EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT

v t r >1 ny R.« riorcc. Thin lirjwfcli of education h» nh.uuefitlly W'gU <ri<*d in oni public ncltooth. (Vliy il mlmhilil bo is imt easily explained. lYrlmpN Wcaii'v ife influence and importance arc not generally understood. lVuyinnshii> in it a plain and irimpta forma, non Mimics within I'the yery cradle of art. The elements of p 'lim\lishin :iM,Tn'tßewiiioTvea,"The"greatvat iiisirwnKMits of art culture, which ic one ofpriuiciiiiportiince ton great nation like ours; and yet its begirt* wing point is neglected and, in consequence, its end is never reached. Owing to this fact we »ru to day paying tribute to European art. Tnis tribute consists not only in open acknowledgement on our part «lSneompotency in art, but it is so 'of a' nolfliiKMoiiii n a litre. MflUons of dollars of tributo money yearly cross llie Atlantic. 'We pay the tribute, r.ot because we do not pos sess genius or the elements of sue cess, but because we are content IS be the world’s Hercules, leaving it to foreign nations to do our fine mechanical and artistic work, instead of utilising our own powers of Invention, our own unawakened genius. A reform in this particular is needed, and is already manifest. We have found Our neglect of art culture is dwarfing Uui vAloand skill of our people; that -the most successful financial nations are those who have fortified Ifiems*.lves by a knowledge and an aji-. preeialtou of .art culture and its results. Why* can we find a nitre appropriate jdace th an in our schools to begin acrusadcjif’this important matter? The risirig generation will set the matter right if given the start. What branch is more calculated to bring out the qualities ol the mind necessary io true art and correct taste than the one of Penmanship ? Clearly none; for Penmanship not only contains within itseifail the elements of art, but i t has a broad field in which to show its influence and make its power known. General education in this branch will be general education in art, and we will never, never be an artistic or an art-loving people until its elements and its practice are successfully inculcated in our schools. .•'■/ i •Iu another article I will attempt to contrast the different erroneous ideas in regard to this branch with the truth, and will give my idea of what constitutes practical, sucesesful work in this 4 important depa tment of education. It is perfeatly appalling when we consider that th'iß free and eniiglitened country ol ours consumes fifty million gallons of whiskey, ten million kegs of beer and two thousand mil Li on cigars within the short period of a twelvemonth. These things are the life of polities, a “drink” too frequently being the piUf'ui price paid lor a poor inebriate’s vote, and two often furnishing employment Loom: criminal lawye is, judges, sheriffs and jailers, llut notice, every dollar spent on these things means so many less tor education; refinement ami culture. Let a man determine to drink, and the expenditure in that direction-wjil remove it from another. No wonder this country cannot afford to pay more money for teachers’ saTa ries when it puts £.300,000,G00 per annum into the tills of liquor sellers. That would he just about §2OO a piece more to each teacher. lienee teachers you see this matter interests you pecuniarily. Then impress upon the minds of the children the fearful growing out of .these evils, not only by ypecept but by a pure, noble, courageous example, and it will put money into your pockets and a crown upon your souls.

A horse from America has won in the English races! Wonderful news! Ji is on the bulletin boards; U is flashing over the wires from one end et the continent to the the other, over deep and rapt! rivers, up steep mountains, across the wind-swept prairies and the v ast plains of the West. It is discussed in the street, shop and station. Let us see. Why, this was an educated horse. lie has been through the Ilorse Kindergarten, the Horse Primary, the Ilor.-e Secondary, the IlOrse High School, and the Horse College. Mr. Loriiliard didn’t pay any mean schoolmaster prices to the teachers and trainers of Master Parole; not he. JJe got the best, paid prices like a man. lie had a good deal ot culture bestowed upon that horse, lie didn’t spare anything that would make a horse out oi him. In fact be'had him educated -du the most approved style, and when Governor Robinson called in and suggested that he should only teach him *o he could draw a coal cart, ho replied “Governor, you don’t understand this business j onlyr. cd nested horses can pay .for their bringing up.* 1 Wonder if Mr. Loriliiard grumbles about bis sciiooltuxf Wonder*bow mncliMlfey pay a teacher in that school house near Ida place on Long Island ? Roger Ascham, who was laid in his English grave over three hundred years ago, wrote-with his pen: “It is a pity that cemmoHly more care is had, yea, and that among very wise men, to find out ralh'fey a cun-, iirngrra;i fa their horse? t]ian # & euilnlng'Sn'an for their children. God that sittclh in heaveij,*Li»gh; j-fbrhe fciiflitrelli them to, have well ordered !ibrsee, \ but wild and .uufptluiiiiU' u-hildrcu.”

