that prices can be controlled by currency legislation. These assaults upon stable currency must be met from time by a fearless and we'll informed electorate
 It has been favorite con ter tion with the free coinage advocates that there is not enough gold to furnish 8 susacient volume of money with which to do the business of the country. This argument was bat tered to death during the campaign last fall with an invincible array of statistics and logic. It was shown that only about per cent of the gold and silver cons were actually passed from hand to hand in busi- ness transactions, and that out of over 400, ,000,000 silver dollars that had been coined it was never possi- ble to keep over 58, 900, 900 of them in actual circulation.
 Whether these arguments made any impression on the free silvecites or not, the news from the Klondike region contains no comfort for those who maintain that gold is not plen- tiful enough to furnish a basis for a sufficiently elastic circulating med ium. So far $1, 300, ,000 in gold from the Klondike district has been de posited ct the hints and assay off ces of the United States, and from information TOW at hand there are reasons for believing that from $3, 900, GOO to $4, GOO, 900 additional will be brought out by steamers and re- turning miners sailing from St. Michael's the last of September Director of the Mint Preston esti- mates that the Klondike district will augment the worlds gold sup ply in 1897 nearly $7,00O, 900. It will probably add to the product from year to year for a decade or more. Canada's output for 1897 is estimated at $10, ,000, 900, an increase over 1896 of $7, 200, 900. The United States leads all other countries, the product for 1897 being estimated at $60, 900, 900. The product of the world for 1897 is placed at $219, ,OO0, 900.
 It is the opinion of Secretary Gage aud Comptroller Eckles that the influx of gold from the Klondike region will stimulate bus mess undertakings, create new ven- lures and bring a new volume of ex changes into the competition for Its coinage will add to the volume of gold coin, and to that extent take away to a large de- gree from those who advocate free coinage their basic argument that there is not enough go to meet the wants of trade.-Chicago Times Hera1d.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
 Serofulous Humors - How Cure
 Was Effected.
 "when five years old my little boy had serofula on his faee, hands and arms. 1t was worst on his chin, although the sores on his cheeks and hands were very bad. It appeared in the form of red pimples which would lester, break open and run and then scab over. After disappearing they would break out again. They caused intense itching and the little sufferer had to be watched continually to keep him from scratching the sores. We became greatly alarmed at his condition. My wife's mother had had scrofula and the only medicine which had helpd her was Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give it to our boy and we noted an improve ment in his case very soon. After giving him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla the humor had all been driven out of his blood and it has never since returned" !" WILLIAM BARrz, 416 South Williams St., South Bend, Indiana.

What Journalism Is.

In an interesting address on journal
ism before the Am ateur Press associa-
tioa, in Philadelphia, the other day,
the veteran editor, A. K. Mcclure, gave
some good advice to aspiring newspa-
per men. ''There is no other calling
IN which SO great possibilities await
those who enter it. There is one thing
which must not be overlooked, how
ever, and that is that men can not be
educated to become journalists. Many
colleges have such departing in
their curriculums. They can only
teach principles. but journalists are
very much like Topsy, they grow: they
are not made. On one occasion l had
a conversation with the late Joseph r.
Chandler, in which the latter spoke of
the fact tn at when he first became con-
nected with the United States
Gazette of which he was the pub
Usher, he did every bit of writ
ing on the paper, editorial and re-
portorial, and in order to
fill out his spare moments at the same
time taught school. Now there is not q
newspaper in the city that does not en-
ploy over hundred people, and jouna-
ism is yet in its infancy. 1t is the one
calling where the man or the woman is
advanced only as he or she deserves.
Good Journalism are wanted all the
time. There is not day that the news
papers don't want to engage three or
four, and there's not newspaper in
town that doesn't want q $4,000 man
every hour. The journalist is
one who knows and learns instipctively
the value of news and how to present it
freshly and attractively. The woods are
full of commonplace journalists If a
young man comes to me and asks me
what to write about, l know he is of no
use. The writer who can not make
his own subject and present it brightly
is not journalist. The journalist is
the one who sees special article every
day of his life. Nature is full of stories,
if we only know how to value and apply

