Advantages Of the School Journal
TO the Teacher.

To be good teacher is to be q
well developed man or woman.
In short, the term teacher ought
to mean the highest type of man
kind. Whatever will give or aid
that development concerns the
teacher. The important question
with the teacher is, Am [ quail
fed" The training in the branch
es, together with fair knowledge
of mental and moral philosophy
should precede the actual school
room work. When the young
teacher enters the work he bears
about the same relation to the
skilled teacher OF long experience,
Is the young convert to father or
mother In Israel. His life aud
work must be perfected by years
of faithful study and energetic
work. When anything new or
valuable is discovered by the
teacher he is anxious to tell it to
others, hence Teachers Institutes
have long been sources of great
good and much enjoyment. The
spirit Of improvement and inves-
tigation has gone farther and is
now felt in the School journal.
We are not willing to wait and
ask advice from Col. Parker, Ed
win Hewitt, J Baldwin and 9TH
ers, but learn of them and their
methods through the School
Journal. The material for text
books on teaching, psychology,
etc. has been collected by the
faithful teacher in his daily round
of duty. 1t has been used by him
in the class room, then published
in articles in School Journals,
then in a definite form in text
books. Ii one is a reader of Ed
ucational Journals he can autici-
pate text books. The School
Journal not only gives advanced
ideas and methods bat the appli-
cation of principles to school room
work. In reports which are sent
in from all parts of the country to
the School journal, the teacher
can find food for thought and hints
for practice. No teacher can be
progressive and fail to read edu-
cational papers. When he settles
down into quiet repose, as it
were, he ceases to read, but rs
long as he means to be live, en-
orgetic teacher he is seeking for
more light. He becomes selfish
and narrow when he ceases to
read the current literature of the
times. What we have said applies
to the investigation and application
of principles in teaching, but there
Is another and important field for
the School Journal and that is,

"you can have no dinner until
your basket il filed
You may think you enjoy the
lunch OF the average picnic where
every one sits around waiting for
noon to come, but when you want
a good appetite just spend about
three hours hunting for nuts. then
fried chicken, pickles and "ole
mammy's" good coffee will rival
dinner of ten courses.
Every day the pecan tree is be-
ing considered more valuable.
During the drouth in West Texas
a few years ago, many were saved
from starvation by the wonderful
crop of nuts. I knew OF one gen.
tleman that sold six bushels from
one tree at two dollars bushel.
Young trees do not average more
than bushel. The trees make
splendid shade and are now being
utilized for two-fold purpose.
An immense grove has been
planted on Brownwood of the
large, thin shelled variety.
On our return we gathered
magnificent branches of golden
rod, and a beautiful variety of
thistle that | have never seen in
the North.
Rain had been scarce all sum-
mer and fall, but one rolling farm
Of 1900 acres showed the result of
irrigation. The fine vegetable
gardens told US we would not al
ways have TO depend on Califor-
MIA and the Northern states for the
necessaries of life. These beauti-
full gardens received their water
supply from one of our fourteen
wonderful Artesian wells and of
which the Waco people have great
reason to be proud.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspc ndent.

WASHINGTON, ID. G. Nov. %.
The National Republican COM
mittee held a very harmonious
meeting here to-day; elected Gen.
Clarkson to succeed Senator Quay,
as Cairman, and selected the
place and date for the meeting of
the National convention next year.
For two days past the corridors of
the hotel in which the committee
held its meeting have reminded
one of national convention times,
owing to the presence of SO many
Republicans of national promi-
nence. The members of the COM
mittee have an abiding faith in
the success of the party next year,
and for that very reason they de-
termined to make no mistake
which should be serious enough to
jeopardize that success. The Sc
lection of Gen. Clarkson for chair
man and the date set for the con-
yention meets with unanimous
approval, but as was to be expect
ed after the sharp rivalry, the Sc
lection of the place for the con-
ventiol to meet has caused some
disappointment. But no more
than was inevitable. Only one
place could get the honor, and
those who are disappointed be-
cause it was not their city lave the
consolation of knowing that a
good and honorable fight was
made by them all.
The President will enjoy the
pleasure of family reunion at
White House on Thanksgiving
day, which will be attended by his
children and grand-chi ldren. The
Vice President will also have q
family gathering at his residence
here at the same time, but his
family does not include any
grandchildren.
There are to be several sub.
committee meetings and ccnsulta-
tions with government officials
here this week IN behalf of the
Worlds Fair. Ex-senator Palm
er, the president of the National
Board, and Mr.. I. W Baker,
presidedent of the Chicago local
board, are here to take part in
these meetings. One of the sub
jects to be discussed is the awards
to be made by the exposition.

