The State in our Schools.

There is not 50 cheap an article which
is capable OF doing so much good in the
school-room as a slate. With u live teach
er the slate can be made substitute for
Il writing-book, arithmetic, geography.
spelling, grammar and composition book.
There is no exercise in school in which
the slate may not be brought into use.
There is no child in the State old enough
to attend school that is not old enough to
have n slate Put little slate and pencil
in the hands of child and they will
never become stupid. Ii becomes to them
a never ceasing source OF pleasure and
knowledge. 1t learns to make figures,
print letters, draw objects and thus pre-.
pare the way for good penmanship. 1t
will aid the teacher in keeping order by
dceising employment portion Of the
time on the slate. Every child in school
should be taught to write on the slate or
in a writing book every day in the week.
| hope to see every child in Oxford
County furnished with a slate before the
Summer schools commence, and trust
that experimenting School Committees
will urge upon teachers-aH teachers, the
habitual use of the slate. Village traders
will aid US much, if they will supply
themselves with some small cheap states
for children, so that every child in the
County will be supplied. Let US do one
thing at a time towards improving all our
schools, and let the slate be the first
Teachers can almost always succeed in
obtaining such articles, il parents are
properly appealed to for what is nccessa-
ry. n. T. True, Supervisor.

remarks made, too numerous TO mention
here. On account of 5 Robinson, Jr., hay
