What Shall We Do wIth:Them2

There is one great question connected
with our common school system, to
which time contributes nothing. There
are many pupils whose attendance, tor
various reasons, does not amount to
more than four to eight weeks in year.
A pupil, after passing through the
primary grammar, or arithmetic is taken
ION account of some temporary neoes-
sity, or some imaginary Ill treatment
by the teAcher) from school.
At the end of TWO to six months they
are returned. You proceed to ask them
some questions Their answers usually
show that 6rst impressions are cot al
ways lasting, (excnpt that if they left
school because of some dislike to the
teacher, that impression almost invari
ably remains, ana not infrequently be-
comes stronger through parental infu
ence.) Their multiplication table,
worked into them with so much man
ual labor, fails to respond to your most
ardent interrogations. Their spelling
would disgust Nasty. Their reading is
accompanied Sy so many cOntortions of
the countenance that you must excuse
them for fear of an attack of appoplexy,
Now what will you do with them -?
They cannot join their former class
mates; as the class has moved on and
left them, You do not like to put them
lower, for the mere suggestion ST such a
possibility, you not inflequentIy secure
the everlasting condemnation of both
pupil and parent.
Hence you are compelled to put them
into their old classes, where they are
surrounded by pupils much younger and
farther advanced than they are, where
they usually dag along, hampering both
class and teacher, either by copying af-
ter their neighbors or con tinually requir-
ing help. AS natural result they are
not interested ia their studies. School
discipline Is irksome, they shirk on every
'opportu nifty, and il the teacher does his
duty and tries to keep them at their work
by any means whatever, they look upon
it as persecution and SO report to their
parents, who having already formed a
dislike to the teacher now determine to
use their influence to secure a change
of teacher at the earliest opportunity.
Their studies do not interest them,
fresh from their ST. eet or home life,
they see no practical use in Them; for
they had no occasion for their use what
ever Of school.
The longing for their former life re-
turns, the parents don't see that they
can learn any thing under THAT teacher,
and they become irregular in their at
tendance, and when they can be endured
no longer In a well ordered school
they are dismissed from school and
others are added to the multitude
of illiterate boys and girls, who at no
distant day are to become the fathers
and mothers of another generation.
AS a rule the industrial life of such
children is as barren of good results as
their school life vas.

shall we do with them pa

ALTERARY CURIOSITY.


A Remarkable Poem to Which Thirty
Eight Poets Contribute Line Each
The following very remarkable lit
tie poem is q contribution to the San
Francisco Times from the pen of Mr.
81. A. Deming. The reader will see
that each line is a quotation from some
one Of the standard authors of England
and America. This is the result of
years Of labOrious search among the
vOluminOus writings OF thirty-eight
eading poets of the past and present.
The number of each line refers to it's
author below;

The Teacher In the SchooIroom.

The Teacher In the SchooIroom.
The teacher should be thoroughly ac-
quainted with the work and have his
plans made before entering the school
room. He should never be at a loss
what to do next. He should know just
where to turn to an advantage. Where
there is an end to be gained, means will
be found to secure it.
If the regular order of work should be
interrupted by the arrival of visitors, or
some request, the real teacher will have
plans so we'll matured as to not hinder.
He is so self possessed and has SO many
resources at hand that the return to reg
ular normal work is as natural and easy
as gravity itself. A teacher should
never be in hurry, he should keep cool.
While the teacher is the source Of ac-
tivity in the schoolroom, he should move
with power and quietude. He should
not be talking or lecturing all the time.
Some teachers recite for the pupils, but
that is not right. they should recite for
themselves. He should keep cheerful
and be able to smile If he gets in the
habit of frowning and looking cross, the
pupils will initiate him and -ulky
school he will have.
The teacher in the country has much
to contend With, even more thar in the
city. He has no helps, it requires great
deal Of exertion to secure maps. charts,
or any apparatus. The teacher should.
with the aid of the pupils, keep the
house neat and clean and in order. The
desks should not be mar ked or cut
Marks can be removed by washing the
pupils will NJ mark the seats if they have
to scrub them: Teach them pride
they will not deface anything they are
proud of:

John Kuhn, of Lafayette, Ind had a ve"y narrow escape from death This is hIs owu story: "One year ago was In the last stages of Consumption. Our best physicians gave my case up. finally got so low that our doctor said l could not live twenty-fOur hours. My friends then purchased me a bottle of Dr. Wm. Halls Balsam for the Lungs, which bene- fitted me. I continued until I took nine bottles. 1 am now in perfect h, alth hav- ing used no other medicine"
 Dr. NJ. H. Hinsdale, Kenawee, III. reports another remarkable case: "A neighbOr's wife was attacked wiit violent lung disease. and beyond help from Quick Consumption. As last resort, the fami- lv were persuaded to try DR. WM HALL $ BALsAM FOR THE LUN,-. To the as tonishm mt of all, by the time she had used six bottles she was able to do her own work. 1 had no idea she could re- cover"
 P. J. Dnesler, of Clay''ille, N.

