As we close our forms at noon
on Tuesdays, we can give no election
news, except to say that the election
is proceeding rather quietly at this
point. As we all grow older we shall
know more about the election as well
as many other matters.
The goodness of a school is in
exact relation to the goodness of the
teacher. Neither appliances nor fur
niture will supply the place. There
fore money spent to secure an active,
original teacher, who will learn and
grow in the profession is the surest
of a return. The Student.
The school board held its regular
meeting last Monday evening. M. K.
Turner was elected a member in place
of John Browner, resigned. Several
bills were allowed. The Sup't. met
with the Board, and presented a
course of study which he had prepar
ed. Not having space we defer giv
ing the proceedings entire, until next
week.
We hear of a fight on 11th 3treet,
Saturday night about twelve o'clock,
in which about twelve men were en
gaged promiscuously. The town that
sleeps peacefully doesn't know the
half of what is going ou at nights,
and, if the peaceable citizens of the
place don't take a little more interest
in matters they will deserve to see
trouble.
It takes a so-called religious pa
per to show cheek and enterprise.
The N. Y. Independent asks of us
about twelve dollars of advertising
for an exchange with it one year. We
are not quite so hard pushed for read
ing matter of a doubtful religious
kind as to think of accepting. We
advise readers to find some other
"religious" paper, that manages to
live upon the rule, Do as you would
be done by.
L. M. Saley the other day while
repairing his cellar struck a root from
a box elder tree standing iu his yard
17 feet away from the building ; the
root inside measured 10 feet more,
making a total in length of 27 feet,
and at this point, where the root en
ters the ground it is one inch In
diameter and how many feet further
it runs is not known. It shows the
reason why the box elder trees al
ways did well in Nebraska, and after
getting a little start, explains why the
dry weather seems to have little effect
on its growth.
On the evening of the 29th nit.
Miss Anna Becher was tendered a
surprise party by her young friends,
at which a large number participated,
the occasion being her birthday anni
versary. The surprise was complete,
which was, of course, gratifying to
the projectors, and the reception was
none the less hearty. The evening
was delightfully spent in social
amusemeniB until midnight, when re
freshments were served, and all dis
persed to their homes voting the
event a very happy one. Miss Anna
was the recipient of a number of
handsome presents.
We logically conclude, from the
outgivings of the new editor of the
new Norfolk Journal that he has not
yet familiarized himself with Madison
county politics. There are many
branches of that delectable subject to
which we might call his special atten
tion, if we were so minded, but this
Journal has been in the habit of
non-interference in foreign affairs
except when the very general good
seemed absolutely to require it. Iu
the meantime, if there are any espe
cially abstruse points about Madison
county affairs that we cannot decipher
at this distance, we shall certainly call
upon onr very good friend for more
light, which, as a matter of course,
republican editors are always able,
willing and anxious to give. - "
If every head of a family would
religiously adhere to three rules for
adult members of the household, there
would be a great deal less sin and
misery in the world : Early to bed ;
early to rise; remunerative employ
ment. In these days of dissipation
and physical wreck, the gospel of
work, and progress through work,
needs to be strongly preached. The
healthy young man or woman, boy
or girl, who will not do work enough
to at least pay for the clothes they
wear and the food they eat, are not
possessed of the right spirit, and, un
changed, will come to a bad end, for
the essence of crime is to wish to pos
sess something of another, for which
you have paid no equivalent, given
nothing in exchange. The mother
who does the rough drudgery of the
household, wearing her life away in
toil, in order that her daughters may
have a "pleasant" life, is certainly
making a very grave mistake. Work
is not injurious, but idleness is. We
do not believe in slavish burdens for
