We have grown accustomed tp the remark
that our Schools ought TO be supplied with
apparatus for The Illustration Of various
branches Of study. This is true. There is a
great lack Of suitable apparatus in all our
schools But, before we complain Of the cX-
isting deficiency, We should consider that APP

commodity that they are quite UNeYSO 10

The study of Geography needs to be brought

Again, when Black boards and Maps have
been procured, those interested in them
should not leave them TO chance, but should
inquire after them and their use and go Cnd
see them, and see them used, and so create q
public sentiment to instruct the ignorant, TO
encourage the dilligcnt and to compel the

The Town Superintcndents, also. have a
7 duty to do. They should urge upon all, be-
I fore they enter their Schools, to make use of
every article ofnppuratus afforded them and

Meerut This brave officer, though young in

soldier. Gallantry was a conspicuous feature

youthful spirits led him TO expose himself on

to realize the heavy loss he had sustained, the
severity Of his wound and the probable effect
which that wound might have on his future
