Mitchell Post Meeting.

There was an unusually large turnout at
the meeting OF Mitchell Post, No. 40, G. A.
R., last evening, at which one recruit was
mustered, two more elected and four applica-
tions received and referred. The boys were
taken by surprise when It was announced
that the revised bylaws were in print, ready
for distribution, and there was a great rush
for copies.
Department Commander Browns general
order as to Grand Army Day was read. The
points therein have already been published in
these columns in reports of action by the
Executive Committee at their meeting. Il
was reported that some arrangements were
yet to be made for the entertain
ment Of visiting members of the
Womens Relief Corps and the matter was
referred to the Executive Committe. 1t is
probable special sup-committee will he ap-
pointed on this subject. J. W. r. Cline,
chairman committee on hotels, ETC., has a
letter from President Mrs. Myers asking that
Accommodations be reserved for herself.
After the Post adjourned the committee
on camp privileges, etc, met and arranged to
advertise Immediately for proposals from res
taurants, rereshmeft stands, etc, on the
camp grounds. The notice appears elsewhere
in this paper. 1t should be borne in mind
that these proposals cover the right to furnish
meals during the two or three days to the
thousands Of veterans in camp as well
as to visitors Some applications are
already in hand, aud bidders should send pro-
posals as soon as possible to Ira W. Wallace,
chairman of the committee.
The Finance Committee, including ward
solicitors, meet this evening for consideration
and to arrange for beginning work.
Old soldiers who have been elected to
Mitchell Post should present themselves for
muster before the encampment begins. The
Post meets every Thursday evening.

Why She Applauded.

Seated to the right of me at q place
of amusement was lady whose inter-
est was not aroused till a thin. discon-
solate-looking girl made her appear
ance. Then she began to applaud
furiously. As could observe no pos
sible occasion for such manifestations,
l felt surprised; but, as she kept up
the manifestation all the evening, and
seemed to have no assistance from
any of the audience, took a hand,
as they say, and also began applaud
ing the thin, discofsOlate- looking girl.
My good-nature, however, bore, as
good-nature often does. bitter fruit.
The lady turned and said:
"What are you applauding forp'

King Causes . Kick.

The feelings Of the Democracy are again
narrowed up painfully by the appointment Of
". NJ. King. Of this city to $4,000 place
under Commissioner Colmsn. The En-
quirer's Washington correspondent says;
Sand now co'nes another Ohio mau to destroy
the equanimity Of Democratic hopes. A few
days ago W. N. King wa, appointed by the
Commissioner of Agriculture Chief OF the
Seed Division Of the Agricultural Depart
ment. The place is worth $4,000 a year
While King is a competent man, it was hoped
Democrat would get this glace. He does not
claim to be Democrat. He is not mug
wump. He is not Republican. He did not
vote for Belvs Lockwood. He did not vote
for Blaine. The reason is obvious. Mr.. King
is Prohibi,ionist, and does not deny it.
Hence he doubtless voted for st. John the
Slick. To keep the step OF bis conscience
nicely balanced Mr.. Kings next vote for Gov
ernor Of Ohio will be tor man named Leon

A Correction.
IN EJ;tnr ~ tbo E1nha Dan,hIi.

To the Editor Of the Globe-Republic.
Please give room in your columns for the
correction of a false, as well as uncalled for
statement, made With reference to myself in
Thursdays issue of your paper
Under the title of "An Honor Well Be-
slowed" the plain inference to the reader
would be that was "cut out of the
teaching force of Wi'tenberg College. Now
! simply wish to say that no action
of the College Board or OF any
committee would justify such a statement
in any sense whatever; neither was it under
stood beforehand, or talked OF, or even intin-
dated, that my services rs teacher would be
no longer desired in the college. 1t Is an IN.
justice, therefore, to connect my name with
that OF any other in this sense. 1t was either
done Intentionally, or by some one who did
not know the facts.
1t is well known that accepted the posi-
ton Of Teacher of Sciences in our City High
School, in order to carry out line OF study
which ! had been pursuing foi some years.
This step had taken for more than month
before the College Board met, and had, in
deed, heen contemplating it for almost a year
before. The error is plain on the face OF it.
Respectfully yours,

train men in the repair of broken

works of every kind. The regiment
has an ample supply of roiling-stock of
engines, passenger carriages, good
vans, trucks, etc. There is thus every
facility for training men to act as port

driving, the care and repair of engines,
the duties of iiremen, pontsmen, shun-

The Prussian Railway Regiment.

