GENERAL SUGGESTIONS.
In Watson's Complete Speller use the
easy lines in each lesson first; after
wards the harder ones.
Drawing may be introduced to- alter
nate with writing at the option of the
school.
In all grades particular attention
should be paid to correct use of 'lan
guage. All the theory of grammar in
the world will not amount to much if
the pupil is not trained to speak the
English language correctly.
In earlier grades than the eighth phy
siology may be taught by object lessons,
or the use of Smith's Primary Physi
ology. It must be remembered that moral in
struction is called for by the law and of
necessity is required. . The education of
the child intellectually, without correct
moral principles as the foundation of
character, may be a curse instead of a
blessing. "Ethics for Young People,"
by C. C. Everett is an excellent text
book for such instruction, and should
be in every school in the county. '
No full explanation of the manner of
teaching each branch is presented until
the course of study is finally arranged
and adopted.
REMARKS.
' In presenting this course of Btudy it is
hoped that while waiting for its final
adoption, every one interested will give
it their careful study, and the public the
benefit of their criticism. Adverse crit
icism is not feared half so much as
apathy in regard to it.
That there are grave difficulties to be
met with in regarding the country
school, some of which cannot be wholly
overcome, none will attempt to deny.
But, that there are great benefits, on
the other hand, to be derived from it,
can be equally well shown. Some of them
are here presented.
- As the work now stands in the coun
try school, there is nothing tangible to
work to or from. There is no beginning
or ending. There is nothing definite in
the mind of either teacher or pupil as to
what constitutes a completion of his
studies in the common school. In the
graded course there would be a carefully
prepared plan arranged by the best ed
ucators of the county, gleaned from the
ripe experience of others all over our
broad land, and the pupil could have
the satisfaction of knowing that when
he had passed through the course and
gained a certain per cent, there was
something finished, something com
pleted.
No education is wholly finished in this
life, but why, we ask, should not the
pupil have a diploma given him when
he has completed the common school
course, as a reward for his labor, as well
as one who finishes the university or
college course? It is believed that the
granting of such a diploma by the
county board of xaminers, which the
graded course contemplates, would be" a
grand Incentive to the pupil.
Lessening the number of classes it
would give the pupil the benefit of a
longer recitation, and. save the teacher's
time so that 'he could do more and bet
ter work with each class.
An examination would be held at
the dose of each term, and a certificate
of standing given each pupil. At the
beginning of next term if there were a
change of teachers, the place of each
pupil would be accurately known the
first day, instead of the new teacher
turning them all back to the first of the
book and spending several weeks to
know where they belonged.
If the graded course were adopted for
the schools of the county, it would still
be optional with the boards of each dis
trict whether they accepted it or not, so
that no harm could come from it in any
event.
Many other reasons might be urged in
its favor, but these are given with the
hope and the prayer that whatever may
be done will redound to the benefit of
our school -. i Troy Shelley,
Superintendent.

