Official state Atlas Of Nebraska

Everts & Kirk, publishers, of
Philadelphia, have undertaken the
publication of"The State Atlas of Ne

of tie most important of its kind to all
our citizens that could be devised. 1t
will treat of the several counties. cities
and places of glowing importance.
Our State is now sufficiently settled to
make an atlas of this kind a necessity
to every man Of business and useful TO
every citizen. 1t will be accurate, on a
large scale. showing all counties, town
ships sectisnized, cities and as reliable.
This work will treat of each county
in such a thorough and exhaustive
manner as to cover the practical, de-
sirable points found in maps and
aliases devoted TO a single county,
making it equivalent to so many coun-
ty publications. It will be . work of
great value to our State and of impor.
lance to our citizens.-Lincoln Neus.

Oar New Cornet Band.

Our cornet band, which has been Re-
organized, will give a grand masquer.
ade ball on next Thursday evening,
March 6, at the courthouse hall. The
people of this city should lend all the
aid possible to the band boys, and en-
courage them in keeping up their or
g~anization, which is certainly a great
credit to Red Cloud. There are few
bands in this State that can eclipse the
Red Cloud band, taking the time pfac.
ticed into consideration. They render
their several parts in fine style and are
deserving of much praise. 1t is to be
hoped they will have a liberal patron
ange. The ball will be a novelty and
will no doubt attract a large crowd.

EDUCATIONAL NOTES.
CHAS. w. SPRINGER.

The Hon. S. NJ. Clark, OF Keokuk, a..
once made the remarks: when the
press came it vas Gods command to
these modern times. Let there be
light, and light must be. We must ad.
just our country, our civilization, the
future, not to ignorance but to intelli-
gence. And do not say that all the
masses need is the common learning
that wins bread, and those who want
the higher learning must seek it for
themselves. Do not starve a human
mind! Do not narrow learning to q
caste and a class. Do your best to
keep all the citizenship up to the plane
of the best knowledge. That people
will not govern themselves worse who
know the better" There is a mine of
thought in the above extract. What
We need is not alone what is obtained
from school books, but a broader, more
comprehensive information ON gener-
al subjects, and information of a quail
ty that should elevate and dignity,
rather than lower and degrade. Every
teacher has learned by observation
that the better class of pupils in school
are those whe are readers of some
works, good books or periodicals.
other than their text books used in
school. Accepting this as a tact, and
as a fundamental idea from which to
make a forward movement what is the
duty of the instructor who desires the
greatest good to the greatest number
of his pupils? Should he not feel an
interest in knowing how much, and of
what sort that reading is? Can he
serve his pupils better than by recon-
mending to them some work, some
periodical that shall, while it interests,
also instruct and feed the mind? The
mind needs food in order to grow as
much as the body does, and without
proper food it is a weak puny mind,
unable to grapple with questions that
daily confront it. What are the child.
rem of Webster county reading? We
would like to know. Surely no honest
man or child will object to having it
known. The State Superintendent
wants to know what the teachers are
reading, and the answers in examina.
ton are very interesting, as they serve
as a clue to the inclination of the mind
and capacity of the reader. Now,
what are the prospective men and wo-
men of society reading? That we may
know we would ask that each teacher
take the time, of which she has an
abundance at noon or recess, or in tho
reading classes, to learn what the
children are reading. We are not par
ticular for the names of of the pupils
SO much as We are for the
names Of the publications they read.
And in districts where school is not in
session will the director as far as posi-
bic when he takes the census this
spring, try to ascertain this matter and
return the result Of his Investigations
among his papers making his annual
report The teacher may make his re-
port 10 the director, or he can send il
when he sends his report as though
he procured the information.
If this article succeeds in creating
greater interest in this matter of read.
ing, then we may have more to say
about the quality and the kind of read
ing that the teacher may recommend
to his pupils and assist them in pro
curing.

TIE CHIEF believes that a Farmers
club should be organized in every
neighborhood, or as far as practicable,
in Webster county, whereby farmers
could assemble. say, once a week or as
often as they felt disposed, and talk
over the best modes of farming, stock
raising. etc. 1t would result in much
benefit to the farmers. BY a farmers
club We do not mean some political
machine, bu, a genuine society to be
run purely in the interest of Agricul-
tural pursuits. 1t stands to reason that
ten farmers know more than one, and
that often one farmer can advance
ideas that would be a great help to the
ten others, and so on; and for that
reason, putting this and that together,
we believe that it would be a great ben.
eft to them. We would like to get an
expression from our farmer friends on
the subject. What is good for n is
good for many. Try it, farmers. l,
will certainly result in a great deal OF
good. Capitalization of ideas and con.
certed action is what is wanted in any
business, no matter what it is, and sue
GERS will fellow in nearly every case.