SUGG ESTIONS ON SCHOOL MANAGE
MENT AND TEACHING.
l. Review, review, review.
2. Never make anything pertaining
to management an end in itself.
3. No work is ever likely to be well
done if it is not we'll planned.
I. The teacher should make daily
preparation for every recitation, D.
m after how familiar the subject is. aud
should seek new and attractive ways of
presenting the same.
5. Have a carefully arranged pro-
gram, and begin and end each exercise
at the exact time indicated.
6. A teachers example weighs more
than words. 1t has a direct and per-
sonal influence upon the pupil.
7. It is not difficult to teach bright
pupils. Only the best teachers can
really aid dull children. A genuine
love for the weak and backward shows
the heart of the true teacher, because
the lower the order of mind, the high
err the art must be to lift it up.
8 1t is the work of the teacher to
get his pupils to think, not to think for
them; to make them talk, not to talk
for them: to draw out their powers, not
to display his own; hence he should not
supplant the child's activity by his
own. The pupil that grows, must
think. talk and do.
9 Good instruction will accomplish
two grand purposes; it will inspire
pupils with desire to accumulate
k knowledge, and will stimulate the
faculty of thought proper. The pupil
is first instructed under guide in
order that he may finally instruct him
self.
10. The earliest instruction must
necessarily be given in the concrete;
give place to instruction in the alb
stract, to degree measured by the
pupils ability to interpret language.
The child's stock of ideas far exceeds
The power of expression; and when he
enters school he is in far greater need
IF words than of facts.

pupil should gain from the recitation

ed the coming year: Teachers
should be employed upon their merits
1t is unjust to the schools as a system
10 the tax payers, by whom they are
| supported: to the fathers and mothers
who patronize them: and grossly unjust
| to the Children who are to be taught,
aud whose lives are to be moulded by
| the teachers under whom they are to
! be placed. to employ any who are not
! qualified, and particularly skillful in
| the art of government and instruction.
Political perferment, social or secular
| influences, the influences of relatives,
should not be felt here. Those who
have studied the educational interests
of today, and are familiar with the
public school systems in every detail,
who know their needs and can see dan
gers which may threaten the entire
system, recognize that there are two
potent policies which should be rigidly
observed: LIST, the complete disassocia-
ton of the public schools from polite
al social or secular influences; 2nd,
the requirement of a high standard of
instruction in all the departments of the
schools.
SALARIES.
The liberality of the board in point
of salaries is a strong factor in main
tanning an efficient system of schools.
y
pay your teacr ers are high-not one
bit too high-they are such as have se-
cured as good talent as there is in Tex
as, and whatever success your schools
have attained is due largely to this po-
Icy of the board. Good pay and COM
petent teachers" is a motto
that may we'll be kept before the
eyes of the management of a school
system.
DISCIPLINE.
The question of discipline is one of
the most important ones which con-
front the management of system of
schools. To my mind, it requires as
much genuine ability to discipline a
school properly, as it does to impart
1t is my opinion that at
least ninety-five per cent of children
that go to school, perhaps more, can be
with little difficulty if they
are understood. The greater portion,
not all. of the trouble which teachers
have in this part of their work arises
from a misconception of child nature
Teachers should study dill gently to know
their pupils, their individual peculiar |
tiles, their natural tendencies, their |
weaknesses. and their strength.
remarked above that 50 per cent or
more of the children who come under
the care of teachers can be managed |
with little difficulty. 1t is true; but in
every school there are some who need
special attention, and special methods,
and in crowded rooms where teachers
ire heavily worked, they often have
lot the time if they had the tact to

