Fresh Sensations In the Avon School
Row.


ST CLOUD, Mimi, Feb. 27.-Thc
Rocholl school investigation into the
conduct of public school under secta-
rian methods resumed this morning.
Miss Mary Tschumperlin, graduate
of the ST. Cloud normal school, who
succeeded Joseph Heinen as teacher in
the Avon district, testified that she had
asked Rocholl whether she SHOULD have
prayers in the school and he said no.
Afterwards she had received written
notification from the trustees that the
board had allowed the petition of pat
rons that prayers and religious exer-
cises be resumed She had prayers
after then on opening and closing Of
school, with no intermisSion between
prayers and school work.
The prosecution then called more
witnesses to prove that the only oh
lection to Heinen was that he refused
to say prayers, and that John Eich.
who had been given a certificate, was
an hahitual drunkard. This brought
on sensational scene Attorney

PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 27.-A calm re-
view of the results of the senatorial
contest discloses many reasons why the
Populists ought to feel ashamed of
their work. Without getting down to
the real meat of the situation, they
contented themselves with trying to
mlslead the opposition candidates by
questionable practices, and in so doing
they lost sight of the real question,
which everybody knew was essential
10 success. Unity of action could only
accomplish the election Of a senator.
The opposition to Kyle was so bitter
that 1t overlooked the fact that it was
standing in it's own light and contrib
ut1ng TO its own destruction. There
was no time from the first ballot when
the Populists could not have elected a
senator if they had been united. and
any complaint from them over the re-
suit IS i'll timed
IL Is said that there is no parallel in
western history to the election of Sem
ator Kyle. That the minority. with
eighteen votes to overcome. should
control the election as we'll as all mat
tiers of legislation, is a strong tribute
70 their generalship. The present leg
lslature has been practically in con-
troll of the Republicans from the first
day of the session.
There has been no session of either
branch of the legislature when the flI-
slonists acted in concert; their net
measures have been killed day after
cay, and yet they could not agree to
UNITS on any proposition. Had they
elected a senator during the first DAYS
they could have passed every measure
that they introduced.

4. S. Hinman Makes Emphatic
Remarks.

DOESN'T BELIEVE IN CERTAIN MODERN
INNOVATIONS IN TEACHING READING.
see by THE BEE that the Secretary Of
the State Board of Education, at teach
ers' meeting in South Britain, few days
since, advocated the idiotic system of
teaching reading by the word method.
1t is pity that some of the older resi-
dents of South Britain, who must well
remember lady that when little girl
less than four years old stood up in a
class and read from the New Testament
without hesitation, and her brother, one
of the best educated men South Britain
ever sent out into the world, who learned
the alphabet in his baby play and would
creep and point to any letter pasted
around the room just high enough so
that the little fellow could not pick them
off, before he could walk or talk, and
also of the little daughter of former
South Britain minister, schoolmate of
these children, that read English without
trouble and was studying Latin when
only five year Of age, could not have been
present and told Mr. Hine some of the
possibilities of kindergarten education.
Not one of these children was Injured by
early study because only their memories
were called on, and the child's memory
is naturally called upon continually when
iu is awake. Reasoning powers are de-
Yeloped late. A child can be taught
that cat stands for cat, that three times
two make six and three added to two
make five as soon as it can talk, and
without injury. Mr. Hine knows, or
ought to know, that children are not
taught to read, in way that will enable
them to take up book or newspaper and
read as intelligently, as quickly by the
word method,as when they are taught the
letters, taught what letters make certain
words and then taught to put the words
together and make sentences.
The next new fad, or continuation of
the present fad, may be to have the child
glance at a whole sentence and fire it
off as statement of something without
knowing what the words are. This is
quite practical. 1 have seen little child
that was learning to read by the word
method" that committed the first lesson
in her reading book to memory before
she learned to tell one word in ten when
she saw it on the next page in a different
sentence. Any one who has tried to
make use of stenographer and type
writer who has learned to read by the
WORD method" knows that spelling was
omitted. Mr. Hine says he does not care
whether children learn to spell or not.
Possibly he is right, but if the child is
ever to learn to spell it should be when
It's memory is its best faculty and its time
the least valuable. 1t may NOT take an
lS.year-old person any longer to learn to
spell than one five years old, but it will
take just as long, and when a little one
has learned to spell and pronounce st
sight the ordinary words in use, reading
is taught very easily when the child is
old enough to comprehend what the
words and sentences mean.
Fads may be necessary to keep up in
terest in education as st present msnag-
ed, but it is pity to waste public money
and the time Of children in such fads IS
the "word method" of teaching S.
Hinman.
