A SeHBible Platform..
General Butler believes that free trade
i3 best for the country, but that at pres
ent it is impracticable. In other words
the theory is excellent out the practice
impossible. It is a very good platform
for a national politician to adopt and for
u national party to proclaim. It happens
to suit this case very well. It is about
the only platform upon the question of
tariff and free trade upon which a na
tional party can be harmonized. A free
trade party and a tariff party must both
be sectional, because people are guided
in their decision as to which policy is
best for the country by their determina
tion as to which is best for themselves ;
and we find that manufacturing districts
always favor a protective tariff, while
commercial sections clamor for free
trade. It will always be so, and any
party that undertakes to plant its adher
ents upon one side or the other will find
itself localized in its strength.
The great parties have not been treat
ing this question very honestly. They
have not said that it is one upon which
they refuse to take a position on either
side, but they have essayed to put their
party in sympathy with the strength of
sentiment in the distriot in which they
were working. In the last national
convention, it is true, that Watterson,
of Kentucky, who happened to be chair
man of the committee on resolutions and
who lias free trade as one of the ques
tions on which he is more or less crazy,
succeeded in putting a call in the na
tional -platform for a tariff for revenue
only. It did the party a great deal of
harm, because it was a false declaration.
The party as a national party does not
believe in that doctrine. The party
in Kentucky dees ; iu Pennsyl
vania it does not. The declara
tion of the national platform
lias been freely repudiated since
wherever it is not in accord with
democratic sentiment. It will always
be thus repudiated. So would a decla
tiou in favor of a protective tariff be re
jected by the Democrats in the states
where tho people think that their inter
ests demand a tariff for revenue only.
It is sheer folly to pretend that the
Democratic party in the nation can at
present be harmonized en a declaration
for either free trade or protection. Some
time in the future we believe it maybe.
The interests of the country are steadily
advancing towards the free trade point.
Whenever the manufacturing industry
becomes such thatitneeds to seek to sup
ply other nations to keep it busy, the
hour of free trade will have struck,
for it will be the hour when tho interests
of tho whole country demand it.
Meanwhile Democrats must agree to
disagree. Tho party lines cannot be
drawn on this question, because
the party members are not agreed
upon it. Free trade or tariff is not a
test of Democracy. The party is based
upon other and more vital issues, which
must be subordinated to our purpose to
preserve tho integrity of the Democratic
party.
We observe, with regret, that there is
an idea to force it obnoxiously upon the
party, as the test upon which its candi
date for speaker of the next House will
be chosen. Already a year in advance
of the selection, Mr. Randall of Penn
sylvania, and Mr. Carlisle, of Kentucky,
are announced -as the opposing candi
dates for the speakership. One repre
sents a state in which the Democratic
sentiment is for free trade, and the other
one in which that sentiment demands a
fair protection for its great industries.
It is right for these states to differ, as
their interests differ ; but it is not right
for their representatives to decide their
vote for a Democratic candidate for
speaker of the Blouse upon this difference,
unless it is right to make the differ
ence a test of Democracy. It is no such
test now, and it will never do to make
it one. The party should not be arrayed
against itself upon the question in the
selection of a speaker. Both Mr. llan
dalland Mr. Carlisle are undoubtedly
lit for tho office ; and the representatives
should decide between them according
to their ideas of their superior fitness or
according to their personal predilections;
not safely accordiug to their views upon
a question of political economy, which is
not one upon which Democrats are
united.
There is no difficulty at all in pro
claiming thi3 division ; there is none in
admitting it to exist in a political party
which is built upon other and greater
political foundations. The question
of tariff is a great economical one
undoubtedly, but its decision is not
vital to the existence of a free and
prosperous Democracy. We can safely
agree to disagree upon it. Nature de
mands that we shall disagree, because
nature has made the interests of Ken
tucky and Pennsylvania to differ.
Yet we are in a common country,
which must be kept united and harmo
nious, and which must have a united
and harmonious party governing it that
is to be found in its strength in every
section of it. It is far more essential to
our national prosperity that its political
parties should not be sectional than it i3
that they should be iu accord upon the
question of free trade. Let us agree
upon this to disagree ; or to embrace it
theoretically, and reject it practically, as
Ben Butler does.
