A valuable article on THE Discipline
Of the School," by Hiram Circuit. IL. D..
originally published by the Bureau of
Education, at Washington. has just been
re-issued by the Bureau in answer To num-
erous applications tor it. 1t contains ex-
ccllent advice and suggestions in regard
to nearly all matters connected with the
art OF teaching. The following in
regard to recitation marks as a
test Of ability has the stamp OF truth
and genuine common sense upon it /;
1.-The marking OF class recitations does
not determine the ability of the man in
future life. The brilliant scholar, who
has spent his time in comparative idleness
and looked with contempt upon the
laborious student who stumbles in recita-
ton. has often been compelled TO step
aside and see his less scholarly but more
industrious companion come up tn occupy
positions which he could not fill. Col
lege marks gave the Boosting genius a
scholarship and made him the valedictor-
ian; but the world has reversed the de-
cision and awaded the merit and the hon
or to him who has forced his way to dis
tinction and usefulness by toll and sweat
and tears. The college will never aban-
don its own marking as standard of
honorable position nor fail to withhold
merited honors from those who were not
found among its favored few in the days
of Greek roots and Latin Examinations,
Still, success in life is the only standard
of greatness and the only test of honora-
BILE distinction. The greatest man in any
sphere of action is he who has accomplish
cd the most. Good scholarship is desira-
BILE, but it sometimes happens tina. the
brilliant scholar is sadly deficient in those
manly qualities which are lhe only guaran-
tee of success in life i: common sense. I'M

ton in the shape of a cyclone, that was
the most destructive in its effect of any
storm that ever struck Southern Kansas.
II appeared to start on the head of Dutch

reetion. Its extreme length was less
than twenty miles. Even in this space
il did not make a clean swatl, for ON one
side OF a road the land might have been
swept clean, while no injury would be
done on the other side. The clouds was
in q hue, q greenish black, with fire
streaks darting through it, showing that
| il was largely electrical. 1t was not in
a hurry To do its work, but would gyrate
| to and fro, and in some instances passed
over the same ground three times; but
when il struck, death and destruction
marked its course. The centre of the
storm was twelve miles northeast OF
Winfield, at the village of Floral
Here, where it crossed Timber creek,
the water was taken from the creek and
scattered over field and forest; the
leaves were withered by the heat OF
the fire. Great trees were taken out by
| the roots, and what but a few hours be
fore marked happy homes and fields ol
| grain harvested, are now indicated by
| The debris of houses and out buildings
and piles of straw that line the hedges
Floral presents the saddest picture
