IHSTOI FUItElC SCHOOLS.
Radical Changes in Methods and
the Studies Pursued.
j .
Thousands of the parents who
send their children to school to-day
arc unaware ot' the radical changes in
the programme for the coining year.
One of iho last acts of the school
board at July meeting was to adopi
what is called the '2iew Pro
gramme of Studies." This has been
most carefully prepared by the
Board of Supervisors aud the prc
sont superintendent ; it is the result
of mouths of consideration and dis
cussion. It was adopted by the
echool board with little discussion
and without much opposition, aud
and yet none of the man- changes
made during the last two years will
produce amoug the scholars and
teachers more interest and comment
than this programme.
To show what a departure it is
from the beaten paths of the past,
we present the main features of this
new course of studies. In the pri
mary schools and instruction is al
most entirely oral. Oral lessons will
be given upon pictures, plants, ani
mator whatever the ingenuity of the
teacher may suggeFt, in order to ac
custom the scholars to express what
they know in words. This exorcise
will bo called "Language." Other
oral instructions will be given upon
form, color, measures; animals
grouped by habits, traits or struc
ture; vegetables, minerals, the
human body and hygiene. Fables,
anecdotes and simple poetry will
receive proper attention. The
metric system will be taught from
the metric apparatus. Heretofore
much time lias been given to spell
ing and many hours spent over the
primary speller; that book is to be
entirely discarded, and "some easy,
common words from the reading
lessons" substituted in its place.
Two new studies arc introduced,
called "Kocrcation" and ".Miscellan
eous," to which an hour and a half a
week is to be given. "Whether this
means work or play, teachers aud
scholars arc yet to learn.
In the grammar grade equally im
portant charges arc indicated.
Grammar is abolished, at least iu
name, and the spelling-book goes
with it. How the eyes of the boys
will glisten when they lcaru this
fact. "Language" takes the place of
grammar, which means less of tech
nical grammar, such as parsing, etc.,
aud more attention given to com
position, structure of sentences, use
of capitals, letter writing and
analysis. Spelling is to be from the
reader and other text Looks. The
amount of writing in copy books is
reduced more than one-half, and
more writing in blank books aud in
other exercises required. The great
amount of time previously devoted
to geography is reduced, and natural
philosophy and physiology arc to be
taken up iu the third class. Music
and dm whig receive the same atten
tion as during previous years. The
most important change here, as in
the primary grade, is in reference to
oral instructions. It is not to be as
in the old programme, merely men
tioned and rarely attended to by the
teachers for want of time, but a
specified amount of time is to be
allotted to it, as well as arithmetic
or reading. In the two lowest
classes the instruction will be al
most entirely oral. In the fourth
class it well be largely so, and iu
the other classes from one to two
hours per week will bo given to this
exercise. Iu the lower classes the
subjects for oral instruction wiil be
natural history, plants from May to
November, animals from .November
to May; trades and occupations,
comon phenomena, itories, anec
dotes, mythology, metals and miner
als. Iu the upper classes, physiology,
life in the Middle Ages, biographi
cal and historical sketches, and ex
periments in physics. Every study
has its specified lime assigned to it.
Jioston Traveller.
A Model Confession.
Several years ago, in a Western
town, a youug lawer, a member of a
arge church got drunk. The brcth-
eru said he must confess. He demur
red. IIo knew the members to be
good people, but that they had their
little faults,such as driving sharp bar
gains, screwing the laborer down to
low wages, loaning money at illegal
rates, misrepresenting articles they
had for sale, etc. But they were good
people, and pressed the lawyer to
come before the church meeting and
owu up to his sin of taking a glass
too much, for they were temperance
people and abhorred intemperance.
The sinner finally went to the
confession, found a large gathering
of brethren and sisters, whose bow
ed heads rose and whose eyes glis
tened with pure delight a3 the law
yer began his confession.
"I confess," he said, "that I never
took 10 per cent, for money." On
that confession down went a broth
er's head with a groan.
turned a poor man
who needed food or shelter." Down
went another head. "I confess 1
never sold a skiru-inilk cheese for a
new-milk one," whereupon a sister
shrieked for mercy. "But," con
cluded the sinner, "I have been
drunk, and am very sorry for it."
"Whereupon the meeting very
peaceably dispersed.

A HI other" Influence.
The lato Thomas II. Benton, who
was so long in public life and sur
rouuded by temptations, paid the
following tribute to his mother:
"My mother asked me never to
use any tobacco, and 1 never touch
ed it from that time to the present
day; she asked me not to game, aud
I have not, aud I cannot tell who is
winning or who is losing in games
that can be played. She admonish
ed me, too, against hard drinking,
and whatever capacity for endur
ance 1 may have at present, anil
whatever usefulness I may attain iu
life, 1 attribute it to having com
plied with her pious and correct
wishes. "When 1 was 7 years of
age she asked me not to drink, and
then I made a resolution of total
abstinence, at a time when I was
sole constituent member of my own
body, and that I have adhered to it
through all the time I owo to my
mother."
