I\R it could bo. In legislation of thlH

But on the whole Mr. HobortHon in well
RatteHed with the prospects. IIH they stand
nt prcHont.
The bill introduced In the Honato by
Sountor Mlllard for the ooiiHtruotion of
u federal building at Norfolk , haH boon
rofurrod to the conunittoo on publio

nt any lime in the near futuro. The
IIOUHO bill Introduced by Congressman
Robertson has boon referred to ix sub-
coinniittco , of which Congressman
Murcor is ohainnan , nnd tluxt means
thixt it will have favorable coiiHideration

Attention to that Study.
FORMS BACKBONE OF SYSTEM.
After Reading , It Is the Most Impor
tant in a Common School Education.
Instruction Must bo Intensified and
Non-Essentials Eliminated ,
In a recent issue of the Nebraska
Teacher under Grammar School depart
ment Superintendent O'Connor of this
city presents these views regarding the
place of nrthmotio in the grammar
school :
Ability to read well , and to compute
wollforms the backbone of our system
of education. About these two subjects ,
then , must bo grouped the loss essential ,
but truly important subjects of gram
mar , geography , nnd history. These
latter subjects are given in the order of
their importance.
The reason for placing reading bofoio
arithmetic is sufficiently obvious. The
pupil must acquire reasonable ability to
road before ho can translate the thought
of the problem into the language of his
own understanding.
The activity and forceful character of
our people men nnd women demand
a ready comprehension and a facile ex
pression of number facts. And however
much educationists and theorists may
inveigh against it , the fact remains that
the person weak in the power of com
putation by number is classed with the
poor speller. Aclear and ready applica
tion of the principles of arithmetic gives
to its possessor n solidity of education
nuequalcd by any other subject.
Of Into years the schools have been se
verely criticised by business men because
of the defects in the character of the
instruction given in arithmetic. This
criticism is in a large degree merited.
Our boys and girls on leaving school are
not suflicieutly well drilled in the f uud-
amoutal principles of addition , subtrac
tion , multiplication , and division not
rapidjxnd not accurate enough. In the
uae of fractions , both common and deci
mal , audthe application of pecentago , a
lamentable weakness is exhibited in too
many instances. These elements of
arithmetic , together with the commoner
rules of mensuration , should bo thor
oughly drilled into the mind of every
pupil baforo he goes out from the eighth
grade.
There are teachers who assert that
arithmetic holds too prominent a place
in our plans of education , and , as a con
sequence , waste of the pupil's time nnd
energy results. "This time , " it is said ,
"might moro advantageously be do voted
to the delightful pursuits of .nature , lit
erature , and esthetics" In many
schools this course has been nccopted
and a wide and brilliant range of nature
study , elementary science , literature ,
algebrageomotry , and in some instances
Latin and physical geography cover
the pages of the oorrses of study for the
grammar grades , where formerly in a
largo measuremental and written arith
metic hold sway.
This is what is meant by "broadening
and enriching the course of study for
the grades. " It is the comprehen
sive plan. Allured by these siren voices
and prompted by the desire to provide for
the schools such studios as will , in their
judgment , produce the highest degree
of cultnre , many teachers reduced the
time and quantity of arithmetic in
grades aud consequently changed the
quality.
Teachers of superior training , nnd
text books based on sound pedagogical
principles , are more prevalent now than
formerly ; but in a state like ours ,
where the average life of the teacher
scarcely exceeds four years , neither art
nor text book can counter act the shal
low effects that must necessarily flow
from the congested character of the "en
riched and comprehensive" course of
study. But it is averred that the work
done in arithmetic is moro intense now
than it was formerly. Twenty years
ago , in eastern Pennsylvania , on a mild
day in March , in a district school , the
windows raised , and his coat off ,
Thomas Viokorman conducted a class in
mental arithmetic. His voice was heard
nearly a quarter of a mile from the
school house. It was an earnest voice ;
musical. On
it was moro forceful than
entering the room the writer discovered
the teacher standing before his class ,
perspiration collected in largo beads on
his brow , and face the very picture of
intense earnestness. The class partook
of the zeal of the teaoher , and the skill
and dexterity exhibited in unraveling
the complexities and in giving concise
analyses of the difficult problems found
in Ray's Intellectual Arithmetic , would
delight the soul of the most enthusiastic
disciple of the Spoor method. Thomas
Viokorman was an intense teaoher ; but
oven ho would have boon at n loss to
know how to intensify the work of
many grammar schools with enriched
courses.
Wo have bettor qualified teachers and
bettor text books ( and poorer also ) than
was the rnlo twenty-five years ago but
skill of the teacher and the adaptability
of the t'jxt-book have boon utilized , not
in deepening education , but in attempt
ing to spread it ever the entire face of
nature. It wo want bettor results in
arithmetic in our grammar schools , we
must intensify the instruction , wo
must olimiuato non-ossoutlals after the
manner of the farmer who thins his
corn from ton stalks in a hill to four or
fivoand for the same reason. If wo wish
to profit by the superior skill nud ability
of our good teachers , wo should rollova
thorn of all unnecessary drudgery nud
dissipation of energy. This may bo
done by confining their energies in the
direction of a few things , nud not de
manding that they shall know ( I ) nnd
toaoh ( ! ) everything in science , in theology
elegy , in government , in medicine , in
law , oto , etc. , etc.
When this is done teachers will find
time to drill on the fundnmontnl prin
ciples of arithmetic. They will find
time to intensify the work of mental
arithmetic thnt keen polisher of the
intellect thnt strengthens and sharpens
and brightens it. And tlmo will not begrudgingly
grudgingly given to written arithmetic. . ,
But its principles and rules will bo ' , \
practiced nnd drilled upon until the '
pupil will fool confident in himself ,
have respect for his education , and will
bo n credit to his school.
For the above reason in juttico to the
cause of sound education , and of the
bnsinessjintorosts of our nation , lot ns
counsel you , tenohors , to keep a firm
hold on the time honored subject of
arithmetic in your schools. Touch your
boys nnd girls to read well , to cipher
well , to compose well , and all the others
shall bo added unto them , each in its
proper place and time. For this hold
ing fast to the things that have boon
proved , you may not receive the lauda
tions of theoretical educationists of case
and leisure nnd dream hallucinations ,
but you will command the thanks and
approbation of practical people and the
patrons you servo.

A Popular Preparation.
One of the best advertieed nnd most
popular preparations for the cure of
nasal catarrh nnd similar troubles is
Ely's Oream Balm. It was originated
and placed on the market nearly tw nty
years ago by a firm of experienced
druggists , Ely Brothers , nnd their business -
ness in this special article grow to euch.
proportions that they were compelled to
devote their entire attention to it. Ely
Brothers emphnsizo the fact that it is to-
the interest of druggists to supply Ely's
Cream Balm whenever n customer culls
for it , or oven when simply a good
catarrh remedy is asked for. The test
of time has proved that this preparation
always gives satisfactory results. It is
a uniform preparation , made according
to a scientific formula from the very
best quality of drugs. In supplying it
to his trade the druggist does not run
the risk of causing dissatisfactionwhich
might occur when the customer is in
duced to experiment with new prepara
tions the merit of which has not boon
fully demonstrated.
