In the report of our schools last week, we criticised the writing. We wish to add a few words to what was then said. We wish to urge teachers bring up the penmanship to what it should be. We may without fear of contradiction say that the chief reason for the failure is the lack of care and attention on the part of the teacher. To teach writing requires the greatest watchfulness.

Proper forms must be used to tram the muscles of the arm and hand to trace correctly. We do not believe that writing can be taught by analy sis. What we want is practice not theory. We learn to write by writing a great deal, at the same time using the best of models to follow from. But we do not believe aanenng to any swi Bjfbieiu, nut compel pupils to follow certain forms exclusively.

But it should be kept nviewthat it is the teacher's 4. iy. piwe pupil a lasting picture oi nou oniy the letters, but their combinations of words in common use. The aim is not Bimply to write a word or a line, but a or any number of pages alike. It is a well recognized fact that copy-book writing does not make a good record.

Wa know of persons who follow a copying as a business ana wno in every word violate some of the rules of letters, yet a page from their pen is "a thing of beauty;" and why? Because it met all of the requirements of good writing, plainness, uniformity, legibility and rapidity. Of all these branches taught at school, writing is the one which shows at once what has been done by the teacher. The day is past when bad penmanship is a sign of genius. Let us then have better work in school. Another neglected study is read- really the most important in school.

Let us see into the objects of reading what they, are (1) to ac quire a vocabulary of words, and trier by increase the power of language. 2) gain knowledge. 3) To exercise the vocal organs. 4) To impart that which we read to others. VY may then class reading as, (1) Silent reading.

(2) Audible reading. It is of the second that we wish to speak. Good readers are a rarity, and why? For the same reason that good writers are scarce. To teach reading one must be a good reader. We quote from the Normal Advocate.

minx would be a good idea if school directors would form themselves into an examining board for all applicants. They could examine in reading and penmanship. If they would do this, they would onen save their districts the infliction of havinc a teacher who could not read or write well. The simple fact is that the majority of our teachers do not properly appreciate the imJ portance of good reading, and are therefore, not able to teach reading properly, because they themaelves are not good readers. Many of the teachers who have attended Camp bell University, (and we doubt not that it is true of those of other schools,) while admitting that they are poor readers, do not take it because of a desire to pursue "higher" studies.

What folly! Reading paves the way makes the progress more rapid to all other studies. The A poor reader is in nine out oi ien cases below the average in all his classes. He who is a poor reader will not be a success in teaching any thing. In fact, the poor reader never succeeds in any pursuit, as he would were he a good reader. County examiners are entirely too slack in this regard.

Are they, too, often not of the class of those who place a low estimate upon reading? The habits formed reacting and wTirintr are the most tenacious of all that are formed in the school room. TK fthild who has a erood teacher in rf1inflrfrr the first three years of school life and thereafter does not study reading is far better off than one who has a poor leacner iur hiW h'ave a teacter of reading or writing for three years, ana a dozen years under a good teacner will hardly repair tne injury- xui We wish, however, to say for County Examiners that the State Board has put an end to oral reading Uothat all thev can base an estimate on as to th teacher's fitness is all theory. We close with this extract from the saying of a County Supt: "I have been pained to see a row of boys and girls 6tand before the teacher and set to naming words in their books; nor could the teacher nnsn hpvnnd that steo: it was almost Biways word naming and never read ing. And alter stuaying tne case over, nave ever iounu uim rumo teachers were defective in language culture." Resolutions of Condolence ana Sympathy. Adopted by Capt Lewis Stafford Post, No.

A prospect of better times, thought the household, when the young hopeful came iu with "here is three eggs and there is two hens on the nest and another a cackling. Vow as every person can't work on the railroads this season, some must raise crops. Better get ready as spring is approaching. Miss Barnes, our efficient teacher; has the spring term and our school goes right on after a short vacation. The rural weddi and ceremony by old Squire Cain, and two of our young people at the literary last week was real good and well performed.

Anthony and the management a shorter name. Big Two, how will that sound, and from the undisputed fact that it will be located in two big bustling states.

Those persons down in the south ern part of the county who are ad vising the formation of a third party in this county, should take long time to meditate and think wbat a third or prohibition party has done and will do if kept in existence. Two parties can raise thunder enough for all practicable purposes. Now that the railroad bonds are voted and the Kansas City road is assured, which undoubtedly is, a grand good thing for Valley Falls, it behoves the citizens there to induce capitalists and manufacturers to come and locate among them. Stop trading lots among yourselves and running the prices up. What chancre does it make in your popula tion if five hundred lots were sold among yourselves and no immigra tion.

