Mr.. Bryan's review of the last three
great panics-the only ones that have
occurred since the Republicans came
into power-showed that they all took
place under Republican auspices The
panic OF 1873 followed a great RepuD-

after more than ten years OF Repub

Pedagogical Pebbles

This is our twenty-third school
week.
Our coughs and colds seem to be
better and scarcer.
We notice some new drawing and
folding in the first grade room. (The
work of the little people there.)
Some good blackboard drawings
add to the pleasure of the pupils oil
the second grade.
The third graders are doing some
hard work in the endeavor to make
grade.
The program of the week was
given by members of the fourth
grade Friday afternoon and was patri-
otto in nature. Over twenty visitors,
mostly parents, were present and from
them we heard many words of praise
for both teachers and pupils.
The fifth graders are doing some
special work in making maps of the
eastern states.
Pupils in the sixth, seventh and
eight grades are grinding quite faith
fully at the subject belonging especi-
ally to them and with nothing partic-
ularly new in sight.
Judging by Monday this will be a
muddy week. We ought to have a
hundred loads of sand scattered around
to take the place of the mnd in our
yards.
1t is reported that the authorities in
New York City after considerable
agitation and investigation have re-
stored the rod to the public schools.
Twenty-nine of the thirty-six largest
cities of the United States allow
corporal punishment in their schools.
