Advices received here recently, in
dictate a large increase of immigra-
ton from England and Germany dur
ing the approaching spring and sum
mer. The causes at work to justify
these anticipations are the wide spread
depression of trade throughout the
United Kingdom, and the gloomy
prospect of Improvement. The re-
pressive policy of the German gov
eminent will no doubt tend to swell
the number Of political refugees. The
improved condition of our American
industries will also have a powerful
influence in stimulating immigration,
especially from the manufacturing
districts of England.
Senator Voorhees, had made every
preparation to leave for Indiana sew
eral days ago, and 1t was currently
reported that he had actually started.
1t has since TRANSFERRED that kilograms
from the managers of his senatorial
canvass impelled him to defer
his departure indefinitely. 1t is
now considered doubtful whether he
goes to Indiana until after the sena-
torial election. He apparently gives
himself no concern respecting the re-
suit, and informs all inquirers that
he is as good as elected already.
Mr.. Hayes first Saturday afternoon
reception, which occurred last week,

err should look after the bodily COM
fort of his pupils, as well as their
mental discipline. The body is the
vehicle or machine through which the
mind acts, and "a sound mind IN a
sound body, should be the aim of
every. teacher and parent. Many of us
do not lay sufficient stress pure upon
air, plenty of outdoor exercise, loose
fitting and comfortable clothing, and
a generous supplyo of plain wholesome
food for our growing boys and girls.
To heed these suggestions will not
only promote health of mind and
body but economic the time of the
pupil, and supercede the necessity or
registering absence and the purchase
of balsams and drugs.

To the Teachers and Officers of
the Public Schools of
Audrain County.

GENTLEMEN: For the purpose of
unifying the work in our schools the
following programme Of study is re-
spectfully submitted for your con-
sideration, and adoption, if it meets
your approval:
/. With those just beginning, the
alphabet and primer; counting to
100; writing the digits and printing
on states.
3. With first reader; spelling the
words Of the lesson; counting con-
tinued ; adding and ~subtracting the
digite printing on states.
3. With second reader; spelling
words of the lesson; notation and
Enumeration to 1000; adding and sub.
tracing small numbers; printing or
writing on states.
4. With third reader; spelling and
defining the words of the lesson ;
spelling book; addition and subtrac-
ton continued; the multiplication
table nar.es and uses of signs of adj
dition, subtraction, multiplication,
division, equality and penmanship.
5. With fourth reader spelling +;
practical arithmetic; elementary
geography; penmanship.
a. With fifty reader; spelling /;
~penmanship arithmetic; geography
grammar history of United States.
z. Review studies of 9th, physi-
ology; element of algebra; phys.
geography. Spend at least one hour
each week in giving oral instruction
in physiology and hygiene. Devote
the last quarter day Of each alternate
week to compositions and declama-
ton. Have the spelling class to
frame the words of the lesson into
properly constructed sentences. Let
the history and other classes write
synopsis of their lessons on the black
board in which proper attention should
be given to the use of capital letters,
spelling, punctuation, elc.
All pupils above the second reader
should be taught the sounds AMI di-
acritical marks of the letters, that
they may be able to learn the pro-
nunciation of words when they see
them marked in the dictionary and
spelling book.
A PROGRAMME OF EXERCISES
should be made out the first week o.
the school and strictly followed. The
amount of time that can be given tC
the various recitations must, of course.
be regulated according to the mum
Der of classes, the number of pupils
in a class, number of hours taught
and the programme should be ar
ranged accordingly. Directors should
see that teachers keep their registers
and make monthly and term reports
as required by law, and leave a copy
of their programme for their success
ors.
This is not the best possible ar
rangement, perhaps, yet it is a plan
and if adopted by all the schools O
the county, would at least be a stel
towards unifying the work of teach
ing.
Hoping my fellow teachers vii
give the above a favorable considera
ton, and if it should not meet thei
approval, that they will suggest
better plan. | am respectfully,
