In this work of commercial geography the
children are held TO a rigid study of text
book maps, learning 10 locate countries,
rivers. cities, lines OF travel, etc, and be-
coming thoroughly familiar with the reia-
tive positions of places studied. In comec-
ton with the maps in the text books, chill
dran are taught the use OF the contour maps
so generously furnished by the national
geographical survey through the courtesy OF
Mr.. Henry Garnett, and in some cases are
able TO build from them raised maps on the
sandboard.
The course ofstudy arranged for and placed
in the hands OF the teacher shows the Work
of the eight grades to be a unit.
1t has been the superintendent wise pol
icy to arrange course SO broad that II may
be rigidly followed, or amplified, accord
ing Ia the knowledge, apparatus and In
terest of the teacher. Whenever 1t is pos
sible physiugraphy is taught IN the fleld,
while in one building much interest has been
gained by the use of a sereopticon pur-
chasedand equipped by thepupils themselves
by the use of which 90 slides upon phySiog-
raphy, twenty on natural history, thirty

Fo'iowiEg these lessons, and the placing
in the buildings OF the relief maps, came
a box of ell selected rocks and minerals
for the children to examine and handle.
These afford fairly representative scenes
OF deposition products, shales, Sandstones,

this little case has formed, not the chief
material for study, but merely a nucleus
about which the children have gathered

region affords.
The sandboard plays an important part
in photographic action, its constant use
helping the child To understand what lie
reads. to recollect what he has seen, and
to translate his field notes.
Parallel with this second part OF the
geographic work, there has been literary
course. The children have read much or

commercial centers, means of commnnica-

Franklin Smith has closed his work in

transfer an item from the local paper
which speaks very pleasantly of the reti-
ring pastor and his wife:
Rev. W. Franklin Smith and wife departed
Monday, Mrs. Smith going to Fort Scott, and he
to Colorado for his health. Mr.. Smith is man
of superior attachments. and his sermons were
always true to nature, rich in thought and in
production and arrangement, and the members
of the Universalst church and others who knew
him will miss him greatly. Mrs. Smith is a lady
of more than ordinary culture and literary at
tainments. which rendered her a pleasing men,
Der of society and the literary and social circles
of the city. The citizens of our city were 10th
to part with this most excellent family. On
Monday evening the members of the Universal
ist church and many other friends of Mr.. Smith
and wife called at their residence to exchange
sentiments and expressions of mutual esteem
and to bid them final good bye. The occasion,
though tinged with sadness. was rather enj0ya-
BILE and made doubly so by the charming manner
In which they were received and entertained by
this estimable couple.

REV. H. N. COUDEN.
Tuesday evening, May 81, Mr.. Couden,
lectured in the Church of Our Father in
Detroit on "What saw at the Battle of
Shiloh" The lecture was fine presen-
tation Of the story of that critical battle.
1t mingled the facts of the conflict with
the pathetic incidents of the fight and
the amusing episodes of the camp. This
was not the battle in which Mr.. Couden
lost his eyes. and SO we have blind
man telling what he saw in those far off
days before he was made blind. The
combination is peculiarly affecting. In
connection with the lecture a quartet
of old soldiers sang several camp songs,
and bugler who was relic of three
wars opened and closed the evening
with the bugle calls. 1t is to be hoped
that Mr.. Couden may come again and
give his lecture here. and we would re-
commend the lecture to our other par
ishes.
LANSING.
The preparation for the new church is
going on here rapidly. Plans are under
consideration, and as soon as they shall
be decided on the work of the new
church will be entered upon.

Rev. E. G. Andrus, of Tecumseh, has

every way prosperous.
