The Kinsin School.

Having visited the Kirwin school. =
brief account Of the methods of instruc-
ton as used by the teachers NAV prove
instructive 70 the readers Of this depart
ment.
Prof. BIOsher's method of teaching
geography as Illustrated in his recitS-
ton was good. He teaches his pupils
net only ''to point OUt'' places on the
map, but to indicate the direction nom
kirwin. KirWin is 20 him the central
point, The position of other places be-
ing learned only as north, south, east.
west, etc., from Kirwin. AS a further
illustration Of his method, he said TO his
pupils: ~'lf we throw a stick into the
Solomon, and it is not stopned in its
course, where viii it finally arriveP''
lie required the pupils to trace its
course the Gulf of Mexico. He required
his pupils to name the leading produc-
tiOns OF various states. throughout the
recitation he lea the pupils from the
known 10 the unlSnown. He made no
attempt TO teach tbs unknown by the
unknown as many teachers do. In
calling and eXcusing his classes. he was
neither rigid nor slack. He seemed
satisfied with moderate results. ne
aims to have his pupils do permanspe
work. To do this require time, Hence
there was no bustling aetlYlty-nO flash
work.
Mr.. Lane conducted a recitation in
grammar. He has a difficult work To
perform, as his class is, composed prip-
clpally of beginners. Success with be
glnners IN grammar is a sufficient indf-
cation Of a teachers ability TO teach
grammar. The part of the recitation
most pleasing was the pupils mode OF
recitlng. How nicely they did, Each
one rose as requested, recited pleasant
~ if not well, and when excused re-
sumed his seat, This of itself is educa-
ton.
The subject of the recitation conduct
ed by Miss Troup was the earth. its
zones, etc. The strong point IN this
recitation was, the p1pil,s performing
for himself what ne could without aid:
the performing of what he could with
the teachers assistance; and the com
P!etlon by the teacher Of what the pu-
Plls could not accomplish without aid.
HE most pleasing, and perhaps the
most instructive, of all the the rsCita-
tiOns was an object lesson conducted nv
Mrs, Fisher. She placed a small bov
on the 1OOr as an object, and then bv
questioning and experimenting. she
taught more practical physiology to
those prattling children than some
teachers teach to advanced pupils.
Mrs. Fisher is one Of the few good pri-
mary teachers.
Teachers, it is well worth your time
TO visit the KirNVin school. Not that the
klrWin school is perfect do we say this.
We say 1t because it is good. You will
see defects in the Kirwin scfroo1 as Won
do IN other schools. But you Will see
so much that is instructive that Won svlI
forget the defects and think only of is
merits.

WHAT'S PLAY

Play has been defined by good au-
thOrity as the exercise of the mind, or
of the mind and body at the instance. of
impulses OrrigiOnating in the conditions
and disposition Of the SYSTEM and ex-
pending themselves without an object,
beyond mOmentary satisfaction.
Play is self moved seeking for nothing
further than self-gratifycatiOn and has
its end in its self. In childhood there
are times when the child win seem to

He viii be Just as anxious to resume
his play after he has had his little nap
as in the first place.
When older and he attends school.
Let him study faithfully for the time he
is in school, then at recess notice how
well be viii enjoy his play.
But on the other hand if he has not
studied diligently he viii not have half
the pleasure and enjoyment in his play.
Now, what makes this boy play2 And
what does this play do for him9
He plays because he cannot help it,
because the motive forces Of his nature

Thus. one BY one he call into action
All the faculties Of his mind and func-

The Parent and Teacher.

An article by s. Dorothy in the Edu-
CatiOnal Department of Oct %, entitled
s'Pohteness in SchoOT'' says: ''That
pupils should study reading, arithmetic
and spelling is by all assented TO, - and
then asserts it to be as much the teach
er's duty to teach courtesy and polite
ness as the common branches of study,
though not so generally acknowledged.
No doubt a teacher should, as she SAYS,
''insist upon pOliteness to one anOtherf
If they have never learned it, but we
consider it to be the duty of the parent
to teach their children good manners,
and child should have learned this
before it is allowed TO the sehool-rOOm
TO be instructed by the teacher.
Not only Is it the duty Of Ehs parents
to teach true poiiteness to their child,
but it should be taught morality also.
Thes5 are duties which should not be
(out alas, they too often arel shifted on
the teacher, for no teacher has as crest
control over the acts Of the child as the
parent may have if rightly exercised.

Educational Department,
SCHOOL DISCIPLINE.
By MRS. FISHER, of Kirwin.

