we do so cheerfully; and hope that in do
;Gg so we are extending the sphere of
our usefulness" in a direction where it
will be properly appreciated. We hope,
therefore, that every one who earnestly
desires TO advance the educational re-
sources of his children, will adopt the
plan of our good old German friend, Pull
Up BREHMER. Try it, and ycu viii find
that waat he says is true in every respect.
Observe the school children Of your ac-
quaintance,-those who read the newspa-
pers and those who do ot,-and you vii,
easily see the difference in their educa-
tional progress; you will find the verdict
Of our German friend is correct in every
respect. The School and the Newspaper
should go hand-in-hand wherever they
exist-they are at least cousins.