The Railway Corps of the German
Empire consists Of q Prussian regiment
and Bavarian company, the latter
being precisely like . Prussian COM
Pany in every respect The Prussian
Railway Regiment (das Eisenbahn-
Regiment) is organized in a regiment
al staff and two battalions OF four
companies each. A company in peace
time consists Of four officers, l8 nom
commissioned officers, and 100 privates.
The regiment is for excellent reasons,
for all purposes Of training. placed i'm
mediatsly under the general staff. 1t
is only by being constantly In immedi-
ate contact with the best and most Sc
lected officers Of the German Army
that the officers Of the Railway Corps
can be expected to know and learn
what is required OF them. They are
thus able to know the slightest altera-
tion taking place In German and for
eign railway matters, as well as every
change or innovation In foreign armies.
They have, moreover, immediate ac-
cess to men Of high authority, and can
thus at once make known their ideas
in quarters where they can take effect
without delay. The n'ateriel given to
the Prussian Railway Regiment is very
considerable, and is q striking contrast
to the parsimony In the use and ex-
penditure Of stores generally practiced
In the German service, thus showing
the great importance attached to the
efficient training of this new branch of
the army. The regiment, in fact,
actually possesses and works by itself

not her province to make Law >, to head
armies, nor to be at the head Of great en-
terpriscs, but to her is given the power to
form those by whom the laws are made,
to teach the leaders OF mighty armies and
the governors of vast empires. She is
required to guard against having the
slightest taint Of bodily infirmity touch
the frail creature whose moral, intellect.
ual and physical being is derived from
her. She must instil correct principles,
inculcate right doctrines, and breathe into
the soul Of her offspring those pure senti.

part Of themselves, and bless generations
vet unborn. Yes, TO woman IS given the
blessed privilege Of aiding the sufferer in
all the various stages of his existence. She
smiles serenely at the christening, and
weeps at the burial, while she soothcs the
bereaved heart. This is her province and
duty. Yet how can she fulfill her mission
unless possessed of a strong and healthy

Training of Teachers.

The Toledo Post correspondent at the Ohio
Teachers Association meeting al Chautauqua,
sends the following abstract OF Supt W. j.
Whites paper on Normal training as a prep
aration Tor teachers, read Tuesday before the
association
Supt W. J. White, of Springfield, then
read An able paper on Normal Training
as preparation Tor teachers" There is II
growing conviction, he said, in the minds Of
the best people that the public school should
be in charge OF trained teachers, of teachers
who can teach. Prudence and seli-protectlon
demand professional training. Experience is
a slow and costly way Of learning. IL is as
much the duty OF the teacher to know his
way as it is of the pilot to know the track
less path over which he guides his bark.
Most OF the leading cities have normal
training in successful operation, yielding
rich returns in the conduct of the schools
of those cities. The evil of mex
perience retard the progress OF schools.
Our public schools do not and can
not Of themselves furnish teachers
ready made for the school. The immut-
able truths ana principles of the problem
Of education have been by them
unstudied and unlathomed. Sound jufg-
ment, quick decision and skilllul tact are
qualities to which the raw teacher is often an
entire stranger. He would not substitute
theory for experience but he would improve
experience by basis of good theory. He
would place pupil teachers under skilltul
guidance, under trained teachers and kindly,
helpful criticism. He would put the standard
OF admission to the training department very
high, and call out those who show no aptitude
tor teaching. This should be done for the
protection of the schools-or rather Of the
children, who now suffer that teachers may
gain knowledge through experience.