Senator Hill over here to put IN

A Pecan Picnic.
Especial Correspondence to the Graphic.J

Special Correspondence to the Graphic.)
WACO, TENS, Nov. 17.-To tell
the Texas youth of hazel nutting
is to get his attention at once.
The Missouri boy or giil, l am
sure, will be as much Interested
in pecan picnic.
On one Of our beautiful Octo-
ber mornings quite crowd of us
in buggies and wagons started to
friends ranch to gather pecans,
winter bouquets aud to enjoy
climbing up and down the rocky
banks of the Bosque, than which
there are few prettier streams; as,
clear and blue, ii itrefects the ce-
dars and mustang grapes growing
above, while on the greveled bed
darting fish offer sport.
Several cotton fields were pass
ed, among which scores of negroes
were singing happily, each trying
his best to pick 800 lbs. by sun
down. The average price paid
this yesr has been about 60 cts.
per 100 lbs, the pickers boarding
themselves. They generally car
ry as rations, corn meal, bacon
and molgsses.
Having reached the ranch we
drove through several gates before
we reached the grove. Hundreds
of sheep and goats scampered in
every direction. These valuable
animals, for they were fine stock :,
were sheltered from the burning
sun by grand old liye oak trees
that would hsye proved very valu-
able had they been on city lots.
The pecan tree is tantalizing in
its height and it seemed almost
impossible to reach the first
branches. Numerous sticks be-
ing thrown up resulted in a show
er of fine nuts. But this proved q
slsw and dangerous process, as
the STICKS seemed invariably TO
fall on some one.
Finally two darkey boys sue
ceeded IN climbing the trees, and
using long poles they proceeded
to thrash the limbs in every di-
rection. Then the fun began.
Everybody had sack or bucket.
One scientifically inclined young
lady tried to locate the falling
nuts by watching the points from
where they fell; she didn't get
many, but was vanquished by the
children and negroes who would
almost kiss Mother Earth to grab
all at once. 1t is very exciting to
hear hundreds of nuts dropping
IN the grass and briers; to feel
your lack of agility and worse
than all to hear the mandate,

working up enthusiasm in tho
ranks. One cannot but observe
the effect Of n lively session OF nm
institute, or Of n successful school
taught. The teachers work, nc
cording to Hewitt, is with mind,
matter, and method, and the spirit
or enthusiasm of the teacher,
through good methods, is the.key
which unlocks the store house of
knowledge The School Journal
is monitor to the negligent and
careless. 1t continually reminds
him of important details which he
knows he has neglected. 1t points
out the most common errors Of
teachers and asks us to refrain.
We look upon it, in sense, as q
standard by which we may meas
ure ourselves and our work. Ii
the best Journals are selected and
read the teacher acquaints him
self with the best and most pro-
gressive methods of the times.
If it were possible for the teacher
to meet frequently in institutes
with the best teachers this infor-
nation relative to school work
could be gained without the aid of
periodicals. There is nothing in
our civilization that can take the
place of the newspaper. This is
the medium through which the
masses are reached. All are not
able to attend associations, con-
ventlons, and training schools but
all can read educational papers.
If our acquisitions were confined
to our own experience they would
be very limited, hence we draw
lessons from the experience of
generations which have preceded
us. In this age of improvement,
the teacher must be in the front
ranks. The means Of disseminat.
ing information by the telegraph,
by rapid transit, by periodicals, IS
quite different to hundred years
ago. We live more now IN one
year than in five OF those in olden
times. These increased and in
creaying facilities demand of US
increased activity i'll the fields of
learning. The School Journal is
the popular educator among teach
ers. The progressive teacher is
anxious to obtain that which bears
upon his work, hence he seeks the
opportunity of cleaning from ed
ucational papers the observations
and experiments of his fellow
teachers. This habit of wide re-
search gives broad and liberal
culture. The very desire to OBJ.
tain this knowledge and the effort
put forth gives the teacher in
creased power ard ability. But
it must not be concluded that the
reading of good books and papers
alons will make good teachers.
Spencer says, "The success OF eY-
cry appliance depends mainly up
on the intelligence with which it
is used. Having the choicest OF
tools, an unskilled artisan will
botch his work; and bad teachers
will fail even with the best
methods. Indeed, the goodness
of the method becomes in such
case cause of failure
Then let US read and appro-
pirate, remembering that the best
results are obtained by reading
and studying the best books anC
periodicals and faithfully attend.

