EDUCATION IN CLEVELAND.
Cleveland is boasting of its schools.
It lias twenty-eight school houses, val
ued at 1,698.22. Eight male and two
hundred and sixty-eight female teach
ers are employed, teaching forty weeks
for a year. There arc enrolled 15,083
pupils, and the daily attendance is 06
per cent. The annual expenses of
teachers is S131, 350.19, audi the total
expenses for all purposes last year was
63i9.lGG.74. Ex.
CLOBESrlLINEMAPS, AND
CHARTS.
As auxiliaries in the study of Geog
raphy there is nothing that can fill the
place of a god Globe or Outline Maps.
The Globe, is the world in miniature,
and without it the complex or double
revolution of the earth is difficult of
explanation.
Even the simplest revolution of the
Earth, the effect of which the smallest
child is conscious at a very early age,
is better illustrated by the use- of a
Globe. In fact our maps which are
constituted upon a plane, furnish the
mind a very poor idea of the revolu
tions of our planet; we had almost
said that they furnish no idea at all.
The idea of form is suggested by the
figure before the man's eye, and the
form of the map linust necessarily sug
gest to the student of geography, the
idea of the form which the Earth as
sumes. What we v.oul'd ask would be
Ihe form of the Earth's surface as sug
gested br tbis representation? Now
the Globe, or rather its foi m would
suggest to the mind the real form of
the Earth as nearly as can be repre
sented by a spherical figure. Again
the Globe may not be exclusively con
fined to the illustration of Geography,
but may also be used in illustrating
"Longitude and Time," as taught i:i
our text-books on arithmetic. A'e
have found no means cf illustrating
the theory vZ ' Longitude and Time,"
to tveli adapted as the Globe.
Principles which might otherwise
remain hidden from the mind of the
student, are beautifully illustrated by
the use of the Globe.
Outline Maps are very important for
the use of schools, in the study of Geog
raphy. By the use of those pupils will
goon become expert at locating coun
tries, mountains, rivers, cities, &c, &c.
Very youny children will soon learn
the outlines of countries and can soon
with a precision and accuracy surpris
ing, locate different places.
besides the advantages which the
members of sc" ools receive. Outline
Maps adorn a school-room. Instead of
bare and naked walls, the rye of every
pupil is everywhere greeted with a
mark, outline i or color which furnishes
food for thought, and that thought
soon embodies in the form of an idea,
tf kind, forrri, ahd p'iace. Ifext we
would mention charts as among the
articles of schoolroom paraphernalia,
a:ul which constitute one of the great
est auxiliaries in elementary instruct
ion. Heading Charts, in our opinion,
fchould take the place of the Primer.
Young children when starting to school
are generally supplied with primers,
und in a very short time these primers
have become useless. Xow, reading
Charts, which combine the word meth
od would obviate the necessity of pa
rents buying primers for the very
young children, and these Charts when
hung ou the wall and properly taken
Varo of would last for several years.
A whole class of, say from ten to
twelve children, could recite at the
same time, and thus save the time of
the teacher. The Charts would be
come the text-books of these children,
and thus thse booki would, when ex
posed on the walls of the school-room,
be open for use all the time.
A few dollars invested in these
charts would save an aggregate ex
pense to the patrons of double, yes,
triple the cost of the Charts. A few
collars invested by the districts in
Globes, Outline Maps, and Charts
would supply a neel felt by every
teacher, and at the same time materi
ally assist the sehohus of the districts
and in the same ratio build up and
elevate the educational standard of the
locality.
""TAitmNtei""
and the school would bo ia a Woraa
condition than when it began.
Parents, for the most trivial excused
will keap thoir children at home for
days and even weeks.
They are too indifferent 03 to the
education of their offspring. They do
not consider that tile time of their
children at school is of the highest
value, yet they acknowledge the good
and importance of education. How
very strange, then, that while parents
believe in education, they should
thus retard its progress by indulgence
toward their children I
Were parents to look at the educatioii
of their children as they do to their
finances, how differently would be our
schools. There would not bo so many
obstacles with which teachers have to
contend. Good school houses should
be furnished with apparatus charts,
map, desks, &e. &o. Good teachers
would be employed; good wages paid,
and every one would get a good educa
tion. It is a good plan to have singing
some thirty minutes before your school
opens in the morning to prevent tardi
ness at that time, as most children like
to sing, and if it is possible they will
be there.
We clip the following from A. S.
Barnes & Co's. Educational Bulletin:
"On the Chinese rivers the fishermen
lire in boats. They keep large flocks
of geese, which during the day forage
abroad, and during the night sleep on
the boat.
"When night comes the master sta
tions himself at the gangway and
counts his flock as they file on board.
Woe be to the last goose, for the whip
descends on his luckless back without
mercy, and the crowding of the tardy
is amusing. I have t a friend who
stands at the door of his schoolroom
and watches his (lock as they come in
and flogs (ill the tardy ones. Tardiness
is not considered a virtue, but rather a
misfortune in his school. I would not
commend this plan as it requires a pe
culiar fitness. I related the Chinese
story to my pupils and for a long
time the last one in was the goose of
that session. The, influence was quite
refreshing.
For some yeans past I have given a
half holiday as a prize for every class
which was perfect for four weeks.
This makes the pu ils look after the
delinquents themselves. I have conse
quently had whole weeks pass without
a case of tardiness or absence except
in sickness.
I have not tried this particular mode
in any except graded schools. The
general idea works admirably in all de
partments of instructions."
Horatio S. Sniffles.
The above article was sent us some
weeks ago, but was unavoidably
crowded out. Ed.
THE ROCX CREEK SCII90L.
We believe teachers universally
agree that the evils attending incon
stant attendance, are among the great
est evils with which they have to con
tend. It cannot be denied that of all
drawbacks attending the efficiency of
schools, this is the most serious. Xei
thfcf parents cx pupils realize or are
aware, or caro how ctctrirrfental absen
ces are to a school. Lessons which
succeed each other in a natural order,
or as it were, the "links in the chain of
study'', cannot be lost without destroy
ing the interi'st in study, and making
the path of the ptrj-il dark and irksome,
while trouble seems to come from
every quarter, and the pupils find that
they are hardly able to proceed at all.
Having missed the lesson of yesterday
they find uifficulty in understanding
that part of to-tlily'a lesson depending
on that of yesterday.
While the teacher's tiirie and pa
tiencS are taxed repeating and explaining"-
VaC lesson to the delinquent
pupil, for it will not do to let the pupil
fall behind the class, nor will it do to
create a new class for every delinqnent,
LeCaUse soon the whole school would
he -tfcrdwri intd confusion, and from
their disorganization the teacher
9ttSf.iTr$-Hfra soiled. reyutntioir
We had the pleasure of visiting this
school the other day, and were highly
gratified to find teacher and schol
ars working zealously in the cause of
education. This school is under the
instruction of Mr. J. T. Sweeney, for
merly a teacher of Washington county.
Pa., and who is also President of the
Cass Countr Educational Association.
We iicliced a diligence in school
among the scholars which always fa
vorably impresses a visiter. Lesuons
were generally, well recited, which in
dicated that they had been well pre-
pared. If we should offer a criticism
at all upon the scholars, it would be
the habit so common in our schools of
preparing lesions by the audible using
of the lips. This we regard as more of
a habit than anything else, and one not
necessary to assist the thinking lioic
era. The Rock Creek school house is mo3t
admirably situated for comfort, espe
cially during the winter season. It is
surrounded by a grove of native forest
trees, and thus a good protection is
furnished, from the storms of winter.
We desired to commend the interest
which the people cf this district mani
fest in the course of Education. We
found tlfe wall3 of the school room
I covered with out-line-maps; the seats
are of modern construction, and have
e'vidently been selected with a view to
the accommodation of all sized.
A ten-inch globe with full meridian
and horizon complete, graced the teach
er's desk. A Webster's Unabridged
Dictionary is also furnished by the dis
trict. These are all auxiliaries to the
advancement of Education and we
most heartily commend the example of
the Rock Creek District to all other
districts in the county.
While visiting thisschool we had
the pleasure of meeting Prof. Wise, our
worthy Superintendent, Rnd also Mr.
Sage, who has charge Of the Louiston
school.
We listened for a short time to one
of Prof. Wise's characteristic addresses,
and left with a full determination to
visit this school again. May it ever
continue to increase in educational in
Three Famous Financiers.

