A School of Pedagogy has been arranged in the Chautauqua University. Its purpose is to assist the directors of popular education, and especially teachers, in the study—1st, of the subjects taught in the schools; 2nd, of the principles and art of teaching; and, 3d, of the history of education. Two courses of study and of reading will be arranged. One course may be completed in a year, the other in two years. Books to be studied and read will be suggested. Examinations for promotion and certificates will be made at the close of each year. The design of the course of studies and reading is to prepare school directors and teachers for the work of organizing and teaching the schools in accordance with the best methods. Any person may become a member of the School of Pedagogy by paying the Matriculation Fee of $5, unless it has already been paid in connection with some other department, and the Tuition Fee of $10. The Tuition Fee is a yearly fee. All fees are payable in advance, to R. S. Holmes, Registrar of the Chautauqua University, Plainfield, N. J., from whom all particulars in reference to the school may be obtained.

Miss Susan Hayes Ward, in her article in the March impression of The Chautauquan, spoke disparagingly of electro-silicon as a cleaner for silver. Some good housekeepers represent it to be both a very useful and safe cleaning material. In all such cases, however, the person using the article must be the judge. But in this case we favor the opinion of the good housekeepers.

The Easter cards of the season just past were very bright and beautiful, and many of them exceedingly rich. Prang’s cards, as usual, took the lead in artistic design and fine finish. They issued a very large number of new designs, and some very taking novelties in satin and plush.

At Siloam Springs, Benton Co., Arkansas, another Chautauqua has been established. A joint stock company, with ample capital, has been organized, and a state charter secured. Prof. E. Dolgoruki was elected director-general. Siloam Springs is a place of 2,000 inhabitants, near the southwest corner of the state, one mile from Indian Territory. An amphitheater large enough to seat 2,500 persons is in process of erection, and efforts are being made to secure a good and diversified program for the coming session, which opens June 11, 1885, and continues three weeks.

In the March number of The Chautauquan, among the errata, appears the following: “Arann, the Rev. J. M., not Araun.” It seems it is not right yet; it should be Avann.
