Modes of Instruction Philosophically Considered. ce (No. 1.) Education, at the present time, 1s exciting the profouudest interest It is duties imposed on the social life of Great institutions for educating have been organized and are at work all over the country. Boards for inspectin,and examining have been established. The law commands all children to be educated. They must spend their early years at school; and the efficiency of these schools and the effects produced on the pupils are tested and recorded by the excellence of the reports sent to the chiefs of their (lepartments. Speeches are everywhere made proclaiming the importance of education for developing the civilization of the country. Schools and colleges are being multiplied all over the land. So warm is the flame with which patriotiem burns in this most: interesting subject, an effort is being, made in ite behalf in every locality by those who, realizing its importance, love to write, to think, and te discuss this transcendent theme, and ardent efforts are made on every side to develop in the young an ever increasing amount of mental and, along with it, meral culture. . That civilization means education; that it has education for its foundation; that success in the arts, in trade, in manufacturing, with better and happier homes for the laboring as for the richer classes, necessarily implies education, are truths to which the eyes= of the whole world are more and more directed. Under circumstances and feelings such as these, the question comes forward with irresistible force, What is education? Whatis it that education is called to do for the young? To bestow knowledge stored up in the brain, is the almost universal answer. Teachers pour out long lectures of elaborated knowledge. It is gathered up by memory, and reproduced with accuracy to the questioning of teachers. Pupils of the higher order are trained to write out with correctness the sentences which have fallen from the teacher’s lips, and he. proudly points out their excellence to the examiners sent to inquire into his success. Even universities have beea captivated by the fine compositions and brilliant statements elicited by their examinations. They poins to the splendid compositions sent io by candidates for . honors, to the multitude of elaborate statements in reply to historical inquiries, and they ask: What results can be finer or more powerfully testify toa grand education? But is this the true, the one all-important answer to thecritical question, What is education? Is memory, however wide its range and accurate its responses, the very essence of 3 human being, the root of his civilization ? Will the repetition of a whole book, however excellent*the book, by itself alone prove that the power of thinking has reached its highest development, that the mind has reached the greatest strength of which nature has made it susceptible ? All knowledge is valuable; yet is the possession of the largest possible stock of knowledge, restingon memory alone, the greatest intellectual force which the human mind can acquire? Would the ability to repeat correctly every page of an encyclopedia make the man who possessed this treasure the most commanding thinker, the most powerful discoverer of truth,the most vigorous reasoner? Itis almost idle to ask such questions, so glaring is the absurdity with which they deal, and so steadily is the country opening its eyes to the certain truth that it will never learn from this quarter what education really is. Memory will never generate able men. At what cost arethe powers of the memory developed? Those who adoat the memory as an eduoational tool are ever exerting a greater pressure on their pupils. The acquisition of knowledge is held to be true education; and the more earriest and roble-minded is the feeling to rescue the young from ignoranee, the stronger will be the effort to pile up knowledge on the memory, and the more fatal will be the consequences of the unhappy victims of such.a theory of education. Longer to be rementbered are given, severer codes of attendance enforced, and thus a mass of over-education is required under which the brains of countless youthful sufferers sink into pain and often into lunacy. Boys and girls are thereby made extremely nervous. “Children night after night, their mind wandering, call out fragments of their instruction. They are forced up to a certain pitch “to pass,” and from the very nature of the case, the knowledge thus acquired rolls away like water. Boys and girls are found in hospitals, suffering under nervous diseases which physicians declare to proceed from overtaxed brains. ‘‘The fad of cramming” is the source of -all this nischief, To cram is not to teach,neither for the teacher nor the taught. There is no sympathy, ng joint acY «tf L. Hyman, Proprietor, Z ‘tion of thought and feeling between and more frequent talks or lectures’ pupil and teacher in cramming. They do not live together in the same thoughts nor hunt together. in the same field, To cram is simply. to load, to ple up as ona cart; to summon the memory” to “gathers up certain things and store them sway until called for. It does not discover knowledge by mieans of the thiukiny intelligence of the pupil’s wind, If only the memory repeats covreatly the words required, the examiner generally does not