we can be mutually benefited. The
utility and value of a general and uni

to be more and more necessity Of the
times. If farmers we've organized in
associations throughout the land how
quickly efficiently they could make
their influence and power felt in the
just solutions of she telegraph and rail-
road transportation questions. Their
interests are very generally ignored in
both state and national legislation.
And even if their interests were the
chief care of professional politicians,
the Farmers Association supplies the

There is a very great increase IN
the foreign immigration to this coun-
try this year. The arrivals at New
York during April were 46, las, (which
is 3,4O5 more than during April,
1873, the largest number ever before
landed at that port in any one month.
The total arrivals at New York for
the first four months of 1880 amount
to 1892, against 22,sl4 during the
same period last year. It's expected
that even this enormous increase will
be exceeded the present month.
About 60 per cent. of this immigra-
ton is destined for the West, Min
nesota receiving the largest number.
A striking characteristic of the i'm
migration this year is the large pro-
portion of hardy young people, many
of them Scandinavians, who come
chiefly from agricultural districts,
prepared to purchase lands in the
West. &

Educational Ferces Not Confined to the
a School Room.

At the late examination of the
First State Normal school at Winona,
Judge Mitchell, after eulogizing in
eloquent terms the profession of the
teacher, placing it on footing with
the so-called learned professions of
theology, medicine and law, proceed
led to give a few suggestions from
the standpoint of an outsider. The
speaker said:
Let me caution you against taking
"a narrow and partial view of what
constitutes popular education, by
|supposing that it flows from the pub
lie school or consists mainly in what
lis impaired therein. l would not
for a moment belittlc the importance
|of that kind of education impaired
in the public school room; but /
sometimes think think that, in their
zeal and enthusiasm in behalf of the
noble cause of school education,
some professional teachers are in
danger of forgetting, if not the ex-
istence, at least of overlooking the
vast and innumerable other educa-
tional forces outside of the school
room which are at work with almost
resistless force holding individual
and national character. How often
do we hear the term popular educa-
ton" used as applied exclusively to
the fruits of the public school room.
How often do we hear sseducation'
in the very limited sense spoken of
as the panacca for all social evils.
Some, again, while admitting that
school education as now conducted
does not include all there is of edu-
cation, yet propose to enlarge and
develop the system so that it shall
include within the school room every
thing that pertains to education. But
no system of schools can ever con-
tain a 1.-THE Of the educational forces
at work in our midst. Who can
enumeratc the many mighty cduca-
tional forces outside of the school
room that are increasingly at work
molding human character? Why,
we arc being constantly educated by
the climate we live in, the food we
eat, the raiment we wear, the natural
scenery that surround us, the houses
in which we dwell, the industrial
pursuits we follow, and in the very
mechanical instruments we use in
following these pursuits.
The teacher in the school room
will most efficiently and intclligently
perform his task who most fully un-
dcrstands the force and influence of
all these mighty educational agen-
cies outside of the school room, and
which in the nature of things must
4 ever remain outside.

"Gcn. Stephen A. Hurlbut asked
in my presence the other night the

occurred within the last year or two
to bring about a change of heart
among the Southern people. l will
tell you. 1t is the exodus. As they
POLITICALLY express it, the negro is to
the white man Of the South fire in
winter and shade tree. in summer.
He is the one thing which stands
between them and hard work. And
now the negro has begun to exodust.
He don't know where he is going,
and he don't care. It is not what he
is going to, but what he is getting
away from, that interests him. Now
the negroes cxodusting means less
cotton; less cotton means less money;
less money means less to cat, and
between a mans pocket and his
