TEACHERS DEPARTMEN1 NJ
ARTHUR KILLER, EDITOR

It was suggested some time ago by
Prof. Scheetz that the study of fgeogra-
physhould beginwith our own county, at
home, and from this as starting point
should 60 outward. The more any one
thinks of the subject, the more forcibly
hemust be impressed with it. There is
many a child that knows more about
the geography of country hundreds
of miles from home than he does about
that ofhis own country.
Many pupils would be able to tell the
boundaries of Europe, Asia or Africa,
and the largest rivers of each, who
could not tell the boundaries of his
own country or its largest river.
This is true but should not be so.
Every school should have maps Of the
county and State in which it is located,
and the children should be taught these
thoroughly.
There is a map of Newberry county
and we should all have one.

The question of lengthening the
school term, discussed at Prosperity on
last Saturday is an important one. The
State says that the free public schools
shall be kept open at least six months
in each year. The laws Of the country
should be obeyed, all admit this. We
must not forget, however, that the
rights and welfare of the individual
should also be taken into consideration.
In some townships in our county
about enough money is appropriated to
keep the schools open for three months,
paying the teachers only twenty-five
dollars per month, even for this short
time. Would it be right or reasonable
to have the teacher serve six months
for seventy-ive dollars? BY nomeans !;
it would ue injustice, objectionable.
The State does not and cannot expect
it. It would be a severe blow at edu-
& ion.
In our opinion the better plan would
be to pay the teacher well during the
free term, and run the school several
months longer by subscription.

She was woman of so years, but
still strikingly handsome. Her eyes
would have done credit to Corsican
beauty, and her figure was rounded
and shapely. The villagers were massed
in a confused crowd in the shelter of a
bowlder gazing difidently at the visi-
tors from afar. Mrs. Finnegan ad-
dressed them in Irish, and called out
the name of her seven daughters in
rapid succession. One by one they
came out Of the crowd and Jagged to-
ward US bashfully. AS they drew near
they formed veritable beauty show.
They ranged from s to 20 years in age,
and four of them were magnificent
looking young women. They would
set East Broadway ablaze, and reduce
the young men about-town of Grand
street and the Bowery to pulp in sim
gle Sunday afternoon. One by one they
Jagged up-bare legged and bare armed.
They stood erect, but their heads
dropped slyly, and they did not raise
in unison, and battery ofappaling
effectiveness was turned on us.
"Sure," said the mother, turning to
me, "they're fit t. make their livin' in
Ameriky ; amt they SUR"
"They're fit to marry millionaires. ."
"Ah, faith, that. IS annuder ting. Who

"Where's your husband?" asked Mr..
Davitt, suddenly.
The question plunged Mrs. Finnegan
into deep thought.
"The blayguard," she murmured
softly, lis sumwhere-O, yes"
She dived into her cabin, dragged q
a recumbent figure vigorously out in
the daylight, and pulling him up into
an upright position, leaned him against
the wall.
"God speed you. Mr.. Daritt," cried
Mr.. Finnegan, courtesying promptly,
"may your heart be opened to the poor

BRACKETTvILLE, Tex, March T.
At the Indian camp near Fort Clark
there resides an old negro who was for
many years a slave among the Semi
mole Indians, who is probably the only
living man who was with the savages
at the time they attacked and massa-
cred Major Francis L. Dade's command
in the Florida war on the 28th Of De-
cember, 1885. This old man is Dembo
Facto, now some so years of age. 1t will
be remembered that Dade's command
of United States soldiers was marching
quietly. along the road when twas sud-
denly assailed and the whole number,
consisting of eight officers and ninety
nine men, killed or wounded. In fact,
but three men escaped, all Of whom
were badly shot.
~ know the time very well" says
Dembo, "for I was one of Micanopy's
orderlies on that day, and the great
chief Micanopy commanded all the In
dians in Florida. The soldiers had
started out for the days march, and
Major Dade had just mounted his horse
and was eating piece of cracker, when
Micanopy called out to him from his
hiding place on the side of the road. At
the sound of his voice Dade threw up
his head and Micanopy fired, the ball
striking him in the throat and going
threw, killing him at once. The SOL
diers fixed up kind ola pen, in which
they all went, and were killed one af-
ter another. Micanopy had four order
lies, and was one Of them, being at
that time stout and healthy young
man"
When the Seminoles departed from
Florida and went first to the Indian
territory and then to Il place called
Laguna de Jaco, in Mexico, DENLY ac-
companied them, always doing we'll ac-
cording to the knowledge within him,
and proving true to his friends. The
old mans face always brightens up
when speaking of Micanopy, who was
the ablest leader the Indians ever had in
Florida.
"Oh, he was great chief" said the
old man. my, my, he was a great
chief, and was his orderly. You know,
the white generals had orderlies, and
SO did Micsnopy, for he was famous in

Ofwhat use is the diagram in grammar
the pupil already understand the SEN
tence which is parsing? If he can an
alyze it, what good will it do to have
him draw a figure on the black board,
representing the relations of the differ
ent parts? A great deal, Why? Be
cause it shows at 6 glance whether the
learner is really master of the subject.
His simply parsing the sentence does
not amount to much. It becomes after
while a dull, lifeless useless repeti-
ton.
The diagram, with almost mathe-
matical precision, shows Enthusiastically
the relations the words bear to each
other.
It would not be sufficient, in teach
ing geometry to have pupil repeat in
words, without the aid of diagram,
the demonstration of a proposition. 1t
would be merely waste of time.
We do not claim that the diagram is
as useful in grammar as in the exact
science, yet for this reason it should not
be entirely overlooked.
We should use the diagram in teach
ing grammar.

One of the best algebras that we have
ever seen, and one well suited to the
wants of Academies and high schools is
Weller's Academic. From the first to
last it is complete. The important
principles of the science are thoroughly
demonstrated. Factoring, subject so
important in algebraic operations, and
sonecessary for the pupil to understand,
is we'll illustrated. The book is well
adapted to the work of our best high
