OF PEDAGOG UES

Iowa county, of all grades, sexes and
conditions, assembled for the intel
Iectual feast at the capital the

self to the Court House. Though
this room did not furnish all conven-
fences. yet it furnished the impor-
tant one of allowing teachers aud
conductor the privilege Of seeing
each other clearly on account OF the
elevated seats. This gathering of
'fair women and brave men" was in
teresting, cheerful and social. 1t was
productive Of acquaintance, culture
and recreation. Our teachers are
fast recognizing the fact that teach
inc-the art Of arts-lemands at
tention, and that every opportunity
presented for acquiring practical
knowledge in pedagogues should be
eagerly grasped. Fortunately this
is the case with the intelligent class
Of teachers, but, unfortunately, all
the worst class studionsly avoid such
crucial tests of knowledge, lest, ac
curding to the eternal nature OF
things, exposure of their acquired
ignorance would send them further
on to perdition. Such teachers are
an injury To the cause Of education,
and a distinct outrage on the plastic
mi ds Of the youths Of our country.

The Teachers Institute, peculiar to
Wisconsin, is the greatest movement
known In the interest of the instruc-
tor, System is the greatest element
OF success, aud the teachers of the
county are gradually, by teachers of
more culture, discipline and higher
education, steadily approaching tho
best improved methods of instruc-
ton. The syllabus for the Institute
marks ont course of only those stu
dies taught daily in common school.
1t must needs be short and concise
for course of two weeks, but the
best conductors are secured who
present the system in the most skill.
fn mnnner, that years of study and
experience in the profession alone
will ere .te. We anticipate much
too little attention is paid to instruc.
tlcn aud education by both teacher
and school patron. The teacher sad
" neglects his culture and qualiflca-
tlons, the patron, through circum.
stances or sympathy, allows the first
"nntntored aboriginal to take sn.
preme charge OF his brightest child
his highest hopes. The teacher
moulds the little plastic minds as the
potter moulds his clay. Our bows
aud girls are miniature men and
women destined to hold the helr OF
power in the future, social, civil and
political. The manner in which u
will be held depends upon the man.
her OF training given. No right
minded man can allow his own flesh
and blood grow to manh ood in gross
est ignorance in land where liber-
ty and independence is the boast of
every man and woman. Self-made
and thoughtful men are the pride Of
America, but they have always been
men who seized with intense eager
ness every opportunity.
The length Of the Institute, two
weeks, We think appropriate. Its
daily work has been full of intoi est
and benefit, aud productive of re-
suits far beyond expectations w.
predict now the regular fall re, srn
OF this fountain of knowledge"
from which the poor, way-tariag
pedagogne can draw a never. falling
supply. AS an inducement TO attend.
the Questions for county examina-
tons were chosen from themes dis
cnssed during the session. The In-
stitnte was In charge of President
McGregor, of Plattevile Normal
school, who needs no introduction.
Wisconsin knows him and his work
by heart. Mr.. Richmond, Superin-
tendent of Green county, was his
associate, who acquitted himself we'll.
Two lectures were delivered during
the session. Supt. Whitford dehv-
cred one on Education the first
week, and Prof. McGrcgor favored
US with his able and popuar lecture
on Robert Burns, the Bard OF Scot
land"
Our schools arc gradually being
brought to system aud plan from tho
confusion OF other years, by Supt.
Jouss, who has labored with tue ut
most fidelity to make our schools
rank with the best in the State. He
is accomplishing this 10y Institutes
and insisting upon it that teachers
must educate themselves before they
are able to teach. Under no super
intenoent have the schools assumed
a more favorable aspect than under
the atle manner of Mr.. Jones. The
hospitality of the Dodgeville people
was commendable to the utmost de-
gree, receiving the teachers among
them as those of their own family.

THls part Of the country needs
rain very much. 1t has been trying
to rain for several days, but up to
the present writing the effort has
not been a great success. We learn
from the country, in all directions,
that the pastures are literally drying
up, that wells and cisterns are giving
out, and that young shade and fruit
trees are dying by the hundreds -
All for want of moisture. There
has been but little rain in this region
for over six weeks.

excite only ridicule among sensible

than true, the insigniflcance of the

to merit no consideration from any
one qualified to vote. That the
Democratic guns are trained on such
small game is the best evidence Of

AN Argyle correspondent of the
Darlington Republicaa sends in the
following narrow guaga item :
"Several years ago man by the
name of Baldwin gathered the wise
men together at Dodgeville, telling
them that he had seen signs, and
that something was sure to come to
pass, and that he wanted them to
form company and stand godfather
to it, and they agreed to do so.
And in the eXhurbance of their Joy,
and to save time, they named it,
the "F. l.. & ID. N. g. R." But it
has died or, rather, it has failed to
be oorn or, in fact it has failed to
be misconception Tread lightly,
for the promised little N. q. r. r.
has gone where the woodbine twin
eth, and the wall of the whangdoodle
is heard all along the line from
Freeport to Dodgeville.'

REPUBLICANS REMEMBER, the
County Convention to be held at
Dodgeville on the l2tn, and let the
proper committees in each town see
20 it that primaries are called and
delegates chosen.
AS yet we hear of no other name
than VIM. A. Jones, for County
superintendent, but there may be
others before the convention. From
good Democratic authority we hear
that there is strong disapproval in
that party of placing any candidate
in the field to suffer the certain de-
feat that awaits any opponent of Mr..
Jones.
1t seems the committee did not
contemplate nominating candidates
for Assemblymen by this conven-
ton, though many see no reason
why it might not have been done,
and the holding of Assembly District
Conventions thus saved.