care to inquire, or has no means of inquiring, whether they have been understood. Che right words are on the paper and that is enough. With all our mental philosophy it is forgotton that memory is far severer for the brain than the exercise of intelligence, and thus the thinking power is struch with paralysis. Viva voce has been flung aside and paper work substituted in its place. True education is the thinking power of the human mind, and its mighty instrumentis the human yoce, employed partly in examination, but with incomparably more power and effect in actual teaching itself. The Castleton Company. » The Theatre was well filled Friday evening with an appreciative audience, and the Castletonians gave @ performance well worth seeing. While ‘‘All at Sea” is not so taking a framework for the company’s specialties as ‘‘Pop,” in which Miss Castleton played here once some time ago, and while there ie not with her now any one who fills the place of the inimitable Mackey, the company is nevertheless a fine one and the play abounds with humorous situations. Castleton is of course the bright particular star of the organization. She has lost none of the witching ways with which she first captured the hearts of the American people, indeed she has, if anything, improved since she came across the sea from merrie Englaud. ‘‘For Goodness Sake Don’t Say I Told You,” and its newer companion-song, “The Good Young Man Who Died,” secured for her eneores without number, and her various otber specialties were almost equally well received. Katie Cleveland, whose childhood days were spent in this city and Grass Valley where her friends and admirers are numbered: by the hundreds, was the ‘Laughing Sunbeam” of the cast, and upon her appearance before the footlights the petite favorite was welcomed back to her old home with enthusiastic and long continued applause. Katie is a cnarmingcomedienne, and her friends are proud of the progress she has made in her profession since she entered it not long ago. The Whitney sisters, Effie and Annie, are two beautiful and sweét-voiced vocalists and actresses, who not long since came from the Kast where they are well known as operatic singers, Their Tyrolean warblings and novel nusical sketches were received with much favor. The gentlemen of the combination are five in number, and include Mr. Bishop (formerly of Emerson’s minstrels), whois not only a good actor, but has a rich and powerful bass vuice of which be has the nost perfect control ; Mr. Calburt, a dialect comedian and character artist who cannot be excelled in his live ; Mr. Williams, interpreter of Irish roles and dancer ; Mr. Bronson, vocalist, and last but by no means least in point of merit and popularity, Mr. Wray, whose equal in personations of the ‘‘Solomon Lethe company gave its second and last performance. Betting on Election. ¥ The election law says that every person who makes, offers or ,accepts any wager or bet upon the result of any election, or upon the success or failure of any person or candidate, or.upon the number of votes to be cast, either in the aggregate or for any particular candidate, or upon the vote to be cast by any person, is guilty of a misdemeanor.

It is universally admitted to have been a thoroughly representative body. Ithad for its purpose the inauguration of a movement for concerted action on the part of the people of the counties of Amador, Butte, Colusa, El Dorado, Lake, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Sacramesto, Shasta, Sierra, Solano, Siskiyou, Sutter, Tehama, Trinity, Yolo and Yuba counties: people them with greater population; disseminate reliable information concerning their agricultural, horticultural, viticultural, manufacturing, mining, and all other industries, and the upbuilding of the same, and the introduction of such varied earth products; manufacturies and industries as will invite to the section a large.desirable class of people, and thus augment trade, enhance values, lessen taxation and directly promote the interests of all the people, and the vocations they follow. The scheme has received the unanimous indorsement of the press, the emphatic approval of the best thought of the country, and is commended by the experience of our brethren on the south. We therefore invite your hearty co-operation in the work in hand; solicit your advice and shall esteem your aid of especial value, and especially request that you will devote your best efforts to the auxiliary organization in your county called for by the organic plan adopted by the Convention, and a copy of which we inclose. ‘Lo that end we trust that you will make personal sacrifices of tishe and energy to bring about speedy organization in your county, and that it be done in time to be reported to the Directory at its meeting October 13th. We deem it of the highest importanee that such action should be taken at once, and the machinery provided for put into operation in time to avail of benefits expected to be derived early in the pew year. The Board of Directors 1s called to meet in Sacramento, at the Board of Trade rooms, at noon, October 13th, for permanent organization. At that time it is hoped that the vacanciesin the Board will he filled by action taken in the respective county sub-associations, and that every county will be represented without exception.

