Bright Ideas.

1t was bright idea when Column
bus became convinced of the exist
ence of the continent of America. 1t
was bright idea when George wash
ington was made the first President of
the United States. 1t was bright
idea when Watt discovered the power
of steam. 1t was a bright idea when
Edison discovered the telephone, and
the discovery of the electric light was
a still brighter idea. The establish
ment of trades unions was the result
of a bright idea. The abolishing of
slavery in the Southern States was a
bright idea and so was the introduce
of the thirteenth amendment. And it
was a brilliant idea when N. K. Fair
bank & Co. discovered the method OF
making their famous brands of Lake
side and "White Star" perfumed
family soaps, whereby they are une-
oualed for the toilet, the bath and the
laundry. No household should be
without them as they can be obtained
at all grocery stores. BE sure and ask
for these particular brands and use no
others. III

Last week another prisoner made
good his escape. 1t has been supposed
for some time that he could not live

The reading exercises were con-
Quoted on the same general plan as
last week. The selections read and
discussed during the week were
"sThanatopsis" and selections from
''Pope's Essay on Man." With biogra-
plies of the authors. Prof. Sawyer is
an excellent instructor in Reading, as
in other branches, and his method
may well be adopted by teachers.
The work in drawing consisted of
right and curved-line figures, circles,
and drawing figures from dictation.
Thursday afternoon an interesting
exercise was taken in sketching from
nature some familiar object. Some of
the members did excellent work in
this line.

and comparing the same with North
America was completed. The geogs
raphy of Wisconsin was then taken up,
its physical features, agricultural,
manufacturing, and commercial inter-
ests being discussed at length and
compared with other states. Friday
recitation was consumed in the dis
cussion of the STANDARD Time" Mr..
Rosenberger's plan of teaching Geog-
raphy is certainly one of special mer-
it.
. The recitationS in history were con-
Quoted by Prof. Sawyer. After con-
sidering few important dates in the
Worlds history he proceeded with a
discussion of a few of the important
facts in our own history, such as Dis
coveries By Columbus, Settlement of
jamestown, Plymouth, Boston, Provi-
dence, Causes of the Revolution, Bat
ties of Lexington, Bunker's Hill, etc.
The work in this branch was necessa-
rily very limited but many good ideas
of teaching this branch were brought
out by the Professor.
The subject of Arithmetic presented
by Supt. Rosenberger consisted, main
ly, of Square and Cube Root with
many practical examples. The meth
cd of Cube Root was very satisfactor-
lily explained by MIR. Geo. Moore by
the use of blocks. The exercises in
this branch were quite interesting.
