Winters of s55 and 1885, likely never to be exceed

ty. though standing in ground not very fertile.
Our Grating was done in the Old-fasbioned way,
now considered better than the new methods (; the
scions were grated into stutnps cut OFF above the
neck and having the root all perfect-so to give
a perfect root and neck joined to perfect top
None of our Trees are Root Grated. we nOld

tremities and circulating system that souno 10Y

part. From such reasonable conclusions, sane
toned by orchard men of twenty years experience
in Grant County, we have undertaken to furnish
perfect trees improved by the grating process-as
well in health as in quality OF fruit.

them. If the school has them, let us see
how similar privileges appear when claimed
by the school. Take the following case:
One scholar is behind his class, but not
far enough to 60 into the next lower class.
Our teachers generally work hard, FREE
quently after school, to bring up such schol-
airs with their class. Now suppose, instead
of doing this, the teacher requires the
scholar to do nothing until the next class
comes up with him-what would parents
think Of such note as the following from
the teacher:
Sir, your son is prohibited from study
ing until the next class con es up with him
as, to try to get him up with the class just
ahead Of him, would cost us some trouble,
and by keeping him where he is, we are
saved considerable work
But we never write such note. Every
day with some scholar, we spend extra tim.
after or befo,e school, and if we can do
thus much, we feel that the parent, in con-
sidrration of his duty to only us, can put
himself, once in awhile, out Of his way, or
even make little more exertion to secure
the steady attendance of his children at
school.
Was detained until it was too late, and
was then locked out, and was, therefore,
not to blame"
REMARK: Instead Of going to school,
let him 90 to tax the cars, and instead of
getting there at the time of their leaving.
let him get there two, or any number of
minutes too late; would the above excuse
be good one? Would he be to blame !!
If he would not, who would! Can the
school, any more than the cars, be expect
ed TO back up every time passenger ar
rives after time? Shall hundreds be hin
dered, or classes be kept waiting for such
kind of scholars! Let us ask you parents,
if the regularity of the cars, has not taught
the whole travelling public a lesson in pune
tuality, and secured in one respect, habit
of proinptness that neither would nor could
have ever been witnessed by the unsteady
course of the stage coach: Let the time
table of the schools and All their reguIa
ti,ns be as systematic, and as carefully abi
ded by, as they are on greatlailway, AMI
our word for it, the habits of this nation
will continue irregular, unsteady and non
reliable but a short time at the longest.
