A WORD TO EDUCATORS.
BY FTMINA,

BY FEMINA.
/ use the word Educator" advised
ly, notwithstanding Gail Hamilton's
objections to it, for all teaching is not
education, and its finer and better
part is often promoted by intangible
and unintentionable influences.
First, then, let me say, that no one
can successfully teach anything in
which they are not interested them
selves, and no one can feel sufficient
interest in a science which they have
ceased to study. That is, if you con-
slider yourself entirely educated in any
branch of study, you will cease to
think of it, and take other subjects
for thought into your mind. In a
short time you will find yourself
obliged to make an effort to recall and
utilize your knowledge of it. If, on
the other hand, feeling that you have
mastered its principles, you are search
ing constantly for new methods of
expression and illustration, you will
find your knowledge and facility of
imparting that knowledge increasing.
The good teacher will also take suffi-
cient recreation to keep his mental
faculties in good condition. Good
reading, lectures, intelligent converse
ton and out of door exercise are best
for this purpose. The best of all rec
reation is change of occupation, as
from music to mathematics, and from
grammar and philosophy to botany.
The good teacher will avoid all gather
ings where dress and unintellectual
methods of amusements are the only
objects of meeting. Dances and balls
are highly objectiC lable on this &C.
count. There is something in their
atmosphere of filtration, frivolity, and
utter lack of good conversation which
is a sure destruction to all mental
growth. Indeed, think Imig hit safe
ly challenge the production of a good,
successful teacher VINO was In the naD-
it of attending them.
The good teacher will use all means
to promote his own health and the
health of those intrusted to his care.
No amount of attention to other mat
ters, no advancement of child's edu-
cation can compensate for carelessness
in this respect. No rule should be al
lowed 10 stand in the way of matter
of health for one moment. | would
like to say here, if you will excuse the
depression, that it seems to me that
more is said regarding the eating of
iuneheons at recess than the occasion
requires. My own experience has
been that it is harder to induce chill
dren to eat when they should than to
refrain from eating when they should
not. They are so fond of play that
they like TO utilize every moment
The most serious evil / know is the
habit of older pupils, especially young
ladies, to carry candy, nuts, gum, ETC.,
IN the pocket to eat at all times. This
habit of ..nibbling" is most PERM
cious one, but it seems to me to be a
case for the exercise OF parental au-
thority.
The great evil of the present system
of education is generalization. The
nearer you can treat each pupil as an
| individual, the more success you viii
have in influencing him.

The ms titution is doing noble serv-
ice in all its efforts. 1t teaches prac.

tablishes wholesome personal habits

but the Delavan school offers him so
many advantages superior TO his home
that the writer hereof hesitates not
to say that this school is beneficent
means on the whole, for the deaf to
realize truer manhood and better wo-
manhood than his home affords.
The trustees of the Institution will
not do for the dumb child all that may
be done, till drdWing is Taught.
Drawing is essentially connected with
form. The deaf child studies form err
ciusirety as means of receiving and
communicating thought. The Institu-
ton can offer no adequate excuse for
neglecting drawing as daily exercise
for the supreme purpose of promoting
intelligence-of fastening the present
processes--for the further purpose of
amusement that shall contribute to
the soul of the deaf the moral health
that music imparts to the blind or to
the congenitally perfect child, and for
the further purpose, drawing should
be taught in the Delavan school as a
means of employment to every boy
and girl that has taste therefor for
purposes of embracing the economic
value of the art of whatever kind,
that he learns in the school. The
magnificent results of drawing in
Girard College, Brooklyn Collegiate and
Polytechnic Institute and at other
schools where drawing is fostered rath-
er than tolerated, may teach the Della
van school that one boy in twenty has
decided talent for drawing and can
earn LIVELIHOOD by 1T alone, and the
other nineteen are far from blunder-
ers in this work of the right hand.
The writer has received some most
valuable lessons in pedagogics from
the exemplfcation of work at the
Delavan school, and he earnestly
recommends teachers to study that
problem from the high plain occupied
by the several teachers of that school,
to be enabled to comprehend child
thought in public schools through the
enlightenment of the superior methods
employed for the deaf.

ALBERT GRANT, sometimes known as
Barron Grant, the great English stock
operator, whom Trenor W. Park en-
ployed to work up the Emma mine
scheme, has failed, and his liabilities
are more than three millions of dol
lars. He scrupled at nothing and a
few years since corrupted the money
writer of the London Times-a thing
which had been deemed more difficult
if less dangerous than the corruption
of Judge. He was found guilty in
the English courts, of misrepresenta-
ton in connection with the Emma
mine scheme, and that was the begin
aing of his downfall.

In order to ascertain the ''true in
wardness' of Democratic United
States Senators upon the 18th, 18th
and 18th amendments of the United
States Constitution, Senator Edmunds
introduced a resolution re-affirming
the validity of said amendments and
by superior parliamentary skill sue
ceeded in bringing the question to a
vote. Every Democratic Senator who
did not vote against this resolution
was paired as one who would have
voted against it if voting thereon at
all. This is very significant ''straw
which indicates what we might ex-
pect should that party obtain control
of the executive in addition to both
of the legislative branches of the
government.

