method by the teacher, the means to
employ it, manifested interest on tho
part ofthe teacher, aud the adoption
Of the method to the capacity Of the
pupil. To say that any method is tho
best, is q general proposition, and only
becomes particular when the foregoing
considerations are all implied as exist
ing. If we should make the remark
that the NNOrd,and. Phonio Method is
the best method by which TO teach
reading, it would be with this view oft.
How many patrons Of the schools Of
Forest county to-day know ny what
method their children are taught read
ing, or anything else Many do not
care if the end-thc ability to read
is attained In an article very lately
published in a prominent educational
organ we found the broad statement
made that no matter how the result
was brought about so that It was ac-
complished. But does it make any
difference ? Yes; since the beginning
embodies, should, and will, if it
be proper beginning-not' only the
first steps, but all the steps in, aud
looks forward to, successful compile
ton; and we feel authorized in pro-
posing this para dox Of the subject
under consideration, that reading is
not the end of reading.
1t is not to be expected that every.
teacher is an elocutionist, properly
fiedged and fully pinloned; but every
teacher ought to be able to teach few
of the commonest principles what is
taught should be taught correctly; it
is not the time spent on ths reading
lesson, or the amount read that makes
the reader it is the h oso Of it.
The teacher should have an object
definite object-in view always, and
the teaching should be directed to the
accomplishment of that object. Some
of the important objects to be provided
for in teaching reading are culture
Of the voice an understanding OF the
lesson taken as whole, by sentences
and by words; a proper expression
Reading is not all itself, neither is it
all Of itself.
Spelling is and should be made an
auxiliary in teaching reading. Every
lesson to be studied, or recited orally
is an exercise in reading The modes
Of expression among the pupils while
at play, or in conversation can b.
made lessons in teaching reading. l
is we'll to remember that the rule'
given in our text books for reading ar
q not arbitrary they are deduced from
D what has been observed to bs th'
natural way of expressing thought II
spoken language, or what appeals t.
: the consciousness as being the natura
j manner of expression. To some he
/. been given the netural ability, largei
9 developed, of reading we'll; it is th
u exception. however and to learn well
n some authority, some guides, som
ii standard must be set IN by which t
e 90. General directions and principle
will not do; we must be specific, pal
y ticular; hence the necessity for teach
D. ing rules and their application. It
work that requires knowledge, fore
sight, patience. and persistence.

Aside from the above there is not
much new to report about the opera
tions in Forest county. In the Blue
Jay district the Connolly well on the
Wood tract is being drilled deeper
the same company is putting up a rig
on the Cooper tract, next to Green &

make a good producer.

Forest Oil Notes.

From the Derrick's July oil report
we take the following account Of de-
velopments, etc., in Forest county:
about the middle Of July Grandin
& Berry Bros. struck sand in their
wildcat we'll at Balltown. 1t is located
sixty rods northeast of their old well,
drilled several yaars ago, and which
is producing veiy small quantity OF
petroleum. In the new we'll twelve
feet of fair looking sand was found,
and ten feet Of shale. 1t made fre-
quent flows while the drill was at
work in the sand, but when tubed,
without being shot, it put only five
barrels in the tank the first twelve
hours. IT is doing six barrels daily
at present. In the vicinity Of this we'll
to the south, five other holes have been
put down. Two found shallow sand
with small show Of oil aud the others
were dry. If there is a pool or belt
here, it may extend northeast and
southwest several miles without strik-
ing any other operations, or it may
run east to the Darling we'll and west
as far as the TidiOute developments.
In the Blue Jay district three dry
holes, all finished last month, prove
how deceptive belt theories are. The
three wells are in o semicircle south
and west of the Blue Jay strikes, and
completely cut off any extension of the
field in that direction. In August an
attempt will be made to find oil to the
southeast. The only we'll completed
in the Blue Jay district in July was
the Darling No. 2. Three quarts of
nitro.glycerine was exploded in it, and
the we'll will make as good a producer
as the No. 1. 1t is located few rods
west of the latter"

No Probabilities of Election.

A dispatch from Albany, May Is, says =
There has been marked change in the stu
alton of the senatorial matter to-day. 1t
is evident that members of the Legislature
have received advices from their constituent
cies. These who on Tuesday were unprepar-
ed to express themselves have talked freely
today, and many have signed the papers in
circulation, taking position, who refused
to do so when first invited. One these papers
expresses the fullest confidence in President
Garfield and indorses his action concerning
the New York State nominations to the Uni
ted States Senate. The other declares that
the signers will not abide by the action of any
legislative caucus which nominate ConkliRg
and Plat. The first paper was signed yester-
day by many who would not sign the other;
to-day several of these signed the latter paper.
1t is claimed to- night that signatures enough
have been attached to the latter declaration
to make it utterly impossible to elect Messrs.
Coakling and Plat, and the anti Conkhng
section are exceedingly jubiant.

Wages in New England.

Some interesting facts abest prices paid to
labore-s in New England have recently been
published by Mr.. Carroll ID. Rngat, OF the
Massachusetts Rareau Of Labor and Statistics,
who is said to be careful statistieian, Ae-
eording 10 this report, in the mills OF Maine
men are paid So a week, and womea get
SIS. so, while the little children receive from
81 25 to So 40, in the wOolea mills, which
paw the largest wages. One paper mill IN
Maine paws men Sl020 week and women
50 So working seVenty-two hours week.
In New Hampshire the wages are much lower
than those paid in MaiRe, aud the operatives
are required to work sixty-six hours in the
week. In Rhode Islaad the wages are a little
higher, with sixty-six hours OF work daring
the week. In Connectiest operatives work
NINETY hours toesk-6fteeA hours a day for
six days-and the wages are 50 for men, $3.50
for women, s.. 10 for male children and 81 80
for female childrea The highest spinners
wages are So. In Massachusetts, from sixty
three to sixty.six hours of labor week are
exacted, and spinners only get Sl.0S day {;
the highest class of labor in the mills not ex-
eeeding $40 to Sl2 for the men. Many OF
these factories are run by water power, aud
much time is lost during the winter seasons
on account of freezes, and Of coarse the en-
ployes are not paid for the time thus lost.
The statistician remarks that ''long hours aRd
poorly paid labor tead to brutalize, and he
shows that one manufacturing town IN MaSsa-
chusetts supports 400 barrooms. Such is the
exhibit of gentleman who has no reason to
misrepresent things, audit presents facts which
are not creditable to the boosted civilization,
wealth and generosity of the New England
manufacturers.

The Situation at Albany.

ALBANY, n. Y, May 19.-The senatorial
situation is unchanged. The administration
republicans say they are ready to go into an
election to fill the vacancies, but will have
nothing to do with any caucus. They feel
perfectly able to defeat the return of either
Mr.. Conkliug or Mr.. platt, unless the demo,
Gratis go with the other side. Bot they will
take the chances, believing that if the demo
Gratis fuse with the Conklingites they 1.-THE ad'
ministration republicans will beat both at the
polls next fall. The ConklingiteS are strong
iy in favor of going into an election as soon as
possible. and say that Mr.. Conkling is out OF
the race, that he will not be a candidate.
The democrats are opposed to an election,
claiming that the question should be left to
the people to decide at the next election.
The probabilities are that there will be an
election without any preliminary caucus on
the part of the republicans. Gov. Cornell
aud Hon. Chauacey NJ. Depsw are mentioned
as candidates on the part OF the republicans.
