We have been led by reading some
articles in the Teachers b.Si.i,d>, which, by
| the wAy, Is arst-clAss educational journal,
10 compare the different methods Of teach
ing adopted BY different teachers. With
perhaps majority Of the teachers in our
common schools the great end aud aim Of
their teaching is the acquisition, on the

out 10 tie least teaching the pupil to think

Of all instruction. On this po.nt We quote
from tie journal referred to-

itself 70 new ends. Its ends are the i'm.

A faculty is that which is capable Of doing

Of moral yJiras aud physiological fnic-

sought IN Intellectual exercise Is Intelligence

power is quite consistent with ignorance Of
enough matter TO I'll several cyclopedias,
General intelligence is not omniscience.
Rational teaching has even use for igno-
rance. knowledge is something when

as an end Judcious exercise embraces

We have been permitted to make the
following extract from private letter:
FsRRELs T. o., WYOMING,
Marrh lGth 1871.


March 10th, 1881.
From all parts of tho country come such
doleful accounts of this severe winter, with
| its train OF accidents, misfortunes and suf-
ferings, that take my pen with great re-
luctance to add another testimony. i
am myself in good health, thank Heaven,
but Maggie and Mary have been compelled
to take to the bed with colds and soro
throats Ny school is nearly broken up
with the same complaint. A distressing,
and MS yet not fatal, form OF this disease is
more widely spread than has ever been
known here before. 1t attacks all ages
alike and threatens to becomean epidemic.
/ sincerely hope and pray that it may as
sumo no malignant type such as diphtbe-
ria, scarlet fever or the like, but | must
confess that it is hoping against hope UNI
less this bitter winter is not soon broken.
1t has been bad enough to witness the
severe losses sustained by the ranchmen in
cattle, sheep and horses. What would be
the effect OF an epidemic among our scat
tered and scanty population, dread to
contemplate. When this month came in
it was lamb-like enough to satisfy the most
chronic grumbler; two weeks OF our usual
pleasant spring weather inspired our most
Respondent with hope. But for four days
past winter seems to have returned again
with most unpromising signs Tor this sea
son. The green grass that had commenced
growing aud which with the aid of clear,
warm sunlight was rapidly recuperating
the wasted energies OF our nnsheltcred
stock, has received Sudden check; and
again ! see, each morning on my lonely
two mile walk to my school house, cat le
down to die, and there is no remedy
save period Of pleasant weather. Riding
last Sunday along the road to Sheep
mountain ] counted. in distance Of one
mile, "A heal OF dead cattle, dead in sight
Of the road, and no one knows how many
more are in the brush along the Little
Laramie river, where they were driven for
shelter only TO find death from suffocation
in tho drifting SHOWS or still more ter
rable death by SLOW starvation. The brush
on the rivers usually furnishes sufficient
shelter, bu, this year shelter could be
found nowhere excep; ia sheds and barns,
and such could not be had. nor could the
stock business sustain the expense OF such
sheds and barns even could this disastrous
season have ls,sen fort seen. &, II. d.
