BY PROF. U. S. McHARGUE
Of the lteedville Public School
Whence we Came and
Whither Tending.
MAM' TEACIIESS ATTENDED
The Local Teachers UeUtate held
at Forest Uroro hoyeaiber
20th, 1W8.
"Whence we
tending?"
caroo and
whither
This la a great question, as it were
spanning time and eternity, and la
worthy of some of our beat thoughts
"Whence we came?" may not be of
the greatest importance to us as teach
ers of public' scnopls, but "Whither
tending?" may be regarded as of par
amount importance. Not that we
would have the school, which in the
work of the slate, usurp the work of
the church because there is plenty
for each to do in itsi proper sphere.
Whither tending?" viewed in a
broad sense, brings to mind the work
of the church in preparing for eter
nity and the work of the school in
preparing for a successful life in this
world.
We may look upon life' in two
ways. One is presented (bus:
Life is before you! from the fat
ed road, you cannot turn, then take
ye up the load. Not yours to tread
or leave the unanown way. Ye
must go o'er it; meet ye what ye
may. Gird up your souls within
you to Ihe deed. Angels and fellow
spirits bid you speed."
The other way is viewed in con.
lrt with ibis. Life's fated road"
and "take up the load" present life
somewhat In the light of a burden,
rather than the view we would take
In contrast, something to be sought
and enjoyed. May Uod save us from
seeing in life only a burden and
from stamping such a view and im
pression upon the dear ones under
our charge.
But well may we consider both
these ways of viewing life; the dark
side and take the bright side that
life may have. We believe in look
ing at the bright side, the beauties,
and the grandeur of life. We believe
in our Influence regarding these
thing giving a good impression. We
do lot believe In making life unhap
py and miserable simply by think
ing and speaking only of the contrar
ies and looking at the dark side of
life. But again rather would we lose
the value of the view presented by
the lines, "let us make this very fact
part of Ihe foundations for proper
development.
This ambition, the active life, the
buoyancy of youth, the desire for
fun, and the love of pleasure are such
potent factors among young people
that they may over step the bounds
of propriety, and be arrayed on the
side of wrong almost ere we are
aware, if we are not unflinchingly
watchful, careful and prudent with
those entrusted to us. But these
very characteristics of youth may
lie turned to good account if they are
directed in the right channels of activ
ity.
The model school of fifty years
hence may be very much changed
from the schools that we now have,
I Hut lut na mil wnrrv arrait fhA arlirml
being what it is. This is practically
an undeveloped country in the far
west. Let us take hold and do our
oart like men and women and be
happy with the best that we can do,
We may consider man as having a
four sided nature, a physical, an In
tellectual, a moral and a religious or
spiritual nature. Of course man is a
unit with all these combined and In
this sense the school must deal with
all as ihe child is the man In mi na
ture. But those that are the special
charge and care of the school are the
intellectual and moral natures.
The nature of this culture should
be adapted to the individual to be
cultivated. The little child coming
to us should be studied or looked in
to. We should be able to have some
comprehension of what he or she
will be when a man or a woman if
we would direct that culture to the
best advantage. In the school room
the supreme idea must take a sub
sidiary place. The high end must
be to give knowledge so that one
may live arighL The first day
child eastra school we should begin
In hA'.p bias WM ay hi asoral char-
Landiaaj ed aura that
lea form thebet material for teach
ing ethics to chiidreu. But there are
many ways I" vhi' h we may teach
morals. Me. ry -ems iua form a
part of Ihe ev. ry d.iy work. When
pupils are of - n aiivsneed grade care
should begi. .1 to .umpire them with
a love of literature. Also direct les
sons of wuat is right and what is
wrong u.y be profitably given when
wisely presented.
The home influence of a child is
perhaps oar greatest help or hind
rance as lite case may be. How of
ten the teacher regrets that the pupil
is to be subjected to outside influence
after school hours that will undo all
he has done during the day. lie has
for instance, tried to impress upon
the pupil the duty of courteous and
loving treatment of others, but be
knows that the home life is lacking
in ordinary refinements. The teach
er should seek to solve the problem
how to train his pupils to resist the
disorganizing and blighting influen
ceswith which they come in contact
on the street and in various places
out-side the school room.
Some children are pampered at
home. Some are frequently show
ered With words of abuse and Impro
priety when they are away from
school restraints. The eyes, ears and
minds of young people, when they
are not under the schools control are
very sensitive to the degrading in
fluence of the drunkard, the profane,
the vulgar the hyprocrite, the liar,
and the home influence should try
to be such that all there will not lead
the young astray. Do we know the
outside ioflueuces aud their power?
If not let us make It our business to
know and do all we can to counteract
their injurious effects.
Intellectual power is the great ac
complishing power of the great
works of the world. Before the phy
sical labor is ierformed to build the
railroads, tlie locomotives, the steam
ers, lo span the great rivers with
bridges, to erect the massive build-
ing.1, lo harvest the immense crops of
grain and fruit, the human intellect
has dealt with these things and the
work is performed for the very pur
pose of satisfying or meeting its re
quiruients. Io't'llertiiMl and moral culture is a
strengthening r making exact of
these powers. Physical culture Is a
strer.vthening or making exact of
physicaf" Mwrr. "The -yor.ng - man
goes into the gymuaseum and
strengthens himself by exercise.
What kind of exercise? Exercise suit
ed to his muscles, not to severe, not
to light. Too severe exercise will
weaken. Also if he is lazily inactive
the tending Is to weakness. The
same law will hold good in the intel
lectual and moral culture to the act
ual wants of the boys and girls. In
tellectual is relating to the power to
judge and comprehend. Moral is
pertaining to practice or manners in
reference to right and wrong. These
should go, as it were, hand in hand
from the cradle to the grave.
While we should give the more
importance and tlie value to the
moral, let us bear In mind that we
will not have as good and strong
moral character without a good in
tellectual development as may be
had with such; neither a gixjd Intel
lectual development without a good
moral character as we may have
with it. In some rtspects they are
much like what a man and wife
should be, each a hulp and benefit to
the other.
When a pupil comes to you give
him work of such proper kind and
quantity that it will build him op
and strengthen him Intellectually
and morally. In some way and In
some how give it to him so that he
will feel and understand that it is for
his own good to do as you want him
to do. Do not try to teach the boys
to do right simply because they will
be flogged if they don't. But, further
more, let it be distinctly understood
thaf If nothing else will prevent mis
conduct harsh measures will firmly
and unconquerably intervene for the
the right, Try to teach the boys and
girls to love right doing and right
living.
There are beauties, many, rare,
In this world of labor,
For those who gladly share
Life's blessings with a neighbor.
Never, never, allow those whom
you teach to come to the conclusion
that you are so good that you are
good for nothing.
If the teacher of the schools, as
they are today, would be abundantly
successful let him have a full measure
of patience, firmness, virtue, deter
mination, industry, love, prudence,
energy and slrenth t rength intel
lectual, moral, physical, and relig
ious. A standards of cultnre let us have:
Well directed industry; Kindness
and love may correct a miltitudeof
faults; A lie is one of the worst
wrong; There is no other power
like the teacher as a livl ng tuodel.

