School Talk PapersHo. 3. 51k, Editoh: We do wit mean to leach les, but more that Is ujful, und that so wyHtctnatleally arranged ocry particle of which bhall be of vltnl Interest, ami tfcat when It Ih aciiulrnd reference can be made to It In regular order aad with per- f leut accuracy. It Is a miserable wumte of time to teaelr or learn a lltttb of every thing in n haphazard, conglomerate- mauner. A comparison drawn by an eminent scholar mid dlstingulsftethteach ep will serve urell here to lllustonte this truth. "A maw resered a spacious un- Iighted loft in on of his buildings where he could stow those things wllich he had no present coo-for, but mightt some time-In the future-need. He left an ap erture In the cellicrg, and when lufound a bolt, a piece of iron, an old sriovel, a new extra wheel, an old strapor boot, he would caielessly ts It Into the loft. This went on for several yearn, and at last the loft becam so full that no more room was left. One day he wanted' an article which he knew had been thrown Into the loft. He took a ladder, climbed slowly up, cutered the apartment,, and, giopiug-tn the darkness, turned tilings over mill over, anil alter long eearcn failed of course to lltxl what he wanted." So It it- with the minds of our youth. They re treated too. much as this-man treated his loft. Ittts of information, some useful and some not, are recklessly tossed into them without regard to order for future use, nnd. when anything-Is wauted'there, the ilorkness nnd confused arrangement render its accessibility Im possible. Another waste is in teaching children things for' which they ase not pre'pasvd in age. Higher niathenrntics and physical geography are often jyiven to chiltlren to study,, when their minds me wholly incapable of grasping the deep scientific and philosophical riinel ples. Only think Ilo-w dllllcult ibis for an adult mind to taaee tho deep rsasou ing ot algebra, audi then see how ungen-eious- it is to bunien and putiluil the mi 1.1S of a tender c'.tlhl with such ajttuily. I'hy-Jeal geography is one of tho deepest and most intricute-stodles In ourf-ahools; tmu'ii concerning; it is still unKnown, ami much of it seairw as qilestioas upon wlkteh a Hiimboldtv Tyndall, anil Huxley dltttr, and perhays-it will lc maAy years before they are permanently sttled.

The author says, correctly enough, " lu Part I. we have considered ilie structure- of sentences and of pluase1-.', the elements- which compose a setitentw or a phrase; tho ulassillcation of sentences and of pluases; the an.ilyis of sentences, nKHi iniate and ultimate. In our progress thiougli I'.irt I. we have seen that the proiijmtti itiHtlyiii of a sentence con sists lu lesolving it into its imnmiiate conxtittn nt dementi, and that these may lie it oi'dt, phraui, or nu Mary svutuu a; that the ul'hiutte unalyiiH of a sentence consists In reducing its pioxlmate el ements to tho woids which compose them. Wc have next to consider the histoiy of words consideicd as ultimate elements of Sentences including their formation, their elasslllc.ition, their niod ttlcatlon, their lelutlon, aad their collo. cation. The science language em brncesoithoepy, oithography, etymolo gv, syntax, and prosody," then goes on w'lth'btlet dellnltions to explain the last five tonus, ami tuts on page in ot mat book. Now, I appeal to every parent, gtiaidiau, and teacher to consider for n moment the ponderosity of the language quoted above, njd tllVU ,ll'lH f I-utting it hofoie a child of ten or pvon llftvvn yens to worry, to puzzle, and mystify Its tender brain. How many grown people tluiHich the country, having the advantage nt thlity or forty years' use ol the llugliah language, the advantage ol leading, olxeivatlon, and even study, c.in icldily conipreheud the meaning of thewonN rcfeired to above? Well, let the child go on. Let him learn it as a child leal ns to Imitate a sound, l.ethlm llui-h the book, mid titter ho has studied technicalities, dicu-ed "line points," woiiied with gt.immatical intricacies .mil knotty iiiuMlons, It is a matter of giave doubt whether ho will always hi.iko his voib agree with its subject, or ue a plur.il subject and a singular verb. i He pel haps can tell you that every I propel noun should begin with a capital letter, but ho scaicely overdoes It when , ho is wilting; ho e.iu tell youthat an in I torrogatlon "jHiliit should follow u written iiestion, but lu his correspondence he . tmUs twenty (uestious, not one of which I is tollowed by the proper mark; he can ll'M JllHl till, l UIO 1117-1 ,,11111 Ol i, C'UllllHC'lC- hi-nteiico should begin with a capital letter, and tho sentence followed by a period, but in his letter ho begins and ends his sentences without paying the least attention to his memorized rule. In short, he can recite dellnltions ad infinitum, hut when it comes to putting into practical use what he has learned, he Is a sad failure. Kvery Hue of his correspondence and every ten words of his conversation show that his hours, days, and years of study, goldcu mo ments lu the sprlug-tlme of life, have been wasted, sadly wasted!

On Friday at we chartered a back for conveyance into tho wllilrne, and earlj-ln the morning were rolling olf eastward from Salom, following the railroad as far as Tnr ner'sand then skirting the Waldo Hilla, we kept Dj, the vaDsy or Mill creek past Autna vlllo.

Tlte canopy or boughs that sheltered the worshippers was withered, the seats were still1 tbere, and we teoar luuch off tho rustic Mble that had answered fcr the catrpers. 5!he next rtage was on to the nook in the woods wiere Stiytonvllle hugsclosjto the shores of'tho Santlam.

Farms grew less exlctmi ve and the scene-more prim-Itivo-os we proeeeded.

Hardly were our tepts pitched when a fero cious tribe of J olio w Jackets swarmed out from uuder a rock in our midst, and stung the girls and set tbe dogs to howling. Wo gathered up some trash and setting fire to It soon made a holocaust of our nnsiny, by building a roaring fire at the gate of his stronghold. Tbon we had peace. The fate of tbe yellow jackets show s tbe consequences of lnhospltality; they dldu't make us nicely welcome, as they ought, aud we carried the war into Africa. Our two boys and their two dogs aud their two poules form important faaturea of our camp. Tbe boys are successful anglers and keep our table abundantly supplied with brook trout, catohlug fully as many as we eau eat. At evening we go down to tbe San tlam aud bathe in ila charming water. Our boys sometimes transfer their hook and line exercise to the main river, aud vary our diet by catohlug the large salmon trout, wblon hardly come up to the excellence of their lit tle cousins of the brook, but eat well enough for all that.

It ihoro wore any for sale lu the State, I would purchase one this year, but as tbero aru uouo now tor sale, I Intend to get one for nuxt j ear's harvest. I have no hesitation In reoommendiug, in fact, I think it is my duty to recommend my fellow farmers to get tho Gordon Soli-Binder, and they will find it tho best harvester and tbe greatest labor-sav-iug machine for a farmer lu tbo Htato.
