The Importance OF proper promo
tons is manifest. No phase Of
school management is more LASTING
in its effects. The child may be SO
bewildered, mentally by too rapid
advancement that he will be as ut
terly lost as is the tempest lost mari
ner with neither compass nor star
to guide. What teacher has not
come in contact with a whole class
Of victims Of hasty promotions ?
They grope through the course like
one utterly lost, if, indeed, they
finally reach the goal. And all the
way up their mental structure shows
the effect Of fault somewhere in
its construction. We may not al
ways be able to locate the error. but
that matters little. The results are
left indelirly impressed, the pupil
does not fully recover from the evil,
and is too often wholly unconscious
Of any such weakness.

Say, Friend Wakeman, do you re-
member when, ragged and barefoot
ed, we studied and played together
in the sod covered log school house
on the Sioux, in go? Our studying
caused US to grow upa republican
and to remain such; yours caused
you to grow up a democrat, to
change to an independent. Your
own change suggests that you were
wrong the first time, then why not
now?-one error leads to another.
Now honestly, Frank, we think as
much Of you, we hope, MS you do Of
US, but you ask us why we are not
farming. We return the compli-
ment by asking, Why are you farm
ing, j: farmers are, Of all classes,

We can farm yet and do MS well as

We believe that il would be better
for the counsies to elect the county

county superintendent elect to the
state superintendent than for those
two offices to he elected by parties
as they now nre. This would take
the political phase out ofeounty and

EfGi. II. IL. rOliailSbee possesses
the faculty Of holding an audience
u long time and of interesting with
out any apparent effort on his part.
His style of address is unusually
easy. lie moves his audience to
laughter or tears and drives home a
truth in a manner so devoid OF af-
fiction as to cause his hearers to be
almost unconscious Of the speaker.
The talk was a partial summing up
Of results Of constant school vista
ton and was therefore of peculiar
value to parents as well as 10 teach
ers. His soaring Of the teacher who
does not appreciate and who i'm
AGNES herself Or himself to be above
the need of the help Of associations
was to the point. He showed the
various temperamcnts ofteachers by
typical illustrations drawn from re-
cent observation. We will not soon
forget his vital pictures Of the dis
orderly temperament, the nervous
scolding one, the one quiet but
strong, and the slow II with the
power to make others work. How
limited is the experience Of the
the teacher who has seldom seen
other work than her own, anl
what a lesson these oppositions Of
temperament should be to us. His
argument,that the teacher cannot be
too well educated, provided he can
adapt himself to the powers Of his
pupils is indisputable. Good health,
geud education, good manners, good
voice, and good looks yer the
qualifications given as most essen-
tial. lie held that the first can be
acquired by observance of the rules
of health, and the meaning OF good
looking received a needed explana-
ton. The picture Of the fifteen
year-old teacher and Lis pupil was
drawn from life md was very effect
i've. The equality that should OBJ
tain in our public schools was well
presented, and the denunciation Of
the aesthetic young lady who is
prepared for the duties OF life-lying
in ~hammocks, reading trash, ETC.
by attending the aesthetic school
was well deserved. The true pass.
port into society, he said, should be
true education and worth.-not
show and dress. The Importance
Of good reading habits was vel
brought out. and the closing re
marks concerning tho teachor'
growth should be All inspiration /,
any one OF us who las been careless
in this matter.

tiff,and L. Greeny, defendant, and
which casc was argued in chambers
at Yankton on the sixth Of this
month. has been decided in favor Of
the plaintiff. The case involved the

land on the Missouri river, aud the
decision involves a very important
question relating to the state bounda-
ries. Mr.. Adams land has extend
ed to the river but vas washed away

the line changes with The gradual

the river cuts off land by an entire