Modes of Instruction Philosophically Considered. ce (No. 1.) Education, at the present time, 1s exciting the profouudest interest It is duties imposed on the social life of Great institutions for educating have been organized and are at work all over the country. Boards for inspectin,and examining have been established. The law commands all children to be educated. They must spend their early years at school; and the efficiency of these schools and the effects produced on the pupils are tested and recorded by the excellence of the reports sent to the chiefs of their (lepartments. Speeches are everywhere made proclaiming the importance of education for developing the civilization of the country. Schools and colleges are being multiplied all over the land. So warm is the flame with which patriotiem burns in this most: interesting subject, an effort is being, made in ite behalf in every locality by those who, realizing its importance, love to write, to think, and te discuss this transcendent theme, and ardent efforts are made on every side to develop in the young an ever increasing amount of mental and, along with it, meral culture. . That civilization means education; that it has education for its foundation; that success in the arts, in trade, in manufacturing, with better and happier homes for the laboring as for the richer classes, necessarily implies education, are truths to which the eyes= of the whole world are more and more directed. Under circumstances and feelings such as these, the question comes forward with irresistible force, What is education? Whatis it that education is called to do for the young? To bestow knowledge stored up in the brain, is the almost universal answer. Teachers pour out long lectures of elaborated knowledge. It is gathered up by memory, and reproduced with accuracy to the questioning of teachers. Pupils of the higher order are trained to write out with correctness the sentences which have fallen from the teacher’s lips, and he. proudly points out their excellence to the examiners sent to inquire into his success. Even universities have beea captivated by the fine compositions and brilliant statements elicited by their examinations. They poins to the splendid compositions sent io by candidates for . honors, to the multitude of elaborate statements in reply to historical inquiries, and they ask: What results can be finer or more powerfully testify toa grand education? But is this the true, the one all-important answer to thecritical question, What is education? Is memory, however wide its range and accurate its responses, the very essence of 3 human being, the root of his civilization ? Will the repetition of a whole book, however excellent*the book, by itself alone prove that the power of thinking has reached its highest development, that the mind has reached the greatest strength of which nature has made it susceptible ? All knowledge is valuable; yet is the possession of the largest possible stock of knowledge, restingon memory alone, the greatest intellectual force which the human mind can acquire? Would the ability to repeat correctly every page of an encyclopedia make the man who possessed this treasure the most commanding thinker, the most powerful discoverer of truth,the most vigorous reasoner? Itis almost idle to ask such questions, so glaring is the absurdity with which they deal, and so steadily is the country opening its eyes to the certain truth that it will never learn from this quarter what education really is. Memory will never generate able men. At what cost arethe powers of the memory developed? Those who adoat the memory as an eduoational tool are ever exerting a greater pressure on their pupils. The acquisition of knowledge is held to be true education; and the more earriest and roble-minded is the feeling to rescue the young from ignoranee, the stronger will be the effort to pile up knowledge on the memory, and the more fatal will be the consequences of the unhappy victims of such.a theory of education. Longer to be rementbered are given, severer codes of attendance enforced, and thus a mass of over-education is required under which the brains of countless youthful sufferers sink into pain and often into lunacy. Boys and girls are thereby made extremely nervous. “Children night after night, their mind wandering, call out fragments of their instruction. They are forced up to a certain pitch “to pass,” and from the very nature of the case, the knowledge thus acquired rolls away like water. Boys and girls are found in hospitals, suffering under nervous diseases which physicians declare to proceed from overtaxed brains. ‘‘The fad of cramming” is the source of -all this nischief, To cram is not to teach,neither for the teacher nor the taught. There is no sympathy, ng joint acY «tf L. Hyman, Proprietor, Z ‘tion of thought and feeling between and more frequent talks or lectures’ pupil and teacher in cramming. They do not live together in the same thoughts nor hunt together. in the same field, To cram is simply. to load, to ple up as ona cart; to summon the memory” to “gathers up certain things and store them sway until called