TEACHER AND PUPIL.

TIL Spirit I'm Which the Instructor Should
Garry on His Work.
Let every parent and guardian
see that the children have books of
their own to use, such as they need in
every branch of their study. No man,
be he farmer or mechanic, goes to his
work without the necessary tools to
work with. and it is the height of folly
to send a child to school without his
books. Some parents are too penurious
to buy books, and tell their children to
borrow from others in the school. This
degrades the child in his own esteem
and in the esteem of his associates. As
to those who are really poor and can
not supply their children with books,
let them apply to the proper authori~
ties, whose duties it is to see that the
poor are furnished with them. wouldi
advise every teacher to dismiss and
send home all children that come to
school without books, with the reason
why they are sent away, so that the
teacher and school shall not be en-
barrassed with such scholars, and that
the responsibility may rest where it
properly belongs.
The teacher should be always kind
and good-natured, social and obliging,
and let the scholars see and feel that
they can approach their teacher. and
that he loves and respects them.
Then they will cluster around their
teacher. and he or she will have their
love and confidence, and the school
will be easily governed. Any teacher
that shows favoritism to one and dis
like to another. or flies into passion
before the school, should be at once
dismissed and never be recommended
to teach common school, whatever
other qualifications he may possess.
Teachers should talk to their scholars
at the opening and close of the school
every day, and pleasantly remind them
of faults that need correcting and praise
them where it is due, ana appeal to
their good sense ond best nature. Love
is the supreme power of the mind, and
when the teachers exhibit this, and it
flows out to every child under their
care, every child will love them and be
obedient to every sensible rule of the
school.
Never was there time in the history
of our State. Nation or world when SO
much could and should be done to edu-
cate the rising generations. Let every
teacher deeply feel and realize his re-
sponsibility. s. c. Chandler. tD

The Directlve Faculty On Brutes.

A bird that builds its nest in shell
tered place exercises control over ma
turc, in its degree, quite analogous to
the work of a human architect. 1.-The
foxes have holes, and the birds of the
air have nests. How does the fox get
its hole, or the bird its nest? They
make them for their purposes, and this
is certainly control over nature to that
extent. How does the fox support his
family if he has no control over ma
ture? Do hens and chickens run into
his hole and ask to be eaten? DIR.
Hopkins does not seem ever to have
heard of the way in which a tribe of
monkeys prepare to rob a corn-field.

DOES not our neighbor, the Emporia
Republican, overshoot the mark to-day
in discussing the surplus? Let US see
fit does not. 1t ciphers out a sur
plus for the current year of only s., 000,-
900. The eminent republican senators,
Sherman, Allison and others, who in
PRODUCED the substitute tariff bill in
the senate lately justified it on the
ground of excessive revenue" To
bring the revenue within the needs of
the government they propose q reduc-
ton of SIS ,OO0,O 900. If our neighbor is
correct in its lingering the senate
bill is a great blunder. If, on the
other hand, the official report from the
treasury department lately published.
which estimates the surplus for the
current year at $1O4, 600, goo, be correct,
then the discrepancy between Governor
Eskridge's estimate and the one made
by the learned trainers of the substi-
tute tariff bill is a world too wide. 1t
is about seventy millions, which in all
fairness we submit is too great for
credence. Would it not be we'll for ouI
republican friends to come to an under
standing, to get ON some common
ground and hold it, agree on some
statement respecting the surplus and
stick to it?

ALL earthly things must come to an
end one time or another. The good
and the bad alike have to come to it.
There is no escape, not even for taxes,
which are popularity supposed to be I'M
ending, and now perhaps more SO than
ever. Hence congress, which seems to
have been stricken with the idea that
possibly it might in some mysterious
way be exempted from the general
doom, and should therefore live for
ever, has at last found that it has al
ready outlived its usefulness, that 1t
has shifted into the lean and slippered
pantaloon, and that death was hot on
its trail. Realizing this fact, a resolu-
ton was adopted yesterday to adjourn
tomorrow. This step could have been
taken with all propriety two months
ago, since which time nothing Of con-
sequence has been done. AS the long
est session on record. it will be memoir
able for the amount Of nothing done
by it.

Geographical Influence of High

A well-known consequence OF the
physical properties of the air is the
gradual reduction of temperature OBJ
served in ascending mountains. This,
amounting To l degree for about 800
feet of elevation, gradually produces a
change of conditions similar to that
caused by passing from the equator to-
ward the poles. and at the greatest ele-
vations an arctic climate is established
even under tropical sun. Among the
sublimest sights furnished by nature
are the great ranges of mountains
which traverse or approach the tropics.

The hardships Of country life in the
north west have abundant illustration
at present IN Ramsey county, Dakota
where as many as seventy families
are absolutely destitute of food or
fuel, and have nothing but rags to
cover their nakedness. The August
frost that destroyed their wheat and
vegetables is credited with the exist
ing poverty and restitution. It is
probable that too much honor is be-
slowed upon Jack Frost. No one viii
believe that nipping of the crops by
him six weeks ago could have reduced
the people to starvation in 80 short a
time. That is possible only in one
contingency, and that is that they
were already on the verge of starva-
ton when the frost came. Why they
should be SO is question that opens
up a field of discussion too wide to
admit its being travelled over prof.
tably Just now when the popular
mind is engrossed almost entirely with
politics.
Let it suffice TO say, however, that
while there is much IN other things,
our economic laws, for instance, there
is something also in location and eli
mate, and these admit Of remedy
present and sure, which is, come to
Kansas, where the conditions for farm
ing are unexcelled, and where Jack
Frost can do no harm to crops. Wheat
growing is the principal f&rming I'M
dustry in the northwest. Unless one
is able to follow it on an extensive
scale, it can not be made to pay. Gen.
eral farming, such as we do in Kansas,
is not possible in that high latitude.
AS the great majority of those who
seek homes in the west are small far
mers with small capital, they have nc
business in Dakota, where all they can
produce in summer hardly suffices to
provide fuel for the long and rigorous
winters of that latitude. In this par
ticular, and in fact in every one, it is
not to be compared with Kansas IN
the advantages which the latter af-
fords for general farming.
