The Constitution,

The constitution promulgated by
the late constitutional convention has
been endorsed by the people, having
received a large majority of the vote
cast at the recent election. The terri
tory is to be congratulated that such
is the case. The constitution is an
excellent one, and on the whole, well
adapted to Montana, when she attains
statehood. The only clauses to which
any extended objection prevailed,
were those eKempting mines from tax
alton, but the arguments brought to
bear n favor of the exemption were
much more powerful than those against
it. We are glad that the labors of the
constitutional convention have not
been wasted. It's members were prob
ably as intelligent and disinterested a
Legislative body as was eve convened
in the territory, and the work they
performed was worthy of them. Its
adoption at the polls is a step in the
direction Of statehood, and as such we
gladly hail it.-Billings Post,

Revised EditiOn-.SetIsr,s Guide.

Henry N. Copp, the land lawyer, of
Washington, has revised his Settlers
Guide, and issued the seventh edition.
It is an indispensable book for all who
are, or expect to be, interested in pub
lie land. Settlers will save money by
purchasing it, and all who expect to
take up land should get posted on the
several laws under which land can be
entered. A chapter, illustrated with
numerous cuts, shows how to tell town
ship, section, and quarter-section corn
ers, and explains the system of surveys.
1T gives the latest rulings and instruc-
tons under the homestead, timber Gull
ture, desert land, and other laws. The
price of the book is only % cents.
1t will tell you who is entitled to
enter land; how continuous your resi-
dence must be; what improvements
you must make; what affidavits you
must swear to; all about contests, and
on what grounds they can be COM
menced; also about State lands, stone
anO timber lands, mineral lands, desert
entries, saline, railroad coal, townsite,
and other lands; scrip. warrant, and
other entries, etc. Its purchase will
save you money and trouble, as erro-
neous statements circulated by CONVEX
sation among settlers may, if acted on,
cost you a contest, perhaps your land
and improvements.

an Educational Experiment IN
DennlOrE.

In December, 1882, the Association
of Students in Copenhagen formed a
society for the purpose of giving eve
ming instruction to the working classes
in that town. Workmen of all sorts
were in the beginning of January,
1888, invited by the students to at
tend two public meetings-one in the
town itself, the other in one of the
suburbs. The rooms where they met
were crowded; the workmen accept
ed with enthusiasm and gratitude the
offer made them by the students, aud
at once put down their names for the
proposed lectures, the choice of sub
Jects being left to themselves. In
the course of a few weeks 1900 had
sent in their names. Among these
Joiners and carpenters were more nu-
merous than others. Their ages were
mostly from 25 to So. The instruc
ton began on February 8, when "A
classes were formed, to meet once
every week for two hours, from 8 to 10
in the evening. A great part of the
rooms necessary for thu classs5 wer

Of the structure OF the human body
and its functions; then came the
common rules for preservation of
health, the special dangers Of different
employments, and the means to avoid
them. In sociology, the historical
development Of society was treated,
division Of labour, production on a
large or small scale, value, rent, bank
ing, trade and trade unions, strikes,
taxation, &c. In other classes the
statistics of Copenhagen were discuss
ed in reference to It's population, their
ages, occupations, &C., and the advan.
tages and defects ct large towns, the
protection Of children in manufacto-
rirs, the difference in the work of
men, women, and children, the eman-
cipation of women, married and I'M
married, and many other social queS-
lions. In history Il lecture was given
on the times of Louis XIV. and Louis
XIV, as an Introduction to the French
Revolution, with sketches Of the most
prominent men of the age. Drawing
has not been taught, as Copenhagen
is already supplied with many schools
for drawing, one being especially
adapted for the working classes.
MI the teachers have been highly
gratifcd with the industry, zeal, at
t%ention, and interest Of their audience.
They have been surprised at the
natural intelligence of many, and
their whole conduct and bearing has
deserved hi.h praise.
Two advantages have resulted from
the scheme-frst, the knowledge inn
parted, which, though not very great
in amount, has certainly given a strong
impulse towards the development of
the faculties in The working classes,
and has widened their horizon and
secondly, the social Influence in bring
ing together classes of society former
ly kept at a distance and distrustirg
each other from want of knowledge.
Tue Board consisted last spring of
five members, of whom the President
CIR. Trier) and the secretary (Mr.
Neergaard) were the leading mem
beers tor the practical working of the
scheme. Soon, however, it became
clear that the work would be beyond
their powers. -Four inspectors were
therefore nominated, including a lady
for the female division, to superin-
tend the work of the classes. The
teachers were admitted to all the
classes, so that they could learn from
each other. especially the younger
from the older. The body of teach
ers were recruited from different
classes of the society of Copen-
hagen. Not only students and can
didates. but also merchants, artisans,
and even doctors of philosophy and
Of medicine, amt teachers at the Uni
versity. have offered their assistance.
At a public m citing held in the au-
iumn, the number OF working men
DESTROYS of attending the classes was
found to be upwards of 5000. There
are at present 1886 classes, with 1872
teachers, dispersed over the town in
II different houses. There are Is
classes of women, comprising about
200 students, for the most part under
female teachers. The women are

We're formed), ortI'ography of the
Danish language, arithmetic, German.
Handwriting, and geometry, in all 81
classes of about 20 members each.
The instruction was in some classes
given by means Of questions and ex-
plantations or by written exercises.
In others, II formal lecture was
given, rs, for instance. on sociology,
hygiene, history of physics, chemistry,
and history of Danish literature. For
This group Of subjects II classes were
formed, consisting of 430 members.
All the teachers worked without any
remuneration. The only expenses,
for tucl and gas, were provided for bv
"a charge of GIL. for Il course of six
mouths duration, or of Sd. for each
COURSE if more than one were entered.
It was resolved that the instruction
Should take place only during tie
FIST three and The last three months
of each year, the summer evenings
not being considered a convenient
time for such work. When the in
structjon ceased in the spring Of last
year the number Of persons attending
was a little more than half of what it
had been at the beginn NO.
For teaching English, German,
arithmetic, and geometry, printed
manuals were at first used, but it was
soon resolved to conpose special
manua}s forthe working classes, and
a German elementary manual, with
syntax and vocabulary, is already
published. An English manual is in
preparation, The members get the
books at about halt price, partly
through til" Iiberality of the publish
ers a portion Of the expense is paid
by a voluntary subscription from
about 800 members, who pay yearly
from Is. to Us, or more.
The outlines of the instruction were
at the beginning discussed and adopt
ed at the meetings of the teachers, the
detaiis being left to the experience of
each separate teacher. The general
principle was to make everything as
practical as possible. In languages,
no grammatical rules, except The most
necessary, were Taught in orthogIa,
ply no pedantic conformity was aimed
at in hygiene anatomical drawings
and various preparations were exhibit
ed i; in physics experiments were made
and discussed between the teacher
aud his pupils. In geometry, paste
board models were used. The in
struction in Danish embraced the
spelling of words of similar sound, of
dlctarion, wiling Of letters, orders,
bills, advertisements, petitions to au-
thoritieS, &c. In foreign languages
the first object vas TO give a supply
of the most common words ard sen
fences, with exercises in p%ronuncia-
ton. In arithmetic, the instruction
went as far as the knowledge of the
decimal system and of fractions. In
geometry, the elementary notions of
magnirndes and figures were taught,
the division in degrees of IA circle, the
measurement of angles, calculations
Of the boundaries of different bodies,
and easier Problems. In uhvsicS