The Democratic party of Pennsylva
nia won its victory last week, elected a
a governor, gained senators and carried
the lower House on a platform which
pledges it to " an honest, just and true
apportionment." It owes it to the com
monwealth and itself to make this. In
casting the eye over Republican gerry
manders it is difficult to see a worse one
than exists in the present division of
Lancaster into wards. At present the
wards are all too large for single voting
precincts, and for this purpose, at least,
there should be a division. But the ine
quality of councilmanic representation
is too flagrant to remain as it is. The
First ward has four common council
men, and tho Eighth' with 50 per cent.
more population and voters, has only
three representatives in common coui
cil. An "honest, just and. true appor
tionment" demands relief from" this
gerrymander. ' ' -
The few renegades who left the Demo
cratic camp for tho first time this year to
go wool-gathering in Republican herds
got terribly shorn.
Reviewing: last week's battle a Repub
lican contemporary asks : '' Where were
the young men ? " The obvious answer
is: "Voting the Democratic ticket, the
best of them."
TnF.nE was an unfortunate young man
who turned from tho party of his faith
and his father's this year because " the
d d Democrats never win." Ho should
put his hair in mourning colors.
The Philadelphia Press thinks Demo,
cratic newspapers should " straighten out
their record" so as to show tho election of
Longenccker, Rep., over Reynolds, Dam.,
in the Bcdford-Somerset-Fulton senatorial
district. Meantirao the Press will do well
to straighten out its record and confess
that it was doing some straight Blaine
lying when it claimed tho election of
Bosler in the Cumberland Adams district.
Now that the contest is over, tho une
quivocal endorsement of Pattison as gov
ernor and the universal unanimity among
leading Republican journals of his fitness
for the position are subjeots for congratu
lation to the Democracy. In the popular
and well-grounded belief in his iutcntions
as honest, in the assurance that ho will ex
erciso his appointing power with justice
and impartiality,and iu the firm conviction
that ho will reduce unnecessary expenses,
guard the public credit and abolish tho
sinecures that so plentifully exist in tho
state government, can easily be detected
tho reasons which call forth the unstinted
ftvor of Hie governor-elect's opponents.
Mil
says :
Arthur's solo organ in New York
" The Republican party is in a bad,
almost despsratc condition, and it
acid
would ba the height of foolishness t'j dony
it. Tho men who put it where itis can
not save it. Blaine and his tools have
gone in too far to bring it back, even if
they would bo permitted to They have
got to take their hands oft". Tiioy cannot
gciide and direct affairs cither in Pennsyl
vania or New York. The ouly safe course
to pursue, then tho only thing that will
rcnove doubt of Democratic success two
years hence will bo to raako a clean
sweep of everything and everybody con
nected, directly or inrtirostlv. with
Blaine."
Ci,.yu. Bull, whom many supposo to bo
a man, but who isn't, beiug a school
marm of Jersey City, thus writes of tho
" Jersey Lilly " : ' " Suo is a large
jointed woman ; with big hands, and her
elbows aro larger than the parts of her
arms betweon them and the shoulders, as
was plainly disclosed by tho tight sleeves
of her costumes. I fancied that she was
about seven-eighths bone, and when she
smiled, with her extensive mouth and
white teeth, tho unpleasant thought camo
tome that sho was exposing tho whole
front of her skull, which might any miu
ute drop out, leaving her head a shapeless
lot of hair and skiu. Having expressed
that honid idea, I must not fail to do the
woman justice by saying that, as an en
tirety, sho is about as wholesome,
healthy, clean-looking a creature as ono
would wish to see."

Loses tier lteasoii.
The train that arrived in Allcntown
from Reading at noon on Monday had
among tho passengers a young, well
dressed lady. On the train it was noticed
sho behaved strangely. No sooner had
she alighted than it became apparent that
sho was deranged. Sho was greatly ex
cited, and her conversation with railroad
officials confirmed tho belief that she was
mentally unbalanced. A. W. Lee, the
station agent, had her taken into the
ladies' room and carefully watched. Chief
of Polico Good was notified and he
had her taken to tho Clack Bear
hotel. Sho had forty-threo dollars on
his person and wore valuablo jewelry. She
had the appearauco of belonging to a good
family. Dr. Slough was called in, and
after ho had pre&cribcd for l.crsh-j became
calmer. She said her name v;:is Lizzie
Hooter, and that her stepfather, Frank
Early, resided at Eighteenth and Wa&h
ington street, Scranton. A telegram to
tho chief of polico of Scranton brought nil
answer from that official that-no one by
thenamo of Early resided at tho place
inaicatea. Later in the day sho said her
home was at Hydo Park, a suberb of
Scranton, and a telegram was sent to that
place. An answer came saying that she
had given tho right name and place, and
a brother and sister would tako her .home.
