TEACHERS DEPARTMENT
A. S. sCHEETZ, EDITOR.

\ few DAYS ago a little girl IN the
preparation Of her geography lesson
came across the question, Are the
boundaries Of Italy mainly natural or
artificial?'' Not understanding the
language Of the question, she asked us
for an answer. This incident suggested
some reflections on the different meth
ods of instruction pursued by teachers.
Some would have answered this ques-
ton in one word, and the pupil, II not
ofan inquiring mind, would have gone
away satisfied. But Of what intrinsic
value would such an answer have been
10 the child? If the growth Of kno"l-
edge is conditional in the increase OF
ideas and thoughts, nothing would
have been gained. But is not mucn
of our teaching of Just this nature: Are
we not too often content with teaching
words merely, instead of ideas: sup
pose in a case like the above, the teacher
were, by few well-directed questions
and Illustrations, to make clear to the
pupirs mind the distinction between
the terms natural and artificial, the
difficulty of the question would atonce
vanish. But some teacher will perhaps
saw that such course is impracticaole
because of the lack Of time. 1t must
be confessed that apparently this Is
often true. But really, would it not be
better to have shorter lessons and more
thorough instruction than long lessons
imperfectly understood by the pupil. 1t
is a well established truth that in order
to remember for a long time any par
ticular fact it must be clearly under
stood and thoroughly grasped by the
mind. Half studied or half under
stood lessons will soon be forgotten.
Thence it would be much better to un-
dertake less and teach thoroughly what
is undertaken. 1t would result in
more healthy development OF MIND
and especially Of the understanding, a
faculty too much ignored in our system
of teaching.

A Man of Renown.

That the names Of some men who
dwell in the utmost obscurity may be-
come universally known is shown by
the following incident:
Two gentlemen once found them
selves travelling together in the corner
of a Pullman. One was a stranger in
that part Of the country; the other ap-
peared to be we'll acquainted with every
district passed through.
"You appear to know the county pret
ty well, sir::" queried the stranger.
"Yes, do," replied the other; 'my
name is household world throughout
the district"
The stranger became curious at once.

"Well." said the stranger, inpatient
ly, "who in creation are you, then?"
"I'm John Smith," was the calm
reply.

4 Teachers Weakness.

rCentral School Journal.
Nothing can be more unwiso than for
a teacher to fly into 4 passion nthe
pr, sence of his pupils. Such folly is
disastrous to good government, and
nearly always ends in modification ana
establishment to the teacher, who is
deserving of all the humiliation he
thus brings upon himself. The follow
ing laughabie incident describes the
embarrassing position in which teach
er placed himself by not bridling his
tongue when he should have done so 4:
Il left my pencil lying on my desk
moment ago." said an irritable teach
er in one of our city schools. II cannot
find it now
Nothing was said by the pupils.
II am very sure left it right here,
said the teacher, hastily turning over
the books and papers on his desk.
perhaps it is in one of your desk
drawers suggested pupil. All the
drawers are pulled out angriiy.
''No. it isn't here; knew it wasn't. |
left it right on this desk just before this
class came up TO recite,' was the frown-
ing reply, in which was conveyed the
delicate insinuation that some member
of the class had taken the pencil.
The teacher searches again all his
pockets and says, sharply
Pm positive that some one in this
room knows where that pencil is. l
want it returned to this desk immedi-
atelv."
No one moves.
Il will have that pencil again, if |
have to search every desk in this room,
Have You got it, Harry JohnSon?'
Because Harry Johnson was the most
mischievouS boy in school was l poor
excuse for the teachers accusing ques-
ton, and it was little wonder the boy
angrilv replied,-
No sir; haven't
well, some one has, and that's al
there is about t;and it has been deliber-
ately stolen from this desk
At that moment grinning little
urchin held up his hand.
"Ifyou please, teacher, the pencil Is
sticking behind your ear"
But the teacher lost that day what
he could never find again-the respect
Of his pupils.

Lawrence Barrett.

