A Visit to the Schesls.

We have sometimes thought that the
exclamation, Delightful task! to rear the
tender mind, was q cruel sarcasm when
applied to the school teacher whose task
it is to toll on from term to term in rou
tine more or less prescribed; whose task
master is often an exacting constituency
which takes an interest in the work only
to condemn it when it goes wrong. Hav-
ing been to school this week, we are
able to take high moral ground in urging
other grown-up people 10 go and do like
wise, and our word for it they will come
away with a feeling of respect for the
conscientious work that is being done by
the teachers in our village schools. The
writer confesses his ignorance of modern
school methods, but he visited the schools
in the company of a gentleman who is quite
at home in school work, and who appear
ed to be as well pleased with the exhibi-
tion as ourselves. ,.....'..s.
In Prof. Marshman's department our
party listened TO very satisfactory recita-
tions in physiology and geography-not
the most interesting studies, perhaps.
In the first-named particularly thorough
knowledge of the lesson was shown, and
we incline to the opinion that most of
the students in this room, as well rs their
principal, mean business.
In the adjoining room (the primary de-
partmenD it was pleasant to observe how
the little folks took hold in their exer-
cises, as though they were playing
game. The promptness with which these
small scholars rccited their simple les
son. without drawling or stupidity. and
the zcst with which they entered into
singing, marching, or spelling alike, was
almost a revelation to their visitors.
Their teacher, Miss Aver. has plainly
found her vocation. 5..e..
Passing over from this to the other
school building we were ushered into
the intermediate department, Miss
Florence Chapman, teacher. Here we
learned the very latest in regard to the
number and boundaries of our Western
both of which are liable to he
changed by the next congress. What
most elected our admiration in this room
was an exercise in mental arithmetic,
wherein the teacher called out numbers
to be multiplied. added, divided, ETC.. so
fast that it puzzled US to see how so many
were ready with the correct answer at the
end of it all. The regular teacher of the
second primary department being absent,
her substitute was mercifully spared from
an invasion by our party. We have not
attempted a detailed report of the schools,
but hope to encourage parents and others
to visit them and see for themselves.

Challenge to = Public Discussion.


l am continually reminded by different
classes of we'll meaning people that Spir-
itnalism has no public exponents who can
hold logical discussion with the learned
theologians of Christianity on the relative
merits of Spiritualism and Christianity.
AZ have for the past ten years been rec
ognized rs public writer, lecturer and ex-
ponent of Spiritualism, Ihave determined
to test the truth of these assertions by
challenging any public writer, minister.
or theologian who is recognized as an ex-
ponent of Christianity in America to a
public discussion through the public press
OF the following propositions. viz:
l. Resolved. That Spiritualism is the
natural explanation of Immortal Life.
II, Resolved. That Christianity is the
natural explanation of Immortal Life.
1 viii take the affirmative in the first
and he negative In the seoond prUpusi-
ton. The details and medium of discus
ion to be decided upon after the accept
ance OF this standing challenge.

Correspondence Of the GAZETTE.
EDITORS GAZETTE: We have been think
ing over some of the practical questions
which may be Of interest to your readersi
and herewith present few for their con-
sideration.
No. IL. Would it be advantageous to
the politics of our Republic to have WON
en- admitted to an equality with man?
NJ. IL. What is the natural law of tenn
permental unions in marriage which will
help young people in deciding who to
marry in order to be harmoniously mated?
No. II. What changes are necessary in
our marriage and divorce laws in order
to relieve the courts aud public from so
much unnecessary legal scandal?
No. Is. Is prohibition the best princi-
pie to apply in the cure of intemperance3
No. 16. Why is Redwood Falls without
a village lyceum for the discussion of oil
questions concerning the science of life?
We suggest that a lyceum be organized
to discuss all questions without exception.
The expression OF opinion should be i'm
personal; and all voting on questions to
be abandoned as tending to unnecessarily
arouse the combativeness of the parties.
Truth can afford to stand on its own mer-
its without deciding by the voice of the
majority. which is often erroneous.

waking up. and we hope thst you. will
give US something interesting. Be care
