Nemaha County.
HARMONIOUS EDUCATION.
MIND AND BODY.
Between the mind and body there
is n mutual dependency. The' are
interwoven like warp and woof.
They twain are- one being. Man's
nature is dual, yet a unit. Perhaps it
would be more correct to say he is a
trinity. Paul, the inspired educator
so considers him. His ideal of edu
cation, is, the soul body and' spirit
blameless. This is the true idea. The
entire man developed and cultured
so that he is blameless.
God, or spirit takers, as a fact, as
an intelligence, together with a man
ifestation in tangible, visible forms,
always involves a trinity. Man, as
an intelligence, manifested through
forms partakes of this three-fold na
ture. There will be no use made of
this idea here, theologically, any far
ther than is necessary to show that
the entire of this three-fold nature,
must be trained before there can be a
harmonious education, or in other
words before the man is blameless.
CHRISTIANITY
Is an educational system, wonder-
derfully adapted to the vailed condi
tions of the human mind. "Whoever
places himself under the discipline of
this system, will find himself "thor
oughly furnished unto every good
word and work.'' That is, furnished
with a disposition to'engage in every
good undertaking for the benefit of
man. Not only good word but good
work. That is the distinguishing
feature in the christian system. It
teaches an industrial education.
This system cannot be a failure for
it is devised by divine wisdom. Other
systems fail although there may be
good in them ; because they are plan
ned by beings of very limited knowl
edge. There are, to be sure, some de
cided failures in those vho say they
are being instructed in the christian
system. The cause of their failure is
a delusive faith apart from good
works, which is no part of christian
teaching. Whoever is deceived with
this false doctrine will of a necessity
be a failure. "Faith without works
is dead." The introduction of the
christian system here may have the
appearance of not being legitimate to
the .-uliject being discussed in this pa
per. The use designed to be made of
it, is to argue that there cannot be a
a harmonious education without this
svstem. The foundation of the one
must be the foundation of the other
that is, the observance of the two
great commandments, love to God
and love to man. God must be con
sidered the father of the human fam
ily, and that all mankind is a brother
hood. It matters not what individu
al character is, or what individual
destiny may be, growing out of char
acter, yet each individual must be
acknowledged a brother or a sister,
and treated as such. Without this
there cannot bo any magnanimous ef
for's made to elevate the race, with
any positive assurance of success.
HARMONY OF MIND.
To have harmony of mind a person
must have a high estimation of hK
own worth. There is danger of be
ing misunderstood here. And it
might be well to say distinctly, that
the disposition of mind which ison-
tinualli' saying "I am liolier thai:
thou" shows littleness of soul and is
justly condemned. Yet no one need
expect a high culture who has not
set a great value upon himself. "Who
would do an unjust, unwise, unkind
thing who h:d a hitch estimate of
himself? To defraud, defame, un-der-valuc,
or tinder-rate another, iV
virtunlly saying, I have a very low
estimate of myself. A person should
have such an elevated regard for him
self that he would scorn to do a dis
honest, dishonorable deed.
SELF GOVERNMENT
Ts the great secret of success in the
aducator. Many undertake to be
moral teachers who are all inharmo
nious and discordant themselves.
They cannot succeed except in form
ing more inharmonious characters
It is useless and absurd for them to
gay, do as I say, not as I do. It is
true their conduct may not affect the
principle of right and wrong, yet it
does effect making them practical.
Each one should study himself, see
his own defect- ee t tic beam in
his own eye, then endeavor to reme
dy these defects take the beam out
of his own eye. then he may be pre
pared to teach, to govern others not
till then. Each one should try and
get something of an estimate of bl
own powers, then resolve to mak
the most of him-elf, that the possi
bilities of liis nature should allow,
lie should draw and use all influen
ce', control all his surroundings to
effect, lawfully, this end.
MAN DEMANDS EDUCATION.
There are sources whence can be
found supplies to meet all the de
mands of men for education. Nature
always furnishes a supply for every
demand. So the very desire for an
object, proves the existence of the
object desired. There is no greater
evidence of immortality than this.
Man could not have had an apira-
. tion that wav, if it were
' - '
Ins nature sending lt3
not a fact of
demands for
things capable of satisfying the im
mortal spirit. "What is called matter,
is passing through continual chang
es; putting on an innumerable vari
ety of forms of beauty, loveliness,
grandeur and sublimity. The bu
man body has an affinity, it may be
called, a chemical affinity for all the
multitudinous forms of nature, for it
is formed of the same elements, and
subject to the same laws. And the
soul responds to these diversified
forms with a thrill of conscious joy.
There is no influence or object which
affects the body, but what reaches
the inner Jife the spirit and im
presses it there. Then by reaction
growing out of the mutual relation of
mind and body, the body is affected
by the condition of the sriirit.
UAF HABITS INJUIUOUS. PRACTICES.
How wry carefully then should
the human body be guarded against
the evil influences of bad habits, in
jurious practices, and from being
placed in surroundings destructive to
health; for all these things affect the
soui, or the immortal part, and the
condition of spirit decides the desti
ny of the individual for happiness or
misery. This intimate relation be
