Grover Cleveland was elected in 1884, but defeated for re-election in 1888, after becoming a benedict. In view of the above strange coincidence

+he supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias is now considering a move that is highly interesting to aj members. George B. Shaw, of Eau Claire, Wis., is in communication with the supreme representatives of the various staios in regard to the estab- ‘ lishment of a grand lodgze in the

Hawaiian islands. A sufficient numb- l er of lodges have been organized, and they, through the deputy supreme, (:hgnqe,llor,foi that Jurisdiction, have | #eut in a petition for a grand lodge. l |

The authorities are thinking of taking steps to warn the outside world of the situation of affairs, T THE NEW EDUCATIQN. Prof. Griflin, of the Cook county, 111., Normal, delivered a lecture on ‘“The New Education,” in LaPorte rggently, The professor pregented some excellent ideas. He began his lectureby saying: “In this progressive age, when the new is constantly pushing the old before it, seattering the latter to the four winds, after first utilizing what there is in it that is good, it behooves all live, progressive people, whose eyes are directed towards these new things, and whose ears are attuned to cateh the newer harmonies, to be on the alert, when some new apostls appears in their midst with ‘good tidings of great joy, which shall be toall people,’” ete,, ete, The speaker said his subject was one of the oldest new things. It was not so new but that it had been used by Socrates. The new education was opposed to the spelling of about 15,000 useless words; to the eramming and stuffing of numbers of figures in the case of primary scholars; to the balderdash illustrations and examples made use of by many teachers; to technical grammar; to knowing about foreign countries and not knowing about one’s own country; to the use of words that have no meaning, etc., etc. The professor quoted from Garfield who said & pupil should study first what he needs to know. Written and oral arithmetic, he thought, should go together. They belong to the same family. One is the little brother of the other. He believed that arithmetic | should begin with oral lessons. Speak- & -'m!m.;g‘ eaf "Ol g 4,‘:

| teacher should be subject to petty ex|aminations every few months. He should have common sense enough to put into use what he knows. On the question of per cent he was particularly severe. Children were not judged by what they know but by their per cent. Under the old system they may obtain a high per cent and know but little. Love of country and the flag should be early taught. He thought the presentation of flags to the schools was a good example to follow, The education of the heart, which depends a great deal on the teacher, was too much neglected. The LaPorte Herald, from which we take the above Synopsis, says that the professor clinched alj his arguments in a manner that would be dificult to combat, ;
