4 an experience Of Two years
Us School Commissioner and several
years bas teacher, we are thoroughly
a convinced that practical teaching is
being seriously neglected in the pri-
yate ~ we'll rs the public schools.
lsftherc any reason Why such should
be the case r We can see none.
Text books are nothing but i~tstr,t,
mcnts In the hands OF teachers. They
are not intended to supplant indi-
vidtual judgment; nor arc they
Intended to supply the sphere of tho
teacher. After each recitation has
been completed, then, it is the duty
OF the teacher to SEQ that each indi-
yidual in the class has been impressed
by the principles contained in the
recitation. 1t is true, there is great
difference III the talents Of children,
even in tho Same fam ..ly. The
teacher car and should see that each
pupil has a definite conception Of
the recitation, be he possessed of II
talent or five talents, or let it take
one day Dr. one week. Those who
are possessed of one talent deserve
as much attention as those who. arc
endowed with more than one talent.
The skill of tho teacher is displayed
in advancing those who arc considered
s0teU, or endowed with one talent.
We, in our judgment of tho ability
OF pupils, arc often deceived. Those
who appear DILL arc often tho most
thoughtful. Prillion talents arc
often suppressed by indiscretion on
the part of the teacher. The teacher,
to be successful in his profession,
must be q diligent student of human
nature. S. p. S%TRBL1NG.

The Balance OF W
FARMERS ALLIANCE IN POLITICS

tFrom the Now York Herald.
WAsHINGToN, November Ono
feature of the late election has
caused more genuine surprise and
CONSERVATION in the Republican ranks
than the results achicvShby the new
element in the lpelitics OK the coun-
try@Jtbgees&& Farmers Alliance.
Tho advent of this new party was
hailed with delight by the Ropubli-
~anslcaders. They knew its strength
would be mainly confined to the
South and trans Mississippi States.
Confident of their enormous MAORI
ties IN such States as Kansas, Ne
braska and Minnesota, they thought
The Alliance could not work them
serious harm, and they viewed the
movement as nj we'll calculated to
break up tho existing political lines
IN the South. AT last, they exclaimed
with one voice, a political force has
been found which will destroy tho
Democratic solidity of the South
and which will split the Bourbon
cohorts in twain. How sadly they
deceived themselves the results of
the recent elections fully demon
stratc.
While in the Southern States the
s.Allianco mon, almost to n man Demo-
Gratis went into control Democratic
primaries and conventions, their
brethren of the West, largely Rcpub-
~iicans, held aloof from the old party
and decided to make their own nomi-
nations and go it alone. The reason
for this difference in the policy of
the organization III the two sections
was doubtless due TO the fact that
while in tho South the Democratic
party was already committed to
many of the principles advocated by
the Alliance, the Republican party
in the West and elsewhere was com
mitted to no single one of them.
The Alliance in tho South was salts
fled in the main with Democratic
policy, and only aspircd to control
that party so as to shape it's lcgisla-
ton in certain directions, but in the
W est the Alliance was heartily dis
gustcd with Republican policy, and
it realized hat the record Of the
party in Congress left no hope of
securing any Of the desired reforms
at its hands.
In alabama the Alliance nearly
succeeded in nominating the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor. In
Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee
and Texas it did succeed in CONTROL.
ing the Democratic State Convcn-
tons and in placing its mcn at the
head of the tickets, and they have
been elected. In some fifteen Con
gressional Districts in the same
States Alliance Democrats secured
the domination over "rcgulars," aud
in many Others, where they failed,
the Democratic nominees, since
elected, are pledged to the Alliance
platform, with the single exception
Of the Sub Treasury scheme. In at
least two States, Georgia and South
Carolina, it is believed the Alliance
will control the selection of the
United States Senator. The Ali
ance in the South has not injured
the Democratic party; it has merely
dominated lis nominations in certain
localities.
3H How different the result i'm the
West! In four States hitherto re-
agardcd as vcritablc Gibraltars of
Republicanism the Alliance has
fairly overwhelmed the Republican
ticket. In Kansas a Republican
