Some complaint has been made by
the patrons of our schools of the present
custom of commencement exercises. and
a cry for reform has come from quarters
which the ARGUS believes has lust
derivation The principal objection
seems to be the elaborate dresses
worn on this occasion. some members
being too poor to dress as the others
and therefore drop of before the
end of the school year A
tendency and an eEdeavor to excel
in class work and brain accomplishment
is right, but there should be no rivalry in
dress. The board of education should
take some steps to discourage the silly
notions of an attempt to overdo each
other in dress. Under the present cond,
ton of affairs it costs patron of the
schools at least $50 to prepare young
lady graduate for commencement day,
"phe pun Shl' tquailS Us pfiSut, stops
school before the end of the year so that
she may not be obliged to appear before
the public in a class of silks and satins.
Individual favors of flowers to graduates
of the public schools should be dis
pensed with, and the board should adopt
measures to give all equal advantages.
1t is not the elegance Of wearing apparel
that reflects the worth of the man or wo-
man. The noblest hearts and grandest
characters are often clothed in ashabby
coat.

Brookman, and there it was that the ter
rible shooting of Grant Buffum By Harry
Brookmsn took place short time ago.
Mr., Boney's death coming so soon-an d
suddenly upon that tragic affair was a
double shock to the people of Andalusa.
MIR. Boney was estimated to be worth
$4,000 He was republican in poll
tics, member of the NJ E. church, and
for many years steward and trustee in
the village church. He was one of the
donators of the lot upon which the vii,

never held public office, he took live,

pertaining to the welfare of the village.
He was industrious, energetic and honest
in all his dealings
The funeral will be held from his late
home near Andalusa at 10 O'Clock to-
morrow morning.

INSTRUCTORS OF THE YOUNG
The Annual State Gathering of Indi-
ana's Army Of Efficient Educators.
The Subjects Discussed Yesterday BY the Col
lege Association and the Teachers of
the High and Country Schools.
THE coLLEGE ASSOCIATION.

The Subjects Discussed by the Higher Edu-
Gators at Their Sessions Yesterday.
The annual meeting of the Indiana College
Association, which began on Monday, closed
yesterday afternoon. the session having been
more interesting and profitable than any that
have ever been held by the organization. The
first paper presented yesterday morning was
read by Prof. Wm. A. Moves. of Rose Polytech-
mic Institute. His subject was Chemistry in
the College Course, and he urged that the study
should be taught inductively by experiment, and
by bringing the student in contact with nature
rather than with the textbook, and only a few
divisions of the study should be taken up.
Prof A. B. Milford. of Wabash College, read
a paper on the subject, Methods of Study in
English Literature" in which he expressed the
idea that the method should be to study not
from the text books, but from examples of En-
glish literature.
Courses in Engineering was the subject of a
paper read by Prof. A. w. Stahl, of Purdue
University. For a groundwork, French and
German. he thought, are necessary, and then
the instruction should be by the use of tests.
especially shop-work and experiments.
In the afternoon Mrs. Belle s.. Mansfield, pro-
lessor of History in De PAW University, read a
paper on The Personal Influence of the Teach
err" the leading idea of which was that the
teacher should not only teach facts. hut should
endeavor to influence the individual so as to
turn out the best type Of character. There are
two things to be looked at-irst, the formation
OF the best individual character, and second, the
best type of citizen.
Prof. w. T. Stott, of Franklin College. read a
paper OF THE Study of Civics in Our Colleges"
expressing the opinion that the best citizenship
is brought about only by the rational study of
the methods of the government, and that the
common school and college students should,
therefore. be made acquainted with the ma
chinerV OF the government.
A paper by Professor j. FL. Piper, of Harris
vile College. on the subject, ''Shall the Dead
Languages Be BuriedW brought out a prolonged
discussion. in which the opinion generally ex-
pressed was that the dead languages should be
taught as a means of mental discipline. AS they
represent the best thought and literature they
cannot be entirely omitted in educational work.
The association elected officers for the next
year as follows:
PresiJent-W. w. Parsons. State Normal School.
Vice-pre ~nt-Pr or Garrett. Hanover.
Secretary--Robert b.. Warder. Purdue.
Treasurer-J j. p. ID. John, DePauw. +.
At 4 o'clock the association adjourned until
the last week in December, 1887.

Rob Hoya at sheriff muir.


Argyle deemed it prudent to act on
the defensive, and, with General Wight
man, having posted his men behind
some enclosures, hedgerows, and turf
walls, at the foot Of the hill, with two
pieces of cannon on bis right flank and
two on his left, he quietly waited al at
tack from the Jacobite forces; but, in
splred by some incomprehensible doubt,
the Earl Of Mar evinced no inclination to
renew the conflict. Then it WAS that
an aged Highlander, enraged by his in.
capacity and inactivity, raised his eyes
to heaven, and, in the bitterness of his
heart. exclaimed, sob, for one hour Of
Dundee !" On this day the famous
Rob Roy, who led body Of Mac
gregors and MacphersOns, Is accused
by his enemies of standing aloof from
the action. Lack Of interest in King
James's cause or lack Of courage could
not be laid to Rob's charge yet his
conduct was incOmprehenSiblc. Scott
relates in his history that when order
ed by one Of Mars aides. de.camp to
charge he replied, " If the Earl cannot
win the field without me now he can
not win it with me-" When night fell
the Highlanders began to retire from
thehill toward theirrear and Argyle, on
hearing the receding sound of the bag
pipes, and seeing that their front was
fast diminishing, drew off his troops to
he right and towards Dunblane.
