"1IENACE OF EDUCATIONAL METH
ODS,,


1t has long keen belief among
large class of citizens that any criticism
of our public system Of education involved
an imputatlon OF. the public spirit and pa
tTfotism Of the critic. The sanctity with
which We have regarded everything re-
lating 10 our common schools has been
under all the circumstances very credita
BILE to the national sense. But we have
passed the merely sentimental stage in
educat ional matters and neither a false
patriotism nor any undue regard for the
views or feeling Of those who are charged
professionally with the responsibility for
the educational welfare Of the growing
generation should restrain either criticism
or condemnation where either is merited
Recent thought on educational subjects
shows that the public schools OF America,
as we'll as those entrusted with their con-
troll, are quite likely to be treated with
much less consideration in the future
than has been bestowed upon them in
the past. There is a critical disposition
showing itself in many directions; and the
truth is gradually forcing itself on
thoughtful citizens that the returns which
are given for the vast outlay of public
funds involved in the maintenance Of
those schools. are much more meager
than they should be.
The main object of any educational sys-
tenn locked at from the purely scholastic
standpoint, is the acquisition of at least
the basis Of good knowledge Of the
child's native language. Unless a how
comes from the public school with at
least the rudiments OF q sound English
education, he Is destined 20 be newer Of
wood and a drawer of water. His life
will be comparatively worthless. We
may thcorize and sentimentaIizo as much
as we please about the knowledge of ar.
and nature which should be inculcated
through scholastic studies; but the fact
remains The same, that the value of q
given educational system is, and has al
ways Eeen. and will continue to be tested
by. the answers to the Inquiry, whether
the pupil can read ard write his own

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WlNDFALL, Ind, Dec. 4-Robert john
son. a farmer about seventy-five years OF
age. who owns a farm near this place, has
discovered evidence of what he regards as a
swindie in his dealings with two men pur-
porting TO be agents for a fencing machine.
They induced Mr.. Johnson. according TO
the latter's statement, to take an agency,
agreeing to sell $40 machines TO him at $40.
He signed what purported 20 be a contract
on these terms and a note in payment for
one machine at that price. His son read
the contract after the men had left, and
found that he was charged in full for five
machines at $50 each and S. each on thirty
machines at the same price.
On further investigation he found two
notes, seemingly signed by him, for 800
each payable at the Fletcher Bank in In

banks in that part of the State not to buy
any notes bearing his signature, as they
