George stood for a moment confounded, asking himself If some trick of a brain over-wrought had caused the thing he dreaded to take shape in black nd white Lencath his eyes. Then he strode ly to the adjoining room and threw open the door. Miss Hare Was standing at the table search- ing among her papers. She looked up anxiously as he entered. “ob, may note—thank you"—but he ignored her outstretched hand, laying the sheet open on the table before her, ahd Keeping hold of it. “what does ‘it mean!” he demanded, staring grimly down upon her. Now, everybody knows what a distressing thing itls tohay atl compositions read by a person of mpatuy OF apprecation, and per- haps it Was this Which agitated Miss Hare. Atany rate, she could not think of a serviceable lie at the monieut, and began Lo pour out assurances of hav- ing meaht no harm, and tt was only what every- body would know before the next number wasout, “Then understand that you were going to send this to the papers?” he broke in upon the confused sentences, Only to They Say. She did send iittle things sometimes. ‘There was no harm; only he must ¢ not mention It. uen you Have no authority to publish this? You have not been desired to do sor Why should you then? What do you expeet to gain by it?” ‘To his astonishment she took his question liter- ally “Perhaps halt a guinea,” she answered, and there was a pause, ‘Everad had borne much and foregone much to place his own sister above such miserable shitts as this, but he was not tuinking of that, or of her. “You have no authority, you say. How do you Know that this is true?” Ob, Fes, 1t Was true, she knew; Mr. Theakston had told her. And George sickened as he heard it. “May I ask,” he said with something like anger, ‘in What Way Miss Greville’s engagement can in- terest your readers?” ‘Oh, ot at all! If she were engaged to anybody, to hiinself, for instance, the editor Would not thai her for thé announcement.

From the St. Paul Ploneer-Press. General Francis A. Walker delivered not long ‘ago, before the school board of Boston, a practical address on the nature of ordinary instruction in the common schools, which should have a much wider circulation than it has yet received. The attack of General Walker was directed against the ordinary method of teaching arithmetic; and so successful was it that the board has reported in favor of changes which will fairly revolutionize the system of instruction hitherto In vogue. His prectical point is that, n the infancy of our sys- tem of pubile instruction, arithmetic was the study by which, almost exclusively, mental disci- pine was to be ‘attained. It was ‘not mere pro. clency in the use of mumbers that Was aimed at, but a general training of the mind 4n ability to reason was to be reached by the teaching of this fundamental. ‘Therefor complicated and dificult exerc! ‘without any relation to the practical ne of the future or the ordinary affairs of life, were intro- duced in the text-books, and there they have maintained a place while new studies have been added to the cufriculum, superseding arithmetic ina oeeure ee ements of Celt ne: The result is that the average pupil, cai ‘lon; several times as many studies as the old-taehioned boy, is exasperated and worn out by the imposi- tion of exercises for which there is now neither time nor necessity. Asa practical iliustration of what 1s meant, the Boston board reported in favor of an exclusion from the ee course, among other things, of the more dificult operations in mensuration, of compound Interest, cube root and its applications, equation of payments, exchan; compound proportion, compound partnership, and the metric system. There is no doubt that, to a@ great extent, Gen. Walker is right. Take, forexample, one of the points which he criti- elses severély—the exercises in complex. frac tions, The boy who 1s confront with a congregation of fractions led on top of each other, requiring inversions and multi- plications one after another, undergoes nothing more than a test of logical power. He is not helped in any poastble emergency that can arise in future life. It may be doubted if any pupil who Was not ready for a course in Jevons ever mas- tered understandingly the theory of compound proportion." Certainly he never found a chance to use his skill in practice, if he conquered a difficult Subject at the cost of weeks of effort. And as for ‘the inetric_ system, boys and girls puzzle for days and days over terms and operations which, in all Probability, they will never hear of again; and which, it they did, they could master, in maturer years, ata cost of one-tenth the time and labor originally bestowed. ‘The point 1s important be- cause the arithmetic fetish is far from being alone in our educational system. It has the company of alot of others fetishes, joined to constitute an educational polytheism which tires the mind and Wears out the bodies of our children to little or no practical put The best illustration of what is meant can be found in something which, fortunately, is just: now a matter of pene knowledge and amuse- ment. Everybody is laughing over the blunders recorded in Mark Twain's article on “English a3 She ts Taught.” This is merely a collection of the absurdities noticed by a practical teacher in years of service, But there is nothing unique