tween soul and body, enables the
spirit to tell its condition in the hu
man form and write its thoughts and
affections in the human face. And
those who will educate themselves in
these things, may know by lookingat
a person, what manner of individual
he or she may be. A beautiful and
ucful study, truly. Well would it
be for each man and woman to med
itate fit morn, and noon, and night,
the great truth conveyed in those
words of the Apo-,tle "Know ye not,
ye are temples of the holy spirit;
therefore make your bodies fit tem
ples for the holy spirit to dwell in."
Then for a man to have a harmoni
ous education, iie must have an
ACQUAINTANCE WITH THE SCIENCES.
Science, is just the phenomena of na
ture or of mind. And strictly speak
ing there is but one science. That
would take in the operations of na
ture and manifestation of mind. For
the sake of convenience, certain
kinds of phenomena have been class
ed together, and called by a certain
name. Yet no one science can be
studied independent of tho others.
The chemical action and changes
which are observed in the formation,
growtli and decay of the diversified
forms in the vegetable and animal
creation, are witnessed in the human
body. For animal structures, veget
able formation, floral brauties, the
mineral treasures, the ocean's forces,
the electric currents, all contribute to
form the wondrous human system.
Then to correctly educate the body
nature must be studied, and her laws
obeyed. The study of the sciences,
or phenomena of nature, not only in
structs in some of the mysteries of
creation, but reveals ft creating and
forming power God ; "For the in
visible things of Him from the crea
tion of the world are clearly seen, be
ing understood by the things that are
made."
SYSTEMS OF EDUCATION.
Besides the educational influences
of nature revealed in science, men
have devised systems of education.
Ciil government is a plan, with the
ostensitde de.-ign of being a terror to
evil doers; a refuge for the unprotect
ed, a tribunal where grievances may
be redressed, Gild did it do what it
promises, it might be a mighty poWer
for good. JJtit wnen uie King--is ai
fool, or a tj .'ant, the people will fiavef
i ..ii m. tif it:.. i
to go down into an un-igufiuiiiuiuii,
and sillier all mo mer oi a i rati-
nical government. "When the tin- j lin;Kestirin pertaining to the bu
godley rule the land mourneth." As ine7n which you are about to en
long as magistrates to rule the na
tions, are chosen with reference to
their intellectual capacity and scho
lastic training, without regard to
rheir moral and religious culture, so
long will wicked legislatures send
their corrupting streams into every
,is,.,!itinn of human' society. Until
the pcop:e a:e .w b' , ys
rulers, who are good men -moral, re-T
llions, temperance men so longwil!
i ....... . : i
ooor, neglected children be left to
grow' up uneducated, except in vice,
to curse society with their evil hab
its and way, because governm -nt
upon which they have a claim, refu
ses to give the aid they need ; so long
ts men are taken into the councils of
tho nation who neglect to give pro
tection to property, person and char
ter, which are endangered by drunk
enness and some other vices, 'o long
will society be corrupted with the
abominations of the people. Until
religious teavhers speak out in fear
less words against the wicked legis
lation which leaves untouched some
of the greatest evils in the land, and
speak out boldly against wickedness
in high places, as did the Master, and
join with us educators and moral re
formers, in educating the people, and
leave their speculative thology for
their private entertainment, until
they do this, they will be a useless
class of men, and worse than ueles.
They will be but "sounding bras
and tinkling cymbms." The time
lias come for all to work, or fall back
and give place for oihers who will
work.
The most Important educational
plan devised by human wisdom, is
the
COMMON SCHOOL SYSTEM,
for it takes the infant man in an ear-
lv state of his development, both of
body and mind. The ednpation he
then receives, from any source will
give tendencies to formation of char
acter, which decides his de-tiny for
com ins time. The importance of cor-,
rect school systems for the proper ed
ucation of both mind and body, can
not be over valued; its entire value
cannot be estimated, for the conse
quences it involves, cannot be com
prehended fully by the finite mind,
rhe history of this school pystem
shows a variety of plans used ; some
J beneficial, some injurious. The good
done cannot be all expressed by the
readiest pen, or most eloquent tongue.
ONE KVIL
may be mentioned, which has been a
great draw back, and has had a blight
ing influence in school training. It
is the neglect to observe that which
hould be first considered tho condi
tions favorablep a healthy develop
ment of the body ; such as suitably
large and convenient school houses;
pure air, sun-light, and sun-heat,
and physical exercise. It is too oft
en the case that it is said that schol
ars arc learning very fast, thoir mind
is beingimproved when it is evident
their bodies are degenerating, no pos
sible good can come.of this, for the
reaction soon takes place, and the
mind is injured by the condition of
the body.
When the welfare of the body is
provided for, then a harmonious cul
ture should commence. By this is
meant, means taken to develope all
the faculties of the mind ; properly
arrange and harmonize the knowl
edge already gained. This requires
wisdom in the readier. Many have
knowledge and attainments sufficient
but lack wisdom, to make a practical
arraignment of them. Indeed it is
wisdom which humanity wants in
its political leaders its religious
teachers its educators, Boaa to make
practical the knowledge possessed by
men and women, that they may
study the laws which govern their
being, ami obey them, so as to be
self governed.

