As you in substance say these unexpondcd balances

The Art of THINKING

The object of the teacher is to
teach to think. The pupil thinks
enough, but he thinks loosely, in
coherently, indefinitely and vaguely.
He expends power enough on his
mental work, but it is poorly appli-
ed. The teacher points out to him
these indefinite or incoherent re-
suits, and demands logical state
ments of him. Here is the positive
advantage the teacher is to the pu-
pill.
Let US suppose two pupils are
studying the same lesson in geogra-
ply or grammar or history. One
reads to get the facts; he fastens
his eye on the page and his mind
to the subject before him; he makes
the book a study and acquires in
formation from it; his object is to
acquire knowledge. He attains this
end. The other also studies the
book, but while reading he is OBJ
tanning lessons in thinking. He
does not merely commit to memory
he stops to see if the argument is
sound, he analyzes it to see if the
conclusion is warranted by the
premises.
The one who thinks as he reads
is quite different, it will be seen,
from him who simply learns as he
reads. To read and think, or to
think as one reads, is the end to
seek. To teach to think is then the
art of the teacher. The reader for
facts gets facts; he comes to the re
citation seat aud reels off those
facts. His mind, like Edison s
phonograph, gives back just what it
received. While this power is val
liable, it is not the power the world
wants.
The teacher will find his pupils
come to the recitation to transmit
the facts they have gained. He
must put them in quite another
fame of mind. Instead of recitations
they must be mace into thinkers.
The value of the teacher is measur-
ed by his power to teach the art of
thinking.-Teacher's Institute.

The Federal School. Teacher.

Senator Blair's educational bill
before the U, S. Senate, if it passes,
will be, as the author terms it, one
of the most important measures of
fered in congress since the war.
By the bills the government pro
poses to give q sum of $105, 900,
to the common schools of the coun-
try, to be paid in ten annual Install
ments, beginning with fifteen mil
lions and dropping a million year.
The first year under this bill every
state and territory will receive SO
for each person over ten years of
age who cannot read and $2.41 for
each person who cannot write. The
distribution will be on the basis of
the statistics of illiteracy in the
census of 1880. The disbursement
of the money is to be entirely in the
hands Of states and territories,
which arc to render reports, how
ever, and to be liable to a with
drawal of the fund by the executive,
subject to the action of congress.
The bill prescribes that the money
shall be spent in teaching common
school studies, but for the benefit
of states not really in need of help
those receiving small amounts are
allowed to expend them upon nor
NAL instruction, teachers Institutes,
etc. The funds cannot be used for
building school l-houses. One feature
Of the bill which has caused great
deal of discussion in the senate is
that which requires states to spend
during the first five years at least
as much for educational
purposes as the amount received
from the government. This has
been criticized as too low figure,
but the friends of the bill have re-
sisted all efforts to increase the !
amounts raised by the states them
selves, on the ground that the south
is poor.

SAD AFF1IcTIoN
A Young Doctor, Recently Located
at Pulaski, Becomes Insane
Cincinnati Enquirer, 29sh

Cincinnati Enquirer, 29th
A medium built, neatly dressed
young man walked into the Ham-
mond street police station yesterday
afternoon, and told Sergeant Thorn
ton he feared violence from several
people in the city and wanted pro-
lection. His talk indicated very
plainly that he was deranged. He
said he was q physician, and that
his name was w. p. Smalley; his
home was in Upper Sandusky, O.,
but since August last he had been
practicing medicine in Pulaski,
Tenn. He said further that about
two weeks ago he was called to at
tend a young Pulaski lady who had
taken morphine. Since that he
feared the people in the town would
kill him if she died, and he con
cluded to leave the place last Satur-
day He went to Louisville, ard
from there he came to Cincinnati,
arriving here yesterday morning
and putting up at the Oberly House.
He was afraid to go any further.
Since his arrival here he heard rU-
mors that his life was in danger.
Sergeant Thornton sent the man to
police headquarters, where he was
further questioned by Inspector
Hudson. In response to further
questions he said that his father,
DR.. J. w. Smalley, was an inmate
of the Insane asylum at Columbus,
o., but he had never been Athlete /.
There was no doubt, however, but
what the poor fellow was becoming
in the same condition as his father.
Letters in his pockets from his
folks showed that what he said was
true. He also had a paper show
ing that he had studied medicine
the required length OF time under
DR.. Nell Hardy, of Upper Sandusky.
He must have become afflicted with
in the last few days, and his folks
we're not aware of it until last |
night, when the Enquirer cores
pondent in Upper Sandusky called |
upon them to make enquiry. DR..
Hardy telegraphed the Enquirer to
ask Colonel Reilly to hold Smalley |
until he arrived this morning. The |
young physician, however, was put
On the train for home by an officer
asst night, after being held all day,
and Colonel Reilley had telegraphed
% Pulaski to know if he was wanted
here for anything. The marshal of
Pulaski telegraphed last night that
DR.. Smalley had no trouble of any
zind before leaving there.
