It is amusing to see the contortions of

in the road near Mr. True's house last
Saturday evening. He was born in New

now has children residing. He was an
inoffensive, civil old gentleman, who had
worked for his board at Mr. True's for

Mr. Kipp was left in charge of the

from the house, in the road, where it is
supposod he had went in search of the
cows. Coroner Thomas was immediately

Hoover's Store at I.ouiHvillc Broken
Open and Robbed.
Yesterday morning Sheriff Johnson
received notice that Capt. Hoover's
store at Louisville had been entered the
night previous and a quantity of goods
taken therefrom. The Sheriff and
officer Frank Williams started .about
two o'clock yesterday, in a carriage, for
the scene of the robbery. Arriving there
they soon made up their minds who the
guilty parties were, and proceeded to
take them into custody. They arrested
Thos. Kelley and James Barry, both of
whom had been recently discharged from
work on the railroad. ail were "lying
about loose" in the neighborhood. The
arrest proved that the officers had been
correct in their surmises, for a large
quantity of the stolen goods were found
upon their persons. They were brought
to the city this morning. A complaint
was made before Judge Child and the
parties were brought before him for ex
amination. After proceeding with a
p.irt of the examination to-da-, they
were committed for further examination
to-morrow morning. Thev had entere.l
the store through the window, and had
cirried off somewhere near 'M worth of
goods, so far as could be ascertained.
Sheriff Johnson informs us that officer
W illiams rendered him invaluable servi

We understand that arrangements

a sufficient amount of city orders can be

to purchase the lamps. The lignhting of
the principal streets is a project which
every euizen. and especially every bu
ucss man, should feel an interest in, and it
is hoped the business men of the city
will take enough city orders, at a reason
able discount, to insure the lighting of
the streets. The posoline is said to be
very much cheaper than coal oil, and it
certainly produces a far better light.

We noticed some time since that Mr.

and that he had commenced the erec
tion of a very tine building to be devoted
to that purpose. We are now able to
state that the brick work is completed,
and that thi work of finishing off the
building has commenced. The building
has advanced so far that Mr. Patterson
feels justified in announcing to the pub
lie, as he docs through the Herald,
that the fall term of the Institute will
commence on the 13th ot bert less
than one month. Mr. 1'atterson is enti
tled to the thanks of every parent in this
part of the State for his untiring enerirv
in this matter, for the school will be of
incalculable benefit to this section.
Mr. Patterson has established an
enviable reputation as a teacher
and what is of fir greater
importance, he is a man of great moral
worth. Punils placed under his care at
tte Naomi Institute will receive as good i
moral training as at home, and many of
them tar better. Ihe Institute is very
favorably located, as pupils will be far re
moved from the allurements of vice so
common in large towns. There is not a

