" THE CA'BBOSt ADVOCATE OFFICE.
Tho Clininplon School Teacher.
HIS PllOtllirtsslVI', 1DKA9 AND NOVEL NO
TIONS IIEOABDINU HISTORY AND
(111AMMAU.
In orb of tho townships of a nclch
borlng county tliere havo been rerently
soinn complnlnts about the Inefllclency
of a tencliei in a publlo school nnineil
Weavpr.ntid a sliott tlmo ro tho Hoaul
of Supervisors, having colltntetl soidb
facts concernliiR his methtitl of Instruc
tion, stimitioned him boforo thera, and
the President examined Weaver In re
feronco to the matter. He said :
" Mr. Weaver, th boaid Is not satis
fied entirely with your way of impart
lug Instruction to the youthful mind,
aud we called ymi before us to-day to
ascertain what the general drift of your
purpose, was on certain occasions that
have come under our notice, when you
have been giving tho boys what you
seem to have considered useful Infor
mation upon a variety of topics. For
Initance, Mr. Weaver, In teaching the
hlstoiy class, we feel compelled to tako
exception to your views when you as
sert that uuujanilti Fiankliu was shot
nt the battlu of Aglncourt, and Hint
Nebuchaduoz.ar was King of Illay,
and played the flddlo while Qucbso was
burning. You may posMbly have later
Information upon thoso topic than has
reached the rest of ns, but the com
munity Is prejudiced ngalnst these
views, nnd they make you ttnpopulnr."
" I don't recollect saying that," said
Weaver, " but Just as likely in not I
may have said Aglncourt Instead of
Waterloo and got Nebuchadnezzar
mixed up with William the Conqueror.
I was sick that day anil my mind didn't
work right, somehow."
" And besides, Mr. Weaver, we feel
as If wo ought to direct your attention
to the fact that you were wrong when
you Instructed the class In grammar
that Martin Van lUiten is an adverb
and that the word ' hungry' is n per
sonal pronoun. These mistakes aro
serlhus enough, but when you Hogged
a scholar because he insisted that " bu
colic' was not an IntiaiiKitlve preposi
tion and that ltdid not represent a spe
cies ii f stomach nclie, It scfliiis to tho
board that you wvlit a little to far."
" It wasn't for that I whipped lilm,"
saltl Mr. Weaver j " it was because he
put a pin In my chair. I was only In
tun about thrive things. I knew well
enough Martin Van llntcn was an ad
jective." " Well, sir, Hint may nr may not be
a satisfactory explanation Hut the
board would be glad to know your nu
tliority lor the statement that Uarlb.tlili
was a Saracen who fi.ught ngaln-t the
crutRilere, and that he rec-ived his
linniH from the fact that he war bald
headed ? You seo the patents of the
chililiun complain about this kind of
tiling. They don't like It. They say
It poisons the minds of the llttlo ones,
and it makes parents mad."
" I'm sorry, ' replied Weaver, " hut
) hold those views conscientiously, and
I'm going to stick to them.'
" Hut such a theory will hardly avail
to explain why you asserted to the class
In arithmetic that vulgar fractions wero
so called because only blackguards uie
them, and why you made Mr. Coyle's
boy go down foot for saying that there
was only two halves to an apple. The
community is Indignant at these things,
sir, and when they learn that you
taught those llttlo Innocents to spell
' dog d-a-w-g, I am seriously afraid
that public sentiment will be strongly
In favor of having recourse to violent
measures. Now you certainlv know
that there is ho respectable, authority
for spelling tho name of that useful ani
mal d-a-w-g. It Is preposterous. It
shows a want of a proper sense of the
fitness of things, now don't it ?"
" Well, maybe it doos. Hut I'll tell
you. Everybody spells dog the other
way, d-a-u-g, anil it struck me that tt'd
be a good Idea for my scholars to start
out on a fresh, original basis ; to get up
something new and startling and re
freshing In the dog line.and so I threw
d-a-w-g out as a kind of an idea -a
mere suggestion, you understand, with
out Intending to insist on it. Hut I
don't mind coming down on that. I'll
glvo It to them tho old way if you Insist
on It."
" Very well, Rut while wo are go
ing over the matter permit me to urge
that you could have had no respectable
authority for telling th school that
Omaha is the capital of Mexico, and
that the. Revolutionary war was begun
In 1812; and still less is there any war
rant for your assertion to the pupils in
history that tho middle name of Gene
ral Washington was MeGratb George
McGrath Washington This sort of
education of the infant mind attracts
attention aud excites remark. - It brings
ridicule upon the sacred name of the
Father of his Country, and leads the
children astray respecting the geograph
ical location of Omaha. It Is wrong,
sir all wrong ; and tho board can't put
up with it."
" Well, tho way I me to do that, I
s'pose," said Weaver, " was tiat 1
used to know a man named George
WaabiogtoD MeGratb, and I must have
confused him with tha other one. And
as for Omaha I'll bet you it 1 In Mexi
co, or Slam, or Siberia, or some of them
places ; now, Isn't It ?"
" Tho board, Mr. Weaver, ro not
think It worth while to pursue this sub
ject further, but, while we are here, 1
may as well mention that In that poem
which you wroto as an example for the

