An American traveller, who passed
over the Toronto, Gray and Bruce Rail.
way, IN Canada, writes rs fellows con.
corning it and other roads of the same
gauge:
| The amount of goods which IL La.
brought is truly surprising. The number
OF passengers travelling both ways is also
very large. Tho fact is, the railway is a
great success. Having gone to Toronto
and back on the line the present week, we
were agreeably surprised at the comfort
OF the journey. We have heard good
deal OF the "narrow-gausgc" and the
"wheelbarrow railway" but let anybody
get into the cars without being told any
thing about narrow-guages, and we will
venture to say that he would not observe
the difference between it and any other
railway. The cars are seated in the same
way as the wide guage, each seat accom-
inodating two comfortable. The track,
too, is very smooth
In addition TO the above, the following
railways are progress with a guage Of
three feet six inches: Queensland, Aust
ralia, government railway, 222 miles rail-
way from Congeveran to Arconum, Inda,
10 miles; Toronto and Nipissing Railway,
canada, los miles government railway
OF Norway, lOl miles. Locomotives used:
Freight engine and tender, 20 tons weight;
eight wheels, six of which are coupled
passenger engines and tenders, 10 tons
weight in running order six wheels, four
of which are coupled, and tark engines,
about IL tons weight, six wheels, four OF
which are coupled. Rolling stack: Out
side width off vary from six feet six
inches 10 eight feet The speed varies
from IL to 20 miles per hour, including
.toppages. Such railways in India and
Norway cost from $4,000 TO $l4,O 900 per
mile, including engines, cars and ali
equipments necessary. Cost 81 work |
about the same per ton Ms on ordinary |

Free Schools in Knox County.

To The Board of Education
GENTLEMEN-Th public interests con-
fided to your wisdom and fostering care by
the people of Knox county, are second to
no other in importance; and it is hoped
that you will not receive unkindly q
friendly criticism on your Rules and
Regulations for the Free Schools" in this
county, by one subjected to their operation
as teacher. No teaching is more instruc-
tive or more reliable than that of expo
rience Your "Rules " do not stand this
test,as will appear from the following an
alysiS:
Rule is in these words: "Teachers are
required to so class their scholars that they
can devote at least half an hour to each
recitation"
In the writer's school of some fifty pu-
pills, there are twelve in or near the alpha
bet, who must be taught individually.
Being over fourth of the school, they are
entitled to more than fourth part of the
teachers time and instruction. Allow
them, however, an hour and half each
day, which is only seven and half min
ules to each in whole days teaching.
Among the twenty-eight other scholars
there are three classes in spelling and three
in reading. If each of these occupies
thirty minutes in the forenoon and thirty
in the afternoon, it is obvious that reading
and spelling will consume six hours each
day. In addition to theabove, there are two
classes in geography, two in grammar and
two in arithmetic-onec class new beginners
and one more advanced in each study.
These six classes should recite once in
the forenoon and once in the afternoon,
making twelve Rotations. At 80 minutes
each. agreeably to rule 8, six hours of the
teachers time will be consumed. Those
learning to write will need at least thirty
minutes attention during the day.
A free school run on the above schedule,
reouires the teacher to labor fourteen hours
q dav in this district. Nor. does rule let
him off with that amount of work for it
Preachers shall keep daily record of
their scholars attendance, department
and scholarship, and make report at the
end of each month to the Commissioner,
in five days.nJ-l ll
No one can well make daily record of
how pupil studies and deports himself,
recites: and at what hour or minute he en-
tiers the school at its morning and evening
session, that will be at once truthful, and
lust to the scholar, without giving five
minutes to the consideration Of the facts
on which his judgment rests, and to the
recording of the same. At this estimate,
forty pupils so recorded, will consume 200
minutes, or three hours and twenty min
utes.
Byasking too much, the Board of Edu-
cation will probably drive all conscien-
fious. competent men out of this import
tant public service, and ultimately break
down our free schools. Matters that you

ELECTION NEWS.

The latest election returns received up to
the hour of going to press, are highly sat
isfactory in many respects. Though New
York City still follows her idols and clings
to Tammany, yet the State is triumphant
ly Republican, and even in the city sever
al of the Tammany candidates are defeat
ed. Returns from New Jersey are meagre,
but it is thought Parker, Democrat, is
elected Governor. In Maryland the Dem
ocrats carry the State, except two counties;
Baltimore gives Democratic majority,
but the figures show a slight Republican
gain. No intelligence has been received
from Illinois, except from Chicago, where,
in the municipal election, Medill, Repub-
lican, was elected mayor. . E5it E
