OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

III is well known among the friends
of public education in this community
that the question of how can the
studies prescribed for the public
schools be most advantageously
taught" was much discussed at the
Teachers Institute last summer and
the result was the adoption OF
schedule and Course of Study for
the primary schools OF the county,
which every teacher present pledged
himself TO use every effort TO carry
out. as it was shown to be of the high
est importance to the school interests
of the county. Whether the teachers
have all fulfilled that promise, time
will tell They were informed, in adj
vance. that it would require vigorous
and persistent effort and labor on their
parts for several years and that they
would meet with opposition from sew
eral sources, but by perseverance they
would succeed and accomplish a great
good for the people.
To encourage them in this good
work, the following hints on this
Course of Study" will show them its
ADVANTAGES.
L.
/. Every pupil will know exactly
what he is expected TO do within Civ
EN- time and that he cannot absent
himself from school, waste his time,
and lag behind his class without great
loss to himself
2. 1t gives each pupil more time,
both in preparing and in reciting his
lessons, by using classes instead of in
dividuals for recitations and instruc-
tions in the various branches of study.
3. 1t enables the pupils to receive
more instruction from the teacher,
who, thus. has more time for his reel
tations and better opportunity for
imparting instruction. The answers
and explanations of the several mem-
bers of the class clothed in their sim
pie language, present the subject in
various lights, which fixes it in the
minds of the pupils. The timid ones
are encouraged by their classmates
and feel more confidence in their own
ability to answer promptly questions
put TO them.
4. 1t creates an interest in the stud
les and makes pupils anxious TO attend
every day, so as not to miss any lessons
or explanations, and creates class
pride of keeping mp a good name at
school.
5. The pupils can see what progress
they are making III their studies the
grades and classes being as mile
stones TO mark their way through the
school term and fix the starting point
for thp next fern.

GEN. GoFF made very fine speech
at Wheeling last week, in which he
eloquently descanted on the benefi-
cent effects of opening up our mines,
developing manufactures, building
railroads, and so forth. But the
Wheeling Register thinks that the Gen
eral could have spoken thus with bet
. ter grace if he would use a portion of
his large fortune in such enterprises,
instead of investing it in Washington
street railways and West Virginia
farm mortgages at high rates of in
terest.

doubtedly are well organized for the

THE Republicans have been pro-
Tossing to be very jubilant over the
unmistakable stand taken by the
President in favor of tariff revision.
The news from Michigan gives them
q sort of setback, however. Last
week at special Congressional cleo
ton the Republican candidate was
elected by majority of less than 200,
when two years ago the majority was
2,249 and four years ago 7,475. This
don't look as if the people were OPP
posed to the Presidents policy.

II. TO TEACHERS

|. 1t enables the teacher to handle
his school to greater advantage, SO
| that he can do more work and better
/ in a given time. He will know just
what he has TO do within the term and
can map out each day and month :
work.
3 The pupils being arranged in
| classes and each class having its stud
! les assigned for each day, the teacher
! can prepare himself at night for the
next days work and thus be able to
anticipate any difficulties on the part
of the pupils and learn how TO sim
plifv the lessons and be ready with
a fund of illustration to impress the
subject on the pupils. He will then be
full of the subject and hence will be-
come an interesting and instructive
teacher and be able to inspire some of
his own enthusiasm into his pupils and
show TO them that he is doing the
teaching and not the textbook i'll
their hands.
If he has no classes and depends up
on individual teaching, having recita-
lions as he may have leisure, it will be
impossible for him to keep up with
each individual and anticipate his
wants, and as a consequence, he will
become careless and lose interest in
the progress of his pupils and may oc-
casionally 'be caught mapping" by
some studious pupil anxious to know
more than his textbook tells him.
3. 1t will enable the teacher TO avoid
discouraging ambitious pupils by keep
ing them in the same studies from term
to term, as ifthey were making no pro
gress. He can thus note the progress of
each pupil and encourage diligence by
promoting the worthy pupils to higher
classes. Yea, he can encourage him
self by seeing the real progress that
his school is making.

A company is being formed in Balti-
more to construct an electric railway,
which will, if successful, entirely revo-
lutionize the express business and the
transportation of letters. y light ele-
waited railroad structure, double
tracked, twenty feet above ground, is
projected, on which ears pointed at
both ends are TO run. In the centre
of the tracks is to be an upper rail-
which will guide the cars and prevent
derailment as well a conduct the
electric current which is to form the
motive power. A syStem of automatic
brakes is provided, by which the
momentum of the cars will be checked
as they approach their destinations.
BY this means it is claimed that pack
ages can be carried from New York to
Chicago in two hours.

REMARKS

If this schedule and classification be
followed by the teachers, they need
not, hereafter, fear the visits of the
County Superintendent, or any one
else. as they will always be prepared
TO show what they are doing, whether
they have large or slim attendance
at the time The record is there and
will show for itself. The teachers Of
this district and others interested in
public education are about TO publish
catalogue of the schools of the dis
trict, in which they hope to give such
information as will show TO the public
the earnestness of their labors in be-
half of the schools and the progress
that the schools are making.
This catalogue will contain much in
formation about the condition of the
schools and their management and
will be guide to the teachers in the
future conduct of the schools. Let
there be a hearty cooperation in this
work and a harvest of good results will
reward the labor thus bestowed. SO
believes \ TEACHER.

III. TO THE TRUSTEES.

The Trustees in their visits to the
school can see in few minutes exam
nation of the teachers Schedule and
Register, whether he is master of the
situation and knows what he is do
ing. They can soon call out the little
company and form it into platoons
and learn whether each file is proper
ly drilled. Could they do it under the
old regime?
". TO THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.
/. In his visits to the schools of this
county, the Superintendent has but a
limited time for each and the more ia
cilities the teachers can give him to
make up his estimate Of the school and
its teacher, the better. If schedule
OF the studies and classification is
spread out before him, the Superin-
tendent can with its aid, by eXamin-
ing one or two classes in each grade,
form a pretty fair estimate of what
the teacher is doing and what pro-
gress the school is making
Under the old plan, the Superin-
tendent, unfortunate man, hit almost
every school at the most ''unlucky
time" and profusion ofapologies was
thought necessary to explain the slim
attendance and want of interest i'll
the studies OH the part of pupils.