manage such cases. There are pupils,
usually boys from homes of parents,
who either from ignorance or neglect
sometimes both. allow their children
ly no idea of right or justice. This
class of children needs special atten-
ton. They should be separated from
the other children of the buildings and
put into a special school with proper
advantages under the care of pecu-
liarly adapted instructor.
COURSE OF STUDY.
The course of study, with few ex-
captions, remains the same as it was
last year. 1t is in harmony with the
courses of study of other C, ties in the
state, and embodies about the same
branches and the same amount of work.
There will be no change of text books
recommended.
THE HIGH SCHOOL.
The department Of Literature and
Latin has been especially strengthen
ed. The Scientific department., by the
addition of fair chemical and physic-
al laboratory, has been much improv-
ed, while the work done in the other
departments, which TO- years has been
COOS, will compare favorably with that
of other high schools in the country.
w y
make some valuab advances by spe-
cializing as far as possible the different
departments. One teacher will have
all the mathematics, another all the
his .ory, another all the languages and
llteratures. etc.
THE KINDERGARTEN.
Four years of actual test as to the
advisability of maintaining this de-
partment of your schools make it no
longer an experiment. Nearly all the
parents of the city who have patroniz-
ed it can testify as to its merits. Out
side of the influences for good upon the
morals and manners and habits of the
little ones who attend the kindergar-
ten, a careful examination of their work
in the primary and succeeding grade
shows cOnclusively that as classes
they do much better than the chill
dren who have not had the Kindergar-
ten advantages.

President Mckinley attended the re-
union of his d regiment, the 23d Ohio,
last Thursday. That regiment has
some special claims to distinction. l,
gave the country two presidents, Col.
Hayes and Private Mckinley. It's first
colonel, Rosecrans, was COMMUNICATIVE
CHI eff of the Union army at Stone river
and hickamagua, and is one of the
few survivors of high rank. The first
lieutenant colonel of the regiment,
Stanley Matthews, became justice Of
the supreme court of the United States.
Another regimental field officer was
Gen. Comfy, who subsequently COM
manded brigade and was minister to

are: a. clearer understanding of
the subject matter: (2) growing pleas
ure in the study: (3) stimulous to self
&C ivity: and az the conversion of
knowledge into faculty, habit, opinion,
or culture.
II. Some of the qualities of good
recitation are: Lively atter ton, ami
nation, anticipation; through mas
terry of the assigned lesSOon: an intel
ligent reproduction of the thought:
prompt and definite responses: good
order.
ID. The secret of successful teaching
is the ability to interest the pupils and
I ea CHI them to think, and such success
is possible to every earnest teacher.
IA. The restlessness and curiosity
of children are Natures wise and
necessary provisions for their growth.
Is. Make the schoolrOom bright
with pictures, flowers and sunshine.
To many little ones the pleasant tones
and smiles of the teacher and the gen
ial surrounding of the school, open the
gates of a heaven unrevealed in the
homes. If the school is pleasant, the
child will not become impatient under
its restraints.
16. 1t IS as much the teachers duty
to'teach obedience as it is to teach read
ing.
II. Laxity of discipline encourages
both disrespect and disorder.
Is. Children instiuctively respect
authority if eliberately and Justly ex-
ercised.
II. There is no conflict between firm
ness and kindness.
20. The foundations of good govern
ment are justice and benevolence. The
best system of government is that
which reaches its ends indirectly;
either by making obedience a matter
of self interest, or by removing motives
to such distance that obedience
seems to be mat err OF self choice.
2l The following are mistakes some
times made by teachers: To be con-
tiuually depressing the activities of
childhood; to censure triiiDg errors
too severely: to complain or erumble
much: to invoke higher authority ex-
cept as last resort, such as referring
matters of not very serious nature to
| the principal, superintendent, or board
of education: to be careless about per-
sonal habits and appearance; to give a
command when suggestion will do
| instead; to allOw'pupils to be frequently
troublesome without notifying their
parents; to make unkind remarks be
| fore the class about notes received
from parents;' to annoy parents un-
| necessarily; to show temper in deal
| ing with parents; to teach without
having good order; to suppose that
children like to have their own way at
| school, aud that they like disorder
| better than order; to treat pupils as
though they were anxious to violate