The Plcquart case seems in the
way of raising even a greater storm
than the Dreyfus affair. The papers
favorable to the general staff are
dumb in the face of the barefaced de
cision of the military governor of
Paris, General Zurllnden, to try Col.
Plcquart by court-martial, while
those favoring the revision are furious
at this new attempt to defeat justice,
and protest against the court-martial
being ordered. Nobody believes Col.
Plcquart guilty of any crime except
a courageous desire to render justice
to Dreyfus, but on all sides it is re
cognized that, in a practically secret
trial, he may be condemned on some
technicality, thus attaining the pre
sent object, which Is to throw doubt
upon his depositions before the court
of cassation in the Drejfus trial.
Every one is asking the motive ol
General Zurllnden, in so persistently
pursuing Col. Plcquart, aud why a
court martial, if necessary, could not
be postponed until the decision of
the court of cassation has been given.
Every one is asking whether it is a
desperate attempt to shield the ex
minister of war, Geueral Mereier,
and the general statT, even at tin
risk ot precipitating disaster and the
nation's hatred, and in any event of
drlfing every doubting person into
the Dreyfuslte party.
A protest against the court-martial
ot Plcquart, bearing the signatures of
leading authors, politieans and jour
nalists, Is being widely circulated for
further names, and will be presented
to the government.
This evening It is reported that M.
de Freyclnet, minister for war, has
consented to be Interpellated on the
subject in the chamber of deputies
next Monday, when a sensational
scene may be expected.
Col. Plcquart continued his evi
dence before the court of cassation
throughout the whole day, and his
deposition is expected to occuyy sev
eral days more. There is still hoie
that he may receive Justice, owing to
the presence on the court-martial of
Col. Bonnal. who is a great friend of
Plcquart, but M. Clemenceau, in Au
rora declares that the court-martial
is packed, and accuses M. Freycinet
of allowing an innocent man to be
victimized in order to increase his
own chances at the next presidential
election.

