TRICKS EASILY LEARNED.
Fancy Riding Is Not So Difficult as 1t APP
pears to the Novice.

Fancy Riding Is Not So Difficult as 1t APP
pears to the Novice.
There are half a dozen tricks that
can be learned by any one familiar with
the wheel and which are so beautiful
and graceful in their execution that
they make rider a source of never fail
ing joy to his friends. Along the road
side you will see little groups of people,
riders and pedestrians, gathered in de-
lighted amaze while the trick" cyclist
goes through with his antics. For the
person who wants to learn trick riding
the cardinal principle is to get acquaint-
ed with his wheel. He should be able
to mount and dismouut with as much
surety as he would step off and on
chair. A slip or a fall should be i'm
possible. He should be able to stop the
wheel at any turn of the pedals and
dismount, and he should feel while
riding that nothing short Of stroke of
apoplexy could make him lose his bal
ance.
To obtain this perfection there is moth
ing necessary but practice. Step upon
the wheel every night and every morn
ing for a little ride. Soon you get on
the wheel mechanically, as you rise to
walk, without thinking of it. You are
now wheeling expert. Next comes the
trick riding.
The easiest trick is the one you should
take up at the beginning. 1t is riding
your wheel backward. Three attempts
will be enough to teach you how to do
it. Have an assistant at hand to catch
you if you fall off ON the first mount.
Stand with your back to the front
wheel. Put both hands behind you and
grasp the handle bar. Step upon the
near pedal. Throw your leg over the
bar and catch the off pedal. Ride
As you work the pedal you will ird
the machine moving swiftly backward,
A glance over your shoulders guides
you. Have a smooth path back of you.
The art of balance will serve you well,
for you will not fall if once you get
mounted. You will find the only differ
euce, so far as you are concerned, is
that you are sitting with your face to
the rear of the wheel and are ''hind side
fore" upon the bars between the saddle
and handle bar. But the action is pre-
cisely similar to straight ahead riding.
The handle bar will work just as well
with your hands behind you.-St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.

TEACHING AS A PROFESSION.

President Schuman, in the pages of
the Forum, says that the next develop
ment in the universities will be grad
uate school of pedagogy, which will be
open only to college graduates or per-
sons of similar standing, which will
uplift, ennoble and liberalize the teach
ing professionals schools of law, medi-
cine and technology have already dig
nified the callings of the lawyer, the
doctor and the engineer.
of opinion upon this important matter
To be thorough teacher, one that
works on broad, not narrow, lines,
man or woman needs a university train
ing. The normal school does not give
what the school of pedagogy at a great
university can give. The normal school
is far too narrow in it's scope. 1t does
not work on broad university lines.
The school of pedagogy must require
of its pupils some hard and general
previous training, and must be, in fact,
a postgraduate school.
The time will come when it will be
as impossible for a teacher to practice
his profession without having passed
through a university as it would be
for doctor to practice medicine with
out a proper training. The time is far
off, but it most assuredlys will come.
Much has been done to advance the
profession of teaching; the teachers
of the present. day understand their
profession far better than those of the
past. but it is very few of them who
thoroughly understand it in all it's
broad bearings. A mere smattering of
psychology does not make a teacher.
The science of pedagogy is much fur
Their reaching. True, it rests on psych-
ology, but as a recent writer says, it

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.

The United States have further pro-
tected themselves from the tide of for
eign immigration. Criminals, diseased
or pauper immigrants have been shut
out for some time, but now there is to
be an educational test. BY the new bill
all male persons between sixteen and
sixty who can not both read and write
the English language or some other
language are to be excluded.
OF course all depends upon the en-
forcement of the law, and it will be
hard to enforce, for at the main ports
of entry perfect army of linguists will
have to be on hand. The immigrants
into the United States are polylingual
set of people. Set aside such widely
known languages as French, Spanish,
Italian or German, there is Malay, Hin
du, Pushtu, Icelandic, Finn, and good
ness knows how many more. A column
might easily be filled with them. Is the
customs department of the United
States going to keep professor of each
of these on tap, as it were, at the prin-
cipal custom houses? Or will one set be
kept rotating, or rather oscillating, be-
tween San Francisco and New York
The professors would have rather a
hard time of it..
The chances are good that there will
not, in everyday practice, be strict
observance of the law The best feat
ure about the measure is that it is one
more step forward in the movement to
regulate immigration into the United
States.

NORTH POLE EXCURSION DIRECT.


The expedition to the North Pole via
balloon is not regarded by some sci
entists and experienced balloon men
as very likely to attain success. At the
same time, if we go back to the time
of Columbus, an expedition across the
Atlantic was not regarded as likely to
be success. But the diversity of opin-
ions upon the subject shows how little
we know of the upper air.
We know something of the prevail
ing winds close to the surface of the
earth or of the ocean, and by observa-
ton have some knowledge of the upper
currents, but our knowledge is crude
and undigested. AS to the currents
about the pole from latitude 20 deg.
north, stretch of about 1850 miles,
we know absolutely nothing. The ex-
petition of Andree and his companions
is, therefore, looked upon by a large
number of people as little better than
wilful suicide.
Still, much has been done in the way
of practical ballooning of late years.
Fifty ascents in free balloons and
twenty-five in captive balloons have
been made in Berlin lately and careful
and accurate scientific observations
have been made. Of course these OBJ
seryations lie in the direction of the

A COMING EDUCATOR.

Professor Alexander, through the me-
dunn of educational friends at the coast,
has secured for the Summer School
Professor F. B. Desslar, Phi D-,.of the
State Normal School at Los Angeles.
Professor Dessler is one of the three or
four strongest pedagogical men in the
State of California, and his reputation
is national He studied under Stanley
Hall at Clark University and received
high praise for his work there. For the
past two years he has been at the head
of the department of pedagogy in the
Los Angeles school. There he has dealt
with everyday questions of practical
school work, and has had very success
full experience in directing the studies
of teachers in the schools. especially in
connection with the County Teachers
Institutes
DR.. DessIer is thirty-seven years old.
In earlier years he had experience in
The Hawaiian gazette., 1896-06-26

teaching in district schools in Indiana
and had also experience as high school
principal and superintendent of schools
in that State One of his most import
ant contributions to science, Studies
in the Psychology of Touch" may be
found in the American Journal of
Psychology, Vol. vi, No, 8. The Profess
sor is also a collaboration on the new
German pedagogical magazine, Die
Kinderfehler 1t must be further ad-
ded that the Professor is an able and
fluent speaker.
To obtain the services of such a man
is decidedly for the advantage of the
Hawaiian public, and Professor Alexan-
der is to be congratulated upon the sue
cess that has crowned his efforts to get
a good pedagogical man to lecture to
the teachers here.
The presence of such man will be
inspiring and will help to bring our.
educational system in touch with that
of California. And that is what we de-
cidedly need. The whole fabric of the
American body polite is based on it's
free schools, and if we are to join that
body polite we must get our teachers
and schools in line with theirs.

of this again is Mackenzie, taking in
the mainland country between the
northern limit of Athabaska and the

500 miles west and parallel with the
Mackenzie river. Yukon includes the
