Educational.
How to get Right Expressions in
Reading.

One device is concert reading. 1t is
generally a failure, because the pupil drops
into the mechanical "keep-step" with his
fellow pupils Another device is imitation
by the pupil of the the teachers read
ing. This is good sometimes, but as a
standby is open to the objection that it
cultivates parroting. Another, still, is
questioning by the teacher, the pupil
reading the sentence or sentences in reply
10 the teachers question. This is bet
ter device than either of the others, but
not quite hrst-elass. 1t proceeds on a
wrong assumption, namely, that in teach
ing reading we should deal with the
language or outer envelope, as the prim-
airy thing. AS an assumption this is err
roneous, as in teaching reading, as almost
everything else, the stress should go on
the thought, with the words as secondary
matter. A fourth device, the best of all,
is to have the pupil close the book and
tell the the thought in his own words,
until he can do so clearly, and then open
the book and read If the pupil has no
bad habits, this win generally secure cor
rect expression.-Iad Sch. Journal.

A very sad affair occurred short
distance from town in Mann Valley
last Thursday. Mr.. Axel Younggren
attempted suicide by cutting his throat
at his home, and in the presence of
his family. The wound was at first
thought mortal but he still survives
with the chances in his favor. The
fearful deed was caused by financial
embarrassment and entanglements.
He had been one of the most energetic,
enterprising farmers in the st. Croix
Valley, but ventured in beyond his
depth. and failure of crops in western
Minnesota where he had large farming
and other interests drove him to such
distress that he lost moral hold on
himself and was tempted to commit,
as it seems, heavy forgeries of his
brother Swaen's name. The crowd
ing of his creditors was bringing this
to light. and he sought to take refuge
in death. Mr.. Younggren has very
model and highly respected family,
several of the children being bows of
age. 1t is expected that the children
will double their already marked in.
dustry and energy and help their faith
er to his feet again. Mr.. Younggren
is not an old man, and we expect
again to see him Drosperous and ham
py.

Mr.. Newton Stiles of this city, came
to terrible death last Saturday even.
ing. lie had been out threshlng dur
ing the week coming home with Mr..
w. W. BoswoTth Friday night. They
went into d saloon, where Mr.. Stiles
became a good deal intoxicated and
started home with Mr.. BOsworth, who
says he went with him to a short dis
lance this side of the Prairie Mills
warehouse, when they had some talk
about settlement between them, and
Stiles got cross and he went off and
left him. This was the last seen of
Stiles until Saturday evening about s
O'Clock when he was found lying on
the east bank of the river a short dis
lance from the Prairie Mill. and about
seven rods north of where the new
bridge is building. He lay on his back
with his coat off and spread over his
face and body in an unconscious and
dying condition. He lived but about
so minutes. There were some slight
bruises on his knees and elbow, and
his clothes were wet, indicating that
he had been immersed in the river. 1t
was at first thought by some that he
fell off the bank where the bridge was
to be put in. but from the appearances
it would seem that there were strong
evidences against this theory. A cor
oner's inquest was held, the jury find
ing that he came to his death from in
juries. exposure and effects of intoxi-
cation.
