Resolutions of Respect, At a meeting of the Pastor's Union recently held the following minutes were unanimously adopted : Inasmuc'i as sinc e our last meeting the Rev. P. A. Heilman has, on ac count of impaired health, severed his connection with St. Matthew's Luther an Church of Bloomsburg, and re moved to Philadelphia, this Associa tion desires to place on record its high appreciation of his Christian character and uniformly courteous manners. He was one of the original mem bers of the Taster's LJnion, and always took a deep interest in its work, ex tending it his hearty support and earnest co-operation. His broad Catholic views and sympathetic na ture, as well a", prudent counsel?, made him a valuable assistant in every good work. The Association hereby extends to him its sincerest sympathy in his en forced retirement from the active pas torate, hoping it will be but tempor ary. To this end, we earnestly be seech the Great Head of the Church to restore him to a full state of health, that he may be enabled to devote himself to the beloved work of t! . ministry in the pastoral office : in which he has already shown him self a man approved of God, a work man not needing to be ashamed in rightly dividing the word of truth we commend him, and his family to the guardian care of the Heavenly Father assured that He who doeth all things well, will cause all things to work to gether for his spiritual and temporal welfare.

A SHOW TRULY MORAL- "The Great John Robinson and Franklin Bros.' Enormous Shows Combined" are announced to appear at Bloomsburg in all their vast entire ty, on Monday June 1st and for one day only, giving two complete per formances, afternoon and evening. All of our exchanges speak in the highest terms of this great amusement enterprise, and the many "tough hangers-on," which are so frequently found with large shows, arc made conspicu ous by their absence. There is not a game of chance of any kind permitted on or around the grounds. All the at taches arc gentlemen, and there is not a loud or profane word spoken. It is a wonderful sight to see the wonderful "horseless carriage" in trial tests of speed at every performance and in the great double parade. The three rings and elevated stages are all going at one time, with entirely differ ent acts. Performers picked from the best the world affords, and there is more than four score of them, whose combined salaries would more than equal twice over the entire expense of the every day circus. The daily free street parade is one mass of glittering magnificence, containing "scenes from all nations," numerous open dens of rare wild beasts, twelve kinds of music, herds of elephants and camels, and the finest imported horses ever seen with a tented amusement enter prise. The coming of this, the world's biggest amusement, is cause for a "regal" holiday in every city it visits, and it is worth coming a day's travel to see. THE TEACHING OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE CONCLUDED. The committee appointed by the Overseers of Harvard College to ex amine into the cause of the failure of applicants for the freshman class to pass the examination in English, re ported, after a careful investigation, that " in the system of instruction as now pursued in the preparatory schools, as developed in the material examined by them, only here and there the trace of an idea can be found that is to enable those taught to write the English language easily and well, so that the writer may be able to use it as a tool familiar to his hand, as speech to his tongue, in the further process of education and in the subsequent, pursuits of life. The Committee cannot speak of other de partmcnts,but in the matter of English Composition the scholar in the pre paratory schools receives, indeed, nothing which can with any propriety be called an education t he is trained to pass a given examination that and nothing more. The present system, therefore, is radically defective. The difficulty also, so far as your commit tee is advised, is by no means confin ed to the advanced schools which fit for college. permeates in another form the whole American grammar school system (Italics are mine) " . " The work of theme (essay) writing aught to be pronounced a part of the elementary training, and as such rele gated to the preparatory schools. The student who presents himself for admission to the College, and who cannot write the English language with facility and correctness, should be sent back to the ' preparatory school to remain there until he can so write it. " The Committee recommend that steps be taken in relation to the standard of English Composition re quired for admission to our colleges which shall compel the preparatory schools to change their present sys tem, and raise their standard to the required point." The meamng of the foregoing is too clear to be misunderstood. It also accords with reason and with the best educational thought of the day. Such requirements will, of course, demand better teaching than now prevails and better qualified teachers, but the time surely has come when no others should be licensed to teach. Inno cent children have already too long been imposed upon. Practical English, in other words, the ability to write the English language with ease and correctness, is not a difficult thing to teach for those who themselves have been pro perly taught it, but it must be com menced early and taught throughout a pupil's period of school life. At first only errors of speech should be cor rected; afterwards, as soon as the pu pils can use the pen or pencil, written work should be required of them. For this purpose all their daily lessons furnish ample material. I Grammar, so far as it is a help to ' expression, should receive attention along with language, wherever it can with advantage to the pupils be taught. When the pupils' minds have at tained sufficient power to do so, regu lar essay work should be commenced, and in connection with it, wherever the opportunity is afforded, not only such instruction in grammar as will prove helpful should be given, but the . elementary principles of rhetoric-1 taught The forcolne suggestions on teach ing English re in acco-d with those of The Committee of Ten appointed by the National Educational Associa tion in 1C92. The lollowing is the concluding paragraph v( the report of the committee : " With regard to the study of formal gramn'.ar the confer ence wishes to lay stress on three points: (1) a studert may be taught to speak and write good English with out receiving nriy special instruction in formal grammar ', (2) the study of formal grammar is valuable as train ing in thought, but has only an indi rect bearing on the art of writing and speaking; and (3) the teaching of formal grammar should ue as far as possible incidental and should be brought into close connection with the pupils work in reading and com position. These principles explain the considerable reduction recom mended by the conference in the amount of time allowed to this study." William Noeti.ing. SALES. II. W. Shade, administrator of Mary J.
