The True Aims of Science Teaching.

Little children came TO me with unframed
eyes, hands and brains This | expected and
therefore WAS not surprised; but boys and
girls from 10 TO 20 years of age camc in a
worse condition, and this was unexpected
but their brains were IN a pathological condi-
ton, which rendered independent thinking
impossible. The number Of my pupils in
crcasing, and their ages ranging. as have said
from : 10 20 years, had an excellent oppor-
tunity for comparing the quality OF work
done by older and younger pupils, also by
pupils whose perceptivc faculties had been
trained in early life and those who had not
received this training. The infcrences | was
forced 10 draw from these comparisons set
me to thinking seriously.
The inaccuracy Of the observational and
manual work done by older pupils the indeti-
nitcness Of expression, the lack of system and
the inability 20 do comparative and infcren-
tial work, were 50 many revelations Of ihe
true aims of science teaching The absolute
necessity for accuracy in every study and
every department Of work made accuracy
the first object 10 be attained in every science
lesson. the vagueness OF the oral and written
statement made clear. concise expression the
second object The want Of method cmpia-
sized the need Of simple. orderly grouping
Of the observations, while the painful and
fruitless attempts TO make comparisons and
draw infsrrncsS showed tho necessity Of cul-
tivating the power Of generaliring from spc-
cifc facts. NJ. Arms in Popular Sclenco

soldiers Called Out FOR the First Time
IN Oklahoma.

soldiers Called Out for the First Time
In Oklahoms.
GUrHRIE. I. T, May 24-The soldiers
were called out here yesterday for the first
time since the opening Of Oklahoma, and
for several hours the city of Guthrie was
practically under martial law.
The meetings held every night for
week by the men who lost their lots
through contests, and by the opening Of
streets. eliminated iu a riot yesterday.
Oae OF the best lots in Guthrie was
swarned by the Board Of Arbitration to q
man uamed Discroll, Of Chicago. An old
man By the name of Diemer, Of Kansas,
occupied the front of the same lot with a
tent Driscoll erected a building on
rollers, ready TO shove it to the front rs
soon Is Diemer should vacate.
Recently the Council passed an ordinance
empowering the Marshal 10 eject every per
son whose claim for lot had been rejected
by the arbitration board. This put into
execution would affect over a thousand
persons. The city government made test
case OF the Driscoll-Diemer contest The
Marshal proceeded TO remove D,emer and
his tent. Immediately a mob OF /. 200 men
collected and dove the Marshal away
The mob was about 20 attack the City Hall
when Capt Csvanaugh and his soldiers
arrived upon the scene and dispersed them,
after which the city authorities resumed
the work Of elected Diemer. Diemer
fought like a tiger and had to be dragged
from his tent To- the street. DriscOll's s
building was then rolled forward, and the
mob attempted TO tear the house TO pieces,
but this time the city authorities wsre able
TO repulse the angry men without the aid
OF soldiers.
Last night soldiers guarded the pn1elpal
streets, and more trouble Is anticipated
when the work of eiectment Is resumed.

THE WEEKS TRADE.
Dun S 90 IS Review of Business in the Past
Week.

Dun IL Go $ Review of Business In the Past
Week.
NEW YORK, May 24-R. G. Dunn &
Co g weekly review of trade says: The re-
ports this week are more encouraging
There are decidedly better crop prospects,
and better feeling in the branches of in
dustry and trade which have been most
depressed. Iron, coal and wool look bet
ter, and a better trade in cotton is ex-
pected to follow the large auction here on
Thursday. Greater activity and better
prices in the stock market reflect feeling
of increased confidence in the business out
look.
Wool is a shade stronger, because prices
asked by growers are much above the
markets, but there is little if any change
"a vet in the attitude of manufactur-
ere. The average price of 104 grades OF
wool on the 18th was a tenth
of a cent higher than May 1st. The auction
of about 81, 500,0 900 worth of cottons
brought prices "a per cent. below those OF
agents and is expected to form basis for
more confident trading hereafter. Cotton
il sixteenth stronger, and exports as well
ss receipts now fell far behind last years,
but the crop reports from the South are
generally favorable, especially from Texse.
There lea better feeling, but as yet with
ont improvement OF priceP, in the iron and
steel trade. While Southern No. foun-
drv is still freely offered here az S16 the
higher grades of No. Western are taken
more freely at $lS at Philadelphia, and it
ia hoped the decline has been arrested.
Rer iron is in better demand. Plate
and tank are wanted to the full
capacity of the works. Structural iron
ia fairly active, and there is good
business in wrought pipe at the late ad-
vance. But in rails no change appears,
and theru ef small orders is about $26 75
at mill. In anthracite coal an advance in
nrices June 1st is announced. Wheat has
declined cent to ST cents; oats have de-
clined II cents, and corn Il cents, with
but moderate sales.
Pork products are shsde weaker, and
flour 10 to 80 cents per barrel lower.
A little improvement appears in exports
about ak per cent. over last week for three
weeks of May, but the increase in imports
is about seventeen per cent.
The failures number 229, as compared
with 252 last week, and DOT the week
nreyious. For the corresponding week
last wear the figures were 225.

A Five Gallon Dem'john Struck Soldier
in the Leg.
WASHINGTON, D. O., May 24.-Assist-
ant Secretary Russey has rendered de-
cision in the pension claim of William
Powell, late of Company D, FOrty-seventh
Pennsylvania Volunteers. The claimant,
in his application, alleges that on January
9. 1866. while in Camp Cadwalader,
Philadelphia, Pa, waiting to be mustered
out and paid, he WAS walking in the bar
racks, when corporal of his comT any
threw at him five gallon demUOhn,
which struck him on the left leg under the
knee, inflicting a severe wound fromlwhlch
he has never recovered.
The claim was originally rejected on the
grounds that the injury was received after
the applicants discharge from the service,
and that if in service the Injury had no
connection with his military duty, and
hence was not pensionsble. From this
latter view the Assistant Secretary dis
sents, and directs that if upon further ex-
animation it is found that the claimants

The Little Tycoon.

Willard Sponsors Little Tycoon" was
presented at the Opera House last evening,
and if Manager Riester had had the oppor-
tunity of selecting a company to close the
season at his house he could not have
chosen more pleasing attraction. The
house down stairs was well filed with an
audience which could discriminate between
the good and the bad, but they saw none
of the latter last evening. For bright
and catchy music and songs the
Little Tycoon" cannot be surpassed, and
people who have seen it a number Of
times never tire of it. The company was
a splendid one, but 10 particularize would
take too much space, as every one of the
principals deserve complimentary notice,
especially Mr.. X. E. Graham, who, as
Gen. Knickerbocker, was simply great.
The Little Tycoon" would draw another

QUAY AND PLATT
Becoming Weary of BeDjamin's Obsti-

Becoming Weary of BeDjAmin's Obsti
macy.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-It is not often
that two such practical and eminent poll
ticians as Senator Quay and ex-senator
Platt have asked the attention of the Pres
ident on the same dsy. Mr.. Platt was af-
ter lot of marshalships and collector
ships for trusty and useful members OF his
party faction, to-day, but he does not feel
assured that he is rs powerful with this
administration as he would like to think
he is.
1t is discovery now some weeks old,
that Mr.. Harrison is just about the most
selfwilled and obstinate man who has ever
filled the Presidential chair, and that
while he is courteous to all, the so called
political BOSSES seem to make little more
Roadway with him than lesser lights ol
the party. Both Platt and Quay are hav-
ing this discovery impressed freshly on
their minds this week.
