GUTHRIE %. IT,, Sept A sensation
has been caused here by the publication of
heretofore overlooked section of the law
which makes it misjemeanor for any per-
son or corporation to hire man to 90 Into
any Indian reservation and take up claim
on land and afterward turn it over to those
persons or company. Many banks, mer-
camille houses and other companies and
hundreds of private persons have engaged
parties to do this very thing, and the dis
covery of this law creates CONSERVATION on

Sherman and the Drummer Boy.

Sherman never forgot that little drum
mer boy, who came to him in the hot fight
at the rear of Nicksburg. and when it
came in his power he had the youngster ap-
pointed to the Naval Academy at Annapolis
The troops were in the heat of the en-
gagement, when Sherman heard a shrill,
childish voice calling out to MIN that one
of the regiments was out of ammunition,
and that the Llen would have to abandon
liet. He looked down and there by the
side of the horse was mite of boy with
the blood running from a wound in his
leg.
IAN right, my boy" said the general,
IN send them all they need but as YOU
seem to be badly hurt, you had better 90
and find surgeon and let him fix YOU up. :"
The boy saluted and started to the rear
while Sherman prepared to give the re-
quired order for the need of ammunition.
But he once more heard the piping voice
shouting back to him: General, caljbre
fifty-eight. Calibre fifty-elght." Glancing
back, he saw the little fellow, all uncon-
scious of his wound, running again toward
him to tell of the character of the ammu-
milton needed as another size would have
been of no use, and left the men as badly
of as before. Sherman never could speak
too highly of the little fellows pluck; he
asked him his name, complimcnted him,
and promised to keep an eye upon him,
which he did.

Every year finds many young persons Of
both sexes who are standing on the thres
hold of the teachers vocation, waiting ad-
mission and trial in the complex work Of
public school instructor. Many Of them
are shivering at The thought 0f testing
their knowledge before keen examiners, as
though this were the most severe trial of
their qualifications 10 be met in their new
experience. II they can somehow get
around this bugbear, by some coy strategy
elude an examination, they seem to vainly
think they have scored the hrst victory az
,hrewd candidate. Now this is most
decided and too often fatal error.
Candidates fer teaching should court
rather than evade an examination. They
should be thoroughly confident of their
own scholarship and ability to teach and
govern. They should not only be satisfied
to instruct the most backward school, but
they ought to be clearly convinced that
required in our public school course. 1t is
wise to begin with small schools, but SCI.
dom advisable TO start out with small
and uncertain stock of lore. There is
nothing that will more surely unnerve and
confound young teacher than constant
ly coming in contact with scholars who
know or have good reasons to believe they
know more than the teacher. 1t is proof
right to the position he occupies. 1t dis
arms him for all honest, conscientious
work and causes him to resort to a policy
of subterfuge and deception or sit at the
feet of his pupils as learner
1t is a most humiliating situation for a
teacher to find himself in, destructive Of
selfrespect and personal dignity. And
while it is healthful for teacher to hold
spirited controversies on difficult points"
with advanced pupils, yet the teacher
should generally be able to bring the pupil
superior grasp Of the subject involved.
And while a teacher should be self-re-
liant and confident, yet he should not start
out filed with the vanity of egotism, or
too many wild dreams of great things to
be done. In fine he should not have too
much theory. He must be close and OBJ
servant student of human nature, and
tread along the path of experimental
teaching with slow and cautious move
ment.
He should study the best models, and
adopt as the foundation Of his work the
methods and systems that have assured
success to others; and when he can per-
fectly and successfully do what others
have done, then he can safely advance
along the line of experimental teaching.
Only when he has become successful imi.

tator is he prepared to develop into a sue
cessful experimenter.
If he has the wisdom, he should select
the best from the various systems of in
| struc'ion and rooted in these and aided by
his own fertile genius. he may gradually
grow into system of his own. that he
may handle with skill and success pecu-
liarly his own. Few can attain success
now by original originality. We live IN too
many ages of wisdom TO cover the distance
by one leap.
He should start out with good degree
OF confidence in human nature. not simply
in the innate goodness and integrity Of the
race, but in the power Of human nature to
shape, inspire and lead human nature. He
must believe in the power of right, sym
pathetic, noble personality, ard strive him
self to mpersonate that ideal He must
not enter his work with the strained idea
that children are but soldiers Of a smaller
growth, that have but to be ordered into
line of duty, and obey as under the pres
sure of military necessity, that they are
like so many inanimate things that can be
moulded without adverse struggle or re-
sistance into almost any form or pattern.
but that child is the most easily moulded
and quickly unmoulded of any class Of hu-
man beings, and that a uniform tempera-
turc of moral atmosphere and steady ap-
plcation of one policy are necessary to
make of them loyal, devoted, industrious
subjects of the school kingdom They
must know when they have done right
that they have done right, they must be
made to feel that every good in them
