Department of Education.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, June 8,
lS01.-MY DEAR SIR: BY this time
most of the teachers and taxpayers
of the state who read the papers
know that the Thirty.sixth general
assembly passed an institute law.
This law provides for a Teachers
institute of one month in every couu.
ty of the state to train and license
teachers, and a state training school
to train and license Institute conduct
ors and instructors. The state train
ing school will I've held at Warrens.
burg, Mo-, from June &c, to July Z,
inclusive, and will be one of the most
memorable educational gatherings
ever held in the west. l have Just
finished a two months tour of the
state, and have carefully conferred
with more than 500 leading educa-
tors. Three or four hundred of Mis-
souli's leading educators will go up
to this training school 10 carefully
study the actual wants of the COM
mon schools, and from this training
school they will go out as licensed in
structors to train the teachers of the
ia counties.
Every step taken at the training
school will have definitely in view the
improvement of every common dis
trict school in the state. The central
object of this law, and Of my admin
~istration, is TO improve the common
schools where the masses of the peo-
pie must yer be ~educaten, and indi-
rcctly the higher institutions of learn
ing that depend upon the common
schools for their success.
| am confident that no grand edu-
cational strides can be made in Mis-
souri, unless backed by a strong pub.
lie opinion. The press presents the
great avenue to the people. Through
the press of the state, l can reach
every school district, and every read,
ing teacher and taxpayer.
On account of the weakness and
Indifference of some county COM
to commissioners, and the incompe.
tence and Indifference of q certain
per cent. of our teachers, it will re.
quirc a united effort to secure good
Institutes the incoming summer.
After this summer the task will be a
much easier one. l therefore ask you,
as a special favor, to print this arti-
ticle in order to make public senti.
ment among the taxpayers and pa
irons.
l wish also to arrange, during the
session of the State Teachers asso-
citation and training school, to fur.
nish every paper in the state a brief
account of our proceedings. This
account will be furnished in the form
of brief paragraphs. AS everything
done in these state meetings is in the
interest of all the school districts of
the state, l am exceedingly anxious
that the people know what we are
doing. II you willing to print a brief

ROCK CREEK,

Wheat, We fear, is not so good as
thought to be.
Messrs. Elias and David Chambers,
from near Elston, spent Saturday
evening fishing on Rock Creek. They
tshed patiently, and we understand
they met with the ordinary fisher
mans luck.
The Rev. VIM. Kenney Of Monlteau'
county, spent Saturday night and
Sunday with Rev. r. NJ. Tagart.
Most Of our neighbors and neigh
bors' sons attendedithc circus.
Two political pugilists, in the per-
sons of Gen. William Dawson of Rock
Creek, and Major John Wood of
Lime Stone, Mt, met last week at o
neighbors house. George Dawson
opened up the discussion. He led the
Major back to the foundation of our
government and traced the two old
parties up to the present day. He
proceeded to show the Major that
the republican party had wei been
and is at the present day the party Of
progress and reform, and then con
cluded with much emphasis, by say
ing that the democratic party had
always Deen anything and everything
for office, and had never done any
thing but oppose good measures.
This argument seemed unanswerable,
but Major Moad was equal to the
occasion. He drew his chair along
side the General, slapped him on the
knee and retorted, that the democrat
party was the true party; that
through it was the only hope of relief
from burdensome taxation and unjust
legislation. He proceeded to remind
the alliance men who were present,
that if they expect relief they must
ally themselves with the democratic
party, %whereupon there was a MUIR
muir among the third party men, who
began an attack upon both old parties
and the assembly, adjourned.
There was a heavy rain in this vi.
entity accompanied by wind, doing
considerable damage to wheat.

Footprints of the Worlds History.

1t is o relief to pick up a new book
that is atsonce thrilling, romantic,
wholesome, pure and true. Such a
work is "Footpr!nts of the Worlds
History" the latest and greatest
work of the two celebrated historians
John Clark Ridpath and William 5.
Bryan. These distinguished gentle
men, having won their laurels by in
dependent writings, have co-operated
on this work and produced a gem of
the ''purest ray sersne;'' it is not a
dry, uninteresting statement of the
plain facts, but rather each of the
most important events of history has
been taken up and described by a
maetcr of language, who holds the
reader entranccd as lie .wends his
way along the path of history, fol-
lowing carefully in the footprints Of
progress.
We are delighted with this superb
volume; perfect in thought, superb in
style. and magnificent in execution :;
the bindings are sumptuous, as are
also the many illustrations and COL
ored plates. The publishers have
rightly concluded that such a gem
should have a rich setting.
IL is a valuable addition to litera-
ture; it is q book for the old as well
as the young the married as well as
the single; the gay as well as the
grave; everybody will read it with
equal eagerness and profit it is sold
only through agents, and the Pub.
fishers advertisement appears in an
other column. 2t

