DEATH OF MRS NJ. E. GREGORY.

Her infant daughter, Flor ence Merwin. five weeks old, died on the 10th, the day proceeding the death of her mother. Mother and child lay en- cased in the same casket, the mother ev- en in death holding the infant gently in her arms, the sorrOwing sight causing many eyes to fill with tears, as they looked for the last time upon mother and babe so sWeetly sleeping the sleep of death.

REV DIR GUILBERT's LECTURE.

The lecture which Rev pr Guilbert is to give on ''Oberammergau and the Pas sion play" at Washington hall on Thurs day next, February ?, promises to be one of the finest illustrated lectures ever giv- en here. pr Guilbert spent several weeks at "Oberammergau" during the Passion play of 1890. The stereoptcon used will be of the best and the views, between 80 and 90 in number, will equal those shown by MT Stoddard in his famous lecture. The admission will be 35 cents for re- served seats, 9 cents general. Tickets can be procured at the postotflce. The hall should be crowded. The proceeds will be used for such charitable work as the Daughters of the King may deem best.

A WORD AS TO THE SCHOOLS.

For about dozen years I have been con- nected with the school board of our town, us- uaIly an acting member, and have had more or less to do with the direct management. l have carried family ot children through, or nearly through their primary school lite and venture to send you a few thaughts regarding our common school system in the country our engaging out ot-town teachers, from my own personal knowledge and from tn e state reports, am convinced that our own are full ly up to the average ot country schools in the state. The standard of education has not changed in any way that can see in the last 40 years. The text hooks are better, the drill is worse. A child Ot ordinary ability acquires only the barest rudiments of elementary edu- cation in the average school life of six years, (from to l2 and Is years) with only school advantages. Anything more will be- found to be due to extraordinary natural ability or pri- vate home tuition, usually both. Even that elementary education is wofully defective. Spelling, so well known two generations ago, has become almost lost art and the letters children write, bring us up like a stumb- ling horse on a stony road. Penmanship is crude, illegible and the hand, nntralned and uniformed. Mental arithmetic has gone into disuSe and the oral examples in the text book are usually either worked out on the slate or ignored. In written arithmetic there is a general improvement. Grammar is sadly neglected. With 8 single exception, none Of the scholars in our schools can give you rule or reason tor the most common usages of their mother tongue and Mark Twain could easily fill volume with quaint and original selections from English as she is writ from the litter on the school house floor. History
 
 learned, thanks to the system of outline maps, and physiology in spite of the state law is practically ignored, as perhaps it ought to be. General results. With force school sys tenn, costing our country towns from One- fourth to one e-third the general town tax, about one sixth of those who present them selves to be made voters would, by a strict construction of the statute, be rejected. That is they are really unable to read understand ingly any section of the constitution stat ute. As they blunder over and name most oi the easy words, are neighbors,or both parties n han in a anrfi are admitted. Of the other fve-sixths, it is safe to say, that three -fourths have either had the later advantages of high school, which has rounded out the defective work of early elementary education, or by the training of business or home study have brought them selves up to the normal standard of primary education. Now city school carries child as far at nine years as the country schools do at F and 16. Are our children deficient in brain, health or natural ability? By no means. The canses are purely those of train ing and surroundings and there should be no reason why the city children and the common schools of the great Northwest should have so far outstripped those of our own common wealth.-[F.