There is no subject ac the present time
that should receive more earnest and ab
sorbing attention by our people than that
of the system of public instruction in
the State of Nebraska. Our State is
young, and while we would not expect it
to excel or even equal older States, yet,
in educational matters, we expect the
fruits of education to ripen earlier in
this State than they have in any other.
Can we not avoid the crooked paths that
tficy have made in the past and are
making now? Can we not "avoid the
evil, and cleave to the good, "or must
we spend years in perfecting a system of
public instruction ? I propose to exam
ine one of the many evils in our present
method of public instruction : And
permit me to say here that this is an
evil which is found, not only in this
great State, but in many others. I'he
evil of which I shall sneak is no other
than that which I shall denominate the
vcord for word method.
When I was young the teacher that
required his pupils to give their lessons
rhemorily, in the exact words of the
book, w?as considered by many the best
teacher. If the idea was corretly ex
pressed, it went for nothing in the teach
ers' s estimation if it was not clothed
with the exact language of the text book.
This over taxing of the memory, and the
attendant physical restraint and endu
rance, with no mental results but stupid,
meaningless words, made school life irk
some. The aversion that I formed for this
disgusting method of using books, lias
induced me to try other plans and intro
duce other methods less disheartening
and more rational ; methols that would
make school life comfortable and attract
ive, and the acquisition ot knowledge at
least tolerable, if not inviting
You never find students well posted
on any subject when they are required to
swallow all that one author has to say on
the subject and no more. Whenever
you find a teacher who has adopted one
book as an ultimate standard, on any
given science, at the same time pro
nouncing every opinion wrong that does
not tally in every particular with his fa
vorite author, you will find a teacher
that does not thoroughly understand
that science, and who cannot correctly
interpret the views of the author whom
he so blindly follows. A one-book man
is too narrow minded to understand any
subject thoroughly. He might justly be
called a blind bigot, full of posi
tive assertions, and ostentatious
egotism. If such a man should
(unfortunately for the county) occupy
the office of County Superintendent,
this accidental election to official posi
tion by no means mitigates the evil. He
was once intolerable, now abusive. He
was in the school room unreasonable,
now in his official capacity, tyranical.
This man following this indiscrete course
injures no one but himself.
I do not wish my reader to understand
that I denominate all teachers, who use
but one text booh in their classes, one
booh teachers. I would be far from mak
ing an assertion of this kind. Tho use
of a single text book is in most cases
necessar' in our common schools; but
the true teacher will make himself per
fectly familiar with the leading authors
upon the subject before him before he
comes to the recitation so that he may be
better prepared to interpret his author
for the benefit of the class. If he dosn't
help them in some measure to under
stand the subject before them, his work
as a teacher is a failure.
I have shown how the true teacher
prepares himself for his work, and main
tains his own interest in every subject,
by keeping thoroughly posted in the
latest and best authorities. He carries
an ardent and progressive spirit to his
recitations, and he will not fail to excite
a corresponding interest in his lipups.
it lie criticizes his text book, it is in a
spirit of candor and liberality; and his
own opinions, when differing' from the
text book (for text books are not infalli
ble) are sustained by satisfactory reason
ing and not egotistical assumption.
The use of one text book in a class is
not incompatible with thoroughness, pro-
tded the teacher is not a one-book
teacher. Where one book is the text
for any science, I would recommend
works of refference. These may be fur
nished from the teachers private library or
the public library, it one is accessible.
This will enhance the thoroughness of
the class instruction by awakening a
stronger interest in the dcveloinent and
mastery of airy subject on which the
class are engaged.
I will illustrate one method by an ex
ample. I will assume that the class are
in discriptive Geogn-phy, and that the
lesson assigned is a description of Weir's
cave, in Virginia. Now let the class be
requested to report on this subject the
next day. The teacher will see that the
pupils are supplied with the necessary
reflerencc books a History of Virginia,
Physical Geography, Enciclopcdia or
any others that may contain the desired
information.
All the purils may report the next day
or if there is a want td' a sufficient num
ber of books, a rart of the class may re
port upon that subject ami another part
report upon some other subject, and stii
another upon another subject. Thus
cny topic, particular or general, can be
discussed aud thoroughly understood by
the proper use ot reference books, it be
ing obvious that no one text book can be
very thorough, in its treatment of any
one subject.
It may be affirmed b3 some that all
such collateral information should be
given in lectures by the teacher. If
delivery of a lecture is beneficial, whv
should not the pupil have the benefit
derived from the delivery of these lec
tures, as they might be called. Your
lecturing teacher is a perpetual nuisance,
palsying all healthy effort and prevent
ing an real development in nis class.
Ihere is no thoroughness without suf
ficient interest and enthusiasm to secure
earnest and persistent effort to
grapple and master a subject.
'J here are many other methods in the
use ot reference books by pupils, much
more exciting and effective than the one
desenbed above, for drawing out the
latent powers of every pupil in the class.
Want of space foabids my describing
them here. 1 have given but this one
method, susceptible of the widest appli
cation, the one that can with suitable
modifications (whieh the good sense of
any live teacher will suggest) be made
available in all branches taught in any
school, and in all grades of classes that
are old enough to study prescribed les
sons. If schools were taught by men and
women that were up with the times, by
persons who study to make teaching a
profession, and not a stepping stone to
matrimony or something else, they
would be a most effective means of re
forming those far gone in wickedness
and depravity and not be the means of
provoking vicious practices and entailing
destructive habits. Where is the
teacher that will say that we do not need
a reform and who will be the first to
start the reformation ? C. C.

