SPEAKING WITH AUTHORITY

What concerns the schools of the Statt concerns every teacher in the State, ana what concerns them 1t Is their duty tu consult about and decide. Associations of teachers are organized for the pur- pose of mutual conference and con certed action. Representatives of col leges, normal schools, high schools, in- stitutiOns, city schools and county schools, when they meet, are well quail fed to decide what will best advance the educational interests of the entire State. They should SO decide and recommend with wisdom and authority what will be to the greatest advantage of the entire community. IT III the past the results of their action have not been received with much acceptance by our State legislatures 1t Is their own fault. Teach CTS constitute an educational aristOcracy we use the word in its primitive sense.
 Education in all its branches IS their business, to which they have given tbeir intellectual strength and the years of their lives. No persons should be more attentively heard or more carefully fol- lowed. Tie habit has become some what general to treat teachers as serv ants, to come and to go, rise up and sit down at the command of those whose minds are on other things; whereas the people ought to be the servants of the teachers. They should say how long schools should remain open and who should teach in them. It should be for them to regulate terms of admission in 10 their own profession, and the amount of pay to be received. To them should be committed, as to permanent board, all matters pertaining to that which they know more about than anybody else Outsiders are theorizers; insiders are practicers. Let the teachers themselves decide and Ordain. and the world will be astonished at the improvement. Econo- my and efficiency will fOllow.-Educa- tion Monthly.

The first effort of a primary teacher should be to have a busy school keeI the children employed-pleasantly en- ployed-and they will be good.
 The instinct to keep the thoughts and limbs at work IS born in the child; d anguid, hstless little one, must be phy slcally as well as mentally diseased. YeI children do not love work in the form Oi set tasks; this IS because they love va rlety in their employment, and also be- cause the rebellious nature, common to nuhanity, does not like the sense of be Ing compelled to perform tasks, be they difficult or easy.
 But how hard child will work at his play. His mind Is now amused; if his work would give him like mental stImu- us, 1t would be play to him. This, then, Is the task of the primary teacher, L, keep her children at work, and yet make t play for them.
 This IS the object of the Kindergarten gifts and plays. Each is a task at which children must work consistently for b specified time; their efforts yield plaiI, and useful result and by them th, children learn something, or acquir, some kind of skill; and yet this task, giving all the important results of work, Is by the plan teaching made to em 60 the child a kind of delightful play ', which employs his restless limbs OI fingers, and amuses his eager little mind.
 Every teacher of a primary school should have some kindergarten mate rial, blocks, balls for counting. inter lacilg strips, &c. There are few schools so poor that some few things of this kind cannot be purchased, and when secured, it must be a very poor teacher who cannot make good ana effective use of them.
 In keeping the children busy with out wearyirg them, these appliances will tighten the teachers labors to a wonder iul extent, and add infinitely to the hap mess of his pupils.

While Douglas was faithful partisan and a successful politican, he was a great statesman, profound and sagac- lous leader, and one who was above all the petty, scurvy tricks of modren Seua- tors; and no man respected and loved him more than Daniel Webster. all though they were the antipodes of each other. single instance to prove this, and have done. Soon after California was admitted 1 was in the State Depart ment with Fletcher Webster, Charles March and Secretary of State Webster, when the latter said to me in his care ful yet godlike manner, "YOung gentle man you know Senator Douglas well, my son tell me" "Yes, SIT" I replied, "bet- ter than any living mau. He was my schoolmate, my fri nd, and will do for me anything l will ask him" "Well," said he, hesitating and blushing almost, "President Fillmore has sent in all the Federal appointments for California and my friends are disappointed. They are not properly cared for. l shold like to have action on these and right them" !" "Very we'll" I replied, Il will see Doug las, and your wish shall be gratified." That evening, about II o'clok, went to Douglas room, found him just going to bed, l told him Webster's wishes, got carriage by his orders, and went with hum to see Dr. GwIn, then United States Senator from California Douglas t.ld him our wishes, and the Doctor, a won derful man then and nov, took all the California appointments into his own hands, suspended tnem all for weeks, compelled Fillmore to change and re- call some, and alter others, and the Sec retary of State and his friends were all well satisfied. While Douglas was true to his own party, he was true always to his friends; was a most manly, nuble and great-hearted man, who fidelity to our country, our UnIOn, and our Nation never faltered or wavered.

A recent Chicago dispatch says that 1t has been rumored for some weeks that several roads in the Colorado Traffic Association were not carrying out con tracts at the cut rates made last J qnuary. When accused, these roads defended their action on the ground that contracts were made in the Eastern lines. It is now stated that, recently, number or these contracts have been renewed and extended to September lst. In this connection 1t Is alleged that the Chicago and Northwestern has contracted with Colorado parties and has guaranteed that freight shall not be more than six days in transit between Chicago and Denver This arrangement is supposed to be in connection with the Union Pa cifc It is also charged that the Bur lingt0n has contracts to carry the bulk Of wool and hides from Southern Colo rado and New Mexlco until September lst. It IS understood that this is by an arrangement with the Denver and Rio Grand ,,vhich has been heretofore op- eraied in connection with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, and war between the latter roads is predicted as a result of the alleged new combination.

Dr. Spear Is in his 10th year, and although nearly blind from the excessive use of his eyes through the studiOus hab- its, he Is tolerably well preserved phys ically. He managed with admirable tact to keep his cOurtship secret, and 1t was only through te request that he made of the Rev. Dr. Bolton to preform tho marriage ceremony, and who an- nounced the fact to the F. E. convention that the ancient loves entanglem, mt with Cupid became public property. 1 he intended bride IS a Miss Thomas, Of West Chester, who comes of an excel lent family, IS on the wintry side of life, although considerably younger than the proposed groom.

The marriage IS ex- pected to take place early next month. lt IS said that he has grown tired of life m pubic institution, and yearns again for the qulet domestic treside. He IS a widower.
 While the marriage of Rev. Dr. Spear will attract attention on account of his age, that of Rev. Dr. John B. Clemson, of Claymont, Delaware county, ought 10 attract much more, since the latter k said to be considerably older. Dr. Clemson is S0 years of age, and has al- ready had three wives. His marriage is announced tO take place at Claymont on June 15, and 1t will be celebrated in English style. The intended bride is Miss Hannah Gibbons, of West Chester.

THE Virginia Enterprise gives the sen timent of political affairs in Nevada as follows: "There is not much comfort for the Democracy in the election news from Oregon. The return of NJ. c. George. the Republican candidate for Congress, is conceded by an increased majority. In 1880 Oregon gave a ma jority Of 764 for the Garfield Electors
 On Monday last the Republicans car ried the Statr by a majority estimated at 500. So it appears that there wat absolutely nothing in all the wild talk about Republican detection on account of President Arthur's veto of the frst Chinese bill. It will be the same in Cal ifornia and here in Nevada. There will
 be no decrease of the Republican vote on that score, and the more the Democ- racy persevere in the attempt to keep the Chinese question in politics, tie worse it will fare at the polls.

FEE lawless element is creating a very bad reputation for Tucson. Mur- derers and incendiaries who walk the streets unwhipped of justice are not calculated to inspire confidence abroad ID the ability of the authorities to pre- serve peace and maintain the laws. It is time the iron hand of the law lay its re- morseless grip upon this turbulent element, and assert its dignity here as elsezhere.