most most eccentric and munificent
in American history: Robert Morris,
Nick Biddle, and Jay Cook. . Their
fates and fames recall one anotUer.
All have been men of a certain ap

order to end in catastrophe.
Morris was the Colossus of the Revo

for the Government on forlorn occa

to transport Washing' s army to

weekly, semi-weekly, and daily. !
THE WEKELY SUN is too widely known to
require any extended recommendation : but
the reasons which have already iiven it fif v
tbc.usaml subscribers, and which will, we hope,
give it many thousands more, are brieiiy as
follows :
it is a first-rate newspaper. All the news of
the day will be found in it condensed when un
important, at full length when of moment, and
always presented in a clear, intelligible, and in
teresting manner.
it i-t a first-rate family paper, full of enter
taining and instructive reading of every kind,
but conlijniii.it mulling that can of.'end liie most
delicate and scrupulous lasto.
It is a firt-rats st-ny Paper. The lust ta'es
and romances of current literature are carefully
selected and legibly printed in its pages.
it is a firnt-raie agricultural paper. The most
fresh aiid instructive articles on agricultural
topics regularly appear !n tbis department.
It is an independent political paper, belong
ing to no party aud wearing no collar. It lights
for principle and the election of the best men
to ollice. It especially devotes its energies to
the exposure of the great corrupt ions tbat now
weaken ami disgrace our country, and threaten
to undermine republican institutions altogether
It lias no ftar of knaves, and asks no layers
from their supporters.
It roorts the fashions for tbe ladies and the
markets for the men, especially the cattle mar
kets, to which it pays particular attention.
I-inali, it is the Cheapest p iper published.
One dollar a year will secure it for any subscri
ber. It is not necessary to get up a club in or
der to have the weekly SUN at this rate. Any
one who sends a single dollar will get tiie paper
for a year.
We have no traveling agents.

the present Farmers' Movement, and should be
in tbe hands o every member' of a Gramre or

We are plad to iiotier'that the publishers have
abandoned tbe Premium an t Chromo schemes

its real merits. Such a paper needs no clap

this t.lihforward and manly course of action.

To fully realize the wonderful work which the
Aldine is"dinj for the cause of art culture in
America, it is only necessary to consider tho
cost to the peojdedf any other decent repre
sentations of the productions of prcat paint
ers. In addition to designs by the number of Xhri
National Aca'h'iny, and other noted American
artists, the Aldine wiil reproduce examples of
the bet foreign maslers, selected with a view
to the. b.ihe.st artistic success and greatest kcu
eral Interest. Thus the subscriber to the Al
dine will, .at a trifling cost, enjoy In Ids own
home tiie pleasure and refiniiiti i:i;lucnci h of
true art.