flu"i ""ww it was iuuuu iuu uium-
inee there
appeared an article iu the Herald over
the signature of "C. C." denouncing the
present system of examinations, and
sweepingly proclaiming the teachers ef
our schools as being incompetent to per
form the duties of their chosen vocations.
While I am not prepared to believe in
the incompetency of teachers generally,
I must confess that sympathy calls me
to have compassion on "C. C." in his
misfortunes in not having had teachers
capable of imparting such instruction as
wuuia ueiier quainy mm lor preparing
an article on the subject of examinations,
lie seems to have been particularly un
fortunate in not having had the benefit
ot a good school. I candidly believe
that if there has been no fault on hi
own part, that his teacher should never
have had a certificate.
In these times, when a text book on
grammar can be bought for a few cents.
it appears stiange that any one who is de
sirous of writing for the benefit of the
public, should be guilty of such ridicu
lous solecisms as the following : "Have
you been marked incorrect?" ''Persons
that were worse than none." "Not
where there was no principle involved."
lis the quack ignoramus," &c. But it
is not my uurnose to criticise thr writor.
but to refute only a few of the many er
rors which his fuerile pen has attempted
to teach. It is rather difficult to discov
er what object the writer had in vipw.
whether to apologize for the ignorance
of some, who may be trying to hold the
position ot teachers without properqual
lhcations. or denounce the method in
which Superintendents conduct examin
ations as now established by law, or deny
to School boards the sagacitv of discern
ing in applicants, for scnools, those quali
ties which they may possess for govern
ing and nistsructir g pupils.
v. . complains that axammers
give the best certificates to the one "who
knows the most." If this is wrong, I
suppose, to fulfill "C. C.'s" desires, ex
aminers would have to ignore the claims
ot the learned.
"Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to
be wise." Now as to the plea for un
learned teachers, I would answer that
the teacher should be an individual
ot great research and profound erudition.
If a person desires the services of a law
yer, he seeks one who is thoroughly
erscu in an the intricacies ol jurispru
dence. Should he attend church he is
desirous that the minister should be fa
miliar with the science of homiletics.
Why, then, not have the teacher educa
ted in all the branches he is required to
teach.
I think that all will agree that it is im
possible for anj'-one to excel as a teacher
unless he has previously acquired a store
of knowledge from which he may daily
draw the great truths of science.
"C. C.' asks "what should be the object
of examinations? To discover whether
a person is competent to teach or simply
to ascertain what knowledge he has of
the branches ? To find out whether he
has ability to do what he proposes, or
merely whether he has committed to
memory the answers given to the ques
tions in some 'text book?"' The prin
cipal object in examinations .'ho ild be to
ascertain the applicant's qualifications
both natural and acquired. That indi
vidual whom nature has endowed with
faculties which lead him as by impulsion
to study and acquire a complete knowl
edge ot all that pertains to the profession
he has chosen to follow, is certainly the
best prepared to enter upon the duties
of that profession ; and for the very rea
son that nature has given hi:n an intel
lect capable of great improvement and
the impulse of genius has Jed him on to
cultivate arid adorn his mind, he will be
very apt to be successful in the vocation
in which he may choose to engage. And
there cannot be devised a mo.e appro
priatc method for ascertaining such a
person's qualifications than the present
system of examinations. 1 1 has been tried,
and has riie heaity approval of the most
distinguished educators, both in this
country and Europe. It seems to be the
prevailing custom of illiterate persons to
deride the merits of certain studious
persons whom thev denominate
' book-worms." I would not pretend to
.... .
say that the act ot following written
characters by the eye, without, calling
into active use the faculties of the mind
will be productive of much good. But
I will assert, as a historical fict that
those men who have been the greatest
poets, orators, statesmen and teachers
who have been the greatest ornament to
the human species, have been the hardest
workers ana the most constant, at their
studies. The most obvious reason why
they have surpassed the rest of man
kind, is that they have been more dili
gent in the use of their time,
Thucydldcs, Sallust, Tacitus, Hume,
Gibbon, Bobertson r.nd Bancroft the
most illustrious historians, whose humor
tal works will instruct and delight man
kind to the last generation, spent their
1. 1 1 . 1

