The following hints on teaching ge-
ography may be suggested to many
teachers:
Rely ON maps and outlines, not on the
textbook.
Assign the lesson by topics, never by
pages.
4 Encourage pupils to ask questions and
furnish examples within their own ex-
perience of the subject under considera-
ton
Let each pupil give in his own Ian
guage all the information he has Sc
cured on the subject.
AT the close of a recitation have the
pupils tell what has been brought out
during the lesson.
Emphasize all new facts and connect
them with the subject of the lesson.
Insist that each pupil keep a note
book.
Talk as little during a lesson as posi-
BILE; let the subject be unfolded and de-
veloped by the pupils.
Have plenty of reference books, use
them freely, and encourage your pupils
to consult them.
Hold this always before your mind
you are to teach your pupils to study a
country in the light of its advantages as
an abode for man.
Begin every lesson with review of
the preceding lesson. Frequently have
THIS review written exercise.-Ex.

The impression seems to prevail that
our schools cost vastly more than for

BECAUSE 1T IS RIGHT.

These things are worth your serious
thought, you men who are trying. hon
estty TO bring your cOnsciences apd'your
Judgment to an agreement as to what
Is your political duty.
The old abolition element in the coun-
try, the LovEJoYs, the GARRIsoNs, the
men who would rather be right than
president. are becoming Democrats.
The young men of the country, the
first voters, who do their thinking. the
HoARs and QUINcYs, are bringing
their fervor and young energies into
the Democratic party.
The papers Of the country which
really form public opinion because of
Their ability and honesty are now Dem
ocratic. The papers everywhere that
command attention are Democratic.
What does it mean? 1t Is significant:
1t is pregnant with meaning for you.
Why is Ii? Ii is because the Democratic
party is right; because it appeals to the
sense Of right in men; because underlv-
lug its policy is the moral right of every
man, having produced aught by his
labor. to freely exchange it where he
viii and for what he Will. without let or
hlndrance from his government: be-
cause it would make free the men who
are now denied to make free exchange
OF their products: because it is fighting
again the battle OF greater liberty for
man; because it would deny to men ac-
cess to and control of the powers of the
government to advantage themselves;
because it is the party of industrial free
dom, as the Republican party has de-
generated into d party of Industrial
slavery. Will you refuse its appeal?

WASHBURN'S BILL.

Opponents of the anti-option bill
charge that Senator WAsHBURN. some
time in the past, attempted to speculate
in wheat options on the Chicago board
of trade. and that be lost heavily in the
deal. They also charge that this &C
counts for the senator's activity in push
ing the bill which is intended to make
this species of gambling unlawful.
The senator denies both the charge
anu the motive. But suppose both
were true; wherein does that help the
matter for the opponents?
The fact that Senator WAsHBURN
gambled in wheat, if they assert the
truth, does not make that form of
gambling right. And even though it
were true that he would have continued
to wink one eye at the game had it not
gone against him, that cannot DESTROY
the force Of the facts and arguments
which he presents against the habit of
betting on the price of breadstutfs and
the possible influence this system of
Letting has upon the prices OF those
commodities.
The INSCRIPTIONS and bitter fight
which the dealers in options are making
against the senator tends to strengthen
the belief i'll the public mind that he is
on the right track. 1t is rapidly bring

DO ONE THING ATA TIME

If the opposition to Republicapism in
its latest development is made up of
sensible men, who bring to their politi-
cal action the common sense they apply
in their own affairs, they will take
counsel Of history and make their en-
ergies effectnal and not futile. This
opposition embraces men with all sorts
of pauaceas for the ills which affiict the
state. Some would nationalize the rail-
roads; some would coin silver freely:
some would have the printing presses
make more money; all would make trade
freer. Some of these persist in stand

particular fad be given the leading
place; that the greater parties come to

BETTER LOOK FOR THE CAUSE
The GLOBE is panied to have incurred
the severe criticism of some Of its con-

the attention of those whose peace has
been disturbed aud finer feelings
shocked by the labor troubles at Pitts
burg to the resolution adopted by some
labor union in Chicago. affirming that
1aror creates and therefore owns every

have made some papers,
Now comes the trade and labor coun-
Gil of Chicago with another declaration
OF economic belief, which is only little
less radical, If vastly more sensible,
than the one previously quoted, but one
which will be equally disturbing TO the
upholders OF the present industrial
system" This council of 800 repre-

''While pledging our steadfast loyalty to

All these riots and strikes and rash
declarations are of value because they
are symptomalic. They indicate con-
dition which demands attention. We
must not go on in this country as did
the French aristocracy-absorbed in
our amusements, indifferent to this
tumult Or regarding it as trifling, until
the Eruption comes. 1t is wiser to
treat them seriously as something seri-
Gus; to see if some removable cause eX.

legislation, positive or negative, will
aid in its removal, it will be wiser to
take that course than to content our
selves with dencuncing the men as So
