describes in his g Toilers ofthe Seal
w. J. NJ. AMI myself were soon
able to see the principal sights of the
island and We're not long in finding
ourselves on the magnificent Coupee,
the glory ofthe Channel Islands. 1t
gives me a strange sensation 10
stand on the narrow neck of land,
which is about two hundred yards
long, and as | have before stated,
joins the two Sarks. Looking down
on either side one sees the waves
come dashiug in at the foot Of an
almost vertical cliff, about three
hundred feet in height. 4 few
more years of the oceans beat-
ing on each side and this connecting
link will have been worn away, and
Little Sark become as desolate and
lonely as It's own forlorn silver mine.
We waited quite an hour at a sub
stantial lunch at DIxcart's hotel, for
the voyage and the bracing air Of
Sark had given US such appetites that
we could not tear ourselves away be-
fore. | fancy cold roast beef, pickles,
cheese and Bass ale will never taste
sowell again. When we came out it
was raining in that pleasant seaside
fashion, which is an inducement to
stay out of doors, and as we saunt-
cred around the island, gently exer-
cising the curiosity of the people and
looking with artistic eve on the little
granite cottages half hidden in
fuehsias, | could not but think of
the number of letters | had read
describing just such a stroll, and Of
the number Of pictures | had seen
representing just such scenes as we
We're passing through. "A Wet Day
at Sark, > Fishermen's Cottages at
Sark.' Sunday at Sark and such
subjects, whether in print or on can
vass, will in future have great
interest for me-
The first painting Of Safk scenery
| ever saw was at the first Chicago
Exposition.
The Sergneurie is the feudal castle
of the little island, and charming
group of buildings it's, surrounded
BY very pretty grounds, in which
many handsome trees and shrubs
abound, the hydrangea especially
dourishing, and Just now covered
with flowers. We sat under the
shelter Of a large tulip tree for an
hour or SO, looking at the exquisite
view Of the sea and the distant
islands, a little cannon, presented by
Queen Elizabeth to the Seigneur of
the island at that time, staring us III
the face. There did Mr.. McNa-
mat ira accent on the maw) of the
g good old County Clare family"
but intensely English in all other
narrate many a tale, and
together we compared "reminiscences,
he doing me the supreme honor of
me that | had the least
8 twang Of any Yankee he had
ever met. By the time This climax
was reached we came to the conclu-
sion that unless we wanted to stay
at Sark for an indefinite time we
had better hurry down to Slsc boat
1t was really raining by this time,
and when we had got to the har-
Dor, and had been rowed out, we
found the steamer decidedly damp,
and tossing about in The foam
ing pillows in a most suggestive
way. Suffice it to say that every
ones fears were realized. the trip
back took over double time, nearly |
every one was i'll, and many times
did the waves natten us on the
deck and pour down our necks.
Nevertheless, w. ] NJ. said Sark
was worth it all, and 50 says

The Republican Candidate for SEN
atOr.

EDITORS l)EMOCRAT.-1l reading q
recent issue of the Arena Star we
were very much surprised to see
that VIM. c. Meffert, of the town of
Arena, was nominated by the re-
publican convention for state senator
of this district, and we were still
more surprised on reading the article
by the editor in bringing him forth
as its (the Stars candidate He
says: Arena feels satisfied and hon
ored, that one of her old stand-bys
IS nominated for so high a position.
If reports are correct, great
number of republicans of the town, if
not majority, are dissatisfied with
the choice of that convention, and
would much rather a candidate had
been chosen whom they could sup
port We have met Mr.. NJ. several
times, are somewhat acquainted with
him, and learn that he is one Of the
most unpopular men in his own
town. 1t has been asserted that he
could not get the nomination for
town office, much less get elected.
We know that he is as unpopular
throughout the county, where he is
known, as at home. The Star fur
ther says: She (Arena) will never
have to blush for the conduct and
committals Of her chosen represen-
tative" We hope not; but if he
is elected, he will have to get his
votes where he is little known.
Further, we are satisfied that he is the
candidate of a clique and not Of the
people. 1t is generally believed
that the whole thing was cut and
dried by the Richland county dele
gates before the convention. If we
are rightly informed, he only got
one vote out of the twelve in this
county, and that two votes was the
highest number he obtained at any
time out of thirty-six ballots.
Probably the Richland county dele
gates gave him their votes for ser
vices he has rendered or expects to
render And then we are informed
by the Star that /" He has war
record" Ugh! Many Of Us were at
the war, and have a war record. :"
\ great pity we can't all have an
office. Then we are told He is a
man Of ability, and we are also told
that if his speech on accepting the
nomination is to be an index Of his
future, it will be 4 glorious one, and
that If sent to the legislature this
county will not feel ashamed Of
him. Lastly, He has moral char
acter that will resist any unworthy
attacks that he would receive in any
official capacity We don't know
about that, we are afraid to trust
him. We are satisfied he is not the
working-man's friend, but is in
sympathy with the moneyed men
We hope to See him defeated in
November If the democratic party
should nominate some good, reliable
man, he viii get our support Our
object in writing this article is to
give the voters of this district an
idea of what the republican nominee
Of this district is. 1t is a shame to
put up such men. We might be
hard up for material of the right
kind, and probably that is the reas-
or the Star and the republican press
are polishing him up to make him
shine as bright rs possible. We
learn that the editor of the Star is
an intimate friend of Mr.. NJ. That
accounts for this send off. If he
knew him as well as we do, he
would probably change his opinion.

