president GARFIELD's ideas of civil
service reform seem to have been
modified by tie strong pressure
brought to bear upon him. Com
missioner of Pensions, j. 4. Bentley,
was last week removed for no other
reason than To make a vacancy for
United States Marshal Dudley, of
Indiana. No one, except claim agents,
took exceptions to Bentley's admins
tration of the affairs of the Pension
Bureau, and their opposition to him
was based on the fact that he resisted
their attempts to defraud the govern
ment. 1t begins to look little as
though Garfield made a better con-
gresham than he will make presi-
dent.

A Test.

One of the best tests Of the value of
a pupils studies, is his ability to con-
tinue those studies by independent
investigation. A leading American
educator has said that ''the fruit OF
education is the desire to learn;" and
it never ought to be forgotten that the
pupil is not well educated if he has
nothing better to chow than a mind
stored with facts. That education is
the best, which leaves in the mind a
constant desire to gain new knowledge
and gives it power to use its abilities
to good advantage.

Report of the Teachers meeting,
held at Esdaile, June 18th:
The meeting was promptly called to
order. at 10 A. NJ, by the president of
this division. The chairman made the
following appointments: Miss Matte
Holt, Secretary pro TEN; Mr.. L. j..
McAndrews, critic for the forenoon.
The exercises of the day opened with
a song, 1.-THE Harvest Time is Passing
By" by the Esdaile choir. The sing
ing was fine. Mr.. 7. J. McAndrews
introduced the subject of "elocution, )"
and fully convinced those present that
this branch of education is too much
neglected in our common schools; he
also gave examples of his method OF
teaching this study, to-wit: Have the
pupils learn the definition of Quality,
Pitch, Force, ETC., then practice on
selections that have been written on
the board for this purpose, etc. Mr..
A. Rosenberger spoke at some length
on the topic, ''Reviews and Examlna-
tiOns." He took the ground that
frequent reviews are necessary, as by
means of much repetition, looking at
a subject from all sides, finding the
relation that it sustains to what pre-
cedes and follows it, is the true way
to become familiar with it and feel
that we possess it.
Song by choir.
There being a few minutes to spare.
Mr.. McCleary gave very interesting
exercise in the Geographical Game.
After which Mr.. o. E. Rice presented
the subject, ''Teacher's Outfit.
Among other things, he thought that
the first requisite is natural ability.
Then the teacher should have good
reference books, but with the low
wages now paid in many localities. it
is not possible for the teacher to
secure them.
Song by choir.
Critics report was read.
Noon, intermission.
The meeting being called to order
at 100 P. NJ. by the president, the
afternoon exercises were opened with

There is q growing disposition on the
part OF the public to shirk the duty Of u n
ming with the machines" in case Of =
fire. This should not be SO. Every good
citizen should take hold Of the ropes. No
doubt the companies would gladly perform
all the work requisite, but their carts are
heavy and the men are generally scattered
about town when the alarm il struck /;
hence the few that are on hand find it diff
cult to move the trucks as the occasions
call for. This was the case Yesterday
morning with the Knicks, who were strug-
Cling along the street with their last
breath. while q hundred loafers crowded
the sidewalks laughing At their efforts. 1t
is every mans duty to assist the firemen in
their noble work. Those who fail to do so
when the occasion presents itself cannot
DO considered good citizens.
