Report of Association held at Maiden
Rock, March I'd, 1889.
Meeting called to order at 1890 A. NJ.
by Pres. w. C. Owen, who appointed W.
g. Hartranft as critic for the day.
S. I. Irvine read an essay on Grammar.
(a) Its function in the common schools.
(b) How to teach it.
An animated discussion followed in
which w. G. Hartranft objected to teach
ing grammar in our common schools,
stating that language was what was
needed.
C. j. Brewer would teach it. LIST, for
mental culture; I'd, for correct use of
language.
The following resolutions were then
presented:
RESOLVED, That the primary object in
teaching Language" is proper use of
language in expression of thought; of
grammar, mental culture.
RESOLVED, That grammar" as used
above should not be taught in our COM
mon schools.
The first resolution was adopted by the
members of the association, and the sec
ond was referred to w. G. Hartranft, to
be reported upon by him at the associa-
ton to be held at Maiden Rock March
80, 1889.
The next topic presented was Penman-
ship, by Fred. Inabnit. He gave short
talk explaining his methods of teaching
writing. His remarks were wholly practi-
cal and should be commended in this, as
practice and experience is what we need
instead of too much theory. Theory is
all right in its place, but practice is bet
ter.
The principal point in dispute during
the discussion was in regard to whether
it was best to use lines for spacing or not.
The majority thought it was, at least in
the Primary and Middle Forms. W. G.
Owen would not use spacing lines and
stated that all that was necessary was to
have the writing legible. Supt. Brewer
remarked that we should aim at correct
form of letters, which was agreed upon
by the majority of teachers present.
An adjournment was then taken until
Ills P. NJ.
The afternoon session opened with the
presentation of the subject, COLLECTS of a
recitation and how to obtain them," by
w. G.. Hartranft. He placed the follow
ing outline upon the blackboard for in
spection by the members of the associa-
ton, using it as basis for his talk upon
the subject:

Evidence OF the Premature Burial of q
Young Girl.
MADISON, Wis, Dec. ia sad case
of premature burial has just developed
here. About month ago diphtheria
appeared in the house of prominent
family. A young domestic was terri
bly, frightened and desired to go to her
home in the country, but the attending
physician would not permit her, not
from fear of spreading the disease, but
to render assistance to the family. \
young child died of the dread disease,
and this, with the horror of diseases,
caused the girl to take to her bed, and
she apparently died in a few hours,
and was at once buried by the author
tiles. A few days ago her parents OBJ
tained permission to remove the body
to the country, and upon opening the
casket they were Mortified to discover
that the body was lying on its face, the
hair wrenched from the head and the
flesh literally torn from the face and
hands

Grave Accusations Against Henry Craw.
ford, Of Chicago.
CHICAGO, Dec. l5.-FOr two days
past two prominent Indiana lawyers,
General Lew Wallace and Lew Hatch,
have been at the Grand Pacific Hotel
on secret mission, and extraordinary
measures nave been taken to prevent
publicity. The object of the visit, how
ever, was manifested when they ap-
peared in Judge Gresham's chambers
and laid before the Judge charges of a
sensational character against Henry
Crawford, the well known Chicago
lawyer and railroad speculator.
The accusations against Mr.. Craw-
ford are, in brief, that in 1885 he
bought the Midland Railway Company
of Indiana for $40, 900 at foreclosure
sale, and within a short time thereaf-
ter originated scheme for floating
bonds for $40, 10000 upon road the
value of whose rolling stock, right of
way and all other assets was
not over $4,000. Fraud of bold
and ingenious kind is charged against
him, and on portion of the slO,OO0,-
600 issue of bonds 1000 are known
to have been obtained with prospect
that this is only part of the sum
fraudulently realized.
Messrs. Wallace and Hatch represent
the Loan e Investment Company of
New York, which claims to be victim
of Mr.. Crawford's railroad financiering
to the extent of Sl5O, 900 and is tho first
to complain.

Reasons Why the Number OF Justices
Should He Increased.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-One of the
reasons which the Supreme Court JUS
tices think should have weight in favor
of the passage of bill to increase the
number of Justices of the Supreme
Court bench is the large territory over
which some of them have to preside
when they go on circuit during the
summer recess of the court. Justice
Miller's circuit includes Colorado,
Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska
and the Northwest. This circuit is the
one Judge Brewer has presided over,
and there is a unanimity of opinion
among lawyers that it is too large for
one Circuit Judge, and that the extreme
Western territory should be divided by
creating ut least two additional SUI
preme Court Justices to sit with the
Circuit Judges in the new made dis
trict when not on the bench at Wash
inptOn.
