EDUCATIOXAL COLUMN
T. 0. AUBREY EDITOR.
We take the following extract
from an address before the Nation
al Educational Association with
reference to the common school
branches of study:
"They found their way into the
schools by accident and without
the intelligent choice of a person
competent to select them. Having
gained their admission to the
schools, they have, from the undue
multiplication of text-books, mo
nopolized the school-life of our
children, to the exclusion of other
equally important studies. They
give no adequate return for the
time spent upon them. Reading
and spelling occupy an undue share
of thejtime in the common schools,
a proportion of time wholly un
necessary to the proper learning
of thm, aud they afford no ade
quate return in the knowledge or
culture given for the time so oc
cupied. : After all this enormous Waste of
time and money, the number of
pupils that learn to peruse with
easy and critical intelligence the
columns of the newspaper or the
books they have occasion to con
sult, or, going beyond the mere
silent perusal, are able to render
the thoughts of the writer into
clear articulation, with DroDer in
flection and emphasis is very small
as it is. me number is matte up
chiefly ox those who did not learn
by reading in school, but from the
private perusal of books furnished
them at home or through the Sun
day schools.
Spelling, the adjunct of reading
aud writing, shows a still poorer
record and result. The common-
school pupils are few .who in later
years can spell correctly even the
words in oonimon use, or can write,
save in scrawls almost illegible.
These studies do not make intel
ligent men and women. They are
not capable of producing intelli
gence. In this respect they are
poverty stricken. How many fruit
ful and stimulative ideas does the
arithmetic give? What light does
it flash upon our common experi
ence, and how far does it serve to
solve the great questions of moral,
social and political duty, which
eacn ioul encounters in its pro
gress through life? Arithmetic as
it is ordinarily studied aud taught
in the country schools, is little
more than the guessing of so many
riddles.- '
In geography the case is still
worse, lue pupa loads his mem
ory with useless lumber. It stirs
no thought but that of weariness
of the lesson. It brings no inspi
ration, it throws no light, it ans
wers no question. It is simply au
interminable catalogue of names
of places which fades from the
memory in a fraction of the time
it took to learn it.
If you turn to grammar, the case
no better. As taught in our
conntry schools, it is not the study
i , . i , , .
of language, but the study of pnrs-
ing and criticism. i
We conclude then, and the con
clusion is as certain as it is sad,
that the seven comman school
studies, alone and unaided by sup
plementary instruction lying out
side of their own scopes and text
books, are not and caunot be sur
sources of public intelligence.
These studies do not fit then
pupils for the ordinary nvocation
of life. Tlie complaint from tin-
whole range of all the higher
schools, the colleges, medical ami
aw schools, polytechnic school
and universities is, that the com-
mon schools do not prepure tin
student to enter upon the higher
, . , , .
courses of instruction. Neither
the subjects nor the methods of ' "'Ptomsofdiseaseas well asdiscases
' themselves are oftentimes followers or
study fit the common school pu- concomitants of some unsuspected oman
nila for nv advanced course. jc disease and this is peculiarly true of
The great aim of education is,
and of right ought to be, the some
as the great aim of life. If this
aim is simply and solely that of
discipline, then the aim of educa
tion is discipline. If the aim of
life includes the acquisition of
knowledge, then education should
also include this. And if the great
aim of life goes beyond both disci
pline aud knowledge if it in
volves the activities of life, its pur
suits, its employments, and the
whole round of its performance,
then education should embrace all
these."
In commenting on the above, we
would say that it is sweepingly
disparaging, but in a great meas
ure true, as far as arithmetic, gram
ma, geography and the waste of
time in reading is concerned. But
writing, reading and spelling were
the necessary outgrowth of con
ditions. Before letters were intro
duced, iill event) were recorded by

