TEACHERS WHO TEACH.

It is somewhat significant to note that the school authorities of Batavia, N. r., have made long step forward by going backward, if that is a fair way to put it. At any rate the Superintendent found that tho pupils were not advancing as they should. and that some were falling behind others, or holding them back. Then he began to look for the remedy and he found it by employing extra teachers, not to hear recitations. but to give individual instruction to the pupils who were falling behind and dragging the whole school back to lower standards. The experl- ment, to quote the language of the State Superintendent, twas a, startling and in stantaneous success Encouragement, the bane of public school life, disappeared from all faces and tears from all eyes It was found that backward children were catching up with the bright ones, and. in many cases, outstripping them, and the leading lights of the classes soon had all they could do to keep up with the dull scholars
 
 ployed and required to teach the children and not merely to hear them recite the lessons that had been taught them at home. And the Superintendent says:
 The individual instructor, if she rightly understands her function, does not under any circumstances do the work of the child, but shows him how to do it himself The great achievement of learning how to study, how to concentrate the mind often unlearncd until college is reached Is gained at the very beginning of school This is definitely encouraging, and it is also encouraging. as we'll as somewhat surprising, to find an educational publi- cation like The Journal of Pedagogy en- dorsing the movement and declaring thas there may be seen in Batavia a healthier. happy more industrious body of teachers and pupils than are to be found in any other public school system in America"
 Is not that advancing by going back ward? It Is not stating anything new to say that all children of the same age can not learn with equal facility. The slow or dull ones must fall behind, or they must be a clog on those who learn ran. idly. Is 1t not plain, then, that the rem edy' is to have teachers who win heIp the children to learn, instead of expecting them to do all their learning at home? Is 1t not kindness, as well as an advant- age, to the slow ones to be instructed and helped along in their studies? 1t cer- tainly is, and Batavia has set a good ex- ample. Let us have some teachers to teach.

rhe 0Club Rate" for Lynchers.

Baltimore Sun, ,, ,..
 +bat illinois court arrived at the fines for inc lynching of a negro school teacher at BellevilIe. The lynching took place last Twne and was ''one of the events of the Seasop After proclamations by officials. nmmerous arrests and threats of swift nnd terrible vengeance to be visited upon the lynchers, they were caught, tried and Teiened at the bar to hear their doom nronounced The terrible punishment of sso fine each and costs of S15 was visited upon them. This made total of $uo and Courier seems to think the fine must have been based on what the teacher would have sold for in time of slavery. Uvhefher this was the method or not the faet that such 8 thing will cost S7I5 in sood money will probably deter an Illi- 1ois mob quite as effectively as a threat

TREATY SURE.
Democratic Senators Balk on Cor
 mans Proposition.

mans ErOpoSlC1ou.
 Washington Special to New York Times.
 Senator German again has failed to unite the Senate Democrats in support of his policies. This time his failure is on the Panama canal. There will be no Dem ocratic caucus on that subject; every Sen- ator will be left to vote as he pleases, and there will be at least fifteen Demo- cratic votes for the treaty--perhaps more. The ratification of the convention Is as- sured.
 The contrast presented by the warning and discordant Democratic party in the Senate and the united and harmonious party in the House is not due to Eena- torial unwiilingness to get together. The trouble has been that, in every case, MT. German has tried to unite them on poli- cies. which were violently disapproved by their constituents and In which many of the Senators did not believe. Between their desire for harmony and the fire from their constituents in the rear the Sena- tors have been in a predicament for which scented no parallel.
 The Democrats have been slipping away from Mir. German for two weeks. The first announcement of his Panama policy brought a chorus of disapproval from the Some of the Southern Legislatures have tors to vote for the treaty. In other States public sentiment has manifested it. self in other ways.
