The Sentence Method and Supplement-
ary Reading.
(Read before the county teachers meeting at
Hurley, April IL, 1885,
A great deal is heard nowadays
about educational methods In pri-
mary work, enthusiasts are continual
ly bringing before teachers the merits
of this method, and the poor results
which prove the weakness of those
other methods. Although the term
method" grows distasteful, perhaps,
from the frequency with which teach
ers' ears are compelled TO hear it, is il
not, after all, a thing for which TO be
thanllful-that educational work is be.
ing done more and more by method"
which is to say in a more and more
orderly way? That one teaches in ac-
cordance with some ''method" does not
imply that the individual teaching ma
ture is not exercised. On the other
hand, the use of a method is to the
born teacher what the use Of his tools
is to carpenter, help in giving forth
the genius of the person. Primary
teachers are helped to give the power
of reading, in an orderly way, to the
child, by employing one of the three
prominent nethods-the word, phonic
or sentence method. OF the three it
is not unfair to say that the sentence
method seems destined to win the race
for popularity and success. However,
it will, no doubt always use as it's aids
the best things which the phonic and
word methods offer. If success does
attend the sentence method, the rea-
son will be the fact that the aim of
those who advocate this way of teach
ing primary reading, is the giving to
the earliest beginner sentences full of
thought. Surely in this thinking age,
that method must be predominant,
which can furnish to the child the most
Intellectual food. while leading him to
translate written or printed thought.
To obtain the right results in using
this sentence method there is neces-
sity for giving the child much reading
outside his text book, and in the first
years work, much of this extra read
ing must be upon the black board. In
accordance with this method more.
over, the first thing to be taken into
account. in the preparation of this
needed supplementary work, is the
fact that there must be wholesome
thoughts for the little one in each les
lesson. The extra reading will fal
far short of doing what it might, if it i.
fashioned after the heathenish pat
terms in our regular first readers

to an increase in the pay of all
senator's clerks from 81, 200 to
81, 500 year. And, mind you,
the clerks to members of the house
are only paid 500 a month while
congress is actually in session.
This indicates the truth of the
adage: "Demand Difference and

Silver democrats are charging
that the national association OF
democratic clubs, which a Virgin
ia man calls "an association of a
few democratic clubs" is merely
the tail to the Cleveland single
standard gold kite. The execu-
tive committee of this association
held a meeting in Washington
this week and named St. Louis as
the place, and September 30th,
next, as the time for holding the
national convention of the asso-
citation.
The long string of worlds fair
quarrels was recalled by a peti-
ton this week sent to the senate
by ex-senator Palmer, who was
president of the exposition, ask
ing the passage of resolution to
compel Mrs. Potter Palmer, pres

gers; Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith,
another member of that board;
President Higinbothan, of the
Chicago board of managers; Geo.
r. Davis, director general, and
other officials of the exposition, tc
make their reports to him, as he
claims the law directs. He says
Davis made his report to congress-
Mrs. Palmer to the President, anG
that the others have made no re,
ports. 1t is fotunate that Presi
dent Palmer is an an ex-senator
otherwise his tempest in tea
pot would receive little attention
from congress. It is not certain
that it will get much, anyway.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. As a. M
Mckinley has carried Kentucky by a
small plurality.
Returns from 1,169 precincts out of
total of 1853, including Louisville. give
Mckinley a net plurality of 1852. The
counties not yet reported include some
Republican as well DIS some strong Sill
yer counties, but the heavy Republican
gains everywhere seem to make the
state safe for Mckinley, though the
result may be close.

PENNSYLVANIA.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov 4.-The re-
cent Pennsylvania house of representa-
tives was composed of lis Republicans
and % Democrats. An entire new body
of 204 members was chosen at this
election. Of this number the Republic
ans have, so far as known, elected 145
and the Democrats 10:
Owing to the enormous size of the
ballot. figures, especially those in Phil
adelphia, are hard to get at. Rough
reports received, however, go to show
that Mckinley will have over 200
majority in Philadelphia, and the state
will swell this by nearly 10000 more
This is the greatest Republican ma jor-
ity ever given by the state.
The Republicans lose two congress-
men in this city. Congressman Nc
Aleer defeated Congressman Halter
man in the Third district, and in the
Seventeenth district Waller defeated
Kulp. The Democrats also elect their
two congressman in the Eighth and
Ninth districts. This about sums up
the Democratic success in Pennsyl-
vania.

PRESS COMMENT.
New York Tribune.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4-The Tribune this
morning comments ed;torally upon the
result of yesterdays election as follows:
William Mckinley has been elected
by an overwhelming majority and the
anxiety of all patriotic hearts gives place
to a joy too profound for expression. 1t
Is not only victory, but one so complete
and decisive as to answer the fervent
prayers of loyal men, Bryan, Organism
Altegeldism, the free silver conspiracy
and the plots of anarchists are all buried
under an avalanche of ballots. There
have been few grander moments in the
history of self-government than this
Today the whole nation rises by treading
on its own mistakes. and its own most
dangerous tendencies and joins none
more hearty than many who contributed
to the error in the triumphant shouts
with which the majority in this greatest
of Democratic cities halls the verdict of
the people. Saved again from a peril not
less great than that of the rebellion it
self, the president will not fail to honor
first of all William Mckinley himself
whose craftsmanship and lofty patriotism
have been not more conspicuous than his
wise leadership. But above all it is the
victory of the people who have once more
shown with startling distinctness their
capacity and therefore their right to gov
ern themselves

CONNECTICUT.

HARTFORD, Conn, Nov. 4-McKin-
ley has swept the state by about $4,000
plurality in a total vote of 10, 900. Lor-
inc A. Cook of Winstead, Republican,
is elected governor by a plurality OF
perhaps $4,000. The four Republican
congressman are all elected by MAORI
ties ranging from 5000 to $4,000. The
legislature will have a Republican ma
jority Of 1872 on joint ballot, insuring the
election of United States Senator Or
vile H. Plat TO succeed himself.
NE WHAVEN. Conn, Nov. 4.-The
states plurality for Mckinley is esti-
mated at 10000. All towns show great
Republican gains. In some of the
smaller towns Bryan is running behind
the Prohibition vote. From reports
thus far received, Bryan has only car
ried one town in nnecticut-Naugu-
tuck. All four Republican congress
men are elected. The vote of Connect
cut is estimated as follows: Mckinley,
105, 900; Bryan, $4,000; Palmer, 10000
MeKinley's plurality, 5000.
