EIGHTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

The Eau Claire Free Press has TAX
en- the inltiatory step look ing to re.
organization of the political machin-
cry in this Congressional district
made necessary by the changes Incl
dent to new apportionment. It's
suggestions are pertinent and entitled
to consideration. We believe that
representation in the Cong ressional
Convention should be based upon the
Republican vote, which mode has
heretofore prevailed in the old Sew
enth, and are also of the opinion that
the manner of forming the Congress
sional District Committee by naming
one member thereof from each as
sembly district which has been in
vogue here may properly be adhered
to. No tenable objections can be urg-
ed against Eau Claire as the place for
holding the Congressional Convention,
and If the committee appointed two
years ago has no chairman who is a
resident of the present Eighth district
we would most respectfully present
the name of Hon. J. M. BracBett, of
Eau Claire, for that position. Early
in September, it appears to us, would
be proper time for the Convention
to meet.

Ex-GovERNoR c. G. WAsHBURN depart
ed this life May 14th, at Eureka
Springs, Ark, where he has been
since Feb. 1882, seeking relief from a
paralytic stroke received some two
years ago. Gov. Washburne was a
distinguished man and his name will
live in the records of the republic as
one of the noble ones. For a number
of years he has occupied an official
position in our State, and there are
mementos of the true public spirit
that always possessed him. AS Con-
gresham, Governor, Regent of Uni
versity, and President of State His
torical Society, his presence was ev-
erywhere felt as powerful factor
for the good of the people at large.
The donation and location of the AS
Economical Observatory at Madison is
only one of many expressions of this
self-evident fact. The proclamation
of Gov. Rusk appointing committee
to meet the remains at the border of
the State and attend the funeral obse-
quies, and directing State offices to be
closed and the flag to hang at half
mast on the Capitol, on the day of the
funeral, must meet with general APP.

Arithmetic is taught in the lower
grades by Grube's method. Instead
of learning addition before any other
rule is taken up the four rules are
taught together. The first years
work is to learn all possible combina-
tions of the numbers from one to ten.
Get the pamphlet giving the method
and use it. 1t saves several years of
work in that branch.
Physical exercise consisting of free
gymnastics, breathing exercises, ETC.,
take place daily in all rooms and with
open windows.
Grammar is first taught in the
sixth grade or sixth year of the child s
life at school. There are two years OF
preparatory work in language in
which the pupil has no book, but the
teacher uses Whitney's Lessons in
English as a guide. Examinations oc-
cur every ten weeks, as in other
branches. And even the last tire e
years work touches technical gram
mar very lightly, being about half de-
voted to letter writing and similar
work. Pupils can write good letter
in good English but may not be able
to parse Paradise Lost, or Young s
Night Thoughts as glilly as if they
had never given any time to learning
the use of language. Which is most
practical

THE assassination of Lord Cavendish
and Burke, Chief and Under Secreta-
ries of IreIand,is universally denoune-
ed in ireland and there are few indeed
who believe the Irish people would,
under the peculiar circumstances,
have eountenanced such a dastardly
act. However much the assassination
of prominent public men may be de-
pIored, as an abstract proposition the
assassination of Messrs. Cavendish
and Burke was no more brutal or cow
ardly than the shooting in Ireland a
few days ago, by the constabulary, of
some little boys who, imbued with a
love of the principle of freedom, were
parading with band in honor of the
release from an English prison of an
Irish martyr. While the press has a
liberal supply of denunciation for the
assassins of Ireland's Secretaries, con-
sistency would bid it unload few of
its explosives upon officers of the Brit
ish Government who shoot down little
Irish lads for no other offence than
displaying their love for their mother
country. In speaking of the assassin.
alton, Parnell says: 81 consider this
the most abominable atrocity and
wanton crime that ever degraded Ire
land or any other country" In what
respect was it more abominable than

st. Paul Letter.

CONTRIBUTED BY PROF. III. S. BAKER.
.Supt. Rosenberger:-
My object in writing is to suggest
to your teachers such points in the
graded schools of st. Paul, as may be
proftably considered by them. l do
not urge direct imitation. but adop-
ton of features mentioned may in
some cases seem advisable.
While rigid examinations are the
basis of promotion, by the rule allow
ing individual promotions, this fact
obtains: no pupil qualified to enter a
higher class, by ability or outside
study, is kept back. There are eight
grades below the High School, requir-
ing eight years work. Above the
second grade all have written exam
| nations every ten weeks. Each grade
| is divided into two classes, the A and
B, making sixteen classes of pupils IN
| the course each one requiring one half
years work, or twenty weeks. The
results of the examination at the close
of the first ten weeks is averaged with
the examination at the end OF twenty
weeks and, if satisfactory, the pupils
are promoted. From the fourth to
the eighth grade the average requir-
ed is twenty per cent. with mlnlm-
UNI of fifty per cent. in each branch.
Any pupil failing goes back only TWEEN
ty weeks instead of one year, as In
some graded schools. At any tune,
however, the principal may recon-
mend and the superintendent promote
any pupil whose ability, application
or scholarship seems to show that ne
can do the work of the next higher
class. Graded schools are criticised
| because it is claimed that all must go
at the same pace, bright and dull.
/ st. Paul schools have not this re-
proach. No regulation is so condu-
Give to enthusiastic work as TINS.
Each pupil stands upon his own mer-
its. If there are any country teach'
ers who, under pretense of thorough
ness, place their pupils every term al
the beginning of the textbook, lei
them ponder the above facts and re-
form. Should whole class deserve II,
they may be promo ed at any time
Industrial drawing upon Waller
| Smiths plan is taught in all grades
pupil who has gone through TIT
eighth grade is well advanced IN th'
manual work of an architecture
drauchtsman. The work is extreme
ly practical.
Music is also taught systematically
| in all grades with surprising direc
results and wholesome indirect re
suits. This may be done in countr.
schools. Mason's Music Readers ar
the basis of work. Every teache
must teach it. If she cannot she la
to .'change works with some on
who can.
Among the things which do no
commend is the regulation or th
. board forbidding corporal punishment
Probably this restriction is not legal
and could not be sustained If contest
| ed. but no teacher cares to take tn
trouble to go into the courts. Tn
permission to use it would engender
wholesome sentiment that would II
move nine tenths of the occasions TO
: | its use, and on this ground the restrit
Etion seems unwise.

IT seems to us that the study of
science will not be materially retard-
ed should no more lives and treasure
be sacrificed in fruitless efforts to
