Universal Education.
| Dr.. f White delivered an able and
| convincing address ia favor Of universal
education, and proved from the statistics
Of our own aud foreign countries that the
education Of the masses does not lead To
pauporism aud ime, as mas been charged
by the three aristOcTaCies of capital, caste
aud intellect, but was tho only safeguard
! against these evils ; and he proved that
the educated labOrer and artisan in our
| own aud other countries live better, get
better salaries and have hghter work than
the uneducated. He paid q high tribute
to our own educational system and those
OF Germany and Switzerland, and,Teferred
to tho fact that Great Britain had been
forced to adopt measures for the education
| OF her people to regain the secptre of
manufactures aud art which had slipped
from her and was held by her better edu
Gated rivals.
| Tue Rising 0enefatlon.
| DR.. L. l.. Higbee made an address in
the interest OF the boys and girls, those
incomprehensible beings that nobody can
fathom or understand. In country like
ours, where hundreds of thousands Of EN-
| igsants from all the nations at tho old
world are annually pouring IN upon us,
many of them ignorant, and all OF them
having a warm place In their hearts for
the lands OF their pativity. and the repre-.
Sentatives of the different nations clan
uishly oliuging together aud perpetuating
their old manners aud customs, the great
necessity OF our nation IL tO see that their
children are educated rs ours are, 30 that
all the different races will aSsimilate with
ours and form one great, unite 4, homogen'
eOus, patriotic people.

| Dr, whites Lecture.
DR.. White continued his instructions on
the several methods of recitations--ex.
planning the advantages and disad dvantaess
| of the catechetc aud topic methods IL
catechising pupils the teacher must be
careful not to put the questions Ia lead
ing form, but put them direct,
so that the pupil will be com
PEELED to depend on his own
knowledge rather than than that of the
teacher. IL questions are imperfectly an
swered endeayor to bring out clearer and
pupil acquires power. As to the topic
method, 1t is the reverse of the catechetic
it is weak where the catechetic is strong
aud strong where the oatechetic is weak
II enables the pupil to arrange and express
thought. A disadvantage is thatit affords
very little room for the teacher for inci-
dental instruction. AS a rule the teacher
will advance more rapidly by questioning
pupils, and being careful that the ques'
tions be clear, concise aud definite. AT
the close of his remarks written question
was handed up by teacher for answer.
After having read 1t DR.. White said,
"This question is neither clear, concise
nor defnte; | cannot answer IT,