any, but we do most emphatically say
that children are "men and women of
a smaller growth," and subject to
precisely the same laws that affect
full-grown people; they need useful
employment to make their play rel
isbable, and if parents will pay them
for the work they do, and allow them
the free use of the money they earn,
they will be surprised to know the
good UEes tho little folks' will soon
make of their wages. A dollar earn
ed by a child, for honest work done, a
dollar which it can call its own, to do
with according to its pleasure, repre
sents a branch of education that is
very much neglected. We know of
several little heroines of twelve, thir
teen and. fourteen years who have
charge of the family affairs, and who
manage admirably. Will any one
tell us why these and such as these
should not be amply paid for the
work they do ? If the pay for actual
labor performed were more equitably
divided among the sons and daugh
ters of earth there would be less lazy
luxury and more majestic manhood.
For the Journal.
Tkoaghts m Ike Kindergarten.
Some one once said to the late ac
complished Mrs. Carl Scburz: "That
little child of yours is a miracle, so
childlike and unconscious, aud yet so
wise and able, attracting and ruling
the childreu, who seem nothing short
of enchanted." "No miracle, but only
brought up in a kindergarten," ans
wered Mrs. Schurz. "A kindergar
ten ! what is that?" "A garden
whose plants are human. Did you
ever hear of Froebel ?" "No ; who is
he?" "A greater reformer in edu
cation than Pestalozzi."
When Froebel had come into the
full possession of hi3 central thought
he worried bis mind for a tit name to
give to the institution he was about
to found. One day, walking among
the hills, he shouted: " Heureka!
Kinger-Garten (child's garden) that
is the name for uiy place."
Froebel, thoughtful, introspective
aud slow-meditating, was driven back
upon the truth that is in the early
and earliest periods of education that
the battle is lost or won; and that the
greatest need of a nation is a race of
strong and intelligent mothers.
"What is a child ? What do we ex
pect him to be aud to do? What is
the best way of teaching him for
that?" Froebel turned to nature for
guidance. He remembered the max
im of Lord Bacon, that we can only
learn from nature herself how to
subdue her; that we must stoop to
conquer. The child lives the life of
the senses. We must train his senses.
He is loud of action. As an illustra
tion of the manner in which Froebel
would regulate and guide a child's
love of action and play, the following
amusing example may serve: "A
baby is fond of mischief, and likes to
kick out. Very well, let the mother
teach him how to kick in a rhythmic
manner. Gently and regularly, back
wards and forwards ; singing a nur
sery song in time with the move
ments. The child likes it, for he feels
able to do something he feels his
power, and this makes him feel good."
It may be remarked that this is not
much to kick rhythmically. It is
something, however it is a begin
ning. Remember, it connects even a
baby's kicking with the external or
der of the world the great cosmic
harmony and unity of which Froebel
has bo much to say.
But, fellow-teachers, leaving this
subject for some future time, although
we are not kindergartners as such, we
may work in our respective fields
with the same spirit placing our
schools ou the same broad basis: "In
life, for life and through life." Let
us become masters of our work ; let
us cease to be in any respect the hire
lings of other interests; let us live
wholly for the interests of our chil
dren and humanity. True, teaching
is a failure from a financial point of
view ; but that is a low view of life
and its duties which would reject an
occupation on the ground of its mea
ger returns in dollars and cents.
Switzerland, the birthplace and
home of a Pestalozzi, Rousseau, Ag
assiz and Guyot, is the only country
that has, so far, in some of her can
tons, ventured to emancipate her
teachers, allowing them to work with
the child iu accordance with its own
inner needs, and not in obedience to
arbitrary rules drawn up by others.
The status of a teacher should be
determined on professional grounds
and by professional men, not by a
vacillating public, too often scores of
years behind the educational doctrines
and practices of advanced minds.