HALLS BALsAM FOR THE LUNGS which dId, and by the use of two bottles was cured of my cough and regalned my health entirely"
 From the above 1t is plainly evident that there is a cure for consumption, eveh in the most hopeles cases. and that cure is DR. VIM. ALL's BALsAM FOR THE LUNGS. Cures all coughs and colds.

Beth the Tucson Star and the .. 8. have discovered that the Citizen was given a garbIed ac- count of the recent escape from the penitentiary by an attache of this paper. The latter alleged journal makes some very uncLar- itable remarks and draws unwar- ;Tanted conclusions. While the SENTINEL does not make a prac- ,tice of holding Itself responsible for the conduct of its employees, while they are of duty, we still desire to,cdll the attention of our readers to the remarkable simi- flarity of the accounts as present. sed by the a. a. and the Citizen. The former received it's informa> tion from the fountain head, and the Citizens informant received his indirectly from one of the guards. The substantial fact of the escape remains, as we'll as the fact that it occurred through neg ligence. The incorrectness Of a few minor details may serve as 8 temporary shield by diverting attention from the main facts; and the eagerness with which this opportunity is embraced only brings into a stronger light the motives which prompt that course of action.

The citizens of Yuma little dream of the wealth that lies at their very door. Wealth of a permanent nature that will en- rich not only the receive but the entire community, and that is, the farming lands of the Gila bottom. The most critical farmer can easily secure any soil that he desires, from the clinging adobe to the grateful Ioam. Land that is as prolific and fertile as the heavens ever smiled upon. The confirmation Of the assertions are borne out by the few farms now being cultivated in this vicinity. The farmers are all prospering, snd receiving ten-fold pay for their labor. There are thousands of acres of splendid land lying idle, On the Gila, on account of the non-inclination of our people to become agriculturiSts. The maIn argument against the cul- tivatiOn Of these lands, is water. This is problem easily solved, and the result will be seen, in little while. A few wide awake citizens of Yuma will soon de- monstrate what energy can do in the reclamation of apparently barren land. Irrigation ditches will be cut and the water supply will be sufficiently abundant to irrigate thousands of acres of fer tile land, that will produce im- mense returns, and repay those progressive citizens a thousand Der cent for their investment of labor and money. The entire Gila valley will be farined and where now is the haunt of the wildcat and coyote. will in few short years be the cozy and happy homes of hundreds of

Desperate Convicts.

On Friday nigh about 8 o'clock
 a daring and successful break
 was made from the Territorial
 Prison. The escape was made
 from cell No. 2, which. like all
 the others, has double doors.
 It is supposed that during the day, whilst the prisoners were cOngregated in the main corridor, the hasp of the cell was sawed
 very near through, and the cut filed in with soap and blackened. The prisoners secreted q steel crOw-bar five feet in length in their cell, and about 8 O'clock in the evening they pryed the door open with the bar, and the fas- tenings immediately parted where it had been cut. The men were now in the hall and only few light doors between them and liberty. But, no; they dis dalned to fool with any more duors, when there was ready made aperture for them to go through. Above the big grat- ing of the main hall some rock had been removed to commence the building of new cells. They got out as quickly as possible an d forgot to say good hye. The guards (fouD in the meantinue had heard the noise. and rushing to the, apparently, only means of exit from the building, prepa- red to stop the convicts at all hazards. The superintendent and turnkey were summoned, and on their arrival a strong light was thrown into the cell when To and behold! it was empty. Had the guards on duty been informed of the condition of the wall adjoining the top of the grating, the escape could never have taken pltce. The uDshot of the matter Is simply, that the hall-ways should be lighted; the guards cautioned of any changes that m " be made in the condition of the building. And above all, not to allow con- victs such playthings as crow bars Band files. Indian trailers were immediately sent out, to track the fugitives and early Saturday morning JnO. Costello and Jno. Markle took the trial MT. Markle's experience and judgement were of great value in securing the prisoners. On Saturday evening the Indian traiIers surrounded the men near Gild city and with the help of the section men the five escaped cOnvicts were again in the chargp of the Prison guards. The fol- lowing morning they reached Yuma, and said they were glad to get back as they were starved and tried out. Messrs. St. Or mlnd and Barney, and Supt. Meeden, took part in searching for the prisoners.

A correspondent of the a. a. attacks the SENTINEL's notice of the depreciation of county war rants. That is to say the gentle man starts in to correct the SEN TINEL, but ends up by abusing two of our most popular and pro-
 minent citizens. The article iu question published two week. since by this paper, simply gave the facts as they appear to the mind of any reasonable mn. There was nothing stated but truths that every one could com = prehend in a moment. It was not intended as a slur but merely to place the credit of this count y in it's proper place, with the out side world. "QIarie," the cor respondent of the a. a., seems to be informed that only two parties in this town will buy warrants, and savagely goes after tkem because they can get them cheap. No sane person will blame the gentleman for getting the War rants just as cheap a. they can, i. is pure business proposition . Again, Mir. Queer-eye there is no aliw compelling you to sell your warrants to the "tWO cl .im- ants for the treasuteship."
