good account of herself at the next con-

The New Method of Instruction.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1t may not be inadmissible with the clos
ing of the school year to offer criticism
in regard to the much-talked-of new met hod
OF instruction, which has now about reach
ed the climax of it's growth and may be
considerably modified during the next few
years.
To the casual observer there is nothing
peculiar about this method other than that
it is ciffuse and ornate and consequently
slow. For illustration take the sentence.

rectness was pronounced in good faith by
the crude and unscentific schoolmaster OF

of the new method and fiavoring well with
enthusiasm, she pronounces the following:

roundabout way of saying three words she
informs us that she is endeavoring to train
the children to think to feel and to see.
that the actual amount of knowledge gain

compared with the training OF the mind ana

love with her work and one cannot help

earnestness as she tiptoes breathlessiy

Coakley's Hands Saturday Evening.
A bold thief, who was hardly paid for his
trouble, robbed Mrs. Annie Coakley Of her

through the Smithsonian grounds, going in
the direction of her home, when the rob-
berry occurred. Two LADY friends were
with her at the time, but they were so
thoroughly frightened they were unable TO
be of assistance.
The pocket book I'm Mrs. Coakley's hand

session OF the book, which contained less
than $1.JO.
After this unpleasant experience Mrs.
Coakley went home, and soon afterward
her husband informed the police Of the af-
fair. A description of the robber was
given, and the police are looking for him.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

AT this time of the year a cold is

run its course without the aid OF
some reliable cough medicine is Ii

pneumonia. We know oe no better
remedy to cure a cough or cold than
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. We
have used it quite extensively and
1t has always given entire satisfac-
ton. Oolagah, Ind. Tel. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is
knownato be a certain preventative
OF pneumonia. Among the many
thousands who have used it for
colds and la 'grippe we have never
yet learned of a single case having
resulted in pneumonia. Persons
who have weak lungs or have are
son to fear an attack of pneumonia
should keep the remedy at hand.

Under the above heading Col. F.
J. Parker's paper, the Walla Walla
Statesman, says:
"The LEADER, published at To-
ledo, Lincoln County, Oregon, is
trying the experiment of a semi
weekly edition at the price of one.
Ii is to be hoped that the proprietor
will make it pay. Such enterprise
in that neck O. woods will surely
surprise the mossbacks down there
and cause them to think the world
is coming to an end. Lincoln coun-
ty is the best county in Oregon for
diversified farming, and with its
mines and quarries yet compare
lively undeveloped, will yet be one
of the richest counties in the state.
Irrigation is unnecessary and the
insect pests so detrimental 10 coun-
ties outside the coast range are here
unknown. A wormy apple is new
er seen there, and some of the old
est orchards in the state have
proved their non-eXistence for the
past forty years. Why this county
is not more populated by an ener-
getic class of people is one of the
mysteries"
Colonel Parker is mistaken about
the people of Lincoln county being
mossbacks. We have found the
people of Lincoln county to be pro-
gressive and energetic. The Col.
is %eminently correct about the ad-
vantages and resources of the coun-
ty. Lincoln county is destined to
be a great and wealthy county.

Resolved, that to spend any more
money for the improvement of va

ey." c. L. Gowell and Harry
Denlinger affirmed and B. F. Jones
and VIM. Alexander denied the
proposition. The debate was spir-
tied, but as no judges had been Sc
lected no decision was rendered, 50
this very momentous question still
remains unsettled so far as Toledo's
literary society is concerned.