She became more violet raved continually,
and completely lost her reason. During
ono of her more lucid moment she re
marked to a gentleman that she had gono
to Reading in obedience to tho request -of
a man named William Hartman, who
promised to meet her flfcthe Keystone
house. Prom a bundle of letters in her
possession it appears that sho was engaged
to Hartman aud that a day for tho mar
riago had been fixed. It scorns that lm
did not meet her. though she waited three
days for him. Realizing finally that lie
had discarded her, she left Reading to re
turn to her homo. The cruel disappoint
ment of her lover was a severe blow, anil
uwiwhqb gare way under the strain.
Her brother and sister arrived and took
tne unfortunate lady home.

Last night the Democrats of Lancaster
city had their walk-around iu celebration
of the recent sweeping Democratic vic
tories in the oity, stato aud nation. Tho
air was keen, the streets were muddy and
the routo was necessarily long, in order to
give each of the nine wards a good show
at the spectacle. Nothimr daunted bv
these disadvantages, however, the zealous
members of tho party turned out iu force,
and graybeards, who had waited for moro
than a score of years for the day of politi
cal deliverance, touched elbows with tho
beardless voter "on age" and kept step
to tho music of Democraticjubilation.
The Hue was formed at North Queen
aud Orange, amid great enthusiasm and
to tho stirring sounds of music and burst
ing rockots. The sidewalks and streets
were thronged, and at a few minutes after
eight the procession moved in the follow
ing order :

Somo Special Features.
Owing to the lack of torches tho lino
was not as brilliant in -somo parts as it
might have been, but the blazo of lire
works, bon tires and tho illumination of
residences and places of business along
the route shed their light upon the lino
sufficiently to make conspicuous tho more
picturesque features of tho display.
Among theso ono of the most striking was
tho device rigged up by Mr. Henry F.
Hartman, the popular linio burner of East
Lampeter. It cousistcd of his team draw
ing a wagon on which were a party of men
engaged in drilling a rock, and it attracted
a good deal of attention and applause.

Ox is Not Gored." Nearly every division
of the line carried banners with a great
variety of comical and suggestive mottoes
such as "40,000 Majority," "After
1 wenty Years Absence Wo havo Como to
Stay." Thero woro many gaily decorated
vehicles with men riding in them, -and
groups of merry maskers. Tho Seventh
ward banner had a representation of tho
' cooked coon," and the Ninth ward
among its various devices carried a live
rooster and an opossum, looso on top of
the banner, labelled "They Had No
Coon."
Tho lino of march was as follows :
Down North Queen to Center
Square, to South Queen, to Middle
to E. King, to Shippeu, to Orange, to
Duke, to James, to Mulberry, to Walnut,
to Prince, to Orange, to Mary, to W.
King, to Dorwart, to Manor, to W. King,
to Centre Square, to E. King.to Marshall,
countermarch to Lime, theuco to tho resi
dence of W. U. Hensel, esq., No. 42 North
Linio street aud dismiss.
The llliiniiuaUoiis.
As will bo seen it was a very long route,
involving the marching by most of the
organizations of about six miles through
muddy streets and iu some places over
freshly macadamized highways and a
great deal of up and down hill work ; so
that by tho time of tho countermarch tho
lino was well thinned out. The first of it
was halted at Mr Hcnscl's houso and tho
Young Men's club with the Ironvillo band
tendered him a serenade. Later tho
Ninth ward club and its baud also sere
naded him, and in rcponso to calls, the
state chairman, who had marched over the
routo iu tho ranks of his (tho Second)
ward, appeared at his front door and made
a brief speech of congratulation to tho
Lancaster Democracy and of thanks for
their uniform courtesy to him.
The illumination of tho city was very
general ; Democratic homes wero lighted
from cellar to attic, tho blinds raised and
tho windows, doors and interiors decorated
with flags, evergreens, 'inscriptions and
portraits of the governor elect. It was
wonderful in how many places the
face of Mr. Pattison was displayed. Of
public buildings the Intelligekcki;
office was conspicuous with Hues of lan
terns around every story ; Goo. Wall's,
Wacker's and John Pontz's aud other sa
loons were brilliant, as well as a number
of other business piatvs. Aiuoug the more
imposing aud prominent lesidences of tho
city that of S. II. Reynolds,esq., was hand
somely aud tastetully decorated and
made a striking appcaranco ; also those of
A. J. Stcinmau, esq., and Mrs. Kollcy,
Mr. G. N. Reynolds, P. A. Metzger, R.