Hatch claims that he Is still
in the race for the Speakership;
but, if the Congressman from the
Southern States will carefully ex-
anime into his war record, he
won't get single vote from that
section.
The Secretary estimates the
increased value of the crops, over
the value of last J ear at S70O,OO0,-
| l0oo. This represents a goodly
sum, and will scatter relief and
comforts and blessings and inde-
pendence and courage IN en5le IS

possessors into whose hands it
goes. 1t is not merely so much
money; it is not as il SO much
money had been withdrawn from
one class, or from one quarter of
the world to endow this quarter of
the world; there is no derange-
ment, no compepsating loss
to balance this enrichment.
1t is substantially all clear profit,
as it is derived from nearly the
same acreage, and the same tlllage
and the same ownership repre-
sented in agriculture last year,
with whose produce this inorease
OF value is compared.
AS the time for Congress tc
assemble approaches, MIR. Hatch's
chance for the Speakership grows
less. He has long represented
himself at Washington as being
one of the most popular Demo.
Gratis in Missouri, and has resorted
to every species of demagogism
known to the political trickster tc

some preliminary licks in favor OF
the election of it's candidate Crisp
to the Speakership. OF course
Hill did not dare disobey the or
ders of Tsmmany, but it was easy |
to see that he was out OF his ele-
ment in Washington, and he got
away as soon as possible, and it is
understood that he will do the rest
of his work for the Tiger candi-
date in New York City, where,
surrounded by his 'heelers,' he
feels more at home than he does
in Washington.
Secretary Proctor's annual re-
port is q model of it's kind, and
shows that he leaves the War de-
partment in much better shape
than he found it.
The system Of drying paper
money by steam has, by order of
the Secretary of the Treasury,
been discontinued at the Bureau
of Engravings and Printing, and
in future all money printed at the
bureau will be dried by the hatur-
al process before it is delivered to
the Treasury to be circulated. 1t
was thought that the steam drying
was responsible for the blurred
appearance which many of the
notes show after little handling,
and that it weakened the fiber of
paper to a marked extent, thus
shortening the time the note would
last.
The annual meeting of the
twelve division inspectors of the
Postoffice department is now 60
ing on here. This system Of
bringing the inspectors from all
over the country into contact with
each other, for mutual informa-
ton, once a year, originated with
chief Inspector Rethbone, who is
now fourth Assistant Postmaster
General, and it is considered by
the department officials very help
full to the service. The Chief In
spector Of the Canadian Postal
service was SO well pleased with
his visit to the meeting last year
that be is coming again this week.
! The me etiugs, owing to the nature
of much of the business discussed,
are necessarily secret.
1t has been decided by the Ex-
ecutiYe committee to secure an
additional $4,000 for the enter
talnment OF the q. A. r. encamp-
ment here next year, and the work
of obtaining subscriptions is now
being pushed with diligence. This,
added to the guarantee fund of
$4,000 already subscribed, will
make a total of 100000 to be
spent on the encampment.

corder of the General Land office,

Townsend.
The President received the del
egations from nearly every one of
the cities that wanted the nomina-
, ting convention, but to his credit
be it said, he maintained a strict
neutrality and no man can truth
fully says that he expressed any
preference in the matter, although
it is fair to presume that he, like
everybody else, had a choice.

1t is one OF the noticeable
features of the present age that q
good many things which all pre-
ceding ages have regarded as set
tied, have not only come to be re-
garded with doubt and argument.
but have been deliberately settled
or unsettled on wholly different
basis. In theology, dogmas which
hsye become most hosry and ven-
cradle with age are attacked with
out conjunction and repudiated
without remorse. In politics, prin-
ciples supposed to be rock-rooted
and eternal are found to be base
less and untensbie. and are calmly
swept away, while their places are
filled with new ones.
