Richland County's Write ii
Heard From.

Heard From.
The following letter is just re-
celved from DR.. Baldwin, VIII ich
will be read with pleasure by the
doctors many friends here:
Mr.. GEO. P. GARRED.-Dear Sir:
l received TIE TIMES of the 10Th
inst. this morning and was much
pleased and gratified by the excel
lent showing of Richland county's
wheat crop this year. 1t is a great
blessing to the people there and
rejoice with you. Shall keep the
papers to show my friends what a
verltablc erich land' county you
have, and perhaps may be able to
induce some one to find home
with you. 1 am satisfied that there
are many here who can barely make
a living, who could in few years
become independent in Dakota.
Joliet, where l am located is a
city of about 10000 inhabitants and
growing steadily, being a great
manufacturing place. Its stone
quarries, iron and wire mills, -four
and paper mills employ a great
many men. Minnie and keep
pretty well. although I have been
troubled with rheumat ism quite a
good deal. Wish 1 could hunt
geese with you this fall, but must
forego that pleasure now.
With regards personally, and wife
am yours respectfully,
Fl. II. BALDWIN,.

Made Everybody Weary.

The Republican rally at Seely's
opera house, Saturday evening, was
the thinnest political meeting ever
seen in Richland county. 1t was
really a pitiable thing! The lunatic
from Florida disguised everybody,
Ex-Gov. Pierce developed the fact
that he is no good on the rostrum.
Miller tried to talk and couldn't,
Hansborough made everybody tired !
And Col. Plummer got off some of
his old gags. An old subscriber
goes through a column or more try
ing to show his disappointm ent
with that rally!

A Lie Nailed.

Some of our Republican friends
have been making the statement to
us and to others that the Hon w. N.
Roach is prohibitionist, and is at
the head Of an organization of that
sort. And we, knowing that Mr..
Roach was really no prohibitionist,
wrote r. w. Cults, Grand Forks,
Democratic Central Committeeman,
asking for information, and the fol-
lowing answer was received this
morning:
HEADQUARTERS oE DEN1oC RATIc1
CENTRAL COMMITTEE,
GRAND FORKS, N. D.. Sept. II, 1889.
GEO. P. CARED. ESQ.,, WAHPEToN-DEAR SIR
Your letter to Mr.. Cults relative
to Mr.. Roach has been turned over
to me. In reply will state that to
my certain knowledge Mr.. Roace is
not now nor has he ever been a
prohibitionist. But he is TEN.
perate man in every way and
always has been. There is not
to-day in Grand Forks county man
of known opposition to prohibition
who is so highly respected for his
private habits as Hon. w. N. Roach
Should you need any further as.
surance of the truth of the above
we can send you statements from

licans, Democrats, Prohibltionists
and High License men.

OUR DEFICIENCIES AND NEEDS
by j. II. WALBRIDGE.

by j. Ii. w ALBRIDGE.
That it is the duty OF all school off
GERS to unite in a resolute systematic
effort to secure better attendance,
and therefore better schools, is as
clear as an axiom. 1t is plain that
such action should be general, based
upon consideration of duty and
principle, and wholly removed from
even an appearance of favoritism
and attempted interference with
personal rights. 1t is believed that
a movement so ordered and admin
istered will deserve and receive that
active co operation Of public senti-
ment. which alone can ensure its
success.
There has, unquestionably, existed
a feeling Of apathy and discourage
,nent on the subject Of education,
and it has naturally been most mani.
fest. in the smaller and poorer rural
districts. The causes are many and
obvious, and some of them take root
in industrial depression. Depression
of prices, hard times, the movement
of population from the hill farms to
the villages and the great West, the
demand for labor in the mechanical
trades at better prices than are
realized on the farm, and the conse-
quent lowering of the average age
of leaving school, the seeming ne
cessity of hiring cheaper teachers
and the consequent sending of the
advanced scholars away to school
all Of these, and many other causes
have combined to lower the tone OF
public sentiment and the efficiency
Of the schools.
The cost of furnishing new text
books with each change Of residence
has been a fruitful cause Of non
attendance. This burden has fallen
most heavily upon that transient

PREsIpENT HARRsoN's MESsAGE.