H. Brubakcr, Ncwlou Lightncr, W.
W. Brown, H. E. Slayniaker, Mrs.
Reilly, S. P. Eby, U. B. Swarr, H. E.
Leamau and mauy others in tho interior
of the city. But tho most effective and
interesting illuminations wero iu some of
tho smaller houses, where live Democrats
of humbler means but of equal fervor and
earnestuess. On Middle, Dorwart and
Manor stieets especially there wero solid
blocks, iu which not a dark window was
to bo seen. Rows of blazing caudles
mado a most brilliant effect, heightened
by wreaths, mottoes, portraits, flags and
unique devices of every sort. As the
parado moved past these tho enthu
siasm of the clubs was unbounded,
aud cheer after cheer from tho ranks sa
luted tho occupants of tho houses. On
the front of tho houso of Geo. Pontz, tho
campaign bard, were a number of blaziug
torches, which lighted up tho whole
square. Hundreds of houses testified by
their display tho political sentiments of
tho peoplo who lived iu them and their re
joicings in Democratic victory.
The wholo affair passed off without un
pleasant incident or disorder, aud tho gen
eral decorum which prevailed was ob
served with pleasure by good citizens of
all parties. M. Brosius, esq., defeated
Republican candidato for congressman-at-large,
viewed tho procession from his
front door and was saluted with cheers of
good will to which ho gracefully bowed
acknowledgment.
SEW TICKETS.
IIow the Pennsylvania Koad Will Ilead
on
Ticket Scalpers.
The Pennsylvania railroad company aro
adopting a new stylo of through tickets,
which it is thought will prevent them be
ing transferred and will head off tho
scalpers. They are entirely different from
those now in use, having the name of tho
purchaser written on tho back instead of
being stamped with tho customary seal of
the company. The dato of the salo will
bo punched directly over "the signature,
which will prevent tho erasing of both
name and stamp from the ticket. It is
the intention to gradually supersede the
present style of tickets by this new style,
as the company have been troubled con
sidnrably by tho sale of through tickets by
li.Iivt fcalncrs.
TEACHERS' INSTITUTE,

interesting and Instructive AddrejgcM on
Various Topics Delivered Before the
Teachers Permanent Certllioate.
Tuesday Afternoon. Institute opened
with Twickenham Ferry " and " Good
Night " sung by tho audience, after which
Prof. Heiges was introduced, and he
spoke twenty minutes on tho subject of
' Rapid Calculation." Ho said that ad
dition constitutes the basis of all arithme
tic, and in order to teach children bow
to add by object ho mado tho suggestion
that teachers take an ordinary slate frame
and by mcaus of beaus strung upon wires
or threads aud ruu through tho framo
they can improvise a very effective
" arithmoluian "I that will unable them
to count very easily, and an
swer tho samo purposo as the
numeral frames sold at, tho bookstores.
The proper way to begin to teach addition
is by single columns. It is then a very
ready step to teach them to read double
figures by merely telling-thcm of tho little
connecting phrase "ty, " as for iustance a
4 placed before a 5 is kuowu as 4 ty 5, aud
such exceptions to tho rule as aro furnish
ed by " twenty," "thirty" and "fifty"
can be impressed upon young pupils by
special drill. Iu tbo " t:cus " tho samo
principle can be applied. In primary schools
it is necessary that thero shall bo moro of
art than of science. Teach tho littlo peo
plo tho '' how " of a thing .before you
try to teach them tho " why." Tho lect
urer said that it is not necessary to lake
the children way up among the thousands
and millions and billions and trillions ;
teach them tho tens and units first, bocauso
they rarely need to go higher than the
hundreds. Tho lecturer added that ho is
not an advocate of tho Dolan or Pittsburgh
system because he did not think it met
tbo wants and needs of practical life. Prof.
Heiges introduced a number of objective
systems that possess advantages iu teach
ing addition, and pointed out different
combinations of figures that can ho form

Geography.
Prof. Buohrlo, after answering a few
questions that had been propounded bear
ing upon his remarks of tho morning, re
sumed his discussion of ' ' Mathematical
Geography." Ho said-that if the oarth
was at rest it would, by tho law of gravi
tation, bo a perfect sphere. Tho rotation
of tho earth, therefore, accounts (or tho
fact that it is not a perfect
sphere, but ' is llatteuod atf tho
poles. This rotation gives us tho idea
of the axis of tho earth. Wo get an idea
of the zones by tho inclination of tho axis,
and aro enabled from the inclination to
determine the width of tho. zoucs. Iu
illustration the lecturer drew upon the
board a figure from which ho demonstrat
ed how tho climate of tho various regions
oi the earth is determined by tho rotation
of tho earth, by reason of tho greater or
less degree of speed had by tho gulf
stream at certain points. Tho direction
of thetrado winds is determined tho same
way. One question answered by Mr.
