1t is a mistake to invoke higher
authority except as last resort. The
teacher who does so, weakens her
own authority and demoralizes her
school.
There is an art in questioning that
every teacher should study, 1t is
skill in drawing out information that
causes the child to think. The teacher
whose questions do not ask for more
than memory alone can produce, has
not yet learned this art. The object
of the recitation should be as much
to induce right habits of thought as
it is to test the memory Mo. Sch.

The Berlin ladies, including many
belonging to the higher grades of So
ciety, have presented petition to
the Prussian Minister of Education,
complaining of the present state of
education in girls schools. The chief
complaint is against the custom of
appointing masters instead of mis-
tresses for the upper classes of these
schools. 1t is asserted that only the
managers and masters approve of this
system, which was agreed upon at
Weimar in 1872, while the parents
are opposed to it on the ground that
the masters do not understand the
inner life of the girls, who are thus
educated in a purely external, incon-
sistent and superficial manner.

An Easy Way to OBJ
tain a Watch !!

There is no excuse for any person in Arkan
sas to be without a watch. Mr.. Louis G. Der.
nays, manufacturing jeweler, ZIG Main street,
Little Rock, Ark, has devised plan by which
the best time pieces now in the market can be
secured ON terms that prohibits the purchaser
missing Che money he expends for one Of
them.
The plan is simple and will meet with the
endorsement of all who really desire a watch.
The watches Mr.. Bernays proposes to sell
can be selected from his stock, which is com.
plete in every respect. He has just received
Il large assortment of anti magnetic KIT,
guld'tllcd cases, for open face and hunting
case movements, warranted for twenty years.
They are especially adapted for railroad peo-
pie and parties working around dynamos and
other electric appliances. The purchaser is
purchase money for one of the watches, Civ.
ing every week thereafter one dollar, until the
watch is paid for. No interest is charged and
the same charge is made for the watch as
would be required to purchase one at other
establishments for cash. 1t is the Simplest
and easiest plan ever suggested to enable a
man or woman to own an excellent gold watch
without missing the money required to pur-
chase one.

more advantage this day to your hus
band and children than all your house
wifery accomplishments"
"Oh, you are mistaken" cried the
little lady. III never have a bit of

learned" l said. Though doubt
even that. But what you gained in
the learning has made you, if you'll

"a nimbleness, my dear, in the

yourself to others. That is a thing
that not every educated woman gains;

w. CT. U. Notes.
BY MRS. 7. A. DUNLAP

A great many Unions still owe the
$500 for state work. Please send
it on: we need funds to make a sue
cess of our work.
Mrs. Hart organized a Union at
Gurdon. They have very fine
Loyal Legion at the same place, under
the care of Mrs. Smade. Mr.. and
Mrs. Gage have been untiring in their
efforts to help our cause along.
Miss Matte Allen, County Vice
President of Ashley county, has her
county all ready for our organizer.
Miss Aliens zeal is to be commended.
We hope many of our County Vice
Presidents will do likewise.
Now is the time to hold County
Conventions. This nice fall should
not be lost to our work, neither should
it be entirely devoted to political raj
lies. Dear sisters, let's rally our
forces and organize as many counties
as possible before the winter sets in.
We hope every Union in the state
will observe the day of prayer accord
ing to the call in the Signal, This is
the day set apart by White Ribbon
ers all over the world. Ask your
ministers to preach on some of the
subjects given in the Signal. Have a
gospel meeting at some hour of the
day conducted by the Union.
Mrs. Townsley, Blair and Hen
bricks were present at the meeting of
the Union on Thursday. Welcome
home, sisters. We hope to see all
the members that have been absent
for the summer in their places soon.
Every meeting is full of interest.
Now that the one-hour rule is strictly
adhered to we shall expect full at
tendance.

IerlapS liquor possesses some
moral effects beneficial to society.
Let us see. DO the wife and child
who go in rags that the husband and
father can spend his earnings in the
saloon, believe that strong drink is a
home blessing? Does the wife be-
heve as she sees her husband lying in
the gutter or on the floor drunk, does
she believe that alcohol is an eleva-
tor of mankind? Does she believe as
her husband kicks and cuffs her
about that alcohol makes him nobler,
gentle, purer and more god-like?
Does that aged, gray-haired mother
who devoted the best days of her life
to bring up her son Alright, does she
believe, as she finds her son behind
prison bars, that liquor is a moral
blessing? Does she believe, as her
son comes home intoxicated and
abuses her and his father, that alco-
hol teaches to children the moral
precept "Honor thy father and thy
mother?"
Do the friends and relatives of the
6,440 insane, made so by the use of
liquor, do they believe that alcohol is
gift of God to His children? Do
the 81, 900 paupers IN the different
alms-houses of the country, eating
the bread of charity, and who were
brought there through the use of
liquor, as your own statistics prove,
do these people believe that liquor
keeps body and soul together?
Do the $4,000 criminals who
look to heaven through prison
bars and who admit, as you prove,
were brought there by strong drink,
do they believe that intoxicating bev-
erages harm no one and are essential
to mans happiness, enjoyment and
freedom?- Hugo Preyer, in Union