Discipline Is 81 necessity OF our nat
uTes. Else God would never have dis
eipEHed Adam and Eve in the garden
Of Eden; or the children of men in ev-
cry age of the world since.
The lie Of Christ is full Of lessons of
discipline, voluntarily born by our
Savior that we might learn that discip-
line IS not for our punishment but for
our Improvement.
In order to understand its value and
importance, look for one minute at the
difference between the civilized and un-
civilized nations of this world; the
change is wrought by cultare and edu-
cation, which are SYNONYMOUS terms for
discipline.
But my subject confines me to school
discipline. Webster says
l. Discipline is development of the
faculties by exercise and instruction.
4 To trains correct, chastise~
3. Culture.
2. To accustom to systematic and
regular action.
First 1 shall consider
MORAL DISCIPLINE OR TRAINING.
By moral discipline I mean that
which exercises the emotions, the con
science, the will of the child. 1t teach
es them to admire and practise what
ever IS good, right ennObling and
kind. TO denOunce and shun what is
wrong, wicked, debasing and unkind.
1t teaches them to govern passions,
appetites and desires: it gives them
correct ideas of true nobility: 1t in
spires them with pare motives and
pure actions, and these produce pure
lives. Second,
PHYSICAL DISCIPLINE.
a mind capable of complete develop
ment needs the support of a healthy,
symmetrical physical system. 1t en-
braces knowledge of the structure Of
their bodies, as we'll as an understand
ing of the proper development of each
OF its parts also what is NECESSARY to
produce and preserve health.
1t helps them to fill and strengthen
the hollow weak chest, square the
round shoulders, straighten the crooked
spine.
1t helps them to cultivate a lively,
elastic step in place of a plOdding trod,
a loud harsh voice is drilled into a soft
tone: and if their faces are not beauti-
full they may at least be pleasant and
cheerful. Third,
KETZLLECTUAL DISCIPLINE.
Intellectual development is the most
prominent object of our common school
education. 1t Is for this that most
children are sent to school (although /
often think many of them are sent to
have Shem out OF the way at home).
The sight, the hearing, the voice, the
hand, needs culture. the memory to
retain and reproduce what is learned.
We must interest, to gain their atten-
ton, help them to investigate, teach
them to observe, encourage curiosity.
Our object is not to cram the mind
but give it intelligent action.
School discipline should lay the fOun-
datiOR for correct habits of thinking,
acting and Judging.
1t viii form habits of regularity,
punctuaity, Orders neatness and pre-
cissiOn,
1t will send our children out in the
world to lead usefu3 lives: able to en-
Joy its greatest pleasures, prepared to
meet its deepest disappOintments and
severest trials with a reasonable degree
Of fOrtitude.

Trouble at the Soldiers Home.

DAYTON, Ohio. August 5.-The Sol
diers Hcme Congressional Investigation Com
mittec convened at O'Clock this morning, con-
tinuing the examination OF witness. The ties
timony revealed the dives Of infamy into which
the soldier is inveigled, robbed and sometimes
murdered. Many resorts outside Of the cor
porate limits OF Dayton seem to lie out Of the
jurisdiction OF the law, and even those within
the city are not molested by the authorities,
and compare with any of the most depraved In
large cities. Many soldiers come to DAYTON,
become drunk and dsordcrIy, are arrested, re-
moved to the Home and then punished.
Ex-rcpresentativc Mcmahon said the uni
versal complaints from the soldiers point to
harsh treatment under the rules and articles
OF war. The soldiers were treated as II they
were In garrison, and should be treated as
III home. Politics had caused II change OF
management, and all of the changes In the
rlles and discipline were charged by the sol
diers direct to Representative l.. b. Gunckei
the former resident manager. He said th,
soldiers complained universally OF the strict
discipline and unjust punishment. They want
ed some one to complain TO but they dared not
lay their grievances before General NJ. b. Pat
rick the Governor Of the Home. This would
be obyiated by a resident manager, but Col
onel Harris, the present resident manager,
lived In Cincinnati, and the soldiers could not
see him but once year. He believed that the
Home should be more like hospital than like
garrison. The soldiers have done their
work, and this should be their reward. The
disorderly outside could be dealt with as other
disorderly citizens are.

HATCH BOUNCES PAYNE.
The Colony at Rock Falls Dispersed by
the Military.
Ringleaders Taken to TT. Smith.

