State, as Nevada is called by patriotic
stump speakers before elections, was
admitted into the Union for the express
and exclusive purpose of making Sena-
tors of James w. Nye and William NJ.
Stewart. The people of Humboldt coun-

ton of becoming State, but Storey
county favored them, and Nevada,
with $4,000 inhabitants, was made a

thus keeping the liver from becoming torpid.

A MUCH NEGLECTED STUDY.

A correspondent OF the Lansing Republican
writes as follows upon the above topic:
While the art OF reading is considered by all
rare accomplishment, it is at the same time
one OF the most neglected Of branches taught
in our schools. Some one says, why, the very
first thing child is taught Is to read - Say.
rather, they are taught the names OF the letters,
to name at sight single letter or combination
of letters forming words and sentences. The
intellect is at the same time trained to compre-
hend the sense or meaning OF tho words and
sentences, but the voice, which acts as uter-
prefer, is entirely neglected. Nor can this he
overcome for some time, for tie majority Of
those employed at present az teachers are about
as ignorant on this subject as the scholars
themselves. 1t is very common thing to hear
ladies' and gentlemen who have been teachers
FOR years say: II know nothing OF the art OF
reading save what L was taught IN my child
hood. When l went to college, bat little at
tention was paid to the subject, aud / regret
daily ny inability In teaching my reading
classes"
Principals and superintendents frequently
ignore the fact that reading Is a neglected
study. When pressed on the subject they say,
reading is apt to become an initiative study !;
besides our teachers have neither time nor
knowledge to allow them to take up the study
The voice OF the people will not allow them to
place special teachers IN the schools, and an ell
ocutonst would set the scholars crazy; they
would be stage-struck in three months. Special
lists try to make everyone think that theirs ls
the only branch worth knowing
No true teacher would make this last asser-
ton, and principal or superintendent who adj
vances such excuses proves conclusively how
limited Is his own knowledge OF the subject
The science and art OF expressing thought and
feeling by utterance and action is study
worthy the attention OF all. AS a science it
unfolds the principles OF reading and speaking !;
as an art it embodies in delivery every accom-
plishment both of voice and action necessary
to appropriate expression. The poor delivery
OF the majorlty OF ministers. lawyers, and lect-
urers 10 the result Of the Indifferent manner in
which this branch is taught in the schools and
colleges of our land. Every convention that
convenes and every meeting where large
number OF persons are assembled, furnishes a
fitting text for sermon on this subject.
