METHODS OF IXSTRrCTIOX.
BY A. C HOLP.F.HT.
CHAPTER VI.
United StatcsTiistory is to-daj the
worst taught branch in our public
f chools. I have read every book on
the subject of teaching history that
I have ieen able to eft. I have I
jourtl over the prefaces of at lead
thirty text books in the vain hope
ihnl I mip-ht obtain something new
on the subject. My otToi-ls have been
id vain,
If 1 can point out tlie rea-
sons, or most of the reasons, why
history of the United States is poor
1 v taught, I may place our younger
u-achtr in the way of doing better
work. 1 Ireely con'ess here and
now, I have nothing new. I cannot
S3y that I have a single method that
1 would advocate lor a minute in
preftrance to that of any other
teacher. This paper will be mostly
complaint.
When I began teaching, history
was not on the certificate. I never
studied it as a public school branch.
When the subject was placed on the
certificate I made no attempt at
"cramming." I had read the stand
ard histories of the day. I was fa
miliar with the life of Columbus. I
went into class and I "got one."
Others attempted to cram, and their
marks showed the evil effects of it
I do say that there i3 not a single
text book on historv in our schools
to-day that is fit to be there. They
are one and all poor, lean, miserable
abortions. They are shielded, some
of them, behind a great name, arid
as a rule the greater the name the
poorerthc book. You cannot find one
of them that gives anything like a
connected uarrative; not one from
which you can obtain any but the
luoet meagre knowledge of the his
tory of our country. Not a single
one of them goes into "causes and
eflect?," as regards any of the wars
in which our country has been en
gaged. Not one of them tells you
' why it was natural that the Puritan
Father should be a persecutor as
soon as he trot his vine and fig tree
in running order. The yonn;; stu
dent is left to struggle with an arrav ,
of dull, dead facts. If he happens
to have a teacher who has 'read up"
who has allowed his mind to wan
der off in search of the "true in
wardness" of things, he may know ,
a good deal of history from close at-;
tcntion to oral instruction, bat if his
teacher be not 6uch a man, if he be
permitted merely to gather up what
is in the lookj he will know very
little history, even if he have two or
three of them committed bodily to
memory.
We did not learn history in this
way. We do not learn the history
of any other country in this way.
My knowledge of the history of
Home was obtained from hours and
hours spent pouring over the paijes
of Mommsen and Gibbon; of Greece,
from the chapters of Mitlord and
Grote; of England, from Macaulay
and Hallam, and Knight; of our
own country, from Bancroft, Hil
dreth, and others. I aight extend
the list, but it is useless. Now, my
idea is that there must be a radical
reform in the matter of the text book
before there can be any, even tolera
ble, teaching in this branch. We
want a text look that will give us
something. Pupils must not le
kept shaking the dry bones of history
backward and forward year after
year in the vain hope that any flesh
will be developed by the process.
What can we do with our books as
they are? My plan is to cut out all
dates except the most important.
There are, really, but about twenty
live or thirty dates that are of any
importance. All the rest may be
omitted. Those important dates
must be learned; there is no such
thing as dodging it
IIow will you teach? I believe
that it will take five months to get
a school so trained that they can
write a passable topical discussion
of a lesson in any branch. If you
have a school that has not been
trained to topical recitation you run
some little risk if you attempt to
drill them in this method. When a
loy or girl is sent to the board and
told te write off a topical discussion
of some point, you will find that he
will say but little. He may be able
to answer any question you ask him
on the subject, but he cannot write
his knowledge. You see that you
have to teach him two lessons at
once. My own individual success,
by means of the written topical
method, has never been so great as I
could wish; I mean among young
pupils. Were I to indicate my meth
od," I would say in the public schools
a combination of two methods, oral
ly by question and answer, and top
ically, both written and oral. There
is a method of review which I have
used for several years. It may be
made cither written or oral, the teach
er using his own judgment in the
matter. The plan is this: On cards
of stiff paper I write questions, one
question on each. The cards are
numlered. I have accumulated
about a thousand of these cards. I
take a certain number of them, mix
them up thoroughly, allow each
member of the class to take one, and
after two or three minutes I call on
each member to rise and tell what he
knows in regard to the subject on
the card be drew. It is an excellent
mode of conducting a review. The
cards that have been used I of course
put in a separate pack and do not
use them again for sometime. I re
member once a card was drawn bear
ing the question: "Define the Milan
decree and the orders in council."