CALDWELL, Kansas. August Yes
terday General Hatch, in company with Adiu-
tant-General Finley, and Inspector Greene Of
the Interior Department, visited Payne's Camp
at Rock Falls and after reading the Presi-
dents proclamation to him and his assembled
followers, directed them to leave the Territory
before this morning or they would be elected.
This took place in small board shanty, oc-
cupicd by the Oklahoma chief newspaper.
Payne at first attempted to discuss the legal
aspects OF the case, but he soon became angry
and very abusive in his language. A large
crowd assembled from the tents and shanties
along the river, and the officers again admon-
ished them to leave and not return. The only
reply was torrent of abusive epithets that
cannot be published. The officers then re-
turned to camp ten miles distant.
Early this morning two squadrons Of the
Ninth United States Cavalry, commanded by
Captain Moore, appeared In the boomers
camp, and, under the direction OF Indian
and took charge of the printing Office. All the
women and children aud the men who were
first offenders were escorted to the Kansas
lie, together with their personal property.
Six old offenders, named us follows: ID. l..
Payne, j. b. Cooper, u. G. Greathouse, r. W.
Ecklebargcr, John McGrcw and s. l.. Moseby,
were loaded into six-mulc team, and started
under the escort of Lieutenant jackson and
iitH FDIt GHlItn, ArhaUsis, tHrtt
hundred miles distant. The printing Office
and other buildings, including two boarding
houses, drug store, cigar store and restah-
rant and some cheap dwellings were then
burned to the ground, and the last vestage Of
Rock Falls has disappeared.
Payne threatened to cut the throat OF the
first man who attempted to arrest him, but
one colored soldier marched him about the
camp for an hour Payne has lost whatever
prestige he may have had heretofore with the
thinking class OF the community. He has
been on drunken debauch for u week. and
was too drunk last night TO attend confer
ence Of the squattcrs, which was held after
General Hatch left Rock Falls. The delrded
squatters realize that they have paid him
many thousands Of dollars without any equiv
alent.
The number elected from this camp was
about 30 A large crowd OF citizens were
present from Hunnewel, as spectators, and
heartily approved OF the course which WAS
adopted to rid the territory of the intrudcrs.
1t is believed that this will cure the bosmers
of trying TO force a settlement on the Indian
land. Other detachments have been sent to
the remaining settlements who will In ike
manner arrest the ringlcaders and take them
to Fort Smith.

Wonderful Trotting OF Maud s. at Cicve-
Rnd.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, August 2.-This
has been great day at the Driving Park. On
account OF the rain interfering with the pro-
grammc OF the week, the sport began at II
O'Clock this morning, and continued without
interruption until five races were finished.
The attendance was large and the weather was
pleasant, except short shower at one o'clock.
The track was good At 4:30, between the
third heats of the pacing race and the 2.27
class trot, Maud 8 was brought on the
track and after n little warming up, William
Bair, her driver, nodded for n start, and gave
the mare her head. She strobe of In the
any horse to urge her along, and made the en-,
tire circuit like perfect working machine and
without skip. She passed the FIRST quarter
post in 32A seconds, the half mile In l.O4a,
the thrce-quartcr post in 1854. and Tor the
full mile the time was given as 2.UJM.
Three gentlemen timed her in the Judges
stand. David Bonner OF New York made the
time Of 2.U99l, W. B. Fasig, Secretary OF the
mings, President OF the Toledo Driving Park,
2.09JI. Several watches In the boxes opposite
the Judges stand marked 2.09N President
Edwards announced that the time. was a
record, In as much ms a wager OF one hundred
dollars was made On the trial, ID. ii. Louder
beck, Of Chicago, putting up one hundred dol
lars with Captain George N. Stone, the mana
ger Of Maud s, that she would trot better than
2.111G. The track was estimated at n second
and half to two seconds slower to-day, than
the Providence track. The great crowd OF
spectators went wild with enthusiasm when
the mare crossed the score, and again when
the time was bulletincd, showing that all pre-
vious records were beaten. The mare exhibited
no sign OF distress after her unparalleled, per-
formance. She had had no work for ten days,
and Captain Stone is confident that she could
easily trot the same track on Monday In 2.Os or
better.

OCEAN STEAMER WRECKED.
Tho Steamer Amsterdam Strikes on n bar
During Fog.

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, August g.
The Governmcnt steamer Newfleld arrived To-
night from Sable Island with go passengers
and the members OF the crew Of the steamer
Amsterdam, which was wrecked last Wcdnes-
day night on a sand bar, fifteen miles distant
from the island, while on the passage from
Ameterdam to New York. The only officer
who came up by the Ncwfcld from the wreck
was the third mate. Captain Lucas Of the Ill
fated ship remained at the scene. From the
third officer and the passengers Of the Amstcr-
dam the following story was elected:
The steamer sailed from Amsterdam on Sat
urday, July 10, with 2i2 stecragc and twelve
cabin passengers, and crew of iifty-four msn.
The weather was unusually foggy for the sea-
son, during the run across there being but two
clear days, and the sea wns also rough.
On the day before the Disaster the sky was
clear, and the CAPITA iin obtained good obs.r-
vation. The next morning, however broke
thick and the Weather continued foggy through
out the day. About eleven minutes to 10 the
ship suddenly grounded on an unseen bar
AS the weather continued foggy, though the
sea was very rough, the Captain decided TO
lower the boats and all on board were crowded
into six small crafts and headed for the shore.
The first boat reached the beach without acci.
dent at two O'Clock In the morning. The sec
ond one, however, was not so fortunate, be
ing swampcd Just as she was about grounding
safely. Three men on board OF her, two steer
age passengers, one Of them named Dix, and n
fireman belonging TO the steamer, were
drowned, but the rest were pulled up by the
other boats or dragged ashore.