PRESIDENT HARRtSoN'S MESSAGE.
The first message Of President
Harrison is a notable state paper.
Il touches at every important point
the entiie circle of FEDERAL govern
mental relations, and at no point of
contact is the President to be found
wanting. Every line of the docu-
ment shows that he has carefully
considered The various aspects of
every subject he discusses; and,
having formed his opinion, he states
it, modesily but clearly and en-
phatically. One is struck by the
fact that, upon no contro-
verified point of national policy, has
Mr. Harrison failed to express him
self, and the reader is inclined more
and more to defer to the souRdncss
of the Presidents judgment as he
goes on in its perusal.
We have not the space to go over
the points of this admirable docu-
ment seriatim. 1t will bear test that
very few presidents messages of
late years could endure-a careful
reading. 1t is 50 clear, so positive,
in the positions it takes, it covers
the ground Of administration and
legislation 50 thoroughly, that the
ordinary reader VINO begins its per-
usal is impelled to finish it. 1t is a
compact resume Of patriotic Repub,
.lican doctrine on every matter that
has a political character, and on
o. non-partisan points it appeals
equally to men of all parties.
Tie first nine months of a Presi-
dental term are, from the very ma
ture of the case, extremely unsatis-
factory ones to the new incumbent.
lie enters upon his office at the close
of Congress. For nine months he
mnst perforce stand idle, with no
means Of indicating his policy, and
without the political agitation, which
is always favoring factor,
that always comes with the meeting
of Congress. Mr.. Harrison has
been sufferer from this forced in
action in a marked degree. The
spoilsmen were disgruntled because
he did not guillotme every Demo
cratic office holder, despite the
pledges of the Republican platform
in favor Of civil service reform; and
in the qniescenL state of politics, the
growls Of the place hunters filledthe
land, until the Democrats had be-
gun talk Of "ilarrison's unpopular
ity" with his own party.
The message has changed all that.
IL will act like the beat of long
roll on the slumbering camp. He
has thrown down the gauntlet to
.the Bourbon and free trade foe, and
challenged them to combat. They
will accept the gage Of battle, while
the Republican hosts, shaking oil
their apathy, will rush to the fray
with newly-inspired vigor. There
will be no more inaction, no more
lack of support of the Republican
executive. Benjamin Harrison, il
his first message to Congress, has
shown himself a worthy leader of 9
mighty cause, and no Republican
who really believes in the principle.
of his party will fail to give him his
hearty and unwavering support.

class of our people, the foreign ele-
meut of the numbering regions, who
are least able to bear il. The result
has often been thet entire families
have been withheld frcm the schools
To this class free text books would
prove a boon, bet state uniformity
would be a great improvement on
the past system. The change made
by our new law from town to county
selection Of text books, the proposed
adoption of voluntary state uni
formity, the consequent decreased
cost and fewer kinds of text books
in use, the better classification meth
DDS and instruction that are sure to
follow; these are unmistakaLle signs
that we have passed that darkest
hour that precedes the dawn of a
brighter and better future for the
schools of Vermont.
What we need first and most is a
genuine revival on the subject of
education; a revival which will per-
wade all classes; a revival which
shall be based upon a clear recogni-
ton of our reeds and deficiencies;
and a resolu;e effort all along the
line to improve.
1t seems better policy to attract
our scholars to the schools than to
attempt to drive them to attend.
With this object in view our school
houses should. he made comfortable,
well furnished, and attractive. A
very large proportion of our school
houses are in fair condition, and
others might easily be made so by
inexpensive repairs. There are a
few, perhaps not more than half
dozen, that are absolutely unfit for
their purpose, and are not worth re-
pairing. We expect, at the proper
time, these structures will be re-
placed by modern convenient school
houses. There is a great deficiency,
almost an entire absence, Of school
furniture in most of the schools OF
! the county. The need of supply
ing this deficiency does not seem to
have been recognized in tive past,
for we usually find committees will
ling to provide for obvious necessi
ties
For the present we shall consider
only the subjects of globes and wal
maps. Many scholars have very
imperfect conception of mathematI
cal geography, the motions Of the
earth and their results, and the To-
cation of the zones. A globe is a
great assistance in Illustrating and
explaining the SANE, and can be
purchased at prices ranging from
SOC to S.. The sense of sight is TIE
avenue through which our most
vivid ana lasting impressions arc
formed. An object once clearly
seen by the natural eye, and appre.
hended by the understanding, is in
delibly imprinted upon the memory
We wish to know objects rather than
words, and we can learn of them
more readily and truly by using the
senses on the objects themselves, OF
their representatives,, than by any
mere verbal description. The stu
dent Of botany or mineralogy car
learn from the books the CLASH
fcaton Of plants and minerals, but
unless such knowledge is reinforced
by a personal observation of the
objects described, it will be of little
practical value, and is soon forgot
ten.
