They doa large business, which draws heavily from_ the adjoin- ing towns, and read Tar Bee. There is one natural curiosily found here. Tt is claimed that one trades- man of the burg, believes that the earth is not round, and has for some time been trying to demonstrate that it is without motion, much to the amusement of the beys who watch _ his _ system of “Sighting the North Star”, ranged in line with two tack nails driven into the door post. We entered his dark, loomy and silent store, and feund fiim sitting by the steve, all absorbed in the sweet music of a mouth organ, which he reluctantly neglected long enough to inform us that ‘‘all news- pers were useless to him, and that K: was too poor to take one if ho de- sired to do 8o,” and then quietly re- signed himself to the siren music of the mouth organ.

The present building is intended as a wing to the main building, and it is a wonder that human inginuity can invent ways of supplying the demands of the poor as well as it is done with the small ap- propriation and the crowded condi- tion of the building. Laying aside the question of steam-heater, laundry, other much needed improvements, more room is needed and, it seems to us, demanded, that the classifi- cation might be improved. As it is, children from all varieties of families must here mingle more than they should; and the bo{, who cannot speak a word intelligently ex- cept to swear, must bring that evil into the presence of the child born and reared tenderly by some faithful and trasting 1urrtfi’ur; and the child born of abnormal passions must re- quire untiring care and continual watching, home. new sleeping apartments, and many | wor whon allowed to mingle with boys and girls in any school or An attempt has been made to settlc the Southern Utes upon certain rivers in southern Colorado, near the line of New Mexico, but for various reasons his has not been regarded as desira ble, owing partly to a lack of agricul- ural lands, The commission imends the ns with the The grand consequontly ign of these Utah government throngh this commission i to break up the wandering habits and tribal relations, and to settle the Indians on farms held in severalty, so they may gradually become citizens purpose of th In this work the commission felt agsured of complete success, At first the Ute Indiaus would hear nothing of houses, farms and schools, but length in all the bands many of the head men and chiefs have become hearty triends of the new departure, The Growth of O'Neill City.

What a change in seven years, The assessed valuation of the county last June was about $716,000, an increase over the previous year of nearly 100, and I believe the assessed valuation next year will be over double what it was this, or nearly one million dollars, on account of of its rapid settlement and miles of railroad built this season.

The object of this institu- tion is to provide special means of im- provement to that class of children so deficient in mind, or afflicted with such marked peculiarities, of intellect as to depriyo them of the beneflts and privileges of other educational insti- tutions and ordinary methods of in- atruction. The education imparted to this olass, includes not only tho simple elements of instruction of our common schools, where that is practicable, bub embraces a ccurse of training in the more practical matters of every-day life, the cultivation of habits of clean- liness, propriety and self-reliance, and to develop and enlarge their capacity for useful oceupations, Idiots and imbeciles aro feeble in_body as well as mind, Their goit and voluntary movements are gonerally awkward and slow, and their special senses inactive and undeveloped, and are wanting in nerv- ous and muscular power. Physical training and development, therefore, are essential, in order that their men- tal improvement is made permanent, hence the importanceand necessity of mnnaatic and. calisthenic exercises in their treatment. The very foeble power of attention must be cultivated and increased by the most attractive means, The spec- ial senses must be trained and edu- cated, vicious habits are to be correct- ed, and the iden of obedience and moral obligation must be planted and nourished; and all this must be ac- complished by special means adapted to the individual, as well as the gen- eral treatment peculiar to such insti- tutions; and it is only in such asylums, directed and arranged for the accom- plishinents of these special objects that they can receive such benofit, We find here children and young people, graded all the way from the “‘dammy” in our commom schools to the idiot, classified and at work, and we find the boy, who could not count or repeat a short sentence or stand with ordinary composure, can now put to shame some of our heed- less, neglected boys, who have been spoiled by their smarincss, The school is a very important fea- ture of the institution. Here we find a choice combination of kindergarten training, calisthenics, and mental gymnastics, offered 5o kindly, intro- duced everywhore 8o artfully, and in- sisted upon so winningly, that every. where we find order, chverfulness, an interest in the task; and the most member that many of theso children inherit diseasvs, und the physician often finds his wits puzzled to handle these safely, under the anx- ious and undivided attention of the mother, but what can be accom- plished'in theso crowded rooms? Tho aggrogate expense of this insti- tution, including teachers salarios, amounts to about twelvo dollars for cach child; while most of the institu- tutions of this kind reach sixteon or twenty dollars for each child, cach year, and usually the produce of a good farm besides. Such fattention has the success of this enterprice awakened, that the national associn- tion of officers of similar and kindred institutions in the United States and Canada are to hold their next mecting here in June to satisfy their desire to learn of the ways and mcans of ac- complishing thése grand rosults, Miss Jennio Van Dorn, the principal teacher in the school, has been in her responsiblo position from tho apening of the asylum, and is a lady of largo experience in schools of this kind, thoroughly qualificd and accoms plished, and is & master spirit in the school. Miss Lmoy Russell and Miss Laura Baker havebeen with this school for sowe time, and aro filling their positions nobly. Miss Phwbe Coffin and Miss Mattie McLean. come fresh to the work with hearts full of sympathy with all the dutics they so nobly discharge, while Mrs. 8. A. Archibold, as matron, has her hands and heart taxed every day, to mother all those dear children, and look after their child-ways, their joy and sor- rows, and supply their wants. As a pedagogue for years, we have visited a great many schools, and scen human nature in many forms, and to us, the grandest triumph in this insti- tution lies in the complete harmony of all its workings. That entire confi- dence that overy child has in the teachers, and the perfect understand- ing botween teachers, the unbounded praise awarded by the parents, and the reciprocal cheorfulness, obedience, and family co-operation that seems to per- vade the whole institution mnarking it State, E, Nowrn UNtoN “Sna Crevenaxn, (., Feb, H, H. Waryen & O Frinds failed complete confidence in the teachers and superintendent, “The kind-hearted people who are spending the best part of the lives in is noble work, have great responsi- bilities resting on them, and quite often are placed m vory lrying cir- cumstances, requiring great patience, and the utmost self-command, while at tho same time it is necessary to ess & native polish of manners, an born dignity and grace in every movement, and an all pervading spirit of Christian earnestness and love for the noble work to which they have given themselves, Very many of the boys and girls who have every advantage, seemingly, in our common schools, would blush with shame to see these poor, deform- ed and simple-minded children going through their exercises cheerfully, promptly, and with all the enthusiasm and pride of the ‘‘smartest boy in school” who knows he can *‘spell the school down;” and the careless self- important teacher who has attained notoriety as a ‘‘machine” teacher, might well take lessons from these patient, quiet, Christian young ladics who are helping these children to work out the problem of life and in- mortality, and demonstrating to the thoughtless world the wonderful power and mysterious influence that culti- vated and refined Christian ladies may :‘miu over vicious and idiotic pupils any age. b o decticod-1w Jaues 8.