rather too much levity fur such a t-erl-otts

It U not solely that you make 'Mazoppn,'

causo 'frolic' to rhjinfl with 'colic,' and

bring In ' heifer' as a rhymo for
'zephyr' the board feels that you have
probably gono a little too far, and that
your usefulness as n guide and Instruc

think, Mr. Weaver, that we had bettor
ask you to resign. And if you will
permit me, I would offer you, In a
friendly spirit, the suggestion that If
you can procure permanent employ

Phila. Bulletin.
AN ESSAY ON MULES.
Tho muio Is the most unhealthy ani
mal in the world unhealthy to have
around.
Tli3 very atmosphere about n mule is
dangerous to Inhabit.
Wo have money to bet that when na
tore made the first mule somu one got
hurt.
A mule Is always "at .home,'' as you
will find by calling upon otio of the
" critters."
He is continually possessed of a yearn
ing deslru to stretch himself--especially
his hind legs.
We have known this yearning to
make trouble In several families.
Any wound which a mule happens to
glvo you may very properly be called
nu a-bray-sure.
He careful that you are never ''wound
up" In this way.
A mule Is a great prophet.
lie can prophesy a man's sudden Ill
ness oi death twenty feet off.
This itakes lilm very profitable todoc
tors and undertakers.
Ho is also possessed of great heeling
power.
The saying that a bright Jowel lies
deeply burled In the end of a mule's
tall Is a decluslon and a sniro.
Mule meat may bo good diet for a
Frenchman but not for beef-raising
Yankees.
The less mule meet a man has the
Detter.
The only way that we could be per
suaded to eat a mule would be to beat
hint.
Likewise, the only way wo could bu
got to ride a mule would be to de-ride
him.
And the darkey was right when he
saltl that the only way to "lub" a mule
wa to "c-lub" 111 in.
No man ever ets a mule kick him.
The man is usually seized with ob
scured vision Just at that juncture
Wo have seen a man get up after ft
mule had kicked lilm (very rarely
though) nnd swear with botli hands up
lifted that lie didn't bullevo the animal
had stirred a peg he looked sounmov
able and unconcerned.
A mule Is a very "quick" animal.
Great quantities of his substance lie
hidden away beneath his toe calks.
Caution Tako our word for this.and
don't go hunting around In that vicini
ty. You can't weigh a mule with any
sort of accuracy.
An ouiico of mulo weighs more than
a pound of any lire stock.
And no matter what his condition
may be a mulo Is bound to kick tho
beam.
The only besm which a mulo cannot
kick Is a sunbeam.
Hut he can knock the beam out of a
man's eye with greater alacrity than
ntiy other influence.
In this respect ho la a regular mot-or
power.
As a great explorer tho mulo Is equal
to Stanley.
When he goes exploring for a man he
always finds him.
Tho safest place to stand by a mule
does not exist.
lie is the dyn unite fiend of the four,
legged kingdom
We have often wished that some
" bunko" man would try to "rope in"
a mule.
He would never bo worth a row'plns
again.
The mulo Is a very headstrong beast.
He Is likewise exceedingly heel
strong. The mule but blame a mule, any
way I

The following dispatch, dated Chey