When I called on the young man by
the number of his card, he arose,
solemn as an owl, read the question,
and remarked: "Never heard of 'em."
The whole affair was inexpressibly
ludicrous, but I soon found out that
the whole class had "never heard of
'em." I sent them home to wrestle
with the question until next day,
when I told them what they were,
but when ' we had got "through the
book" one of them said to me,
"Teacher, I've been looking out for
the Milan decree and the orders in
council, and they're not mentioned
in the book." And it was so. Since
that time I have heard that very
question asked in an examination by
a county superintendent, (not in this
county) and I know that it was not
in most of the text books used in his
county.
Whether the question was a fair
one or not I leave my readers to de
termine. I know that it 6ho wed that
the teachers who missed it possessed
slight general knowledge of the his -
ofoU-Mir f 0Dntry nt a rtm po-
nod. Still the . men who failed to
answer the question, were, many of
them, good teachers.
I have observed that pupils pur
suing the study , of historv fail to
summaryize, perhaps, more Ircquer.t-!
ir tnan anything else. I will en-1
aeavor to illustrate my meaning. I used bt Jacobs Oil and am well sat
wnd a boy to the board and direct isfied that it is a splendid article to
mm to WCTMlTe to recite the "earlw
history of this country." If lie pre-
pares his work properly, it will read
very nearly at follows:
1. Extent of our country and its
form of government
2. Its discovery by the Northmen
and by Columbus.
8. Character, habits, and destiny
of the native inhabitants.
4. lleturn of Columbus to Spain
and his three other voyages."
His impressions concerning his
: discovery.
j ti. Voyage of America
oins and bU claims.
1
7. Discovery of Yutatan, Florida
and the Pacific ocean.
8. Conquest of Mexico and explor
ations northward.
y. Events on the coast of South
Carolina.
10. Attempts of Narvaez and De
Soto to conquer Florida.
1 1. Discovery of the Mississippi
river.
12. Discovery of America by Ca
bot and Yerazzarri.
13. Discovery of the SL Lawrence
and Canada by Ca.lier.
14. Attempts of Coliguy to found
a colony in Florida and cruelty of
the Spaniards there.
15. Voyages of Fr6bishu and
Drake.
10. Failure of Raleigh to make
settlement.
17. Explorations of the New En
gland coasts,
13. French eettlements in Acadia
and in Canada.
19. Discovery of Hudson river.
From the above summary anyone
can recite a creditable lesson in his
tory, provided 'ie is sufficiently well
versed on the subject to catch his
cue from the headings, but the few
est number of pupils can write out
such a summary. Why? I some
times think that it is "because one
must possess knowledge before he
can summarize it But this does not
cover every case. I have had pupils
who possessed the knowledg". and
on asking them to write out u sum
mary they made an egregious failure
every time. There rmit. be constant
drill in order to impiui ..lie necessary
.ibililv. The nunil will not obtain
tliis ability in a short time. Five
I months will show some advancement
out nothing commensurate with
your wishes. It will require years
of careful drill. History is not a
branch to be taken up and complet
ed in a winter; it must run through j
the entire common school course. I
think that the school history should
be a book of considerable size, three
or four 12 mo. volumes, and there
should be no aim to hurry through.
As I have already said, our common
text books can give but a smattering
at the best Ask a loy the cause of
the late rebellion. He will answer
slavery, and tell all he knows in that
one word. He knows nothing of the
seething of the political caldron for
thirty years before the war came.
AEk another boy the causes which
led to the revolutionary war. He
will answer: "The British wanted to
levy a tax of three pence a pound
on tea, and the Americans would not
pay it, so King George sent his ar
mies over to force them to do so."
Or he may reply, "Taxation without
representation." The latter answer
contains more than the former, but
neither of them goes down to the
bottom of the matter. Neither of
them reaches the source of that
thunder cloud that for years was
looming up above the horizon and
finally condensed into the storm of
war and revolution.
