THERE is a strong probability that
Pres. Chamberln of the Wisconsin Uni
versity will accept the offer made by the
Chicago University, and If he does Prof.
Salisbury. who Is now at the head of the
geological department, and Prof. Van
Hise will go with him. 1t is also claimed
that DR.. Haskins will accept the position
10 the Leland Stanford University of
California which has been open for him
sJme time. TIE University of Wisconsin
uu der the management of Pres. Chamber
lin has reached high degree of excel
lence, and if these contemplated changes
are made it will be sad set, back to high
er education in this state.
The high salary offered by the new Chi
cago institution is probably not the only
reason that causes Pres. Chamberlain to
think of leaving. but republican papers
should not attempt to make politi-
cal capital out of this proposed resig
nation. The charge that the state de-
partment is u-friendly towards the uni
versity can not be substantiated and to
make covert attack upon the state
superintendent is despicable to say tie
Last. No man In the state Is working
hlrder to elevate the educational inter

IN the mirds OF the reading public that
idea OF Dickens as a thoroughly human
and generous and lovable man which is
produced by his novels. 1t is true the
fashion of much that he wrote In those
magical novels OF the last generation has
passed a-av, and we cannot heartily de-
light ourselves over the whole thing as
we used TO do. But one thing we never
fail to gain clear sense of, that the man
who wrote them loved his kind, and be-

the holder does not necessarily imply a
fitness to take charge OF the trai ming of
children.
Under the present system of examina-
ton the county superintendent cannot
become sponsor for the success of every
person whom he authorizes to teach. He
Fan to be sure satisfy himself that accord
ing to certain adopted standards GER
tain number of candidates are entitled
to certificates authorizing them to teach.
He can certify as to the knowledge pos
Sc ssed by the applicants but he Is ignor-
ant OF that which, moro than knowledge,
determines the success or failure-skill,
and knowledge and skill must be com.
blned TO ensure success.
+ 1t is evident that the examination must
be conducted in such a way that the
places made vacant by the annual with
drawal of teachers can be supplied from
the number of candidates that present
/ themselves for examination. City schools,
by virtue of the fact that they furnish
( more teachers than they need have their
vacancies filled with teachers who have
I enjoyed some years experience in rural
/ districts, so that upon the latter falls the
( burden of receiving the inexperienced
/ teachers each year.
This constant change in teachers pre-
vents progress, or at least makes it ey-
/ tremely difficult 10 save the effort put
| forth to elevate the condition of rural
/ schools, and there is no one thing that
will remedy matters entirely, but much
waste may be prevented if those in charge
| OF the educational interests in the county,
namely the teacher, the school officers
and the superintendent, would unite to-
wards securing greater permlnence IN
! teaching. 1t SENS to me that our only
| hope to make county schools better lies
In the hope of retaining any one corps of
! teachers a number of years. The bene-
: fits resulting from such course can be
enumerated as follows: The efficiency
of the entire body of teachers would be
| increased and hence the product of the
schools as a whole would be of a higher
quality; the large army of boys and girls
| that are clamoring for admission into the
ranks of teaching would be held in check
a longer time; the superintendent by
raising his standard of admission could
ensure higher initial power for doing
good work on the part of those who enter
the business. But desirable as this de-
parture would be it cannot be carried out
unless disposition is shown by school
boards to recognize fitness to teach by
paying salaries that will induce teachers
| to remain in the calling.

on bringing Blaines name before the

former there is reason for believing, as

Yankee Dialect.

1t is often amusing to see the bewilder-
ment with which city bred New Eng
lander listens to the dialect of his native
soil, a dialect which is as characteristic,
strongly marked and persistent as that OF
any part of the country. That anybody
who claims to be native of Yankeeland
should fail to understand dialect which
has become historic in its rugged simple
ity and homely oppressiveness, seems al
most uncomfortable: yet there are thou
sands of city bred persons, descendants of
the old native stock, in all the large COM
munities of New England, who would
hardly be more puzzled by sentence out
of the Koran than by some of the dialect
expressions which are current in the rural
sections of their own states.
Right here in Massachusetts, within
fifty miles of the gilded statehouse dome,
are communities whose everyday lam
guage, larded as it is with Gankeeisms

gist.-Journal of Education.

THE LAND OF DREAMS.


The twilight deepens, the shadows creep.
The moonlight quivers in silver beams,
And silent we step in the boat of sleep,
And drift to the shadowy land of dreams.
Oh, mystic land where the dead return,
And warm lips cling in the deathless kiss:
And the years are not, and the weary learn
That anguish dies in the arms of bliss.
Affair in that holy, unknown land,
Ambition gathers the flowers of fame;
And fortune reaches her golden wand,
And pure and white is the soul of shame.
The shackles fall from the prisoner there.
The peasant sits on the throne king;
The blind eyes open TO all that's fair,
And deaf ears hear, and the dumb lips sing.
Dreams, Who can tell what messengers
stray
Around us all in the hush of night;
When the form lies still as the souliess clay,
And we follow ourselves through love and
light
And who shall say but the land of dreams
Is the land of the living. after all;
And daily life, with its scars and seams.
Is only a dream when the shadows fall.

PuritanicaI Treatment of Boys.

In Miss Earle's book, 1.-The Sabbath in
Puritan New England a story is told of
Dr. Dakin hearing a noise while he was
praying in a church at Quincy. The min
lister opened his eyes to discover the cause,
aud saw "a rcdhaired boy clutching the
railing on the front edge of the gallery,
while n venerable deacon clutched the boy.
At last the balustrade gave way and boy
and deacon fell with crash. The deacon
then led the boy ont of the meeting house,
and swishing sounds, accompanied by
walls, were soon heard from the region of
the horse shed
