
of doors and threw her into pond of