AS has been predicted by his ad
mirers, Lawrence Barrett, now sharing
the honors with Edwin Booth, is upon
| the top rounds of the ladder of tragic
fame, but his road has not been an alto
gether easy one to travel.
N. j., on April A, 1888, and he first
acted at Detroit, Mich, in 1858, in the
character of Murad in the French
Spy" He remained at Detroit for a
year, playing small parts, and then
went to the old opera house at Pitts
urg for a short season. He next ap-
peared in st. Louis and Chicago, until
December, 1856, he secured an engage
ment at the theatre in Chambers street,
New York. In the autumn of 1858 he
was engaged for leading parts at the
Boston museum, where he opened as
Frederick Bramble in ''The
Poor Gentlemau' to the Doc
tor Ollapod of the veteran
William Warren. He remained here
for two years and then went TO the
Howard athenaum in the same city,
where he again met Miss Cushman and
played with such stars as Barry Sulli-
van and E. l.. Davenport. The war
breaking out about this time, he distin-
guished himself as captain of the Twen-
ty-eighth Massachusetts, regiment.
On returning to the stage Mr.. Barrett
was engaged for the Walnut street thea
tire, Philadelphia, where he remained
for three months, going thence to Wash
ington. He then went back to Phila-
delphia, to the Chestnut street theatre,
for short time. He was next engaged
by Mr.. Booth for the Winter Garden
theatre, New York, where he played
Othello to Booths "Iogo.n While he
was playing this character, his imper-
sonation was witnessed by the elder
Wallack, who declared it to be the most
striking performance he had seen for
twenty years.
Encouraged by this Mr.. Barrett
worked along, experiencing many ups
and downs, until, in the autumn OF 1873,
he played remarkably successful en-
gagement at San Francisco, and in the
season of lS73-74 he toured in the United
States.
His next important production was
"Yorrick's Love-" at the Park theatre,
New York, in 1878. Its author is
Joaquin Estebanze, a Spanish writer,
and its original title was "A New
Play" It's American adaptor is Mr.. W.
ID. Howells, the Yell-known novelist,
Mr.. Barrett produced "Pendragon, T" in
Chicago, in the autumn of the following
year he brought out ''Francesca da
Rimini" at the Chestnut street theatre,
Philadelphia, where the tragedy Sc.
cured an instant success. In
this play he acted the hunch-
back, Lanciotto, performance
of high intelligence and rare power
and it may be said that the latter play
caused a turning point IN his career
which placed him as a great artist in
the eyes of the public. Mr.. Barrett de-
serves credit for continually bringing
out something new, his latest success
being THE Kings Pleasures" he has
also revived David Garrick's favorite
play, 1.-The Wonder." an old comedy
but good one, The old tragedy, IA
Browning, the great English poet. was
revived by Mr.. Barrett, after being laid
on the shelf for some thirty odd years.

A Noted Priest Coming to Omaha.

American Celt, March Is: The fam
GUS Stack-O'Hara case is at length set
tied, after sixteen years of litigation.
Father M. p. Stack, who was paster of
the Church of the Annunciation, in
Wiiliamsport, Pa, was removed from
his position in 1871 by Bishop O'Hara,
of Scranton. Claiming that the re-
moval was illegal and in opposition to
the canons of the church. Father Stack
carried the matter into the civil courts.
He was successful in the lower courts,
but on Bishop O'Hara's appeal tho SUI
preme court OF Pennsylvania reversed
the judgment. Father Stack recently
made at three months retreat at st.
Bonaxenture's college, Allegheny, N.
Y, and then sent in to his bishop
humble letter of submission and regret
for his contumacy. Bishop O'Hara ac-
copied the submission, restored the
priests faculties and then gave him let
ters dimissoral, or an eXeat, recon-
mending him to the kind consideration
of any right reverend bishop who might
be pleased TO receive him into his
diocese. 1t is understood that Bishop
O'Connor, of Omaha, Neb., will accept
the services of Father Stack in the
event of certain required conditions
being fulfilled.
