it be repeated. If, after such notice has
been given, another offence occur, II Is
made the duty of the Principal to report
the case to the Superintendent, VINO
may suspend or expel ut his discretion.
Art. 10th provides that any pupil ab-
sentinp himself while under censure, or
being detained from school by parent
or guardian on account of said censure,
shall not be again admitted without o
written order from the Superintendent.
Rules directly bearing upon this
important subject, having been adopted
by the school authorities In all the
cities and incorporated towns, 1t IS
fair to conclude that those who have
the management of the educational m
terests of the country are awake to the
evils of irregularity in school atten-
dance. 1t is much to be regretted,
however, that many parents, perhaps
majority, do not manifest
Willingness to cooperate with
teachers and school ofhcers
in their efforts to correct this
greatest of lewis against which teach
ers have to contend. Could parents
generally be brought to understand the
importance of regular attendance AT
school on the part of their children, to
see clearly, as professional teachers see,
the evils which result from irregular
attendance, there would be no more
necessity for teachers to tax their lngc-
nuity and waste their time in Intellectual
efforts to obviatc these evils. The rem
edy would have been applied.
The following ten reasons against alb
sencc and tardineSs should be impressed
upon the minds of parents and pupils:
/. The order of the whole school Is
interrupted.
.. The teachers time is wasted IN re-
cording the absences, and in attending
to the excuses offered. The teachers
mind is taxed to obviate the evils OF IT.
regularity. ,
2. The absentee has lost the lessons
recited yesterday, and does not under
stand those portions of to-days lessons,
which depend on those of yesterday. .
A. The rest of the class are deprived OF
instruction, and forced to lose their time
while the teacher is instructing the de-
linquent.
5. The reputation of the teacher and
the school both suffer from the delin-
qucncy.
6. The pupil often becomes discour-
aged, and leaves school prematurely,
with false impression of the value of
education.
7. He loses his position in his class,
and it may become necessary to assign
him to position in a class of inferior
grade.
8. His example and influence onmem-
bcrs of the school are bad.
9. Discouraged in his studies, he be-
comes, first, insolent, next mischicvous,
and easily falls into vicious habits.
10. His habits and want of proper in
struction render him less capable of
transacting business, and q less worthy
member of the community. w.

we'll as upon our agricultural interests,
but it will be sufficient to say that
all these and every other element
of a peoples material prosperity are to
be affected, for good or i'll, by the acts
of the Legislature soon to assemble.
The entire destiny Of this young and
promising State is in the hands Of its
rulers to be made or marrcd. If they
shall be true TO their duty and to her,
her future is rich in promise of honor to
herself and Of prosperity to her citizens.
But il, instead of drawing their motives
from the precepts of wise and liberal
craftsmanship, they look only to the
past and become narrow in purpose and
partisan in act, the days to come will
bring little TO West Virginia for which
her people will be thankful or her
rulers thanked

Editor Of the Register:
The Importance of regular attendance
on the part Of pupils was never a moot
ed question. To what extent compul-
sory measures should be employed to
enforce attendance, is matter with re-
gard to which "doctors disagree" The
question, "Who shall decide when doc
tors disagree ~ may be pertinent in this
connection. That utter decentralization
in the schools would result if the mat
ter we're left to the inclinations and
caprice of pupils, need not be stated.
The question seems to resolve itself into
the following: Should School Boards
undertake to prescribe the conditions Of
school attendance, or should the entire
matter rest with the parents or guar
diansi 1t is not the intention Of the
writer, ut this time, to undertake the
discussion of this important subject, but
simply to state, for tho information of
your readers. the action Of school au-
fthorities in the leading cities of the
country with regard to tho matter of
school attendance.
To obviate the evils of irregularity of
attendance in the schools of our coun-
try, and to secure uniformity of rules
relating 10 school membership, Prof.
Wells, late Superintendent of the
Schools of Chicago, and one of the
leading educators of the country, pre-
pared set Of rules bearing upon these
subjects, which were submitted to
Boards of Education in the leading
cities, and generally adopted.
They are as follows:

VIC Next i.egislrturc.

The Legislature Of West Virginis will
convene in this city on Tuesday, 18th
inst, just ono week from to-day. While
the political complexion of that body
will DC such as to render it highly i'm
probable that any views of ours ~il,
find expression in its legislation, we
may may be permitted to hope that oul
law-makcrs will bring to the discharge
of their duties an honest patriotism il
some degree commensurate with theiI
wcighty obligations. There are many
questions Of moment and import to Oul
people, upon which this Legislature
will deliberate. Prominent among
these is the location of the State capital.
1t is not our purpose at this time. to in
dicatc a preference for any one of The
many points whose claims to be made th'
seat of Government are so sturdily ani
persistently advocated. Whatever 10
cality may be chosen, we shall be salts
fed, if in their selection our legislator
consult the permanent interest of th'
State at large, rather than promote the
advantage of this or that combination
of spectators. 1t will be better, fal
better, for the people of this State, boil
of the present and coming generations
if the Legislature should decline to re
move the seat of Government from it
present location at the business ccntr,
ofWest Virgins, until private interests
can be induced to hush thei,
clamors, until the fierce conflict can b,
reconciled, and dispassionate con
clusion reached which will give imme
diatc and general satisfaction to tn,
people of the State at large. Aside from
the Capital question, there arc othel
subjects to be considered Of scarcely
less Importance. The problem of dovel
oping and utilizing the vast resources
of West Virginia, must soon be PLACED
in process of solution. Mines Of wealth
now slumberins in the earth are to bc
opened up for the enrichment of oul
people. Manufacturing facilities of un.
surpassed power await but the infu,
once of benefOent legislation to be
applied, and to be made tributary to
private advantage and general pros
perity. Our vast forests, and our mex
haustible coal fields present another
source of possible revenue, when pru'
dent laws shall aid them in finding con.
sumers and market. We might also
speak at length of the beneficial infu-
ences which wise Legislation will have

THE CoTToN Crop OF TEXAS. =
Throughout the counties of Texas ly-
ing upon the coast the ravages of the
cotton-worm have been so destructive
that the planters believe that they
must abandon all attempts to cultivate
cotton, at least for some years. The
soil has been in many cases well titled,
is mellow and fertile, and most admir-
ably suited to corn, which will doubt
less be the next crop. The district
may then supply the market of New
Orleans, instead of receiving from that
city thousands of bushels, as it has done
in all previous years, except when pre-
vented by the blockade Many plant
ers, acquainted with the fertility of the
land, are sadly demonstrating a glut
In the corn market when the tillage is
well established, but others, more wise,
feel assured that means of transporta-
ton will open as soon as they have
such valuable material to transport,
and, even If that should fail, the corn
can be transmitted into meat and find
ready sale in markets both far and
near
