THE TEXT BOOK.


ennoble those in her charge. The
methods used may be as diversified
as are the characters Of the pupils
with whom we deal, yet they all
should have one object in view, all
should lead to one ultimate goal
perfection.
But whatever the method used,
still the teacher is the moving
power, the living force by which
the child is urged to newer fields
and to higher ideals. She is the
means by which all the latent
energy, the sleeping faculties of
the pupil must be aroused.
Teachers observe, and thereby
cause your pupils to observe; act
and inspire the pupil to act; fail to
do this and you fail in the one
great aim of your profession. If
you have failed to cause the child
to observe the world about him
and to base facts upon this knowl-
edge; if you have failed to lead
him from the known to the un.
known, from the concrete to the
abstract. If you have failed TO
inspire him to act IN worthy,
upright manner, 1t is because You
as leader have failed to do these
things in way forcible enough to
make a lasting impression upon
the child. Ponder carefully then
your method of presentation.
The first object in presenting a
subject should be to develop power
in the child's mind. To do this
cause the child to act for himself.
The mind is ever active, merely
needing right guidance for full
development.
That a subject may be clearly
set forth and received to advan.
tage, two things are of importance
the proper use of the text book,
first by the teacher, second, by the
the pupil.
To the true instructor the text
book is but guide book; useful
and indispensable aid in the hands
OF wise and .discrete dictator.
Ii necessary, the teacher should be
able to compile text. book for
himself, that is, he should be
familiar enough with the subject
in hand to arrange series of les.
sons for the use of his classes. He
should be so thoroughly acquain-
ted with the mental development
of the child as to know whether or
not he is pursuing the true course
for the mind. IL he is not able TO
do this, he is not in the true sense
of the word, "a teacher. He is
depriving the pupil of IA training to
which he is duly entitled and
which he. rs teacher, il in duty
bound to give. Such ignorance
robs the child of advantages, the
lack of which may affect his career
throughout after life.
The teacher scould be 80 thor.
onghly posted on the subject mat.
ter which he is to teach, that the
textbook may be entirely discar.
ded during recitation. Pupils
must lay aside the book at this
pcroid. They must know each
topic of the lesson thoroughly or
their preparation is not complete.
II this is required Of the pupils,
should the teacher, their leader,
their example he dependent upon
the book? Such "a weakness dis.
played by teacher will be observed
by pupil and confidence in him
lessened.
Not only should the instructor
be convcrsant with the adopted
textbook but with different works
upon the subject. No one text.

of the locomotive and baggage and
mail cars to seventy tons. SIX passen-
ger coaches at an average of nineteen
tons, weight of baggage. of fuel carried,
the weight of a train made up of a To-
connective and eight cars would be 1874
tons, or 36S,0 900 pounds exclusive of the
passengers and mail matter.
Pulling 1874 tons along railroads al the
rate of fifty miles an hour or more is
an achievement which has not been
easily brought about. and the more the
problem is studied the more clearly it
is understood how far the mechapical
work on railroads has been pushed.
There We're by the last figures reported
S6,0o0 locomotives in use on the Ameri-
can railroads, $4,000 passenger cars and
5000 mail and baggage cars. These
Figures seem large until compared with
the number Of freight cars on American
railroads, and then they seem insignfi-
cant. for the number of freight cars in
use is l,250.0p0.
Freight cars among the railroad men
are divided into four classes fat cars,
such as are used for the transportation
lof stone, machinery and lumber; box
cars, such as are used for the transport
tation of grain. fruit and ordinary
merchandise: stock ears. such as are
used for the transportation Of live
stock, and cars such as are used for
4 coal and ol-those used for oil being
siinnlisa with tanks The average

seven tons. The car costs 5000 TO $500.
4 Box cans weigh a ton more and cost
800 more each. Stock cars weigh about

~ w lSc woman Appears IOr the
second Time This season.
The much heralded a Wise Woman
came 10 the Ddeon last night for the
second time this season. Just why the
management Of the company is BOOM
ing this piece 50 extensively is not cas-
lily understood. unless it be to fill the
exchequer under false pretenses. Not
because the company of seven people
and the play itself are not without
merit but because both might be in-
proved in places, is there reason
for adverse criticism. The piece is a
cross between legitimate comedy and
horse play. and while the former por-
tons We're Very we'll handled, there was
too much inclination To rant thru the
latter. In the character of Paul Roach
Mr.. Frederick Murphy fails 10 MAKE
the most of his opportunity or rather
ln1akes too much of IT, His sister Miss
Marie Lainour, as Honor Racket, is
decidedly the star OF the attraction.

jumping onto County Commissioners
jacobson and LaFond for what the
board did by unanimous vote. jacob
son and La Fond are the Republican
members, and the other three COM
missioners are Democrats and COM
pose the majority. How is that for
political fair play? The party that
controls the board condemns the
minority for action that was taken
unanimously! That condition would
seem to stop the attacks of the Demo-
GRAFT on Republican members, or else
disgust fair minded voters with
Dem Ocratic methods.