for. It does not discover knowledge by mieans of the thiukiny intelligence of the pupil’s wind, If only the memory repeats covreatly the words required, the examiner generally does not care to inquire, or has no means of inquiring, whether they have been understood. Che right words are on the paper and that is enough. With all our mental philosophy it is forgotton that memory is far severer for the brain than the exercise of intelligence, and thus the thinking power is struch with paralysis. Viva voce has been flung aside and paper work substituted in its place. True education is the thinking power of the human mind, and its mighty instrumentis the human yoce, employed partly in examination, but with incomparably more power and effect in actual teaching itself. The Castleton Company. » The Theatre was well filled Friday evening with an appreciative audience, and the Castletonians gave @ performance well worth seeing. While ‘‘All at Sea” is not so taking a framework for the company’s specialties as ‘‘Pop,” in which Miss Castleton played here once some time ago, and while there ie not with her now any one who fills the place of the inimitable Mackey, the company is nevertheless a fine one and the play abounds with humorous situations. Castleton is of course the bright particular star of the organization. She has lost none of the witching ways with which she first captured the hearts of the American people, indeed she has, if anything, improved since she came across the sea from merrie Englaud. ‘‘For Goodness Sake Don’t Say I Told You,” and its newer companion-song, “The Good Young Man Who Died,” secured for her eneores without number, and her various otber specialties were almost equally well received. Katie Cleveland, whose childhood days were spent in this city and Grass Valley where her friends and admirers are numbered: by the hundreds, was the ‘Laughing Sunbeam” of the cast, and upon her appearance before the footlights the petite favorite was welcomed back to her old home with enthusiastic and long continued applause. Katie is a cnarmingcomedienne, and her friends are proud of the progress she has made in her profession since she entered it not long ago. The Whitney sisters, Effie and Annie, are two beautiful and sweét-voiced vocalists and actresses, who not long since came from the Kast where they are well known as operatic singers, Their Tyrolean warblings and novel nusical sketches were received with much favor. The gentlemen of the combination are five in number, and include Mr. Bishop (formerly of Emerson’s minstrels), whois not only a good actor, but has a rich and powerful bass vuice of which be has the nost perfect control ; Mr. Calburt, a dialect comedian and character artist who cannot be excelled in his live ; Mr. Williams, interpreter of Irish roles and dancer ; Mr. Bronson, vocalist, and last but by no means least in point of merit and popularity, Mr. Wray, whose equal in personations of the ‘‘Solomon Lethe company gave its second and last performance.

It is universally admitted to have been a thoroughly representative body. Ithad for its purpose the inauguration of a movement for concerted action on the part of the people of the counties of Amador, Butte, Colusa, El Dorado, Lake, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Sacramesto, Shasta, Sierra, Solano, Siskiyou, Sutter, Tehama, Trinity, Yolo and Yuba counties: people them with greater population; disseminate reliable information concerning their agricultural, horticultural, viticultural, manufacturing, mining, and all other industries, and the upbuilding of the same, and the introduction of such varied earth products; manufacturies and industries as will invite to the section a large.desirable class of people, and thus augment trade, enhance values, lessen taxation and directly promote the interests of all the people, and the vocations they follow. The scheme has received the unanimous indorsement of the press, the emphatic approval of the best thought of the country, and is commended by the experience of our brethren on the south. We therefore invite your hearty co-operation in the work in hand; solicit your advice and shall esteem your aid of especial value, and especially request that you will devote your best efforts to the auxiliary organization in your county called for by the organic plan adopted by the Convention, and a copy of which we inclose. ‘Lo that end we trust that you will make personal sacrifices of tishe and energy to bring about speedy organization in your county, and that it be done in time to be reported to the Directory at its meeting October 13th. We deem it of the highest importanee that such action should be taken at once, and the machinery provided for put into operation in time to avail of benefits expected to be derived early in the pew year. The Board of Directors 1s called to meet in Sacramento, at the Board of Trade rooms, at noon, October 13th, for permanent organization. At that time it is hoped that the vacanciesin the Board will he filled by action taken in the respective county sub-associations, and that every county will be represented without exception.
