desire to submit it to our readers hoping that they will test its value the class had completed the geogra phy of europe two members were appointed by the teacher to set out on a travelling expedition in which they were to visit all the large cities they could reach in ships or large steam-boats two others were to visit the cities that could not be reached except by rail two were to take a tour over the coun try visiting the principal mountains ascertaining their height and for what they were noted two others were to visit the principal islands if any two who set out on the same expedition failed to agree as to the route they take they were at liberty to separate and go in different directions they were to tell the size of the places visited what kind of people lived there what their occupation was how they dressed and how they worshipped the class was much interested in these reports and all seemed to realize a thing rarely done by a geography class that there actually were such places as they were talking about and that real people lived there we heard these pupils a few days after conver sing among themselves of the places they had visited much as they would had they actually made the trip we mentally resolved to try this plan at the first opportunity and advise you fellow teacher to do the same — ex if we were asked who is to be li the coming man in the tutorial profession we would answer unhesitatingly the man who recognizes and acts upon the fact that in order to be a teacher he must devote some portion of his time to learning how to teach the old idea that a man is a full fledged teacher as soon as he has acquired a certain a mount of book knowledge is going out of fashion those whose business it is to look after the interests of the schools in the county are beginning to show an interest in their work when a body of men such as that which met at the court house on the 24th of may.assem bles and earnestly discusses the subject of education it means something ft means progress not that we are to reject all former ideas about teaching i]iij substitute new fnngled ideas in their stead but that we mean to profit by the past retaining much that is good in the old system and making such improvements as experience suggests as practicable that there is room for improvements none will deny in every other department of science improve ments are continually being made shall the same science of education be denied the same privilege the teacher who thinks so well find him self slowly it may be but none the less surely gravitating towards the lower ranks of the profession the southern presbyterian gener al assembly adjourned on saturday night may 24th the following is the most important matters the questiou of marriage with a deceased wife's sister was referred fin ally to the presbyteries for their ad vice and consent the mode of amending the confession of faith and catechism was decided on the ques tion of powers of elders to act as mod erator of church courts was referred to the next assembly a committee was appointed to prepare and send down to churches a pastoral letter on the duty and neglect of family wor ship the cause of education receiv ed much attention and in considera tion of the increasing number of can didates for the ministry the churches were urged to increase their contribu tions so as to meet all the require ments for the expense of education at a late hour on saturday night after disposing of all the business on the docket and passing the customary vote of thanks the assembly was closed with devotional exercises the moderator in accordance with the form prescribed declared the general assembly of 1884 dissolved and ordered that another assembly be convened in the city of houston tex as on the third thursday of may 1885 how to conduct eecitations a valuable feature of a recitation says a writer in the siudentjs a discussion on the subject of the lesson whether this is between the members of the class or between the class and its teach er it is to be encouraged how inter esting it is in the midst of a bare state ment of memorized facts to see the eyes brighten at the suggestion of some per tinent question how the sleepy minds suddenly awake to thought in solving a newproblem or evolving a new idea how r a class becomes full of bright ness when an honest difference of opin ion elicits a lively debate on some topic relating to the subject in hand a skill ful teacher can readily provoke and control such a debate hen you can get a child to ask intelligent questions or express original ideas no matter how crude you nave brought that child into a very desirable frame of mind for the reception of truth and for the ex pansion of its powers we suggest this as a practical rule never go be fore a class without having prepared at least one question not in the text-book but closely related to what is there which will awaken interested thought in the minds of the children ex the policy of the democrat is to utilize every dollar possible in pay ing the throe per cent bonds uow out standing by this means we notouly stop interest and save an expense to the people but also hasten the day when the inevitable crisis will be reached forcing a reduction of taxa tiou there are nowouly 230,000 000 of these three per cent bonds un paid and the democratic house should make erery exertion to pay them off at once because of this the dingley bill should be passed at this session this bill provides that about 40,000,000 of greenbacks now lock ed up in the treasury shall be inves ted in these bonds if this be done and 40,000,000 of bonds be retired there will remain outstanding but 190,000,000 the existing surplus continuing there will be retired within the next twelve months 100,000,000 more and by that tim we assume the sit aution will be so critical that no pub lic man will dare to trifle with the prombleiu further and all opposition to tax reduction will cease what the democratic party desires to accom plish will then commend itself to the judgment cf all classes and our meas ure will be successful the people will be relieved of the unnecessary burdens they now bear and the coun try will be more prosperous — news & observer boggnn cash's second victim james coward who was shot and fatally wounded by w b ca*h on february 23 last died last
