ted to $3.50, which with other contributions
will, says the Wing, 60 far to relieve all

appeared to US to be something incongru
Gus in the practice of dancing and feasting
in order that the poor might not fast, but
that 10 better than to let suffering remain
uarelieved. They used to build churches
BY the proceeds from lotteries, and there
are still many Of our social operations which
though apparently contradictory, yet like
two negatives in grammar, produce afirma-
tive good consequences. Nothing Of this
kind seems to have been thought necessary
Tor the relief Of the poor in Davenport this
season, but we think that the cases Of suf-
iering among us have not escaped the at
tention OF the benevolent.

AMERICANS IN CANADA.-Of late, many
Americans, induced by the cheapness Of lands,
abundance of certain varieties of instructed la
Dor or other causes, have settled in Canada and
established their various branches of manufac-
lures. We notice recent instance of this kind
mentioned in the Rochester Democrat. A Ro-
chester tobacconist has commenced in Toronto
the manufacture on large scale, of plug TO-
bacco. He has nine presses, and intends erect
ing six more. But probably the great secret of
his selecting that point for the business is, that
he is there enabled to procure, at comparatively
low wages, the services of experienced negro
workmen, fugitives from Virginia, whom, Of
course, he could not expect to employ upon our
soil. Forty nine of these, all accustomed to the
business, he has now at work in his factory.

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.
BRYsoS BURROWS. EDITOR.
School Books.

The common schools of the State stand in great
need of uniform series Of text books. The pres
ent loose arrangement of admitting any and every
thing into the school room injurious to the pupils
and in the aggregate large and useless expense
to parents.
Children can never make any progress by
changing school books every few months. The
arrangement always and the principles of the sub
ject change frequently with the author, and to in
sist upon a child to commit to memory the ar
months, is folly and ruinous to the mind. There
are but few teachers who do not prefer some par
ticuIar textbook, and the great majority of them
prefer those which they used when they were
"schoo boys some twenty years ago." which now
have little or no affinity with our language. To
select series of books every way adapted to our
schools would require much judcious consideration,
for perhaps no class of publications contain so
many errors, and the first principles taught are
most lasting view to elementary correctness
should be made matter Of special, importance
We consider uniformity of books, throughout the
State, upon the following subjects, necessary:
Language-Commencing with the alphabet and
including the forms and sounds of letters spelling,
pronunciation, accent, etc. Sccond-its use, COM
mencing with the use of words in consideration,
including their meaning, formation, classification,
the structure of sentences and composition.
Numbers-Commencing with the elements, in
Guiding mental and written arithmetic, and their
use in the higher branches Of mathematics.
Geography, natural and civil history, and the
science Of government.
Exercises for the ear and the voice, in rhetorical
reading, defamation and vocal music.
The above are few of the important subjects
which should be classified, so to meet the wants OF
the primary, secondary, and grammar schools OF
the State A uniform series of books might soon
be introduced into our schools upon the recommen-
dation of the State Superintendent, or by his ap-
pointing several experienced teachers Of the State
to consider and report upon the practicability of
the plan