Uncle dick's thoughts.

l or Tin. Union. In reviewing tho efforts of Jimmy Dunn in this place on tho great subject ol temperance, the following thoughts arc suggested to my mind: Jimmy came a stranger in our midst, found friends, and, naturally enough, found opponents. To the latter class I speak. What various ideas are connect ed in the subject of reform! In reality reformations are but changes in the order M existing things. Iu great measure they are brought about by the impulses of* educated intelli pence*.; Impelled onward by the desire to impart knowledge calculated to benefit their fellow-men. how varied the methods employed by speakers and lecturers to impart their ideas! Some are calm, modest and dispassionate, arid address themselves solely to the judgment and reason of their hearers; others are all enthusiasm, magnetism and excitement; they play upon the passions and impulses and arouse the sympathies of humanity. If the object-sought is good, why sLould objection be made to fair an d lion orable methods f r.storing it? The lecturer advocates his own peculiar theories to benefit the comfiitnfite'qf which \vt) are members. It may be that lie lilts his voice on .behalf' of morality, virtue and sobriety, great essentials to the well being of society. Should >t not, i ask,-be the endeavor and the duty of the citizen to encourage and sustain, by every means in his power, the principles he ad vocates ? In, the attainment of them wjll not so ; ciety be more secure? It certainly will. Is it not indeed true.that 1 morality and virtue, combined with sobriety, are the requisites desired by law-abiding people? Can those noble qualities exist based on the shoals of intemperance? Intern perance, what has it done, or, rather, what has it. not done, for earth’s children? Tongue of man can never, never tell the misery of it's devotees, ncy chisel of sculptor carve their true epitaph. llow, then, can the professed Christian wrap around him his robe of selfrighteousness, stand alooi, and exclaim that be has no interest in the cause of temperanci ? Is it p<*s sibTe he-has forgotten tho iiijuticlion to lilt, up the'fallen and direct the feet ol a wayward brother into the path of sobriety ? ~\Y as not this the mission of Him itiwhosc footsteps be professes to be ! following? It surely was the mission ol the Master; the duty of his j followers is the same. The profess*iug Christian in opposing relorm, be it temperance or another, is but a stumbling block in the track of progress, liable to bo crushed be 'ncath the triumphal car of civiliv.a----j lion, or overwhelmiied by the, wave I of public scorn a,nd contempt.

The stock was satisfactory and accepted without complaint or dispute, and (ho money, amounting to $750, was paid over. The contractor then Went out to superintend loading them 04 (tie cars. Fifteen or twenty minutes afterwards he returned and told Mr. that lie (the Monticello jiian) cither had lost ten dollars or Had overpaid him thatmuch. Mr. Nowels took the roll of bills out of his pocket and gave them over to the man to be recounted. After fumbling the money over the man gathered it together info his hand and told Mr. Nowels that; lie would not receive the hogs and would keep the money without another contract was consented to. To this Mr. Nowels objected. After a parley that suggested arrest arid the possibilities of a lakeside resort in the near future,, the Monticello financier returned his called loan. This is one instance at least where the financial tactics for which Monticello people are becoming notorious failed of success. At the regular monthly meeting of the Jasper County Temperence Union for August, 1879, held at the I’resbyteriaii church Monday nig I it, officers were elected for the succeeding three months.us follows: D. B. Miller, president; Mrs. C’has.H. Price, vice president; Noble J. York, secretary; Miss Lola Moss, treasurer. It was decided to maintain the organization which has proven popular since Us formation, now four or five years, and Which h:es kept alive a healthy and strong temperance sentiment among the youthful classes. This organization will gladly co-operate as an ally with any ami ull'uiovenieuts to cheek and suppress vice, but for the presehf at least it does not feel the necessity for being absorbed by any other. As heretofore the regular meetings Of the societv will be held on the first Monday night of each month, alternating between the Christian, Methodist and Presbyterian churches.

Alton Grant while threshing grain at the county farm last Friday attempted to wrest abaml-culling knife from one of the half-demented in-inates-af that asylum. In the struggle the knife was drawn through '-Grant’s -closed hand severing an artery or two and indicting a dangerous wound. The workmen on J udge Hammond’s dwelling on last Saturday made up a purse of §ls 50 and presented it io Widow Weathers, the mother of the* iad who fell from the building on the Monday previous and broke both arms- It was a generous act and tho gift was worthily bestowed. The teachers who have been employed for the schools of Rensselaer for*lß7o-80 are: G- \V. Allen, principal, Miss Eva Halstead, grammar, Miss Mattie Benjamin, second intermediate, Miss Candace Boroughs, first intermediate, Miss Celia Wilkinson, primary. On Monday last George Grauel was hastily summoned to the bedside of his mother, in the vicinity of Logausport, who was ill and not expected to recover. He had not time to engage anybody to look after liis business, lienee hud to lock up liis liar ness shop. John tV.