over his election TO the Office OF School
Commissioner in the town of s., He as
81 rted that when he assumed the duties Of
his position he intended to go into it for

felt. So no one was surprised at the first

pugnacious mood.
"Pve heern lots o'complaints about the

Every man on the Democratic side
knows that no ADLER man ever occupied the
Speakers chair The men who have
watched Mr. Reed for two years cannot be
mistaken as to his ability. Through all
these weary days and months he has been
as punctua as the clock. lie has not lost
a week in the two sessions. He has never
lost his temper however exasperating or
turbulent the situation. His poise and
GOODNESS are remarkable. He has never
failed to decide point of order with such
clearness and eXactness as to disarm all OPP
position. Again and again he has slenced
the most captous of Democrats by the
sheer force and precision Of his statement.
His rulings have never been over ruled.
No man ever maintained the dig
nifty of his office with more faultless de-
corum. OF all the men called to
the chair in the last two years he alone
could command the House at all times and
under all circumstances. We doubt if there
is another man in America who could have
done it 80 successfully. With al
his faults, Thomas B. Reed is big, brave
brainy, and honest man. He will be heard
from again. Among $50 men he will easily
be number one, and it will make very lit
tie difference whether the majority ii
Democratic or Republican. Where Nc
Gregor sits there will be the head Of the

Inc Cu1ticaiio0 Of TIE 1oice

Every one may not be blessed by nature
with pleasant voice; but almost every
one can by endeavor attain something Ike
1.-THE inspiration, the respiration, the
incubation, the pitch. Some may be con-
demned even in the cradle to the tones
which makes you wish TO clap your hands
to your ears; but d vast number, If taken
in time, can be made, to say the very
last, not unpleasant If not exactly de-
lightful. 1t needs early training and con-
slant care to bring about the metamor-
phosis. From the beginning the child
should be allowed to produce no rancous
tones, to indulge in no thick enunciation,
to utter no slovenly s)ur or sound; the
elders should soften their own voices
whom within the child's hearing, IL at no
other time, should open their own most
iute-like stop, and should speak with
slow gentleness and a precision not pre-
else enough for aiiectation; but quite
enough so for thorough distinctness and
accuracy, and for every sound to be given
its full value. servant of rude tones
should never be allowed about child,
nor any one else of dissgreeahlc habit of
voice. Even the niehtingaleS and canarles
are taught by another bird of perfect
throat; and IL the bird learns thus by ma
will do the same. A child once attuned
by the hearing and neighborhood OF sweet
voices to take an agreeable pitch, and
while the tone producing organs are still
flexible, can be corrected if in any devia
ton from purity and pleasantness, till the
deviation becomes all but impossible.
This certainly is not achieved by simple
effort; it is to be done only by unremit-
ting observation aud unceasing correction.
harsh tone should be modified upon the
spot, coarse cry abandoned, sharp one
softcned modulations should be taught,
giving the speaker samut on winch to
play and prevent mOn0tony, for we all
know how uncomfortable is either reading
or speaking in one dull unyaryinS dronc.
It is often desirable. especially in the
case of children who have had throat
troubles and recurring catarrhal colds. 70
have them taught enunciations by pro
fessional elocutionisi; that is, the pro
ducing and managing Of tone.
There is no young voice That cannot he

hands of one capable of giving both; this
Is emnently true during the first dozen
years of life; but it is true, also until close
upon the thirtieth year. In the matter OF
singing voices, baritones have made for
themselves tenor voices by slow deter
miuaton and practice; sopranos have
closed lower ard opened higher regis
ter; and II such miraculous work as that
has been done with the delicate and diff
flcult singing voice, surely all that can be
required Of the speaking voices is posi-
bic every day, and all that is required is
much less than anything Of this sort
Many of the great orators of antiquity
are known to have overcome serious de-
fects OF speech. either in delivery OF the
voice, as in Tully's case, or in art!cula-
ton, as in the case of Demosthene, and
that when they were no longer childien.
