BY MRS. T. A. DUNLAP.

BY MRS. L. A. DUNLAP.
w. G. T. U. notes have been rather
scarce in my column lately. Iexpect
to be at home from this time forth
and WELD the pen in the interest of
the Arkansas Union.
" Mrs. S. X. Hart, our state organ
izer, was not we'll enough to meet her
appointments this week. She will 90
up the Fort Smith road on Monday.
Mrs. Moose and daughter, of Nor
rilton, have been visiting their daugh-
ter and sister, Mrs. J. G. Fletcher,
for some time. Mis-. Moose made
headquarters a pleasant call.
We can be found at our new head
quarter in Methodist block on Main
street, all hours of the day. We are
always pleased to meet our sisters
from different parts of the state, as
well as those who live in the city.
Dear sisters, we make one more APP
peal for items of interest from the
various Unions. We cannot keep up
interest in the Unions without an
effort. One squib in the paper from
your Union will be an inspiration to
your own Union, as well as many
others.
At a recent meeting of the state
executive committee it was decided
to push the work of the scientific in
struction department from now until
the session of the legislature. If we
get this law we must work for it.
Those receiving petitions should be
diligent in circulating them.
Mrs. Feigels, one of the elect la
dies of Little Rock Union, organized
a new Union at Rock Creek, Pulaski
county, with the following officers ::
President, Mrs. Sarah Adams; cor
responding secretary, Mrs. f. M.
Crawford; recording secretary, Della
Adams; treasurer, Mrs. F. M. Craw-
ford. We welcome you to the sister,
hood.
Mrs. Dorcas Spencer, the talented
corresponding secretary of California
w. c. T. u, is to give few lectures
in this state, on her way back from
the National Convention. She can
not go off the Iron Mountain road,
but we hope she can stop at all the
stations on this road where we have
Unions. She is superintendent of
scientific instruction in her state, and
can give our Unions needed instruc-
ton in this department.

Educational and General.
What Constitutes Successful
Teaching.

|. A teacher should have good
mental outfit. He should be well in
formed, and to his stock of informa-
ton there should be daily additions
from varied sources. He should es-
pecially read books and papers de-
voted to educational work.
2. Discipline in a school must be
maintained at any cost. The teacher
must be master in the school-room.
Theoretically, one may be opposed
to corporal punishment; practically,
he need not express a positive opin-
ion. But the teacher must control
the school,
3. The teacher must be persistent
in exacting thorough work. A care
less oversight on the part of the
teacher does not tend to eSactness on
the part of the pupil. Vigilance
should not be relaxed nor what are
termed small things overlooked.
4. All mathematical problems,
however simple, solved by the pupils,
should be explained by them, that
the teacher may be assured the prob
lens are thoroughly understood.
8. The teacher should avoid tell
ing the pupils too much when ques-
tioning them. They should be COM
PEELED to demand upon their own in
genuity and draw upon their own
resources as much as possible. It is
thus they receive benefit, and grow
in mental power.
6. In giving directions to his pu-
pills with regard to work to be done,
the teacher should not find it neces-
sary to repeat. The pupils should be
disciplined in the matter of giving
quick and intelligent attention to
every remark made to them by the
teacher. So valuable time is saved
and good habit cultivated.
7. Very long lessons should not
be assigned. Better too short than
too long. When very long, the prep
aration cannot be thorough. Parents
are largely to blame for the fault of
long lessons. Too many of them
have the idea that getting through a
book is equivalent to mastering it's
contents. But the teacher should 60
slow enough to do thorough work.
8. In questioning pupils, the
teacher should be patient. Give
them time to comprehend the ques-
ton in every instance. Put it in a
different form only when assured
that the first cannot be understood.
The art of questioning is a somewhat
difficult one to acquire, but is of very
great Importance. A question may
suggest the answer; or it may be so
obscure as to confuse the pupil. The
former error is most common and
should be especially guarded against.
8. A teacher should not talk too
much in the school-room. He should
not talk about the discipline, and the
children should do most of the talk
ing about the lessons. He should
also be very judicious in according
praise or blame. Complaints should
not become cheap, nor should cen
sure be too harsh Educational
Review.

Cardinal Gibbons Writes =! Letter Favor
ing q Federal Law to Preserve the
Sa.ct;ty OF the Sabbath.
New YORK, Dec REV. Wilbur F.
Crafts, of this city, has received letter
from Cardinal Gibbons, Of Baltimore, In
dorsing heartily the great petition to Con-
gress asking for a law forbidding Sunday
work in the Government mail and military
service and in inter State commerce.
which had previously been Endorsed by
ca 200 petitioners in churches aud labor
or, anizat .ons. *..
The context Of Cardinal Gibbons letter
is as follows:
IT am most happy to add my name to those
OF the m lions of others who are laudably con-
tending against the violation Of the Christian
Sabbath by unnecessary labor, and who are en-
deavoring to promote its decent and proYer OBJ
servance by judiclous legislation. As the late
plenary council Of Baltimore has declared, the
due obs ervance OF the Lords Day contributes
immeasurably to the restriction Of vice and inn
morality and to the promotion Of peace, re-
lgion and social order, and can not fail to draw
down upon the Nation the blessing and pro-
lection of an overrullng Providence y ss