Today and every day there are as
sertions that the republican policy
thus far has produces nothing but a
treasury deficit and an extravagant
advance of prices to the disadvantage
of consumers. Theae are assertions
hard to answer within the limit of
profitable discussion. The treasury
shows a deficit only because the war
makes a .difference, and there has
been no advance In prices of protect
ed or other manufactured goods, as
men commonly assert. To put the
thing plainly, both statements are
made by men who tell the untruth or
take great pains not to ascertain the
truth.
The dally treasury reports arejpub
lished with regularity, and while
they show smaller receipts for cue
tomes. In October than usual for reas
ons not bard to find it is easy to un
derstand that the undecided condi
tion ot trade and of the Industries bus
curtailed receipts without reference
to the present tariff. The assertion
as to the effect of the existing tariff
uoon rjrices bss nothing whatever to
support It. The level of prices reach
ed after the collapse of the loiter
speculation has been lowered because
of an exceptional and disappointing
influence on the markets for wheat,
and also of all grains. The range f r
all other than (arm products Is on
the whole larger since last May the
season considered than it has been in
any previous year.
Sometimes one Is discouraged in
the attempt to submit facts in re
sponse to such baw untruths. Any
statement of prices in general or in
detail ia comfortably ignored by the
people whose theories it does not fit,
ami tli.-ir falsehoods go OU all the
same. But it is the fait tout the
general average 'f all noli feriu prii--
is lower than it w vs at any lime
when the in lusti-iea of the country
were fairly prosperous.
The depression in the 11 it tt in in

lieyoud the swer of nnytaidy to dis

not only producing more than at any
previous time in the history of the
country but according to the latest
returns is actually consuming iu
manufacture more than ever before,
and there are also export demand.-,

has only to read the statements of
the leading men at tlie last meeting
of manufacturers in that country to
realize how distressing the American
competition has liecome. What is to

votees of foreigu industries here?
Are we lo let everything foreign

A few wis-ks ago the clearing
house returns shows a very slightly
falling otf for the entire country from
the corresponding week of last year.
Tlie local fusion organ at once howl
ed itself hoarse with glee as it called
attention to the fact aud fuirly chok-
inir with laughter, said : "Where is
your McKitilcy prosperity?" The
clearing house lelurns since that
time have shown a stonily increase
over last years business and our pop
ulist friend has been corresKndinglj'
depressed. Nothing can more clear
ly demonstrate the fact that populist
nourishes when business- is depressed
and commercial and industrial pur
suits feel Ihe 1 1 res-ore of hard times
It is then tho demagogue and the
populist editor do a thriving busi
ness. Prosperity kills populism as surely
as light dispells darkness. We are
led to make this observation by noti
cing an elaborate effort to convince
the laborers ot western Washington
that they are very purely paid. Un
able to deny that the mills are run
ning and labor fully employed the
lu-ion paper resorts to the last refuse
of demagogy, the effort to make the
men at work dissatNliisi with their
lot. This self-constituted walking
delegate will fail in his purpose. Tlie
work ingmen's memories are not so
short but they can contrast their con
dition two years ago, under the
workings of the Wilson tariff law,
with their present condition and the
rosy outlook for the future, under
the Dingley tariff.