That there arc imperfcctions in
the graded system no one knows
better than its strongest advocates.
No ono secs more clearly than the
discriminating teacher that what is
designed to secure the highest wei
fare Of the many must lead in some
cases to the sacrifice of individual
interests. Where the grading is
rigid, rs III the larger towns, the boy
or girl whose tastes and mem tai con-
stitutlon prompt to undue eNertlon
in certain branches and neglect Of
others, must suffer as well as occa-
sion inconvenience. Failure to all
vance with the class in such cases
results i'll Encouragement, and event
ually in withdrawal from school.
Again, the class Of pupils who can
attend school but a part Of the year
find themselves ut constant disad-
vantage. They cannot progress with
those who attend through the year,
AMI ut each return to school they
find themselves elaSsed one grade
lower, and ready to 10 again the
work they did when last in school.
Added 70 the Encouragement in
such cases is the feeling of humilia-
ton always experienced by young
persons when they are compelled to
associate with those younger and
smaller than themselves.
The tendency Of rigid grading, it
will be seen, is to exclude from
school privileges those whose mental
constitution is any way peculiar. and
those who cannot be constant in
their attendance Further than
this, through the incentives it offers
to uninterrupted attendance and the
disadvantages TO which it subjects
those who for any reason have failed
to retain a position with those OF
about their own age, it tends toward a
forcing process and the administer
ing Of mental pabulum of kind
unsuited to the age Of the pupils.
These are the worst evils Of the
system. But they exist only where
it is characterized by inhexibility
and their removal is not impossible
wherever they may be found.

There could certainly be few
stronger testimonials to the value Of
the graded school than this effort on
the part of the foremost teachers to
introduce it throughout the state.
No plan can be expected to escape
criticism in this age, nor should its
friends desire this. That the present
modes of grading schools and fixing
courses of study should receive q
share is by no means strange, nor
altogether to be regretted. If pres
ent methods were never questioned
better ones would never be reached.
1t is manifest, however, that any
change that may be wrought through
exposure of the defects of systems
now in vogue will not consist in u
return to the practices of long ago:
their deficiencies have been made
apparent, and in Il measure RENE
died, and there is little inclination to
restore them. Revolutions do not
move backward.

Quoted by J. II. Terry. Principal of Mineral
Point Public Shoots
GRADED SCHOOLS

W. Unveils. formerly superintend-
'ent ofthe Chicago schools, has defined
a graded school as zone in which
the classification is based on the
attainments of the pupils, and all the
members Of each class are pursuing
the same studies at the same time. .
Tested by this definition, the strictly
graded schools would be found to be
comparatively few, and chiefly con-
fined to the larger places. A very
fair example Of this class of schools,
though not a perfect type, is fur
nished in the old-fashioned New
England college as it existed before
modern innovation transformed it
into university.
1t becomes Obvious after a little
thought, that the classification Of
schools is the result of effort TO
economic time both for pupils and
teacher. 1t is the middle course
between two systems, the crudity
and lack Of economy of each Of
which are apparent at once: first,
that in which the teacher would
seek to administer to the needs of
each learner as an individual; and
Sc cond, that which would teach the
school en- masse, disregarding all
differences of age and attainments.
T he graduation Of the school aims at
still greater economy by fixing the
period for the study Of each particu-
lar branch OF specified part Of it, and
more symmetrical development Of
the mind of the learner by a judi
cious coordination of the various
studies. In the larger schools this
5 ystem has something Of the effect
Of developing skill secured by the
division Of labor in the factory.
Such being the objects sought in
the graduation Of schools; and 50 large
a degree of success having resulted
from their establishm ent i'll the
centers Of population, the conviction
has grown upon many that it is
possible to introduce with profit
some Of the features OF the graded
system into the mixed schools Of the
country districts.
Urged on by this conviction. the
leading teachers of the state have
and through the active
cooperation Of the state superin-
tendent distributed and recommend
ed for adoption, course Of study
for this class Of schools, together
with such suggestions as are neces-
sary for adapting it to them The
scheme has grown i'll importance,
until to-day it stands first in i'm
portance among the subjects that
the attention Of persons
il the education Of the
masses.
