OUR CANDIDATES.

In another column will be seen the
report of the Republican County Con-
Vention. For Member of Assembly,
COL. d. ]. DILL,
of Prescott. We recall no nomination
ever made in the county with SO much
enthusiasm. We need not now re-
peat the expressions of very high
regard that have heretofore appeared
in the JOURNAL. For Sheriff,
II. S. robson,
of Diamond Bluff. For many years
Mr.. Robson has been a member of the
County Board, and the general ac-
quaintance, and very favorable i'm
pressiOns there made account for his
success in the convention over many,
and some very strong competitors.
For County Clerk,
J. B. JENsoN,
of Gilman. The only objection even
limited against Mr.. Jensen is the fact
that he has held the Office for many
years. However, his splendid natural
business address, his being by famil.
iarity expert in the affairs of nearly
all the county offices, and his being
able to talk in Scandinavian, thus,
situated as he is, being so great con-
venience to his countrymen who now
compose so large portion of the
communicative think properly make
an exception to the rule that public
favors should be passed around. !"
For Treasurer,
J. $. RoUNCE,
of Trimbelle. Mr.. Rounce has proved
himself a competent, and accommo-
dating officer. The only objection
raised to his nomination for reelection
was that he did not keep his office in
a quite tidy condition. His attention
having been called to this, we don't
doubt he will "be governed accord
ingly." He is one of the most neigh
borly, kindly and honest men we
ever met. For Register of Deeds,
F. D. LORD,
of River Falls. Mr.. Lord having had
the office but one term, and having
performed its duties with perfect sat
isfaction, he was nominated as mat
ter of course. and by reclamation.
For District Attorney,
A. CoMBACKER,
of Ellsworth. Mr.. Combaeker has
been in practice in the county for ten
or twelve years. and is known as a
careful and well-read lawyer. He is
held in very high esteem by his pro-
fessional brethren, as man of strict
honor under all circumstances. He
has never had public favors. and hence
will be supported with special. cheer
fitness. For Clerk of Court,
:. COOKE.
of Rock Elm. Another competent,
honest. modest man. No nomination
meets more general satisfaction. For
Superintendent of Schools,
G ]. BREWER,
OF Maiden Rock. A young man Of ex-
cellent natural parts, scholarly, manly
and attentive to duty. For Surveyor,
G. W. CAIRNS,
of Ellsworth. Mr.. Cairns hardly needs
an introduction. Everybody knows
him to be one of the best surveyors in
the country. For Coroner,
J. :. COPLEY,
of Clifton. Candor compels US to say

How to Get Right Expression in Reading.

INV ~ NCA hiSHt INPiVoolOH W hO"Nt"S'
One device in CONCERT reading. 1t is
generally a failure, because the pupil
drops into the mechanical "keep-step"
with his fellow pupils. Another device
is imitation by the pupil, of the teachers
reading This is good sometimes, but as
stand by is open to the objection that it
cultivates parroting. Another still is
questioning by the teacher, the pupil
reading the sentence or sentences in re-
ply to the teachers question. This is a
better device than either Of the others,
but is not quite first class. 1t proceeds
ON a wrong assumption, namely, that in
teaching reading that we should deal
with the language or outer envelope, as
the primary thing. As an assumption
this is erroneous, as in teaching reading,
as almost everything else, the stress
should go on the thought, with the words
as secondary matter.
A fourth device, the best of all, is to
have the pupil close the book and tell the
thought in his own words, until he can
do so clearly, and then open his book
aud read. If the pupil has no bad hab-
its, this will generally secure correct ex-
pression.-Ipd. Sch. Jour.
