TEACHING GEOGRAPHY.

Supt. A. Is. HinSdale in one of his Sc
ries of letters on geography-tcaching
says:
The pupil should begin his geography
at home: that Is, he should first learn
certain facts concerning his own neigh
bOrhOod, township, county, and state.
This he can do while working on his
fundamental concepts. or learning his
definitions. Such local study will in
volve the Use of that form of ..earth-
picturing" called II map. What shall
be the next step? Shall this be the order
of his progress: the United States. North
America. the globe? or shall he go mt
once to the globe and then take these
steps in the reverse Ordcro Or, again.
shall he stop at some intermediate point,
and then descend? To these questions
different teachers will give different an
swers. Moreover, he would be bold
man who should insist on any one an
swer to the exclusion of the others, ut
all times and places. My own idea is
that the pupil. after studying his own
state and adjacent states in outline.
should pass at once to North America.
Here, for the time. it will be sufficient
to insist on Il few general facts: the
continent i'm its setting of oceans,
Its form, its grand mountain and river
system, and its primary political divis-
ions, British America. United States.
etc. All this time the intelligent pupil,
at least, will have been gaining. by
reading and conversation, general ideas
about the earth, which will aid him
materially as he goes on his way. A
general view of the continent acquired.
he should take up the United States. first
as whole. next the first group of states.
and then the states scverally that make
up that group; and so on.
Too many small facts. and too few
large facts, are taught in our schools.
The teacher fails often to grasp the con-
ception of the geographical unit or
whole; or, if she have that conception.
her unit is the ultimate fact. as river.

WHAT CAN HE DOp

Eli +. Brown. Supt. of Public Schools.
Paducah, KY, in a letter to the .Ionrnnt
of Education says:
People will know what we are If we
are honest they will find it out, and if
we are unreliable in word or deed il
will as surely be known to those with
whom we associate. We cannot live
alone. We are necessarily in close in
tercourse with the members of our own
home; and. in society of every kind.
whether it be the school, the church. the
social circle, or the business arena OF
life, we are at all times turning the light
upon our inner selves and exposing our
real self to the gaze of those about us.
It is fatal mistake 10 suppose that they
who see us, who hear us, and deal with
us in diverse ways, cannot Judge rightly
of our weakness ana shortcomings. as
well as of our merits. Even child can
sense the breath which vice or virtue
constantly emits from the character of
those who cast their light or shade up
on it.
People will value Us by what we are
and by what we do, not by what we
pretend to be or by the estimate we put
upon ourselves. The man who is thor
oughly honest is trusted. He vino
does a good day ; labor is employed: he
who excels i'm handicrafi. of whatever
sort, receives the best pay. He who
manages his own business we'll receives
the confidence of the people in the
management of public affairs. He wiio
is skillful in raising the i'll from the sick
bed is sought after. day and night, to
relieve suffering.
The boy or man who seeks position
must rest his selection and his counte-
nance of employment on What he is and
what he can do. Business OF every de-
scription is hunting out Efficient and re-
liable workmen and advancing them in
place and salary. Industry of every
Kind, and professinnaE servicc of every
variety, call for men 1and women who
can excel in the WORK. required Of their
hands and brains.
What one can do depends on the pre-
paration he makes for the doing. 1t is
true that one may he more favored than
another by natural endowment. but the
great difference that obtains among
wOrkmen of all classes depends vastly
more on the training to which they sub
NIT themselves. Men are not born with
a genius for the management of an en-
CINE. Great inventors are not prodigies,
but are the products of long and per-
sistent study and effort. Men who ex-
Gel in literature, in art. or i'm profess
sional skill, grow into their excellent
estate through years of patient toll, in
telligent effort. and fidelity To purpose.

a Correspondent who Discovers
symptoms OF Railroad Construction
Down the Jim Valley to Yankton.
A C respondent OF the Mitchell Re
publican remarks in an introductory sort
Of a way, that southern Dakota is agitat-
ed with railroads and rumors of railroads,
and he greatly fears that a good many of
them will never prove palpaDle even on
paper. He explains that during the in
clement seaso a good many Stray
thoughts are dropped by the man on
the nail kee to the nan on the sugar
barrel IN the grocery that rIpen into re-
ports, and gain rapid circulation. With
these precautionary warnings the cor
respondent drops the remark that q ru-
NOR prevails that the Ordway and
Columbia branch is to be built south to
Yankton, following the east side Of the
James river. This, he says, sounds very
remarkable in view of the fact that when
in Chicago last week, he called on Mr..
Haghitt, president of the Omaha, and
general manager of the Northwest,
ern system, and received in the course
of his talk with him, emphatic denial of
all rumors of this kind. Mr.. Hughltt
said:
"We do not propose to build a mile
of road in Dakota this year; nor indeed
until the country grows up to what rail
roads it has there. None of our roads
there pay. The Dakota branches all
come ont debtor to the general system
at the end of the year.. Until there Is o
better showing, therefo=s we are through
with railroad building there"
The correspondent goes on to state
that he takes this statement with some
allowance for the usual secretive ten
denotes of railroad officials and init
mates that he has knowledge that Da
kota railroad extensions have already
more than fulfilled expectations. II
looks reasonable to him that should
contingency, however slight, arise de
handing more roads in any section o
Dakota, neither of its great system
would hesitate a moment TO calculat
whether it would return a profit thi
year or even ten years hence, but woul
build it.