Pupils must know something of
causes and effects in studying his
tory. What is there of moment in
the doubtful story of Pocahontas and
Captain Smith? Who cares an3rthing
about the Indian who fired seventeen
point-blank Knots at Washington?
What difference does it make wheth
er Washington was ever wounded in
battle or not? Perhaps in future
tims some one may suggest that he
kf ,.t out of the reach of bullets.
V ry much of the history that is put
it lo our text books is of the charac
tcr mentioned.
I am perfectly aware that this ar
ticle is barren of practical sugges
tions. The school text book of his
tory from which the best results can
be obtained remains to be written.

A Hold Swindle Vnon Kail Iliver
Manufacturer.
Fall River, Mass., May 8. A
bold swindle upon several manufac
turers of this city has just come to
light A number of mills here have
purchased, through brokers in this
city a considerable quantity of cot
ton from a commission merchant in
Columbus, Miss., named L. Green.
A portion of the cotton arrived all
right, and the remainder not com
ing to hand some time after the
drafts had been accepted, an inves
tigation was made which has result
ed in the unearthing of a swindle of
considerable magnitude. Green was
the agent of the White Star Trans
portation Company at Columbus,
and after sending part of the cotton
all right it is said he took bills of
lading for the balance to a bank in
Columbus and received the money.
The drafts were forwarded here and
paid on presentation, and the cotton
not arriving suspicion was aroused.
Green has fled to part unknown.
The amount of the swindle is not
exactly known, but it is supposed
to involve 1.000 or 1,200 bales of
cotton, which would be a loss of $50,
000 or $00,000. The loss is distribu
ted among several mills. It is un
derstood that parties in Boston,
Taunton and Lawrence have been
victimized in a similar manner, n-nl

The Republican State Commit
tee thus early announces the open
ing of its Headquarters, and asks the
prompt co-operation of all active
Republicans, to the end that the de-
! tails of what must prove a sreatcan-
vass may receive the most mrrful
; attention.
The liarrfehurg Convention has
submitted to the suffrages of the
people a grat ticket and a glorious
platform. 1 be ticket embodies a
crounof names which for .nhility.
fitness and representative charac
ter, it is iinptnwible to excel. Genl
Beaver is not only the type of our
soldiery of that host which count
ed in its ranks nearly a quarter of a
million of Pennsylvanians wnen the
Union of the States was imperiled
but his deeds and sufferings for the
cause place him in the front rank of
- tra, a
the heroes of that war. As nepuo
licans we vowed in its darker hours
that political ingratitude should
never be shown to any of those he
roes, "all other things being equal,"
In this instance all other things are
more than equalled; they are ex
celled in so far that our maimed sol
dier candidate for Governor embod
ies all the higher qualities of the
statesman, the orator and the chris
tian. Senator Pavies for Lieutenant
Governor, represents the free, un
shackled talent of the section which
gave us a Wilmot and - a Grow.
Wm. Henry Rawle, for the Supreme
Ceurt is the best product of Phila
delphia's brilliant bar, and in the
world of legal letters bears a fame so
brishtthat our continent cannot bnd
it John M Geer. for secretary of
Internal Affairs, is as strong in pol
itics as in physique, and throughout
a distinguished career in the State
senate has been recognized as the
champion of the men who have de-
veiopea our rivers oi ou ana maae
the world their channel. Thomas
M. Marshall, the most independent
of all independent thinkers in our
West, is the best example our State
affords of the citizen whose qualifi
cations have compelled the office to
hunt the man. He will aid in keep
ing intact what in the nature of
things must be a very narrow Re
publican margin in the lower House
of Congress.
The ticket thus iaiiiv and lully
represents every living element of
Republicanism. Ihe plattorm is
more pronounced than ever before
adopted in the State pronounced
in seeking every legitimate political
advance touching improvement of
methods and the earliest possible
triumph of principles.
Pennsylvania is now ireer in her
forms of Republican primary action
than any other State in the Union.
The inaugurated district representa
tion in National Conventions, and
now more fully enforces this policy
than other of her sister States. The
present platform and the rules
embodied therein secure to primary
action for State Convention every
tangible claim to increase liberty,
and these are political reforms of
of more rapid growth than any
known to our history.
