The Baldwin Bulletin recognizes the
fact that sooner or later the Republi.
can party must commit itself to the
cause of Prohibition if it would maiG-
tain its ascendency, and says: "We
are in favor of the Republican party
in st. Croix county coming to the
front and making the Issue squarely
at their next convention, by ilqqrsllg
as a party measure, in this county,
the submission of the prohibition
amendment and nominating only such
men, especially for the assembly, az
will work earnestly and faithfully to
secure the submission of this amend
ment to the people" The editor Oh
the Bulletin has been in the legisla-
ture and knows what ne is talking
about when he says: 1T is an open
secret. that when this measure has
been before the legislature it has been
arranged that certain persons. repre-
senting localities where there was a
strong temperance element should IA
yor its passage, taking care that there
should not be a sufficient number to
carry the measure. The time has
come that only such men should be
elected to the legislature as will not
only vote for it. but work for 1t. and
will stand ready to expose all the
stratagems resorted to to deceive and
defeat the will of the people"

SsSsS
MAINE, as well us Pennsylvania, has
an Independent Republican party.
The Blaine Machine in Maine is much
like the Cameron machine in Pennsyl-
vania, and there are good many Re-
publicans all through the country who
are getting tired of the prevalence of
machine methods. The Independent
Republicans of Maine have adopted a
platform admirable alike for it's terse-
ness and tho prlnRlples LAID down,
which reads as follows! "lst--Th0r.
ough and systematic reform in all
branches of the civil service. 3D.
Faithful execution of the laws in all
parts of the State. including the liquor
law and laws for the observance of
the Sabbath, having temperance with
out hypocrisy, and prohibition with
out drunkenness. 3d--Strict economy
in the expenditure of the public mon
ey and consequent reduction of taxes.
4th=-0pposition to machine politics,
boss rule, political assessments, brib-
cry, and fraud in controlling elections
and conventions. Unless the ma
chine politicians of Wisconsin shall
become a little more tolerant it is
merely question of time till such an
organization will be perfected in this
State,

think teachers can do much toward
interesting pupils if they will not
stick too closely to textbooks. For
example, take the spelling books used
in this county, if a teacher does not
occasionally ''make up a list of words
i'll common use for his pupils to spell,
they will never have any practice at
school in this class of words for the
textbooks generally omit them. In
reading, much good can be done by the
teacher bringing news papers to school
and having the pupils read therefrom.
In arithmetic let problems not found
in the books be OFTEN given, as this
will stimulate the pupils to active, &C.
urate work, besides doing away with
the weak practice INDUCED in by some
of always looking at the book to see If
the answer is correct. Much work
done outside of the textbooks in all
studies will help largely in school work.

Recollections of My Early School-days.
The first day that went to school
went with another little girl, and
thought it would be very nice.
But when | REACHED the little old
school.house, withouta sign of black
board. and with low, STRAIGHTFORWARD
seats, and black, smoky walls | then
changed my mind.
The teacher looked very cross, or at
least thought SO. At last she called
the school, to order and after a few
minutes she oane up to me and asked
Inc if | knew my letters and | told heI
that | did not.
So finally she called me out and
taught me the name Of the first letter
after which I went hack to my seat.
Before night came l began to get
tired, and SO I commenced whispering
with ny seat mate.
The teacher hearing it, called US
out and told us to sFand there until we
could behave ourselves. | thought
that was the worst thing | had ever
heard of.
Thus school closed for that day but
was not sorry. | went home and told
mother that | never wanted to go to
school again. did 60 the next day,
but only because | was forced to go.
There were number of dreadfully
mean boys that attended our school,
who would try all in their power to
bother us,
| remember one day in particular,
the feather told us we might go out
and play if we would not make noise
around the school-house.
So we went back of the house to
play, but presently the boys came
where we were, and began by frighten-
ing us with toads, and we would
scream; but this did not last long, for
we saw the teacher rapidly approach.
ing with ruler in her hand, We
knew what was to follow but did not
say word. Walking up to us, she
gave each of us fearful spatting on
the hand and marched us into the
house.
Presently she called ne up to read,
but ! would rather have taken whip
ping than to get up and say A B C and
then go to my seat.
l remember another day, at noon, a
few of US giFls went down to the
spring to get drink and while drink
ing from the spring, one of the boys
pushed me into it head first. With
the help of the other girls | got out,
but all that | could think of was my
new dress, all covered with mud and
water, and I Fap home from school
with a sad heart.
| went to school for two years be-
fore ever began the study of Arith-
metic, it took me all of this time to
learn to read in the First Reader.
All days were alike, so dull, no gen.
eral exercises whateYerl ana my early
reeolleetinns af achaal are anything
hut pleasant. seldom think of them
now, except when | see the Primary
Work of to-day in schools, and con-
trast 1t with the dull, stupid manner,
in which learned to read.
