purposes. This circumstance VIII De hlBhly
gratifying to those having children Of proper
age TO place in school. good school Is
great inducement to immigration, and the
City Fathers, no doubt acted wisely III taking
the necessary steps TO establish u school IN
the infancy of the town. Anything which
shall operate to keep children from the streets
may justly be regarded AS godsend. II al
lowed to run at large, they are apt to make
rapid progress in vice. and soon become pre-
cocious in sin. IL must be source of anxiety
to parents to realize that their children
never remain ut n stand-still they are either
learning what will be valuable TO them in after
wears, or, u curse. Every one understands
how much the appearance of even an ordi-
nary-lookng nag is improved by putting on "A
silver-plated harness ; what the silver-plated
harness is to the horse, education, combined
with good manners, is TO the child. We need
not enlarge upon this subject, since, by no
people, whethe. rich or poor, is education
more highly valued than by Americans. The
mother watches with delight her child, as
with face and hands freshly washed, and hair
newly combcd, with dinner basket on one
arm and school books under the other ho
wends his way TO the modest house of intel
lectual entertainment under the hill. While
her child is domicilcd in the schoOl-roon she
notices u saving III the wear and tear Of cloth
ing, and "a less accumulation of dirt than
when playing IL the streets. The relation Of
parent and teacher should be Of the most
friendly character, inasmuch as they have
common object in view, namely, the we'll
being OF the child. On the part of both
there must be cooperation in securing a regu-
lar attendance at school, and III the enforce
ment of strict and absolute obedience to
necessary school regulations. In the school
room the teachers wish must be- law. His
requests must be regarded in the light Of COM
mands, since upon the maintenance Of good
order the prosperity of tho school so largely
leDenlS. I5nlilreHs characters are LARGELY
influenced and moulded 10y their surround
ings. If they are allowed to grow up nj
home in the genial atmosphere of peace and
love, kindness and mutual forbearanCe, there
Is slight danger o! thar being troubled with
infrmtics of disposition. In the school
roOm, likewise, the teacher should guard
against hnrshncss In his department towards
his pupils, himself being the example and il
lustTation of the principles he desires to IN
Culcatc.
We understand that one or more clergymen
will spend the winter IN town. These gentle
men will furnish Sabbath school instruction
to the children of those who desire it, We
trust that they will meet with proper cncOur-
agemont, believing as we do. that the church
and school-house are the pillars Of society.