Aewton, Jjeibnitz, Oalileo, Kepler,
Franklin and Pascal who performed such
great revolutions in science were almost
constantly at their books, and the great
truths whieh they unfolded and gave to
the world for its instruction were but the
rich harvests of golden grain acquired
by many a midnight lucubration.

orators and statesmen the human race
has produced, accumulated and arranged
in order by means of close application
those burning words against tyranny and
wrong whioh will be read in all ages and
countries wherever civilization and lib
ert' have taken up their abode. The
great poets Homer, Horace, Milton,
v lrgu, iyron and Shakespeare were
thoroughly acquainted with all the knowl
edge of their times, and wherever the
charming and sublime influences of poe
try consoles sorrow or soothes grief.
wherever it brings gladness to eyes which
weep in wakefulness and tears, and ache
for the dark bouse and long sleep, there
is exhibited in its noblest form, the im
mortal influence of these sublime poets,
The great instructors of the ancients
who assembled in the groves of ihe acad
emy were said to have constantly a book
in their hand, ihey loved to peruse
the works of the philosophers ; to pon
der ovcr the demonstrations of Jhuclid s
Geometry or to reflect upon the eonicsec-
tionsof Apollc nius. I might easily multi
ply the above lUt, and show that what is
true or these ulnstrious teachers ot man
kind is also true of all who may aspire
to the high and holy calling ot a teach
er; and that the real teacners 01 the
. - . 1 M 1
human race are the earnest workers, or
such as ignorance might denominate
book-worms." But without further
expatiating on the meritorious Tonduct
of those great luminaries that have
emitted the celestial sparks of knowl
edge for the education, guidance and
comfort of human kind. 1 may assert
that in the productions of the mind, as
in the soil, the gifts ot nature are ex
celled by industry and skill ; that genius
may iossibb anticipate the season of ma
turity but in the education of a people,
memory must first be exercised before
the powers of reason and fancy can be
expanded : nor may the artist hope to
equal or surpass till he has learned to
imitate the works of his predecessors.
I have thus cursorily descanted on only
EXAMINATIONS.

