member can be rendered useless by taking
from it the work it is able to do. Now for
the educational application. Whips and
rods are crutches. They often relieve in
apparent difficulties, but in the end induce
weakness and often incurable disease Per-
centage standings are wonderful helps when
the abilities of pupils are to be taxed, but
In the end they weaken the powers that
ought to be strengthened. 1t is not economy
to overwOrk pupils. Ability to do and bear
comes by growth. A glass of brandy gives
fictitious strength, only to be followed by
weakness. The examining of facts is
crutch that gives apparently great show
of wisdom, whereas it is only an evidence
of ignorance. When pupil commits to
memory fact" isolated and alone from
its educational associations, he Is only using
crutch to help him in appearing to know
when, in fact, he is ignorant. A fact is a
grand thing when it is learned, but it is a
horrible nuisance and snare when words
are only committed to memory. We learn
by processes of investigation. The mind
must be brought into contact with truth by
gradual processes, and discover it for itself
Every pupil is self-educated and the pro-
cesses of education are always pleasant
1.-THE number of facts pupil learns is by
no means the measure of his success" We
do not need novelty or new things, but we
do need interest.
Examinations may be crutches, and again
they may not. That depends upon how
they are used. Rightly used, no force so
powerfully educates as an examination,
and then again, no force so powerfully re-
presses. We have known pupils to jump
for JOY in the prospect of an examination,
and then again we have known children to
cry all the night before the day of ordeal.
All examinations are good that are sduca-
tiye. This is a fundamental principle.
All examinations are bad that produce evil
speaking, envy, malice, wrath, and fault
finding. If they point out defects and pro-
duce a sincere desire for Improvement and
efforts in that direction they are not crutches,
but food on which the mind grows strong

His Congressional Career.
Defeated for congress In 1854, Mr.. Pendle-
ton was returned In 1856, and was elected for
four successive terms. In the national Demo-
cratic convention Of 1854, at Chicago, when
Gen. George b. Mcclellan was nominated for
presidency, Mr.. Pendleton received the
second place on the ticket Before the ma
tional Democratic convention of 1868, which
assembled at New York, he was prominent

Pendleton was elected United States senator

the expiration of his senatorial term of six
years he was appointed in 1885 as minister to
Berlin. which position he held until sue
ceeled by William w. Phelps last spring.
Gentleman George"
Perhaps Mr. Pendleton's greatest accom-.
plishment as statesman was the prominent
part he took in the advocacy of civil service
reform. He was chairman of the senate COM
mittee having the matter in hand. AS such
he introduced, in the year 1880, the bill that
became law in 1882. In person Mr.. Pendle-
ton was taller than the average man. His
figure was stout his head large and his neck
short. He was always well dressed, and was
the pink of correct department and gentle
manly courtesy. This always characterized
him and won for him, twenty years ago, the
title, Gentleman George"
In 1916 he married Miss Alice Key, of Bal
timore, whose father, Francis Scott Key, was
shot by Daniel E. Sickles for alleged inti-
macy with the latter's wife. Inheriting great
wealth, Mr.. Pendleton's investments were
profitable and his luck commensurate. AS
an actor his style was polished and elegant

speak in public without the most careful,

votes, to Mckinley, AZ; Cannon, "a; Hender-

are recorded as doubtful and likely to be
scattered among the various candidates.
Many of these scattering votes, it is thought,
will go to the man who has the best chance
of winning. II this is not clear by the time

SPELLING.

SPELLING.
1t Is said that the good spoilers of the
present generation of American pupils, are
not as numerous as the last. There IGay
be some truth in this accusation in some
places, but generally, we believe that there
never was time when people wrote as
correctly as to-day. The daily newspaper
Is constant object lesson.
There are few principles underlying
spelling, which will be of great assistance
to those who are seeking light on this sub
ject.
l. No word should be spelled that is not
a direct expression of the pupils thought.
2. If possible, pupils should never see a
word incorrectly spelled, or never be allow
ed to write word incorrectly. This is the
ideal, although it is impossible to attain
perfectly to it.
8. Pupils should be trained to know
when they do not know how to spell word.
This is very important point they should
learn to ask for word whose form they do
not know, and then the correct form should
be written on the board or they may con-
suit the dictionary for themselves. 1t is
better to have pupil find out how to spell
word that he does not know how, than to
ask teacher or pupil. The mental effort
of determining the correct form will fix it in
his mind.
4. Thinking and expression, both oral
and written, going hand in hand, will help
correct spelling very much.
These principles are not new, but they
are very important; teachers who follow
them carefully will soon see their beneficial
effects.

A pint of shoe-pegs, costing five cents,
can be used in many ways. A simple table
in addition, subtraction, multiplication, or
division may be written on the board. and
the little pupils make it on their states or
desks, with the pegs; then they can make
pictures of houses, animals, ETC., or form
the Roman capital letters with the same.
2. A box of wooden toothpicks, costing
eight cents, may be used in forming geomet-
rical figures, etc.
3. A fifteen-cent box of colored pencils,
or crayons, give much pleasure, when the
little ones are allowed to color the pictures
in sample leaves of histories, seed and flower
catalogues, or to draw outline pictures for
and then color them.
A. Give small pieces of newspaper, OF

5. Write list of words, each containing a
