The application is easy.
We have been experimenting more than q
quarter Of a century with our High school. Be-
cause we have spent hundreds of thousands in
the plant and in experimenting with the system
is no reason why we should continue it at loss.
and because we cannot afford to continue it at
the present rate is reason why we should
abandon 1t entirely. The place of safety may
lie between these extremes. Let us examine
the whole field carefully, before doing anything
rashlv. At least one thing demands immediate
investigation and correction There is an infu-
ence somewhere of late that initiates too many
pupils with the idea that our State colleges are
altogether too insignificant for them, and they
are pointed to Harvard or Yale as the only place

The Public Schools.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
1t has long been predicted that the so-called
friends Of the public schools would prove its
worst enemies by so burdening the system that
it would break down by its own weight. The
time has been when special teachers were en-
ployed for music, drawing, writing and even
"dresscutting" The attention of the School
Board was called, long since, to the unjust and
imperfect rule regarding the study of German in
our schools, namely, that no pupil could begin
German except to enter the No. 2 grade.
Think of all the families that remove to this
city with children In advance of this grade being
denied the privilege of studying their native or
foreign tongue. The result would be that the
classes of No. grade, having no additions, or
few. would naturally grow small and smaller
until they enter the High school, the services of
special teacher being given to these few
favored ones.
We are amazed that a company of great,
strong men, should in solemn conclave con-
template depriving sick teachers (most of them
young girls in the lower gradesl of their pay
when absent from their desks MANS in
humanity to man. etc, cannot compare to
mans inhumanity to woman.
Instead of thi refinement Of cruelty. dispense
with the superfuous revising principals who
often bring alarm and CONSERVATION, whore
they are supposed to assist by wise counsel and
b elpful encouragement Let fathers and moth
ers look after their children, in our public
schools, with onehalf the interest and care that
they bestow upon their Jersey calves and fancy
chickens, and better understanding between
parent and teacher would be secured, and de-
pleted treasury would be benefited.
Gentlemen of tho School Board be wise ere it
is too late. by giving your fostering care to the
young and tender plants in this goodly garden,
and the mature growth will possess an inherent
vitality that will not be affected by little
neglect. A PATRON

To the very many methods Of self-instruction
in the requirement of German and other foreign
languages. Augustin Knofach has added yet an
other. AS far as we have been able to see, we
cannot understand the particular advantage the
system here presented has over those that have
preceded it. 1t is very much in the same style
of that of Woodbury. and Adler, and not so good,
IL We may judge as that Of Meisterschaft, who
has approached most nearly to the natural
method of imparting language to one who would
acquire it without the aid OF a teacher
This much is certain, however, anyone
can learn German from these pamphets-they
are twelve In number-and in this they follow
the example of the Meisterschaft system-for
all the necessary hints are given, so that there
need be great difficulty in getting very cor
rect idea of the German tongue. A key is given
in each to tho preceding number, so that the
TRANSACTIONS made may be verified. tis insisted
by some that the student who learns after this
method which gives prominence to the verb,
are the better scholars in the END, though they
may appear to acquire the language more slowly
than those who follow other and 'easer" meth

The Fremont Memoirs.

The publishing house Of Bedford, Clarke g.

work that has been in process of completion by
Con. John Charles Fremont and his wife, Mrs
Jessie Benton Fremont, and which has given
promise of being one Of the most interesting
works of the kind ever given to the reading pub
Iic. single glance is sufficient to show that
the work will be given to the public in such
shape as will make 1t one of lasting value, every
thing about it being the product of the greatest
artistic skill The Typography. the paper and

great Nation that has so suddenly sprung into

would have been known all over the world with
out the accidental prominence that came to so
many through the events previous to and during
fhe civil war. Before he became q candidate
for the presidency he was known all

however dull writer he might be. The plain