EXAMINATION.
"Tiulh will prevail, nnd justice shi.w.
How tardy honors sure but slow.
Ic:ir on bear bravely nu 1"
Mil. Editor : One who publicly ex
poses (he defects of a pit system of ex
aminations, renders himse'f liable to
such obloquy as is cast upon Canaan
But it is in no jeering spirit that the
task of exposure is undertaken, and the
hope that its performance may stir up
some filial Shetns and Japtheth to re
move the cause, overcomes in my mind
all fear of the parental curse.
The examiner that took exception to
my views on our present system of ex
aminations (as expressed in my artL-le
upon that subject,) appears to have a
prejudice agahi.-t any outside criticism of
his method of examinations, "so old and
illustrious." I was not criticising the
examiners, and feel very sorry that such
a homely shoe should tit one so well.
He says his system of examinations "is
sanctioned by a generation of the best
teachers and ablest scholars." He
thinks "it is presumptious that we can
suggest any improvement in it." But
is not folly as well as wisdom transmitted
from generation to feneration? Should
not education be adapted to the charac
ter and needs of the mind to which it is
1.1.1
appneu ; aim as tnose minus change in
their character and wants, should' not
examinations undergo a corresponding
change, in order that we may ascertain
the teacher's ability to teach the children
of the present day?
It is not a matter of the highest im
portance (as my friend seems to think)
that a student should carry from school
a considerable store of knowledge, but it
is of the highest importance 'that he
should enter upon active lile possessing
a mind capable of concentrated atten
tion, of firm and accurate grasp of facts,
and of rea and correct reasoning. So
wj say let parents keep complaining, un
til the schools adapt themselves to the
general want. But our teachers' ex
aminations are constantly sending out
persons who are utterly unfit for the
work, and waste not only money but do
their part toward effecting the ruin of
the children entrusted to their care. If
a teacher "didn't do one bit of good,"
(a common remark respecting teachers)
is it to be supposed that the teacher "did
no harm," or did he not do what teach
ers so often do, "just ruin the school?"
W hy don t the people, open their eyes?
Why do examiners try to hide the facts
from the people?
In former davs 1 knew an examiner
who prided himself on his thorough
knowledge of Webster's spelling book :
and iroe to the candidate who was not
well posted in the "first part" and "last
part ot that spelling book ; whatever
else the candidate might know or might
not know mattered little, if lie was de
fective in the "first paif or "last part."
have found that one of these in more
recent times ha." passed from the soel-
in book as f;ir as into English Grammar.
This examiner swe irs bv some text booh.
and ly ta'di cr a part of a sentence, ac
cuses me of making use of llridicidon
so'ecisnf." Take as an example he fo'-
owing, which is taken verbatim from
my manuscript, viz: iou will find none
but tl.e veriest quack or the most hope
less ignoramus to claim that he knows
everything. Such men as Newton and
Aggasiz are the ones that most fre
quently say "I don't know." Exam
iners and teachers should not ride a
hobby to death. It does not take much
common sense to discover that
such hobgoblin performances don't
do much, in favor either of Knowledge
or virtue.
'"When ynu slick on frrnininiitii-:il burrs.
Don't ctrew your path with rhetorical ur."
In those times, when a dictionary can
b" bought for a few cents, it appears
very strange that one who is an examiner
should place the word sympathy in the
connection "I must confess that sympa
thy," &c
"W. A. 1" tells us what Xewton
(the one that says I don't know) and
others "acquired" by many a midnight
lucubration. Has he read the history of
all those men named in his
ficfef If so he must know
that as far as miduiclr
lucubrations are concerned they are fail
ures. I have the testimony of some of
the best physicians and educators in the
world to bear me out with this state
ment, that carfy rising and study before
breakfast is immensely more economical
than study at night into late hours. lie
would have our teachers and students
sleep in the morning when the physical
energies are tne nigncst ; and make study
a midnight lucubration. This "mid
night hicubration" of his will account for
his production having the appearance of
being written by one who was very de
sirous of seeing how he might look in
print.
Teacher, morning studv is letter than
night study, "W. A. P." to the contra
ry, notwithstanding.
lie says, "why not have the teacher
educated in all the branches he is re
quired to teach." My first article an
swers this. And while we would re-affirm
what we stated in our first article.
that a teacher should posse -w a proper
knowledge of all the branches he ex ieets
to teach;" yet there are other qualifica
tions more important than book knowl
edge and such qua'ifications as your
system of examination will never dis
cover.
Much was said in mv friend's article
about thoroughness (book worms). It is
not mere knowledge that confers power
upon man. Knowledge is onry an ac
quaintance with facts. One may know
all the facts in the universe, and still be
unable to apply them. So mav
a teacher or pupil acquire a mechanical
knowledge ot the branches with but lit
tle mental result. When a young man
leaves school and goes out into the world,
me question that settles the busiuess
with hini is not how much does he know,
but what can he do with what
he does know Newton,
Leibuitj', Galileo, Franklin and
Pascal were not men with their brain
full of old lumber that could not be ap
plied to the actual business ot life. Jet
the mind be well disciplined once, and it
is sure not only to acquire lacts but to
assimilate them.
It is manifest then that any plan of
education, any course of training, to be
what it claims to be, what it ought to be,
must be brought into working harmony
with the faculty's susceptibilities and
true ends of our being, as revealed by
the teachings of experience and the
light of the gospel, lefore it will enable
the possessor to icork from choice, rather
than necessity: and will give him the
highest satisfaction and success in any
call ng he my decide to adopt, will make
his lite a joy to himself and his family, a
blessing to the community in which he
lives, an honor to his country and race.
In order to find teachers that will excite
in their pupils a glowing enterprise, we
would have a different system of exam
inations.