21r. Editor : Tf you please, I would
like a correction made in the fourth
resolution that was unanimously
adopted at the Directors' Convention,
on Saturday, April 6th. The resolu
tion should read as follows :
Resolved, That in employing teach
ers, care should be exercised to select
the best, and, other thing- bcintr
equal, the grade of certificate should
be the tva't. stud the rate of compen
sation for teachers should only be lim
ited by the means :.t command, and
graded according to qualification ; and
that we consider about S-10 per month
of twenty days, in our common dis
trict schools, a fair compensation.
Now, the idea was to settle, as far
as we were concerned, the number of
days constituting a school month, as
the question has been asked time and
again. The law, however, is passive
on the question, and our object was
to settle that matter, as far as it con
cerned us. Custom has, also, made
twenty days a school month. How
ever, it docs not prohibit directors
from employing teachers for twenty
two days to the month, or even more,
when it is mentioned in the contract;
but when it ij not mentioned, then
our understanding is that twenty
days constitute a school month.
Yours,
A DiitECTor..

Mym Dear Young Tcat-hers .-At

you will waste a gieat deal of tinit
and much iabor, with half the effi

have.
I would not make a parade of nn
authority, telling my pupils what
they must do and what they mu.-i
not do. Neither would F bring tom
d -k hickorv sticks or rsv. h.'ies, o:
other implements of that sort. It i-po-iblc
that in some cases you ma
have to fall back upon such means ol
governing and whip a refractory pu
pil into obedience, but I should de
pend, for the most part, upon mor-i'
means of controlling my scholar. Ai
the outset I would try to establish in
the minds of all, the notion of self
control and voluntary performance ol
duty. Encourage in every possible
way their self-respect and in'-pin.
them with that noble pride of doing
right simply because it is right, and
because it please- you to have them
do so. You will see how much i
lot to the child, in educational value,
where the opposite course is taken
where right action is compelled and
obedience secured through fear of
punishment.

Or, 1 mil died underneath a thorn.

O'er lurrows striding:, scorns tho cold,
And with his horses two abreast,
Makes the teen plow do his behest.
Roucli March comes blusterlnsr down the
In his. wratny hand the oxen goad road.
Or, with a rough and angry htiote.
Scatters the seed o'er the dark waste,

Trips full of little piny Hit wiles;
And laiiKhimj, 'neatli her rainbow hood'
Seeks, the wild violets in the wood.

Watching the lambs leap in the dells;

Jlox'es o'er the clover He'd apace.
And fast his crescent scythe lie's thrown
O'er spots from whence the lark has

Laughs to see t he com groxv yellow ;

From hls'right hand as ia a cup.

Through golden waves to break of day;

Health is good in this Vicinity.
Weather warm and pleasant, and a
few persons have commenced break

Red Cloud, our county seat, is sit

publican river, about six miles north
of the Kansas line. We have al
ready two dry goods and grocery
stores, one drug store, one hotel, and
one blacksmith shop, and all are do
ing a good business.
Our Township Assessor is making
his first rounds in this town-hip.
Onr farmers have just finished sow
ing wheat and oats, the first crop of
the kind in this county.
Musquitoes have already made their
appearance. Their bills are not haul
enough to rtenotrate the skin of "wc

perhaps, go hard with the new com
ers. (Jrain and country produce is not
so high hero as in Harlan county,
judging from your last week's corres

only selling f-'r 61.00 per bushel ; oats

A Diamond IHlne In n Bruiili Handle.
Asentleman in Augusta, Georgia,

vin-' brish from a druggist in tha

While the child was p!:yin with it,
the top came uusciewed, and in the
hollow handle a valuable diamond
was discovered set in the wont!, and
carefully covered with pink cotton.
The exact value of the stone is not
known, but is or pure water and good
size. There are many conjectures a4
to how the giMii came to be in the
handle of the brush, the most plausi
ble of which is that it, was placed

them under t tie rso-M f the cu-tom

suspicions of the latter. Afterward
the en terpri.simr jeweler forgot to re
move some of the jewels, and the
brushes went into the hands of the
