Among the methods of instruction
scarcely yet known in our country, hut
long established in Germany, is the
school excursion. Indeed, while to the
uninitiatcd this measure may be regard
cd as no less than revolutionary, it is
nevertheless .rue that excursions froib
two to threewecks III duration were un
dUrtal:cn by Salzmann with the pupils
OF his school at Schnopfonthal. imThur-
inGia, when Washington was president
of tho United States. Since the close CT
tho last century the school excursion, in
one form on another, has been growing
IN popularity in Germany, and today
it forms "a regular feature Of perhaps the
majority Of tho elementary schools of
that country.
The school excursion offers the mos
favorable opportunity for introducing
the child into many branches of knowl-
edge, tor the reason that. by means of
outings, the pupil may be brought in
direct contact with various phases of
Lature ana the works of man. And in
decd the locality is exceptionally unfa-
vGrable where an abundance of material
may.not be found for instructing the
child in geography, history aad the

Carrie johnson ,adaughter of the repre-.

An action has been brought to test
the validity of the gopher destruction

T am told by those who profess to

already begun to make sundry surrep-
titious and. sub-rosa trips Iamong the

prairie chickens who have hardly more

falling victim to the unerring aims and
unexampleo bravery of these hunters.
There is something sublimely admirable
in the reckless courage of the man, who.
armed with nothing more than a lO-bore
shotgun, will press boldly into the heart
of the jungle, and encounter a six weeks
old prairie chicken on it's native heath.
1t is a kind of Spartan courage which
convinces me that the self-sacrificial
spirit Of ancient and mediasval times has
not altogether died out. IT it is a fact
that the pursuit Of the wiIdfowl has al
ready begun, then the pursuit Of the
hunters should be inaugurated by some
good, healthy, game warden. Afew pur,