Buehrlc was as to whether it was right
for a child to study geography it forbidden
to do so by its parents. Mr. Buchrlo said
it was not right to encourage a child to
disobey its parents or to practico decep
tion upon them, and if a parent said his
child should not study geography tho
lecturer would not allow him to study it
and tell his father or a mother that he did
not study it.
Superiuteudeut Shaub spoko for somo
timo on reference to this question, and said
that, whilo he would rot eccourago decep
tion on pupils or teachors,ha would say to
tho teacher that ho ?hou!d;liavo it known
throughout his distiict that ho was teach
ing everything for which ho found time,
aud if parents did not wish their children
to study auy particular branch that was
taught in tho school they had better keep
them away. Prof. Shaub pursued tho
lino of thought suggested and pointed out
that school work is a missionary work,
and that its influence should bo used for
educating popular' sentiment.
Prof. Buchrh) coincided with the super
intendent's view of tho missionary charac
ter of school work, but did not think tho
courts would sustain any teacher or school
board in forcing a pupil to study any par
ticular branch on tho alternative of expul
sion from tho school.
Music "Beulah Land." "The Chapel."
Drawing.
Prof. Georgo E. Little, of Washington,
was tho next lecturer, aud his subject was
"Drawing." Tho teachers we're furnished
with copy books, and tho lecturer drew a
number of augles upon tho board, aud
then mado squares of different sizes, which
wcro copied oy the teachers in tho books,
and a number of figures of various shajies
wcro formed by tho junction of angles.
Music "Away to School," "Music
Everywhere."
.Heading ana Klocutlou.
Prof. Brown resumed bis lecture on
reading and elocution, premising his re
marks by quoting from tho letter of a
friend tho meaus by which Mr. Bcccher
formed tho picturesque imagery that
illustrate his sermons. Tho lecturer de
fined memory as tho faculty by which tho
mind retains and recalls events ; the lav
of association'!.'; the central law that dif
ferentiates man from tho lower animals.
Imagination is tho mind's artist, tho picture-loving
and picturo-making faculty.
Reason is that faculty which infers, judges,
compares and understands. Generaliza
tion is that faculty which takes theso com
parisons, judgments, inferences and
understandings. Thought controls ex
pression. No thought and feeling control
expression. Reading is getting thought
and feeling. Reading is giving thought
and feeling. Tho first hangs upon Del
sarte's law. Tho lecturer raid theso
definitions would havo their place in tho
remarks that ho would have to-morrow.

Superintendent Illglx-o.
Dr. E. E. Iligbcc, state superintendent:
of public instruction, was introduced aud
spoke for about Rvq minutes, reviewing
tho impressions ho gathered from tho
great contrasts that aro to ho observed in
tho educational facilities of to day and
those of his boyhood. He told of tho
rongh old schoolhouso he attended and
of the littlo uncouth pedagogue in
blue spectacles, who imparted instruction,
but that old pcdagogue.if ho was without
the appliances and facilities of 'modern
education, was not a mechanical peda
gogue ; he did not care for outsido appli
ances, but struck straight and with force.
; The distinguished educator illustrated the
practical methods employed by his old
pedagoguo by relating how he first gave
him a real knowledge of geography, not
the dead meohauieal sort that h& possessed
at tho time. It is not. said Dr. Higbee,
appliances, methods or facilities that com
prise the real means of instruction, but
the power of personal character, of mind'
meeting miud, ol soul, looking into soul,
ami of deep auswering deep that aro tho
truo element of education.
Superiuteudeut Iligbeo was listened to
with attention aud loudly applauded. '

Tuesday Evening. Fulton opera houso
was tilled, tho attraction being tho
second lecture of tho Iustituto course
by Col. L. ll. Copelaud, of Indiana, on
tho subject of " Snobs aud Snobbery."
Col. Copelaud is au ex-teacher himself,
and his discourse was iu a humorous vein,
comprising au almost uuiuterrupted sorics
of funny stories that kept tho audience iu
a roar of laughter for two hours.
Wednesday Morning. Opened with
music, " Twickenham Ferry," " Whistle
and Hope," "Song of Seven," "The Mil
ler's Daughter," after which Rev. C.