A FINE SHOWING .
Secretary of The Dalles Board of Trade
B. S. Huntington has just completed a
carefully made estimate of the amount
of products marketed from the counties
of Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, Morrow
and Crook in .this state and Klickitat
coanty, Washington, being the territory
tributary to the Columbia river from
the Cascades to the mouth of Willow
creek, a distance of about 100 miles, and
of the amounts of importsinto the same
territory during the year ending Decem-
ber 31, 1891. The following is the esti
mate for the exports of cereals :
Wasco 2S0,000
Sherman : 625,000
Gilliam .rjO0,0U0
Morrow . 200,000
Klickitat 300,000
Total :.. 1,H7.-,,000
Or 50,250 tons or 5.C25 carjloadf.
WOOL.
Wasco and Klickitat counties 4 -anvilcin
Sherman 1,000,000
Gilliam 1,750,000
Morrow 2,000,000
Total 9,550,000
. Or 4,775 tons or 955 car loads.
Shipments of cattle for the five coun
ties are estimated at 5240 tons or 524 car
loads; sheep, 23,330 tons or 2333 car
loads ; horses, 1000 toas or 100 carloads ;
hogs, 600 tons or (50 car loads ; hides,
800 tons or 80 car loads; lumber
and wool, 12,500 tons or 1250 car
loads; fish, 1800 tons or ISO car
loads ; frpit, 1600 tons or 160 car loads ;
vegetables and other products, 1500 tons
or 150 car loads, making a total export
of 109,305 tons or 11,417 car loads. For
general merchandise, agricultural im
plements, furniture, etc. the estimate
is 5600 tons or 5600 cars; wocd and lum
ber, 7000 tons or 1500 cars ; coal 15,000
tons or 1500 cars, making total imports
and exports 188,395 tons or 19,217 cars.
This estimate does-not of course in
clude the through rail traffic nor the
traffic of points east of Morrow county.
Mr. Huntington's statemeut further
shows that the opposition boats have re
duced the grain rates, between The
Dalles and Portland from $3.40 to $2.20
and the average rate for general mer
chandise from $8.00 to $5.50. In three
and a half months the portage road and
opposition boats have handled about
2100 tons of merchandise at an actual
saving of $5250 to consumers. But this
is a small part of the gain. During the
whole wheat season the price of grain at
The Dalles was only about four cents a
bushel less than at Portland, while
heretofore the difference had been 10 to
10Jn cents. The actual saving therefore
to the farmers of Wasco aid Klickitat
counties was $33,000 upon wheat and
other grains alone, while the saving in
other shipments and in passenger fares
made a net saving to the people of these
counties of five to ten thousand dollars
more. The effect of this competition
war felt in Sherman county although
the producers of that county could not
reach the steamboats plying on the
river below The-Dalles. But the high
price at The Dalles forced the price to
some extent in the adjoining counties.
The actual loss in wheat by reason of
breaking bulk at the Cascades and twice
handling there was found to be less than
one-tenth of one per cent, a loss ' that is
merely nominal. This is a fine showing
everyway and a powerful argument for
an open river.
The editor of the Chrosiclb met a
respected citizen of The Dalles on the
street this morning who informed him
that it was rumored over town that D.
M. French had said to the directors of
the D., P. & A. Nav. Co., that the com
pany owed him $15,000 and that the
Regulator would never turn a wheel
until it was paid. It is not often that
any one with good sense is justified in
paying any attention to such reports but
as we were assured, many friends of the
new boat believed the tale we felt it to
be right to interview Mr. French on the
subject. His answer was significant:
"There is not a 'word of truth in it.- I
have not a dollar in the boat beyond my
fifty shares of stock. It is easy how
ever to know where a story of that kind
originated."
The Chronicle is authorized to state
that the Regulator will certainly start
running by Monday the 15th prox. or
sooner if things can be got in readiness.
The state portage officials have asked
for two weeks to complete the lower
landing. Both boats are undergoing
alterations and repairs which will re
quire till near the 15th to complete.
Everything will be put in complete
equipment so that no ordinary stoppage
will be necessary till next winter.
Some folks are poking fun at the
Chronicle reporter for saying that the
grounds around the Joles mansion were
now beautified by the presence of "a
pair of peacocks a male and a female.
Now really all the Chronicle did was to
follow a very common usage of the word,
army one may see by consulting' Web
ster, and apply it to the species instead
of the-sex. However the blunder is not
half so bad as that made by a country
man of the writer who was at one time,
and may be yet an alderman for one of
the wards of New York City. At a
meeting of the council a question came
up for beautifying Central Park when a
Mr. Murphy arose and said : "Misther
President I am jist afther payin' a visit
to Yurrip an whin there I spint some
time in the city of Venice where I wus
mightily token with the beautiful gon
dolias that they hiv on the bay and I
'move you sur that we send over for a
dozen of them an put them in the Cen
tral Park lakes." Before the motion was
put our friend arose and said, "I would
loike to ax me frind Murphy how much
these gondllias would be likely to cost,"
Mr. Murphy replied that he though
they could be laid down in New York
for about $200 a piece. "In that case"
replied the Irishman I objict to spindin
so much money on thim and I move as
an amindment that we send for a couple
of them, a male and a female, and let
nature take its coorse."
The county court has followed the
suggestion of the Chronicle and made
the county levy two miles higher for the
purpose of devoting the additional sum
to be realized to the making and im
proving of our county roads. This will
give nearly $6,000 for the purpose, and
$6,000 judiciously spent will do an im
mense amount of good. Hood River
will now get something that precinct
has long needed and long deserved.
That blot on civilization Tygh Hill road
can now he changed and the settlers on
Tygh, Wamic and Wapinitia obtain a
means oi getting to iuart wuu ineir
produce. The thing is done. The
county court will now ' assuredly help
build the road. Let the eettleis get a
move on themselves and show that they
deserve help.

McKinley spoke the sentiments of the
vast majority of all classes and political
creeds west of the Mississippi when he
said : "There is one thing that they all
might as well make up their minds to
down east: That they can't have wool
free when it comes from the sheep's
back rnd put a tariff on it when it comes
on our backs. They cannot have wool
come into their factories in New Eng

The Salem Journal says: The new
county printing law is a good one iu its
effects. It is spreading before the peo
ple the smallest details of county busi
ness and expenditure. The people in
every county in the state are bting fa
miliarized with the aits of the officials.
They are being educated as to the dis
tribution of public taxes in a most ef
fective manner. The loose and careless
methods of county expenditures will be
remedied somewhat thereby.
The Astorians have organized an Anti
Jag society and several prominent gen

charter members. ,
The Eugene Guard makes a little kick
at the idea of The Dalles getting $100,

propriation is made.

Experts Disagree a. to a SIOO Kank Note.
A $100 bank bill is causing a good deal
of discussion among bunk tellers and
government officials. As to whether it
is good or bad there is a difference of
opinion.
The bill turned up at the Illinois Trust
and Savings bank a few days ago. Tell
er Cooper thought it a good bill 'and
showed it to other experts. It purported
to have been issued by the First National
bank of Boston. To settle the question
the bill was taken to the subtreasury.
Receiving Teller Schoeninger pronouncd
it bad and punched the word counterfeit
in it as is customary.
There are few counterfeit $100 bank
bills known to be in existence, and that
of the First National of Boston is one
of the best. In $100 bank bills, at the
left is a picture of Commodore Perry
and his men in a rowboat on Lake Erie
just as the commodore is about to utter
the memorable words, "We have met
the enemy, and they are ours." In gen
nine bills water is seen to be dripping
from both sides of an oar suspended
above the water. In the counterfeits
the water drips' from only one side of
the oar blade. The bill in question had
a drip on only one side, it is claimed, al
though the bill was bo much worn that
it was difficult to determine that point.
It was the main point on which Mr.
Schoeninger bases his decision.
Tellers generally think the bill is good
in spite of the decision of the receiving
teller of the subtreasury. It has been
sent to Washington for a final decision.
