PRACTICAL LESSONS.
How People Might be Taught the Rights
and Duties of Citizenship.

and Duties of Citizenship.
Four Indian students belonging to
the Hampton Inst tute were taken to
Hampton recently by one of their
re; clers to get an idea of public bust
ness and the duties of citizenship.
FIRST, they stopped at the bank, where
he routine of the ba king business
was explained to them. and they were
shown the great safe, and all the curl
'sities of the place. Next, they visited
he Office of the tax-collector, and
learned all about the processes by
which the public treasury is every year
replenished and emptied.
Then they called upon the mayor,
who told them what his duties were,
and explained the other departments
of the city government. They went to
tie office of the county clerk, where
they examined the records of the
ancient town, which go back to the be-
ginning of the last century. They
were greatly interested in some of the
quaint entries. Here, too, they learned
how land is bought and sold, how deeds
are drawn, executed. recorded and
Cancelled.
Finally, they took their seats in the
cou t-room, and heard part of the trial
of case. Here an Indian would find
himself at home, as he is fond of argu-
ment and takes naturally to oratory.
One OF the students, who wrote brief
account of this tour, gave his impress
'ions of the scene:
I'VE heard lawyers arguing to the
Judge on points of law. From this we
got some good ideas of law, or how a
law can be twisted to fit either side.
We heard each man make his side clear
but did not stay long enough to hear
now the Judge decided. From what
the lawyers said, they were both right,
but we were sure that somewhere be-
nd our short vision something was
wrong"
With this visit to the courtroom their
afternoons lesson in civil government
ended They returned to their college
with Keen interest in the subject, and
strongly DESTROYS of repeating their
valuable experience.
There is - hint here for teachers Of
nigh schools in which an attempt ;s
made to teach the pupils the rights and
duties OF citizenship. which surely
ought to be part of the scheme of evcrv
advanced school. Our Indian lads
however. attempted too much for one
day. A series of visits to public offices
with explanations of their uses and
methods. would be an excellent SIM,
PIGMENT to the lessons learned from the
book. = Youths Communion