The three Miss Ottis, who are at
tending school at Columbus, were
here to attend the funeral of Mr.
Dunn on Saturday last.
Your correspondent was the recip
ient of a large head of cabbage and
two large beets, grown and presented
by Mr. Huebner of Humphrey pre
cinct, weight of cabbage twenty lbs.,
weight of beets eleven and one-half
lbs. How is that for Nebraska ?
Once more the 6tern hand of death
has been spread over our little town
and has taken from among us one of
our highly respected citizens. Mr.
Dunn last Thursday morning arose as
one of us ; later in the day some men
passing along the road discovered
him lying on the ground, and the
alarm was given and he was found
dead. Paralysis of the heart was the
supposed cause of death. Mr. Dunn
was an aged man and subject to such
spells, and he has often said he was
sure he would die in this manner.
His many acquaintances will miss his
friendly face and his salutation. We
can say of him he had no enemies.
The deceased leaves au aged widow,
(kindly provided for) to mourn his
loss. He was followed to the grave
on Saturday, being the first to enter
in the new Catholic. cemetery here, of
which church he was a faithful fol
lower. C.

1881.
More new features have been intro
duced in the Weekly Inter Ocean in
the last twelve months than in any
other paper published in this country.
Retaining all the old specialties aud
departments, the publishers have ad
ded illustrated biographical sketches
of persons prominently betorc the
public at date of publication; illus
trated articles on important historical
and current events, or in elucidation
of antiquarian research, or interesting
engineering and mechanical problems ;
cable letters from London covering
the field of European news for each
week; special contributions devoted
to reminiscences of army and polit
ical life; and new series of articles
given up largely to personal gossip
and recollections of prominent lit
erary people.
The Inter Ocean will remain un
compromisingly Republican; will
maintain its present attitude on the
questiou of protecting American in
dustries; will continue to devote spe
cial attention to trade, transportation,
and economic questions, will retain
the departments of The Curiosity
Shop (a current encyclopedia of cu
rious, interesting, and valuable infor
mation called out by inquiries of
subscribers) ; The Woman's Kingdom
(devoted to the progressive move
ments iu which women are interest
ed) ; The Farm and Home (covering
topics of special interest to farmers,
their wives, and their children) ; The
Veterinary (containing answers to
questions as to the treatment of
horses, cattle, and other animals by
one of the best veteriuary surgeons in
the West) ; and Complications (taking
in puzzles, enigmas, conundrums.etc),
all of which are peculiar to the paper;
will give as much space as hitherto to
serial and short stories, original and
selected sketches and poems, aud
with increased :acilities for news
gathering in the shape of special icires
to New York and Washington, and
experienced correspondents well
placed at home and abroad, will more
than maintain its high standard for
enterprise and accuracy iu all depart
ments of news.
While so many improvements have
been made in the Weekly Inter Ocean,
the price has been reduced to One
Dollar Per Year, postage included.
This puts a large eight-page (there
are frequently twelve pages) paper in
the bands of the reader at the low
rate of two cents per week. The re
duction in. price aud the recent im
provements make the Inter Ocean not
only the best family newspaper in the
country, but the cheapest. The sub
scription price of tho Inter Ocean is
as follows :
Weekly Edition per year, post

Semi-Weekly Edition per year,

Bee for Ifoyw.
A farmer friend bus sixty colonies
of bees, a fine flock of light Brahma
fowls, and a farm of one hundred and
twenty acres. He has two sons, aged
thirteen and sixteen years, respect
ively, and the elder boy has entire
charge of the bees, of which be is very
fond. He runs his sections, extracts
the honey, introduces queens, divides
his bees, and rears queens with a skill
which many a veteran might envy.
He is already well known in the city,
three and a half miles distant, for his
honey, and talks about bees, nnd
quotes authorities in the most intelli
gent manner. All bis honey is sold
in one grocery-store, and though he
has had a good yield this season, and
has reaped a fine profit, he cannot
fully supply the demand at the store.

Ceres, Oct. 13, '83.
To the Editor: The harvest is
past and most of the wheat in and in
store or sold. The crop was much
better thau expected after the hot
week the first of June, but much of it
shrunk. The yield has been pretty
good, and price about $1.50 here, 90
miles from Port CoBta, the main ship
ping point now for wheat. Business
of all kinds pretty good throughout
the state. All the railroad towns
nearly, growing. Land is called high
in this county now ; it has advanced
every year, and the farming is done
much better by most people. The
main business in this county is wheat
raising. Fresno county is being cut
up in small tracts and colonies estab
lished aud fruit is becoming a large
business, the chance for irrigation
being better from King's river, the
main stream of the San Joaquin.
Tulare county has now about eighty
artesian wells and they are driving
them down fast in the belt west of the
railroad towards the lake. Tulare
couuty has a good deal of oak timber
and the land is excellent, and surface
water can be got at ten to twenty
feet. An easy country to irrigate
from wind mills. With the ditches,
artesian wells and wind mills, in eight
or ten years I have but little doubt
she will lead the counties iu this
valley in fruit and fine houses. The
Muscle Slough country now is a great
wheat region in that county, has
water from King's river through
Merced couuty, as I understand it.
This valley is pretty hot for two or
three months, or at least we have some
few very hot days.
Have shipped from this station in
June, July, August and September,
5,834 tons of wheat to the markets,
and there is some 80,000 to 90.000 tons
in store here, and this is one of the
six stations in the county, and about
ou the average in shipments. So you
can Bee that the wheat business is an
item here. C. Lee.
