TI10 following arttulo In lclntion to tho ungrndptl scliools of Nobr.tskn ai' pcareil in tliu Ncbrmka Signal utb lishi'd at Fnirniouiit, Killmoro county, Nubr.iakii. It may iirovo of interest to our numerous rvadurs. "Whon wo consider that tho rural schools of our county provide elemen tary instruction for more than one half of our school population and all the formal education that the majority ot tins mill ever receive, nntl luilher, tho diversity of condition represented in this population,, it seems strange that a people so fertile: in expedients an our own should have adhered ho close ly as thoy have dono to onu typo of niral school. The typo is familiar to us all. A school composed of both sexes, ranging in study anywhcio from tho primer to tho languages, housed in a school house of but 0110 room and provided with one teacher, upon whom devolves all discipline, and instruction. Possibly tho teacher changes every term ; probably no systematic record of studies, classes, or progress is kept, nnd each teacher takes up the woik as if nothing had gono before and cuds it as if nothing wcie to follow. One reason of this 1, that in many school districts iho teacher finds as many varieties of text books as ho has pupils, and tho question that confronts him is what to do with them. Tho difficulties arising, in many of our schools, fiom a variety of text books upon the same subject, will pro bably remain as long as copyrights and a free press is in existence, unless tho State assumes tho burden of publica tion aud supplies them at a nominal cost to tho consumer. Whilo this might add a few cents to a man's lav, it would materially lessen his bill at a book store. The teacher may bo a person of ex cellent education, wise, conscientious, firm, loving and versatile; but a school may be favored in this respect ono term and the next pass into the chargo of a callow youth, a crude gill, or a man or .1 woman of inferior mind unsym pathetic nature, who, for a considera tion, makes "confusion worso confound ed" in juvenile intellects. Of super vision there is little, ot inspection less, and of standards of scholarships and tests of work none but those the teach er has wit enough to supply. Since the school board havo the powtrto say what books shall be used, to piovidea couise of Btudy, to classify and grade tho school, and contract with tho teacher, much responsibility rests upon them" The school board are tho educational, lepresentatives of tho pa trons of our t-chools and havo the power to make the schools much more effective; but if they, as such repre sentatives, lemain inactive and allow tho teacher to continuo under so many disadvantages, there will continuo to bo much unsatisfactory results for which they are, in a great measure, re sponsible. Such is tho rural school as it exists among us to-day. Somo of tho best minds of tho country have bvion fos tered by this instrumentality, some of tho noblest poweis aroused nnd tho highest aspirations kindled, but it is impossible that a high average of re sults should be attained under tho pres cut circumstances. If this bo evident upon tho survey of the shools them selves, how much more urgent appears tho demand for their better organiza tion and moro illieient conduct when wo turn our attention to what is going on in other communities. When wo consider, for instance, that in England lural schools are subjected to an in spection as thorough as that which is applied to tho city schools; that in 15el gium every country boy is trained in hawing, 111 the use ot weights and measures, and surgeons instrument!.: that in Germany and Switzerland only well fiualilied teachers are emnlovcd even in tho most obscure distiicts. Whenever tho education of the masses is attempted, tho problem chielly discussed is how to secure com- ctent teachers. It is indeed no longer nsisted that n competent teacher is tho solo retpiisito to a good school. The best teacher, it is allowed, cannot over como the effects of bad air in tho school room, unsightly premises, apathy and selfishness in the community, nnd ignorance auti obstinacy in superior officers. Experience, however, indi cates that all external conditions of efficiency aro moro easily secured when ouco their nature is understood, than well qualified teachers." Tho President's Residenco. II DOP.S NOT 1NTI1N11 TO AI1ANHON II1S CIT17.K.NaIIU 01' NUW YOIIIC. It is said at tho Whito IIouso that the story from liulfalo, alleging that tho President has given up his rest dence 111 that city, is not true. As published, Mr. Cleveland is still a pror erty owner and taxpayer in Uulfalo. lus temporary rosidcnoo in Washing' ton does not hurt his citizenship 111 Now York at all. So long as ho does not volo eomowhero else, ho has tho right to renow his privileges in Buffalo whenever ho returns totliooity. When there was uuffrago in tho District of Columbia a number of residents from tho States forfeited their citizenship claowhero by voting there.

