However, the name of the exchange is pot important, the csen- ,tiWh;ii!g."i8-tIie' classic diction, the in exorable loytoil conviiieiug argument, ihe pcMWCacious thought, the final cli max, .tlre-well, the thins itself. The writer wasr.tning to say something flbp'ut the election of Sir. Polph and the finance question. Here it is, verbatim et literatim: "On one side are candi dates advocating a sufTicientgoId reserve . to'rfedcem every promise of the govern ment, Whether printed on paper or slumped on our silver coins, in gold, and maintain all at parity, while there are other candidates who favor the increase in xiur obligations in increasing the issue df klvef money containing half as much silver as is demanded by the laws of trade to make it on a par with gold. The pieient coined ratio of gold to silver is l,t16, while the commercial ratio is I JO :Y2. ; If the men whom we have sent to ih.Q Oregon legislature shall maintain nil our money on a parity, then it is probable 1 that Hon. J.'X. Dolph will sjiaceed:. himself. If, however, they shall send a man who favors coining all the silver offered at our mints on a ratio of 1 to 18 and redeeming it at par, it pieaus paying $1.29 for an ounce of sil veWkh only CO cents, and the CD difler e'rtce is simply" the fiat of the govern ment."

The penal system of this state should be reformed from center to cir cumference, the railroad commission abolished, the jute mjll fraud expurgat ed, a better road system established, the legal rate of interest lowered, a reyised assessment law and a hundred worth less, dead letter laws ewept from the sta tutes of the state.

The program for the February institute will be published next week. In the last issue of the Observer we were requested to name any par tisan paper in which a "teachers' column" was printed. We beg leave to refer the Observer to the Rose burg Review, or to the Republican Record, of Erie, Kan. Below ve give a clipping from the latter pa per that explains it. We might re fer him lo other papers in Minne sota, Iowa and Nebraska in . which a similar department is printed, but we do not think it is necessary. What has the Observer man been doing all these years? It is the intention of the propri etor of the Republican Record that every teacher in the county shall receive the naoer durinz their school term, for the u?e of them selves and their pupils, free of charge. But we cannot afford to furnish the paper free to teachers while they are not teaching, nor during the summer vacation. We have a number of teachers on our list who have been getting the pa per right along without a break for two, three and four years. In or der to keep our books straight we will send a statement of account to each of these teachers. They will be charged on these statements for the full time they have been get ting the paper, but we expect them to deduct from this amount 12 cents for every month they have taught during the time the account has been running. They will thus get the paper free during the time they have been teaching and are only charged for the time they were not teaching. When your school closes if you don't want the paper through vacation please drop us a card and we will stop it. Re publican Record, Erie, Kansas. Tho Institute. Considering the bad weather a large number of Polk county teach ers met at Independence Saturday, Jan. 5. President Reynolds being absent, Prof. I laves called the meet ing to order at 11 o'clock. Mr. Long, of Monmouth, was elected chairman. Two songs were sung by the as sociation, and Mr. Hutchison being absent, the discussion on 'Tracti- icalWork for Teachers in Morals and Manners" was omitted. Mrs. Tuck then read a paper on "The First Month's Work in School.'' This was a valuable pajer end by motion was requested for publication The association then adjourned for dinner.

Mrs. Mary Tuck read the follow ing paper before the teachers' in stitute held in this city last Satur day: "When I found that I was on tho program I felt as if I must decline, that I was not competent to get up before the teachers' meeting and read a paper on any subject what- ever, as there were others who!tahle is a number ot could do so much better, but re membering that . I bad always taught my pupils that they should never shrink from duty, the thought came to me, 'you had bet ter practice that which you teach.' j "This subject is only to com prise the child's first month in school. During my summer vaca tion I bad thought very little about school work until a fchort time be fore school began, when I com menced to make preparation for the work that was before me, and these were some of the thoughts that came to me: 'I wonder how many little people I shall have the first month of school, and what shall I do with them?' I found the first day about 2H smiling lit' tie folks who had never been to school before, besides a class of 25 that had been left over from the previous year. Primary teachers know what it is to be crowded. Somehow it seems practicable, al though I do r,ot think so, for one person to have CO or more children to care for duiing the school ses sion and keep a certain amount of watch over the children that are not reciting and provide busy work tor them. It seems to me that 2o or 30 little folks are enough for one teacher, as 'the individual requires teaching in these days,' and no teaching is good which does not awaken interest in the pupils.' -It is a hard matter to interest fo great a numlier, at least I have found it so. "The first morning, after assign ing the seats and taking the names, we had a short story from a book j called 'Lessons in Right Doings.' There are lessons contained in this j book on kindneis, truthfulness and obedience which are helpful to the children, as there are always chil- Idren that know nothing about .cry for nnythingto cat or kindness, truthfulness and, obedi ence. An using torio of this kind wn can devclon virtues and habits in our pupils ih'lk will guido them in wavs of doing Xhni will build up gtUHl "charactf rs.