In the matter of the death of Judge
L. B. Villas, of Madison, which occur
red last week, we harbor the opinion
that our lawmakers ''slopped over" a
little. Neither the public OF private
career of the deceased was such as to
challenge the admiration of philan-
thropists or the public, and we fail to
see the propriety of any action of the
State Legislature in the premises.
Perhaps we are not inspired by a prop
er degree of sentiment.

TIE Legislature has a second time
refused to accept as a free gift for
benevolent purposes the handsome
residence and grounds rendered by ex-
Governor Washburn, situated near

decides upon a new estate Institu-

somewhere else and buy one or have it
got up to order than to let Washburn,
who has got lots of property lying
around loose, donate a thirty or forty
thousand dollar establishment for the
use of the State. The average tax

THE Supreme Court last week held
Chapter 334 Laws of 1878, which pro-
vides for the assessment and collec-

and further legislation upon this
vexed question will be required. The

great improvement in the assessment
of property for taxation and seems in
clined to work a still greater reform
in this direction.

A WASHINGTON correspondent closes
an eulogium upon Senator Howe with
the statement that he will, on the
fourth of March next, leave the Senate
after service of eighteen years, at
the age of sixty-three, without dol

true it is well that the people of Wis

the regular salary of United States
Senator during period of eighteen
years for six or eight months service
each year, and SIS, 900 ''back pay, be-

commence doing something for him
self, even though the public be de-
privcd of his valuable services.

Travelling iN Sweden.

A correspondent of the London Times,
travelling in Sweden, speaks of the gen.
eral wei -to-do condition of the country.
Each Of a dozen small towns which he
visited had its school house, its church.
its newspaper, and most of them had
their public garden; the streets were
paved and lighted with oil lamps swung
across as they were in old Paris; the
houses were trim and neat. The people
were as neat as their houses He did not
meet half dozen beggars since he had
been in the country. Even in Stock
holm ne saw no signs of poverty, while a
crowded opera-house, overfowing cafes
and brilliant shops betokened an easy op-
ulence.
There is a general level of comfort in
Sweden without any violent contrasts.
The army and navy of Sweden cost only
triHe. The national debt is only $780,
100000, and has been solely employed in
the construction of railways All the
children 60 to school, and over ninety
per cent. of the people can read and write.
The subdivision of property is such that
in the country the greater part of the
population own their own farms. Near
Gothenburg a friend pointed out from a
hill near his house forty properties, thir-
ty-six of which b long to present owners,

Ii ~ MS laSe Cat.

A citizen of Syracu who weighs three
hundred pounds has a pet cat that some
times exhausts his good nature. Last
Sunday night when he went to bed the
cat followed him to his sleeping room,
and not wishing the cat to remain in the
same room over night, he placed it in an
adj lining one, separated from his by a
partition that does not reach to the cell
ing.
Citizen and cat both went to sleep, but
at o'clock in the morning the citizen
was awakened by heavy object falling
on his face. 1t was the cat which had
climbed to the top of the partition and
jumped. Getting up, he placed the cat
in the adjoining room second time, and
went to sleep. But the cat found its way
to the top of the partition once more, and
once more it jumped squareIy down on
the citizens face, carrying two gas globes
along after it. ...a..
Then up rose the offended citizen, and
all in his sleeping robe he found his way
to the front door, cat in hand, and across
the way he threw that cat. An inno-
cent passer by was astonished, not more
by the cats transit than by the round
white and stately figure he saw in thu
pale light at the doorway.

his dress, and with the sword at his side,
entered the adjoining reception room OF
the Princess, where Mademoiselle de
Beaumont was impatiently awaited.
The scene which followed, the miHgled
confusion and joy of Nadge, the subse-
euent hilarity and masqueradiHg OF the
castle, and the particulars of the marriage
of the Marquis de la Chetardie to his fair
fellow-maid of honor, must be left to the
readers Imagination. We have room only
to explain the re-appearance OF Nadge at
Meeklenberg.
Nadge retired to her turret at the i'm
peratiye command of the Empress, sad
and troubled; but waited wakefully and
anXiously for the re-entranee of her dis
guised companion. In the course of an
hour the sound of a sentinels musket, set
down at her door, informed her that she
was prisoner. She knew Elizabeth, and
the Duchess of Mecklenberg, with an
equal knowledge of the Czarine's charac-
ter had provided her with a resource
against the imperial cruelty should she
have occasion to use it. She crept to the
battlements of the tower and fastened a
handkerchief to the side looking over the
public square.
The following morning at daylight,
Nadge was summoned to prepare for a
journey, and in an hour she was led be-
tween soldiers to carriage at the palace
gate, and departed by the southern egress
of the city, with a guard of three
mounted Cossacks. In two hours from
that time the carriage was overtaken, the
guard overpowered, and the horses
heads turned in the direction of Mos
COW. After many difficulties and dam
gers, during which she found herself I'M