hieroglyphics or picture-writing,
and before that time simply hand
ed down from father to son tra
ditionally. As tradition gave pluce
to picture-writing, and the latter
to written words, made up of let
ters, the first step necessary in or
der to interpret a recorded event
Was to be able to form these arbi
trary characters which represent
sounds, and understand that differ
ent combinations of thom repre
sented difierent spoken words. So
these take their position as fust
studies, not by accident or chance,
but as a necessary result of a cer
tain set of conditions, namely:
The desire of mankind to record
events aud such facts as will be of
use to further generations; and the
absolute necessity of becoming ac
quainted with the means employed
before a record can be made. Read
ing, writing aud spelling are close
ly related and must be mastered
first, and that thoroughly if we
would become expert in gath iring
knowledge from the wide illumi-
table ocean of human ideas. They
are the means we use in gathering
knowledge, and nothing more,
They develop merely the intellect
ual faculties, however, and our duty
as true educators here comos in, in
that we must introduce such sub
jects as will strengthen and de
velop the moral and physical being
as well. We must endeavor to de
velop such traits as thrift, honesty,
benevolence, justice, and purity of
life. If we as teachers do not do
this we have mistaken our calling,
aud any system of education that
does not do this is a curse.

THE ARTESIAN WELLS OF
DAKOTA.
L. F. Korns in Scientific American.
The James River Valley is one
of the remarkable agricultural val
leys of the country. The valley
proper extends from Yankton on
the south to Jamestown on the
north, -a distance of 300 miles.
Most of this vast area is level. En
tire townships can be plowed with
out a single obstruction to the plow.
This ideal agricultural valley
was strangely passed by until
about 1880. At this date the buf
falo had gone farther west; but
when the writer visited this valley
early in the eighties, the prairie
was dotted white with the bones of
this noble animal.
The pioneer found the most of
Dakota inclined to drought, caused
largely by extensive fires which
left the surface bare. This caused
drought, but since the protection
of the grasses by settlement, moist
ure has so increased that this val
ley is now teeming with productive
farms. This vulley greatly re
sembles the valley of the Nile, but
uniine tnat Historic region has its
surplus of wnter beneath instead
of nt the surface.
It is the greatest artesian well
district known, A comparison with
other districts will show that for
pressure and area over which they
are found, this valley far surpasses
them all. There are some flue
wells in France, but they are found
only iu favored localities, Some
of the wells iu France are of large
bore, but in none does the pressure
equal any one of fifty wells iu the
James Valley. Western Califor
nia, from San Diego (o near the
northern boundary of tho State, is
proving itself to be a fine artesiau
district, but strong pressure is
found only in limited areas. Near
ly every city and many of the
small villages from Yankton to
Jamestown have wells, and the
majority of these have a very
heavy pressure.
The pioneer well was put down
at Aberdeen, March 1882, by the
C.. M. & HI P. R. It Co. It is 9G0
feet tleep, with a tube 5$ inches,
made of 3-16 inch wrought iron.
Water was found in sand rock. The
water is fioft, but cannot be used in
boilers, as it foams. This well
choked up with sand for a time,
'mt afterward opened with its
original force.
In 1S81 the city put down a well
1)08 feet tleep, 5.3-10 inch tube. A
system of water works was put iu.
i'lie city, with 5,000 inhabitants,
has the best of fire protection,
four streams at one time can be
thrown over the highest of build
ings, Aberdeen and surrounding
jountry are very level, so to get

such as Pullman, 111., has, became
necessary. , 1 lie system is now
orapleted, aud tho result is per
fect. The pumps have a capacity
of 50,000 gallons per hour. A float
makes the pumps automatic, so
that they work only when there is.
sewerage to ue raised, tor a cost
of only a few thousand dollars this
city has water works and a pump
ing sewerage system without oost of
fuel, engineers, or even oil. Tho
pressure of this well is about 200
per square inch. A two-foot vein
of coal was struck in the first two
wells.
Ellendule, north of Aberdeen 37
miles, bus a well 1,087 feet deep.
Water was found in sand rock be
neath impervious stratum of shale.
