SRprEMRER ScnOOL OPEYIYG.

During this month schools of every grade re-
open all over the country, and we think we
can find in many of the prOspectuses, circulars
and other promises for the future offered by
the best of them, indications of a significant
change in both the manner and matter OF edu-
cation. Teachers are beginning to waken to
the fact that the training of child means
something more than examining his brain with
n mass of undigested facts The remonstrances
of parents and of the press have had much
TO do with convincing them of their error, and
the Exhibition at Philadelphia did its share.
II was visited by thousands of teachers, who
went there persuaded that, in whatever the
United States might be deficient, in the mat
ter of education she stood first Of all nations.
They found her surpassed in the thOroughness
and universally of her education by all the
Swiss and German States, and in the system
of teaching and appliances for it not only
by these, but by Russia, France, the
Netherlands, Canada, Sweden, Norway, and
even far-Off Japan. 0bject-teaching had been
long understood and practised in most of these
countries while we were dragging our children
over the dreary, interminable field of printed
pages which our grandfathers trOd to learn
their "humanities." They knew no other way
TO wisdom, and neither did we. knowledge,
in the new system, becomes q live thing; the
boy breathes it IN from the live world around
him, il taught to gain it by sight, by touch,
by hearing; his practical faculties of COMPARE
son, of observation, of Judgment, are sharp
ened and strengthened by constant use, as
well as his memory, imagination and reason.
In the old system, and especially as practised
IN our common schools, the single faculty
which receives full training is, perhaps, the
most inferior and useless of all, the power Of
verbal memory.
The leaven of improvement will, however,
We fear, work but slowly. In Philadel-
phia, for example, it was determined
at the September opening of the pub
lie schools to throw out the examining
system altogether, and to attempt the culture
of the thinking faculties of the children. OBJ
iect teaching was to be introduced for the
little ones They were to be taught how to
use their hands in drawing and their voices
in speaking properly how to walk, to sit, to
stand. They were to be taught something.
too, of their own bodies, and of tho world
about them, the things which they saw and
handled. The plan Of reform is an admirable
one; but the City Fathers refused the trifing
sum to buy the ppliances-beyond few
weights and measures; objects useful, no
doubt, hereafter to the boys in a commercial
light, but which do not exactly cover the
whole world of knowledge. But even City
Fathers will learn in time. The world moves
more slowly perhaps in its educational
methods than in any other path. But 1t
moves.

readers know, received diploma of honor.

The platform of the Greenback party of
Massachusetts, becomes especially interesting
10 all conservative voters, because it was
framed Immediately after the tidings of sur
prising increase of strength by that party in
Maine, and because it must be presumed that
it was virtually dictated by the ablest and
most adroit politician of that party in the
country. IL General Butler cannot set forth
the ideas of the Greenback party in such form
as to win or convince, it is not likely that
anybody else can. If those IDEAS even as
dressed and disguised by this artful politician,
are repulsive to all conservative citizens, and
threaten the public prosperity and honor, there
is little reason to hope that the acts Of those
who follow him would prove less repulsive or
dangerous, should that party gain the power.
The Massachusetts platform opens with a
falsehOOd. 1t asserts that the people arc ere
"duced 70 want and misery" for which
the old political parties offer no relief" but
that they have "legislated invariably in the
''interest of the few at the expense of the
"many, and against the interests of land and
"labor, which are the sources Of all wealth"
1t is false that the people of this coun-
try, or any considerable proportion of them,
are reduced to want and misery Statistics
of the Massachusetts, Labor Bureau prove it
false. Deposits in savings banks prove it
false. Consumption of tea, coffee, sugar, cot
ton and woollen goods, if not as great as it
has been in times of especial prosperity, Is,
nevertheless, so near the highest point ever
reached as to demonstrate that very small
proportion of the people have been compelled
to stint themselves in ordinary necessaries and
comforts and the consumption of whiskey,
beer and tobacco in like manner proves that
relatively few have been obliged to curtail their
purchases of luxuries. 1t is false, moreover,
that the Republican party, by which legisla-
ton has been controlled for many years, has
"legislated invariably in the interest of the
/" few at the expense of the many Not to
mention many other acts of undIsputed benefit

POLITICAL NOTES.

The devil is loose. and. usual the Democratic
party rejoces.
II won't be the fault Of the Democrats If the next
Congress is not worse than the present one.
If tho New-York Democrats wish TO declare war
against capital aud financial stability no Repub-
lican will object.
Why did Butler omit the usual plank against the
National banks from his platform That is the
chief part Of the Greenback creed.
The next Reform (" Presidential ticket may be

port of the Democracy Will be given to 1t.
Butler complains that the entire press of Massa-
chusetts msrepresents him. He ought not to COM
plain about it. He has already thanked God that
the newspapers didn't make him. Perhaps he viii

JudgeKelley has been renominated for Congress by
the Republicans of his district after close and

will be supported unanimously by his own party
and will also make his election sure by receiving
the entire National vote.

man not TO sec that If he consents to run for
Governor as the Prohibition candidate he will do
more than any other one man in the State. except
Butler, to help elect Butler Every vote for DIR.
Miner will be a vote taken from the Republicans,
and consequently vote for Butler.

Senator Thurman has at last been able to free his
