falacv 6fs late, that children,s

popular falacys Of late, hat children's
health and minds are ruined by too close
confinement to their books, and in pur-
suance of which, children are encourag-
ed to neglecttheir studies rather thanby
close application and hard study to be-
come familiar with branches of study
within a reasonable time, which they
otherwise skim over for years and never
master. We know of many children who
have been taught arithmetic in our grad
ed schools for five years, and who are IN
able to solve a problem in per. centage,
as long a time in grammar, who scarcely
know a proposition from a conjunction,
and who, under the prevailing system of
teaching spelling, are as likely as other
wise to misspell the simplest words.
Twenty years ago school children were
given a page Of Webster's elementary
speller at a lesson, and were required
to study it until they had mastered every
word on it. The result was that scores
of children of schoolage were able to
spell correctly every word in their SPELL
ing books and in Webster's school die
tionaries. To-day the school boy of the
intermediate grade is given TEN WORDS
for his days lesson in spelling, to be
written upon the blackboard, by which
process, il he live long enough, he may
become familiar with the longer and
harder words, but is apt, in writing, to
mis-spell the shorter and simpler words.
No one ever became efficient in any
science or profession, withouthard work,
close application and much of it. For
every child whose mind and health is
ruined by excessive study, are scores
who from its lack grow=upain ignorance
under the training and "1red tape'' sys-
tenn of our latter day teachers of advanc-,
ed ideas. |

Correspondence of the Democrat.
EIDoRaDo. Nav %. 1882.


ELDoRADo, May %, 1882.
We see in the columns of the REGIS
TER, from the correspondence of this
place, Of a racket and o "bustupo of the
old Band. We would say beware of
false prophets and those who go about
telling things that are untrue, like the
report that a few individuals are cfrcu-
lating that the Eldorado Cornet Band
is busted up, We want it understood
that the Band never was in as good con-
dition, ror never had the sympathy of
the public atlarge that 1t has at the
present time. The people of the town.
and vicinity have taken it in their
hands to look after the welfare of the
Old Band. It is true, there was an
eruption in the Band some time back,
one or two of its members having run
il for two years, and when the boys
seen that this would do no longer aud
said it should be no more, they kicked
harder and higher than q government
mule, and swore that the old Band
should be no more-it was rule OF ruin
with them. They withdrew, having a
few to follow; not enough to do them
any good, nor enough toinjure the old
Band Six of them, all told, left, leay-
ing ten of the old members to go ahead
with, the old Band, they having taken
in two new members-Lona Kimmel as
End alto player, and Fred. Behmer, jr.,
as tenor drummer, which fills up the
with Fred. Behmer, ST., as
leader, an old German musician of up
wards of twenty years. Therefore you
can see the old Band labors under no
Inconvenience from the withdrawal of
the ssrule or ruin" element that it con
tanned.
Hold, boss, you are eulchered the old
Band holds the two bowers and the
joker. FINLEY.