As a rule good things in politics
which come to stay, come step by
step, the pace increasing only as all
become more and more ready to re
receive. The progress of the Repub
lican party forcibly attests a fact
which has grown into a maxim. In
its infancy the party could but an
nounce its opposition to the further
extension of slavery. Extension
once forbidden, its wisest champion
the martyred Lincoln patiently
struggled in the -earlier years of his
first administration for compensa
ted emancipation. His appeals
were rejected by the parties interest
ed. War's grim necessity emanci
pated, and then a great struggle fol
lowed for equality before the law
but another step, and one which
looks timid now yet which wss
bold enough then. Civil rights ac
complished, manhood suffrage came
through even more painful stages.
To have demanded the greater boon
from the beginning the final step
which included and outreached all
the others would have led to a
fatal slip. The men who proved
their prowess in these struggles
were those who had the wisdom to
guide with care and good cheer, and
so to stand with the people as not to
lose their opportunities for 'increas
ing usefulness. Of such were Lin
coln, Stevens, Garfield.
And now the Republican party of
our btate, having aided m securing
human rights through legal forms,
in its r cent Convention wisely di
rected its attention to the growth of
liberty in primary action. In Re
publican Government it is frequent
ly wise in citizens to imitate in their
forms of voluntary political action
those laid down by the law, for in
this way all the people become fa
miliar with the law and its work
ings ; the exceptions point to times
and occasions when it is desirable
to change the law, and to prepare
sentiment for that change. The
constitutional law of Pennsylvania
fixes the number of Senators and
Representatives at 251, a maximum
which the platform preserves in the
selection of delegates to future State
Conventions, but at the same time
it wisely protects the primary right
of each Republican voter in the de
claration that delegates shall be se
lected as Senators and Representa.
tives are selected. This is popular
and representative suffrage earned
into primary action, giving to local
sovereignty to say whether it shall
be popular or representative. Eith
er is a great advance, and in the ad
vance the party of the State has
only refrained from interference
with the right of home rule in pri
mary details.
Look carefully at the platform,
and you will see not only successive
but culminating steps to every rem
jeay, ana steps pointing to every
! liberty which wisdom can suggest
i . . ... .
1 hese are reforms of to-day. . Only
tnvenomed sopistry can call them
reforms of to-morrow. The ticket
with high honor recognizes every
element of the party : the platform
embodies every principle which the
knowledge of men m disassionated
conference, committee, or conven
tion, could suggest as abreast of the
times.
The Republican party redeems its
pledges. It has never forfeited its
word, and neither misconstruction
nor taunt can shake its record or
purpose in this regard. Accom
plished reforms will be maintained,
promised reforms will be realized,
and that they may be maintained

Ancient Relic.
A couple of days ago a miner,
while at work in shaft No. 2 of the
Weehawken Tunnel, 165 feet below
the surface of the ground, found a
young alligator, twenty inches long,
in a crevice at the heading. The
reptile was hermetically sealed in
the "pocktt" where it A'as discover
ed ; and although it has been dead
for countless thousands of years, it
is remarkably well preserved, and
has not undergone the slightest
pctrefaction. There is a deep s warn p
peat formation over this shaft, and
it is probable that there were exten
sive everglades here once which were
inhabited by the various saurian
reptiles. Popular opinion to the
centrary, New Jersey was among the
first places on the earth to be creat
ed, as the trucks of extinct animals,
such as the brontoxooum, have been
found in the red sand-stone quarries

also large unmbers of warlike weap
ons belonging to the Jerseynien who

posed that men, plants, and animals

Eloped AVith a Circuit Man.
Two young girls yesterday after
noon appeared at the Central Police
Station and asked to be advised
how to proceed to secure the return
of the sister of one of them, who
had been enticed away from home
by a young man in Adam Fore
paugh's circus band. They were
told that the show had departed
for Lancaster and that they had
better telegraph to the Chief of Po
lice of that place to make search for
her. Accordingly a telegram giving
a detailed description of the missing
girl was sent, and later in the day
the sister departed for Lancaster
herself to assist the authorities.
The girl's name is Nellie Long and
she lived with her mother at No.