Sink a coal shaft and assure plenty of cheap fuel. Offer your lots and lands at reasonable prices, invite a paper mill, flax straw inili, agricul tural manufactory, fruit drying and canning establishment, etc. You have water power in abundance going to waste. Pluck is luck, was clearly demons trated to our minds after learning the result of the festival held here last week under the managoment of a few energetic ladies. While they started out to get up a festival we, with a number of other brave men, said useless, you cannot make it a success, no use in trying, but the ladies said we will try and see what we can do.

The result was, nicely baked chickens, bread, pies, cookies, cakes and about all the other eatables in abundance, and after ail had eaten to their stomachs content some twelve baskets full ere left. The minister was presented with all he desired to carry away. Two very large, handsome cakes, one made by Mrs. Isaac Booth, and the other by Mrs. Robt PowelL was voted to the handsomest young lady present, Misses Gertrude Barnes and Minnie Maxwell carried off the cakes.

These cakes were afterwards carried to school, cut into thirty-five pieces each and divided among that many happy school children. The net proceeds of that were twenty-five dollars even, to make glad the nrinister.and replenish his exchequer. Long av these ladies live in their sphere of usefulness. Kohl Rabi Some Interesting Facts. John Beland is still in the stove, tinware, hardware, and implimeat business, and Is in spite of this dull season he finds something to do.

Everybody knows his reputation for keeping the best of everything, and selling at the most popular prices. If you want a stove you should go at once to John Beland's and buy it. The quality and the price wiil suit you. You can get tinware, shelf and heavy hardware, builders, tools plows, listers, harrows, stalk cutters, corn planters, cultivators, iarm ana spring wagons, buggies, phaetons, and carts, in fact anything else an establishment like his ought to con tain. hen the season advances a little John Beland will have something very interesting to offer, bear this in mind and call on him.

jllORFOED, A special session of the Kansas TJ. P. Presbytery was held here Monday evening to consider some matters of importance that could not well be postponed longer. There were eighteen or twenty visiting ministers and delegates present. Rev.

J. S. T. Milligan, pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian church at North Cedar, was in the city Monday. He is proud of the fact that his congregation has one of the finest churches in that section, and all paid for.

Rev. E. H. Stewart, who conducted the revival meetings here for the Baptists, has received a call to the pastorate of the Baptist church at Holton. and will soon enter upon his new field of labor.

Some Topeka gentlemen have had some very fine Norman and Clydesdale stallions at Legler Allen's livery stable the past few days. M. Doolittle went to Kansas City Tuesday to lay in a large stock of hardware, agricultural imple R. E. Van Meter, Editor and Prop'r VIXX FALLS.

The News seems to have made pretty good stagger in that direction itself in its last issue, as this week's New Era will quite conclusively demonstrate. John G. Thompson, an old Demo cratic war-horse, of Ohio, was laid to his final rest last Saturday. Thomp son was an indefatigable worker for his party, and often brought the most scathing maledictions down upon his own head in his endeavors to do the behests of his associates, and he died unjustly rewarded for the work he did for his party.

his much we do know, however, that it is very erenerally believed that the county attorney has been, in a measure, at least, false to his trust that he has been "monkeying" with the saloon men. and that it is a little thin to let them off without paying: any fine, in view of their loner continued and ooen violation of law. Mr. Gilluly claims that Dr. Gillman did not hear the agreement between himself and Mr.

Lord at least not the final agreement And, too, that his obiection to Mr. Keeler's reten tion was that Mr. McUammon was already actinr as assistant. He also shows a letter from A. G.

Bramwzll, "journalist and wool-grower," as the Champion face tiously puts it, is in jail at Atchison, charged with a twelve or thirteen hundred dollar forgery.

He was then, as the few the Champion says, "a happy-go-lncky': sort of a fellow, always making the Our pri- vate opinion then was that he would sooner or later unng up ngui wuere he is, or in a worse place. He was fond of his grog, and his regard for the principle, of moraHty and good citizenship was exceedingly slack, and from his own conversation we doubt not that he has fleeced many a -xt i a TY1DT1 TJTTF1 I11U 111 MI1HIIIHI I I I I tr I Its. 1.

I UiCeVU. A I'M v- er unprincipled schemes. W. T. Foster, of Albia, Iowa, the ominent weather prophet of the Hawkeye state, was in the city Men day, and paid us a very agreeable visit He was on his way home from a lecturiner tour the southern and western tart of this state, lie is the author of the prediction that m-prt, storms will prevail in various parts of the United States, commenc ing on the 25th inst.

He says the storms will be less severe in the re gions swept over by the January storm, and consequently, this section will suffer less than the rejHons north and east of us. It is well, al ways, for a prophet of any kind to at a his predictions as slightly ca lamitous as possible in a community where he is visiting. Mr. Foster, how-probably as well versed in meteorological science as any man in tne country, naving maae a Bjjecitu study for the past ten years, and as a general thiner hn forecasts of the weather are ouite accurate. We shall watch the latest predictions with un usual interest, now that we have seen and know the author of them.
