Bears are more numerous this season

which presents an example of maternal
care by mare for her colt that is rarely
exhibited by the horse kind if it was not

"a colt by her side, was feeding in a pas

bears-an old ole and two cubs nearly full
grown. Alarmed for the safety Of her
colt the mare f-rget the usual fear Of the
horse for these animals, and attacked them
with such 7igor that they were forced to re-
treat. They were pursued SO closely that
one Of them was compelled to seek safety,

ORGAN of the GRANT Co.TEACHERs' ASSOCIATION
DAVID PARSONS, Of Tafton, Editor.
ABSENT SCHOLARS Continued

In carrying out The most approved plan
to secure constant attendance, we long
since adopted the absent card rule and the
absent card system
This plan secures uniformity Of atten-
dance; as near regularity of attendance as
is possible, unless some plan can be con-
|trived to do away with sickness and cases
Of pressing emergency"
We call this plan wheelin the machin-
cry of our school, and, although it is de-
pendent upon the accurate motion of it is
dependent upon the accurate motion of the
other wheels, it is CT great Importance, and,
if properly geared and adjusted, and
promptly kept in action, it, we think, ans
wers, not only all the purposes for which it
is designed, but aids in keeping other parts
of the machinery in repair, and is one great
instrument in preventing injury to the
great whole, and is constantly standing
sentinel to watch against the dangers Of
the rock upon which SO many schools have
been ruined.
The following is one Of the rules to which
we refer. 1t can be adopted by every
Board of Education, as we'll as by Boards
of Trustees:
Sec. 5, Chap. ". of our School By
Laws says: Hardness being considered
greater evil than entire absence, the doors
shall be closed against al! the students
coming after the opening school bell ceas-
es TO toll"
By our Recitation Cards, at the time of
recitation, our teachers are enabled with
out thought to determine the names of all
such scholars as are absent. Alta prop
err time, generally between classes, blank
cards stating such absence are made out,
and, at noon and night, just before sch Dol
closes, are given to scholars going the
proper way, to be carried to the parents of
the scholars thus absent.
1t is the duty of any scholar going by
an absent scholars house, to present such
cards when SO instructed by the school,
If properly managed, there will never be
any trouble to secure the aid of all the
scholars in carrying out this plan of for
warding cards, and Of getting them return
ed. We have never had single scholar
refuse to deliver card, when SO request
ed. In case the u sent scholar is sick or
prevented from returning, the one that de-
livered the card, will call and get it, after
the reason Of the absence signed by the
pareat is written thereon.
The following is the form of the Assent
CARD sent to the parents of absent schol-
arS:

er of Board of Education.

CHAP. w, SEC. When any scholar
has been absent from school, and the pa
rent or guardian has been notified by card
the said scholar shall return the said card
together with full reply in writing, By
the said parent or guardian, to the ques
tions contained in the said card, before the
said scholar can be permitted again to en-
ter the school.
We have received from teachers who
adopted these rules, similar statements to
the following:
The enforcement of this regulation
has secured better attendance at the open
ing Of OUR school, mornings and moons, by
so per cent, than we ever had withou,
such regulation. We now have no tar.
diness, and, with our present arrangement
but little absence. .
Of the 100 per cent. Of the scholars that
are absent from school, so per cent. will
be prevented by requiring the scholar to
answer the question: Mas he detained q
and 40 per cent by requiring an answer to
the question: For what reason? The 9TH
err 10 per cent is generally caused by sick
ness and other unavoidable causes, which,
of course, we can never expect to prevent
We have now no complaint against the
Absent Card rule. On the contrary, we
often hear from the citizens in justification
Of it, many reasons that, had we room,
would be of service to teachers, and aston
ish even the anti-Absent Gard peo-
pie. Says one parent: should frequent
" let my boy stay at home when he max $
such request, but / tell him that I can
give no reason when the card comes; and
don't want to send word back to the
school, that he had no reason, or that he
stayed out to play, or to visit, or to do any
other thing unnecessary; and therefore /
make him 60 every day; and in this way
his mind is kept on the school, on bis les
sons, and he is encouraged by his keeping
up with his class, to love the school and to
always get good lessons.
Let any thinking man Of order and sys-
TEN, consider upon the above statement,
and he will most certainly come to the firm
conclusion to have the Absent Card rule
adopted in whatever school be may be the
most interested.

The Atlantic Cable-Faint Hopes

We have advices from England by tn
Anglo Saxon to the 4th inst:
The London Times says that all appear
ances Indicate that the present Atlabtif
Telegraph cable must be given up, an(
hopes that the experience gained will b
used to insure that success which is finally
certain. 1t admits the great superiority
Of the Niagara over the Agamemnon, an(
thinks that ship SHOULD be specially con
structed for the laying of the cable.
Notwithstanding this discouraging opin
ion, the shares Of the Atlantic Telegraph
Company had improved to e42o ane
e45O.
But it appears that there are some diff
ferences of opinion about its total failure:
The London papers publish an able IS
port by Mr.. Henley, the electrical engi
neer, on the state of the Atlantic Gable.
He is Of opinion that the cable is material
ly injured about 800 miles from Valentia
He has put his large magnetic instru-
mient in operation, with view to transmit
messages to Newfoundland, but will not
know the result until advised by the next
steamer from America. Any attempt to
raise the cable in deep sounlings would,
IN his Judgment, cause its destruction. Fl
nally, he does not despair of r9aking the
liable work, if itdoes not get worse.

&c The def cts in the present jury
system are beginning to excite discussion
in England as well as here. As matters
now stand it is always in the power Of

proposed in England that the verdict Of
