TEACHING THEM ENGLISH. !

Young Foreigners Taught Our Language
BY Object Lessons.
The simple and effective method of
teaching English to the children of
Italians, Portuguese, Polish and Ger
man Jews, used profitably in the North
end schools Of Boston, might profitably
be adopted by other cities which are
obliged to face the fact that within
their borders are thousands of foreign
children who know nothing of the Gus
toms, institutions or language Of this
country. A writer in the Boston Trans-
cript thus describes the method:
The children, within few days after
their arrival, are sent to the public
schools, as a rule without compulsion,
and here they are first of all taught
the English language. 1t is done by a
system of object lessons. The teachers
In the elementary rooms are young
women, as men would not be patient
enough to accomplish the best results.
The teacher may point to her eye and
say: 'This is my eye" repeating it sew
eral times and requiring the pupils to
repeat it in unison. Other portions of
the body are pointed out in similar
manner, and then familiar objects in
the room are in the same way brought
to the attention of the children.
Later, when they have made sufficient
progress in the language, it becomes
desirable to teach the different lenses.
To accomplish this boy or girl is di.
rected to run slowly around the room,
when the teacher and children say in
unison:
1.-THE boy h running" repeating the
sentence several times. The boy is
then told to halt, and the teacher and
pupils say in unison: ''That boy did
run" Again: THAT boy is standing
still" THAT boy can rum" 'That boy
= walking" THAT boy walks fast" II
can walk" II can rum" II did walk"
etc.
These and other sentences, as they are
spoken. are written on the blackboard
by the teacher and the pupils write
them on their states. Thus they are
taught the language and taught to
spell, read and write almost simulta-
neously.

AN ENGLISH VIEW.

AnRaend cd Russia Can Never h
b Friends.
! The truth is that Great Britain and
Russia are too big ever to agree for any
time. We believe that to our race will
fall the ultimate supremacy of the
world; Russia believes exactly the same
OF herself. Sooner or later the two am
billions must collide, and we had bet
ter be making ready for that great day
at once. To allow Russia to absorb all
possible strength before the conflict is
to put premium on defeat and ruin.
} What, then. does England want? We
want, above all, q new eastern policy
and definite one-such a policy as is
pigeonholed in the bureaus of St.
petersburg. We have cast China over
board; we might ballast the ship with
Japan. We talk Of Japan as friendly
power, and even as an ally, but with
what warrant? Inasmuch as we nut
no pressure on her to abandon her Chi
nese conquests, and were the first vest
ern power to recognize her adolescence
Dy compromising the privileges of ex-
ira -territoriality, it is probable that she
narbors less resentment toward us than
toward Russia. But we have done moth
ing for her; on the contrary, we have
made singular exhibition OF impo-
tence at the recent crisis Of her ma
tional life. and such an exhibition il
spt to depreciate the value Of the ex-
friendship.
II we are to ally with Japan we must
% prepared to fight for her il it is nee.
sssary. In some years she will com.
nAnd navy which. with our own Chin,
squadron. could easily sweep the Pa.
'inc, while on land she will dispose OF
1alf million trained men. Only, II we
want the aid Of this force we must not
'epeat the pitiful abandonment of the
;hinese policy. In one word, alliance
u NO alliance, we ought to be clear what
ve will fight for.-Blackwood'ssM
dine.

Mr.. Issac Horner, proprietor Of
the Burton House, Burton, w. Va,
and one of the most widely known
men in the state was cured OF
rheumatism after three years of
suffering. He says: II have not
sufficient command of language to
convey any idea ofwhat 1 suffered;
my physicians told me that moth
ing could he done for me; and my
friends were fully convinced that
nothing but death would relieve
me ofmy suffering. In June, 1894
Mr.. Evans, then salesman for the
Wheeling Drug Co., recommended
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. At
this time my foot and limb were
swollen to more than double their
normal size and it seemed to me
my leg would burst, but soon after
l began using the Pain Balm, the
swelling began to decrease, the
pain to leave, and now consider
that l am entirely cured. For sale

BOise statesman.
Frank Fem narrates an interest
ing story respecting the first child
born in Florence. The parents Of
the child were Mr.. and Mrs. j. G.
Foster. In thosse days, 1S64-5,
there were very few families in
that section. One was that of Mr..
Fenn's parents. When the Fos-
ter baby was born there was no
nOurishmcnt furnished by nature
for it. Mrs. Fem undertook to
get it, started ON rico water and
other preparations, but these did
not agree with the infant and the
little thing seemed destined to die.
It was ut one time planned by Mr..
Foster to take the child in his
arms and make snow shoe trip to
a distant point where there we're
cows, but it was agreed that the
infant would perish from cold.
AT last some one suggested there
was a bunch Of sheep on Salmon
river, nine miles distant, and it
was thought likely there was q
eve with milk in the band. A
man known as Flintlock Wilson
volunteered to go down and see if
a sheep could be secured. He
found one solitary sheep, black
one, with n lamb by her side. He
captured the animal, led it as far
rs he could walk, and then, swing
ing it across his shoulders, mount
ed his snow shoes and carried it
into camp. The black ewes milk
saved the child. 1t was Franks
duty the remainder of the winter
to milk the sheep.