Reimnusuyder read tbo 112th IValm and
tho audience sang " AH Hail tho Power
of Jesus' Name."
Some OueHtionn A.mvoied.
Prof. Heiges answered a several que
ries that had been sent up by tho institute,
throwing out a number of valuable sug
gestions in regard to object teaching and
subjects of kindred interest to teachers,
but was cut short before ho got si chanco
to take up his subject ot tho " Philosophy
of Questioning."
Superintendent Shaub briefly addressed
the institute iu relatinu to several inter
rogatories that had been sent up, ono of
them being as to legislation beneficial to
tho teachers and how it could bo best se-
L cured. Superintendent Shaub said it was
a subject ou which a lontr speech could bo
made, but with a me cry twinkle added
that the whole matter had better bo left
to tho " Democratic Legislature," and if
additional benefits could bo secured from
this quarter he certainly wonld bo very
glad. Laughter and applause. 1
Music" The Miller's Daughter." .
Tho next period was occupied by, City jvf'
Superintendent Buehrle iu answering
questions. Ho thought that teachers
should excuse pupils from tho study of
particular branches of study only at tho
request ol parents, and ordinary decency
would lequiro that tho xnrents should
give a lcosonable causo for wishing bis
child excused ; tho teacher might nso his
influence upon the parent to briug him to
understand that it was best for tho child
to study the regular course ; it so hap
pens, tco, that usually tho trouble is with
tho teacher if ho does not taf:o tho
proper degree of interest iu a branch of
study the pupil will bo certain to manifest
tho samo indifference, and vice versa ; tho
right thing for tho teacher to do is to
throw himself with all tho moro ardor into
a study that he finds to bo unpopular,
with pupiUand patrons', and he is almost
certain to overcome tho prcjudico exist
ing agahut it. Prof. Buchrlo answered
also a' number of question, bearing upon
his runner remarks upon geographical
and mathematical subjects.
Music" Let Others Dream."
Drawing.
Prof. Little occupied the ensuing fifteen
miuuto period by drawing figures upon
tho blackboard, which wero cbniad by the
teachers. His idea is to arouse au interest
iu tho subject of drawing among tho
teacher.'-', who may carry it into their
schoolrooms and reach the masses of tho
pupil:-- not merely those who havo niaifi
I'estcd a special adaptability in this direct
tion.

At somo length Prof. Brown discussed tbo

The Work l the Teacher and Hon to lo It.
Col. Copeland was introduced and began
his remarks by protesting nga'nst tho
manner iu which tho audieuco at this
institute arranged itself, with tbo roses
all on out', side and tho thorns on tho
other, alluding to tho dictribution of the
sexes ou separate sides of tho room. Tho
speaker said it was not the business of
teachers to mould their pupils and turn
them out all alike, small editions of them
selves, but to take the child nature and
treat each ono as an individual, study their
respective bent of mind and to understand
that each possesses faculties that rcquiro
separate treatment ; it is the old notion of
moulding that puts so many round pegs
into square holes and square pegs iuto
round holes ; tho law of differentiation is
ono of God's laws, and it's the business of
tho teachers to apply it iu their work ;
to see to it that each boy and girl having
a different liuo of lifo before it
is fitted fur that lino ; habit, disposition
and temperament must be taken into con
sideration. Children are plants iu the
gardon of life, and tho office ofa teacher is
to aid this plan to reach the trellis aud to
grow and grow until tho vino reaches far
up into the sunlight of knowledge aud
the fruit is lipa, rich aud luscious,
not soar aud stinted as it is s- fre
quently wbero tho moulding system is pur
sued. The speaker pleaded for a broader
and more liberal cultura for the teaching
fraternity, a moro thorough understand
ing of that which is iu onr hands to do.
School government occupied a portion of
tho speaker's attention, and ho made an
offectivo plea for tho children who arc
sent to schools from homes that aro devoid
of good influences or proper associations.
Tho bad boys and girls need caro aud Iovo
and kind attention oven'morottban the
good childten who have tho Iovo of a
mother aud tho holy influences
that pervade homo. The speaker il
lustrated the necessity of tender
care for tho unfortunates and moral out
casts by relating an affecting iucidesit i;i
hia own nchoclboy life, and paid a tribute
to tho memory of his school teacher, a
whito haired "old maid," v.l ' by Iovo
and gentleness had goyerm d a lot of un
ruly young rascals who had i-it to :ut
lusty men whose only idea : (I-MupliiM.
and school government was, tho jmwer or