about it. ‘This teacher was just about as other teachers, and her pupils were neither above nor below the average of others. Since the appearance of that article other teachers have supplemented tt by publishing other memotra, and there is not one of them who could not furnish every week, from a note book kept for that purpose, a fund ot strik- ing and ridiculous anecdotes. “These ought not only to amuse the public, but alsoto point a moral. When a boy defines “parasite” as a kind of um— brella, we see quite clearly how he is laboring With a course in the use of language too big for his little body and brain, When a girl puts the date 1492 opposite pretty nearly every promi- nent eveht in his r. she ‘is bur- ened THE 8 edt ile puseleas dave. learning, Which 1s attempted at e sacrifice of a moderate Knowledge of useful facts. In one word, the great danger in our system of public School education 18 that thoroughness shall be sacrificed to ambition, and that in the endeavor to satisfy both requirements at the same time, both these and the health of the pupil may go by the board. It 1s noted by Gen. Walker that “our tech- nical Schoois recetve puplis from the high schools, who, while they understand dificult theorems, and are masters of complicated algebraic tor- mule, make mistakes in the simplest arithmetical operations.” It 1s found, throughout Mark Twain’s Century article, that learned definitions and an- Swers To questions tn astronomy or ornitholo may be quite compatible with spelling so villain- ous that the learner could not write a decent let- ter. And a similar article in Harper's Weekly shows that a pupil who 1s expectet to know the leading facts, with corresponding dates, in the life of Julius Cesar, may be altogether tgnorant of the enormity of joining a subject in the plural with a verb in the singular. It is but a few years since the — discussion over the comparative merits of the ancient and the modern courses in college education caused the term “college fetish” to run glibly from ten thousand lf) It is now in place for the same people to consider whether there be not a far more odious common School fetish, Is there not something stran; about the fact that, with all our expenditures in the United States for common school education, an employer finds it dimcult to get a boy who can write @ grammatically formed and correctly spelled letter? Is 1t not curtous that people who have agonized over the mysteries of duodecimais until they know the thing by rote should be dumb- founded by a requirement to perfor simple opera- Uons in percentage? And is it not instructive that, in connection with these mental misfits, ‘there should break out annually, about commence- ment time, the cry that the health of the children 1s being broken down by over-application? The common school 1s the place, pre-eminently, for things that are ee It_is the place for thoroughness in the elements. There 1s a general suspicion that an investigation of its workings in most of our States and Cities would show a devo- tion to Various fetishes unmatched by any col. lege, however it may cling to the ancient order of exclusive devotion to “Latin, Greek, and mathe- matics,” ——_+e+-_____ Apprentices, CONSEQUENCE OF THEIR EXTINCTION FROM THE ‘TRADES. ‘From the St. Paul Pioneer Presa. ‘The apprentice question will not wait much longer for a hearing. The right to earn a living by honest labor is as fundamental as any right can well be. But when trades are hedged about with rules which limtt the number of apprentices, Shen the lists are complete and when the ranks of the ordinary unskilled labor are full, then the surplus boys are ordered off of the earth. ‘There 1s no place for them, and thelr only possibie chance for existence is in begging or crime.

A Goon Accovs: fo sum it up, six long years of bedridden sickness and suffering, costing 8200 per year, total $1,200, all of which was stopped by three bottles of Hop Bitters taken by my wife, who has done her own housework for a year since without the loss of & day, and I want everybody to know it for their bene- fit."—JOHN WEEKS, Butler. NEVER FORGET THIS. ‘Ifyou are sick Hop Bitters will surely aid Nature in making you well when all else fails. If you are costive or dyspeptic, or are suffering from any other of the numerous diseases of the stomach or bowels, it is your own fault if you remain ill, for Hop Bitters is a sovereign remedy in all such complaints. If you are wasting away with any form of kidney disease, stop tempting death this moment, and turn for acure to Hop Bitters. If you are nervous use Hop Fitters, If you are a frequenter, or a resident of a miasmatic district, barricade your system against the scourge of all countries—malarial, epidemic, bilious and inter- mittent fevers—by the use of Hop Bitters. If you have rough, pimply or sallow akin, bad breath, Pains and aches, and feel miscrable generally, Hop Bitters will give you fair skin, rich blood, and sweetest breath and health. ‘That poor, bedridden, invalid wife, sister, mother or daughter, can be made the picture of health with Hop Bitters, costing but a trifle. Will you let them suffer? In short they cure all diseases of the stomach, bow- els, blood, liver, nerves, kidneys, Bright's Diseuse. 81,000 will be paid for a case they will not cure or help.