Tricks to Bell Mines nnd Deceive the Pur chasers Oard Playing and Digging It is not strango that there is gamb ling in theso "camps," for to most of thoso engaged in it mining is simply gambling. Miny a man tolls me, "I liavo put into tho ground overy dollar I could save, but I novcr mado a dol lar from it yet. My turn will come some day." It seems no worse to them to risk everything on tho throw of a card than 011 the thrust of a spade. Uy night thoy repeat in tho saloons their occupation by day in tho mines. Gamblers in cards claim that theso speculators might as well loso their money to them as to other gamblers in stocks. It is hazard everywhere, and tho air is impregnated with speculation as with ozone. Only for tho few who havo tho capital lo purchase nil know ledge, to compass all risks, to furnish all machinery, and enduro i.ll dolays, can it become a legitlmato business. Such ones may possibly, ho as safe in this mining business as in any othor. Yet tho keenest may bo imposed, on. An old California miner told mo of an expert assayer, who had avoided every snare. IIo had tho habit of tak ing into tho mine ho was to test, bags in which ho carefully deposited tho specimens lie found, tying, labeling and sealing them, then ctrryiuc them in the cars to his own homo His re ports gained implicit belief, henco the greater desire to deceivo him. A man onoe followed him to tho train with S.'iO, and bribed tho porter of tho sleep ing car, into whoso charge tho bags had been committed, to leavo them with him for half an hour. IIo then, by means of fine metallic syringes in jected into tho bags certain solutions, chlorides, I think, of gold and silver, and returned them unopened to tho porter's custody. Tho assayer, unsus picious, tested every samplo in bulk to find tho amount of silver and gold.and mado a very sanguino report. On tho strength of this tho mine was bought of thoso whoso agent tho injector was, and placed under ohargo of tho assayar. As soon as work was begun tho latter found, with horror, that he had been imposed on. For weeks, as my inform ant told me, he drove on, with his hair standing on end, determined to striko some now lead, which should justify lim report. .At length, much lower down, he "mado a find," which exceed ed his first claim, and then ho was sat isfied. The gamblers, liko tho miners, nre not nnfreqiiently of college education from fine Eastern fnmilies. They are not wholly bad. Their plans have mis carried, their capital is gono and they aro cast on their wits for a living. Other men havo preyed on them, thoy turn nnd prey on other men. Hut my friend, who is pastor of the little church around tho corner, tells mo that for the last two years ho has had from two to twelvo gamblers at his Sunday ovening lectures. "Why don't you come to us some timo to help pay your salary?" said ono of them to him. "I never ask any ono to help pay my salary; that is a purely voluntary matter." A few days later it was found that the little church needed repairs. "Wo want new paper and fixtures," ho said to tho gambler. "What can you do for us V "Draw tip a paper and leavo it with me." In a short timo the pa per was returned, with $22j pledged liy tho gamblers and $2.r added by a .Tow. When all had been paid in and tho improvements were mado tho con tributors turned out to seo their worlc. They may havo bnilded better than they knew. Salem (Jiws.) Gazette. Benedict and tho Contractors. Tho PiUsburg Dispatch says that Mr. Uenedict, the now Publio Printer, has already got into a row with somo of tho paper contractors. Heretofore whenever thoy had bad paper rejected, they would go to Washington, obtain hearing, uso all t heir lnlluenco in va- lotta ways, and ottcn end in getting their paper through, when it obviously id not como up to tho requirements. Mr. Benedict is determined to put a top to this, Recently, according to lie Dispatch, several hundred reams f book paper were passed by tho office board, but attention was called to tho fact that it was not up to tho grado. An allowanco of threo points made tor varying thickness or weight and this particular batch ran about nine points. Tho Publio Printer mado a personal examination uid ro- octet! tho whole. Ho ordered it im mediately shippod back to tho con tractors, and ordered a fresh lot clso where. I'lie contractors were notified 'of the rciection. In accordance with their custom ono of them immediately camo to town and called on Mr. Benedict. IIo said ho was sorry tho paper was not up to tho required grade, but tho loot was they had had somo troublo with their boilers, aud tho paper had run unusually uneven. Mr. Benedict BMd ho thought it had, but ho had not timo to talk about it now. Tho con tractor blankly inquired if ho could .in . .11 not uo nuowcii 10 piCK out, wnai wouiu pass and average things up. Jlr. Benedict said ho had held court on that paper yesterday and had decided the caso and ordored tho paper return ed. "Why, you havo not sent it back " exclaimed the astonished. "I ordered it shipped bacU. If it has not gono 1 11 disohargo tho man whoso business it was to do it," and ho pressed a button. A clerk nppeared. ".nr.

When your paper (ioe not como up to inu contract it will bo rejected, and when it is reject' ed you need not bother about coming down to Washington, it stays reject ed," This is refreshing, oven if it is vigor ous, it certainly is about timo that decided stand was taken against tho men who imposo upon, or rather do traud tho Government in their oon tracts. In this respect, nt least, Mr. Benedict begins well. "Does your husband gel a salary for taking up tno collection in ciiurcn overy Sunday.