A Itlcli Scene.
The following rich scene recently
occurred iu court of justice, between
the judge and a Dutch witness all
the way from Rotterdam.
Judge What is your native lan
guage? Witness I pc no native, l's a
Dutchman.
Judge "What is your mother
longue?
"Witness Oh, faddcr says she pe
all tongue.
Judge (in an irritated tone)
What language did you speak in
the cradle ?
Witness I did not speak any
language iu the cradle at all ; I only
cried in Dooch.
At this there was a general laugh,
in which the judge, jury aud au
dience joined. The witness was in
terrogated no further about his
native laugugc.
A good old farmer found himself
one day with his boy nt the further
end of the row when the dinner-bell
sounded. Anxious to make every
step count, he commenced to hoc
his way back, saying to the boy as
he did so : "Thomas, do vou ever
think of dying ?" "Yes," said Tom ;
"I think I shall die pretty soon if I
don't get some dinner."
Sarins: Seed Corn.
There has been a good deal said
about saving seed corn, and a
good may foolish notions advanced,
such as ransacking the field before
the corn is cut, and selecting the
care that ripened soonest, leaving on
about one-third of the husks to be
hung up by in the peaks of some
building ;others recommend putting
into barrels or boxes, etc. To put
seed corn into a barrel or box would
be the worst treatment it could have.
It should bo put where it can dry
ont as soon as possible.
In going around tho field, picking
cars before hu&king, you will not
get the best, but will "fritter away
muchjlimo; besides, selecting seed
corn is a common sense business
operation, with no fine or critical
points about it. All will admit that
tho best developed and best matured
cars are the right ones to be saved
for seed, and the easiest way to ob
tain these ears is the best. I have
raised the same kind of corn for
fifteen years without changing the
seed, and it has steadily improved
all the time. Aud yet, I don't at
tribute all tho improvement to
the selection of the seed, but part
of it to cultivation, for no variety
of corn can be kept up to a proper
standard without good cultivation.
Any corn will degenerate and run
out if not half cultivated, although
great pains may be taken in select
ing the scod ; but, by obtaining good
seed.giving good cultivation.and ob
taining good crops, tho variety will
improve. Now for the wav to save
the seed: After the corn is" husked
out of the shock aud thrown on the
grouud, take a busket aud go from
one pile to another. The ears will
all be in sight, aud in this way the
best in the field can be obtained
with but very little trouble. Put it
where it will dry out quickly, the
quicker the better.
I have praticed this plan for fif
teen years, and never missed haviug
excellent seed and sent up a strong
and vigorous stalk. Never plant
tho butt or tip kernels, never pick
largest corn, but good, fair-sized
kernels, closing well over tip of ears.
Practical Farmer.
As two ladies were walking along
the 6trcet, one exclaimed, as the sky
suddenly darkened: "There's a
thunder-storm coming on ; I'm so
afraid of lightning!" And the oth
er one calmly replied : "Very well,
my dear; then let us step into this
car, which seems to have a good
conductor."
The cigar-makers of New York
have proclaimed to the public that
many of the cigars sold in the shops
are chemically flavored, and are not
the genuine weed. They might have
told something new if they had said
that many of the Havana" cigar iu
tho market were of Connecticut
origin.
The Western Rural.
The Western Mural come3 to our
tablo from week to week complete
in all its departments. In matters
relating to the farm, orchard and
ardou, it is unsurpassed, and yet it
docs not ignore the family circle. It
is a fireside companion, much en
joyed by the women folks and the
children, each having a department
full of interest to them. The Rural
is increasing in circulation and in
fluence, and deserves the patronage
of all interested in the cultivation of
the soil, or iu increased intelligence
among the sons of toil.
The brave man is uot he who feels
no fear, for that were stupid and
irrational but he whose noble soul
its fear subdues, and bravely dares
the danger which it shrinks from.
The great business of a man is to
improve his mind and govern his
manners ; all other projects and pur
suits, whether in our power to com
pass or not, are only amusement.
A New England farmer hired a
man who proved very expensive
help, as, in a month's time, he dried
up the cows nearly a third " simply
by kicking and scolding."
The reputation of a man is like
his shadow gigantic when it
precedes him, and pigmy in its pro
portions when it follows him.
Following
many vocations has
ruined the life of many a man.
Following none has ruined a great
many more.
