THE RECITATION.

The recitation is the heart OF the
school. II from this heart there radi-
ates life, inspiration to study the next
lesson, information that is clear and
definite and JOY Of mastering lesson,
the school Is success.
On the part OF the teacher two things
are prominent in an efficient recitation.
lst. The teachers preparation. End.
The teachers habit OF insisting that
each pupil shall recite the assigned les.
son clearly and definitely.
On the part OF THE pupil, good les
sons well recited, depend upon two es
sential things: lat. The clearness and
correctness OF the teachers assign
ment. End. The teachers holding
the pupil to a clear and independent
recitation OF the lesson assigned.
Two OF the worst habits In teachers,
while conducting recitation are: 1st.
A plain lack OF preparation, life and
interest iD the subject. 2nd. Doing
the whole or part OF the recitation
for the pupil. These are deadenlng
habits and should DO condemned by
every teacher or inspector.
DO not repeat answers after the
pupil, Have your pupils recite from
topics. DO not run the recitation
mill too much by the question pump

RUMBLE SHERIFF AGAIN.

These are surely strenuous times
for Sheriff Kellner, after his run in
With alleged Stacker Mic Voss, two
weeks ago during which hammers
we're welded and pistol fired at the
officers, the sheriff was entitled to 3
respite. Last week he went opt 10
Valders looking for John Ellert who
had escaped from the state hospital
near Oshkosh He found John repair
ing barb wire fence on the farm of a
relative. He went oyer and told the
fugitive that he had called to take
him back. Ellert evidently did not
want to go back. He had hatchet in
his hand and only by suddenly grappl'
ing with him did the sheriff escape the
weapon. The two went into the wire
entanglements together. 1t might
have gone hard with the officer and
he might have lost more than his
trousers, which were torn off, had not
deputy Whitman arrived in time to
help subdue the insane man. AS it
was the majesty of the law had surely
been severely handled. The sheriff
was sight to behold. He was bleed
ing from scratches on his arms and
legs, the latter being unconventionally
exposed to the gaze of the world. The
Sheriff's job these days, like that of
the u. S. Marshal, is not all beer and
skittles but Joe seems to enjoy being
mussed up.

NEW EXCUSE IN SALOON CASE.

The city saloon ordinance forbids
the proprietor of saloon to have any
one in the bar room between midnight
and $50 A. Nj. once ia a while some
proprietor gets careless on this. One
night last week Matt Panosh permitted
a man to stay in the place until after
one o'clock. They then both left,
officers Christiansen and Ladwig both
made note OF the fact. In court Pan
osh said that the man waited for him
to act as body guard on the way home.
This was Il new one but the court
thought that the body guard might
have waited outside and imposed fine
of ten and costs which Matt paid.

LOCAL ARMY NEWS.

The local exemption board had GER
titled to the district board at Oshkosh
$50 names up to the first of this week
Another squad of fifty new men were
ordered to report this week. OF the
1870 certified some have already been
discharged by the district board for
industrial reasons and more may be.
Many young farmers who made claims
for discharge to the district board on
agricultural grounds have had their
claims denied. Where there is an or
binary farm and the person claiming
the exemption is one of two or more
male persons on the place the board
seems TO think that the work will be
done in his absence.
Several appeals to the president
we're mailed Friday and Saturday from
decisions of the district board in agri-
cultural cases. Up to Tuesday the
local board has exempted nearly a
hundred on physical grounds, seventy
two because of dependents and thirteen
as aliens.
