Little Women.

This is from DR.. Dio Lewis. The reason
for this preference for little women. among
men, is simply this:
Formerly women were slaves to the pas
sons of men. In modern times they have,
among our better classes. risen little above
that. and have become the pets and toys OF
men. Now, pet or a toy. say Il black and

The GREAT SEWING MACHINE.-When
one visits the agency of the Singer Sewing
Machine at Nos. : and Camp street, he
is always struck with the fact that, in
spite of the great number of other sewing
machines in the market, and the competition
there must be in the business. the demand
for that old and always reliable machine
still keeps Oh increasing. and, like the ball
of SNOW, keeps growing larger and larger
as it progresses. just think of it. there
were IL 1913 of them sold last year, and
Judging from the present demand the mum
Der will be larger this year. The reason is
that the improved Singer machine al'-
proaches so near perfection That nothing is
left to be desired by either the head Of a
family. or of manufactory. 1t does its
work rapidly, well and durahly. Of course
people want it-must have If.

Our School system.

We folks back in the northwestern
part of the County do not indorse the
new-fashiOned school system. We
standup for theoidfogysystem, thinking
it the best. 1t is claimed that this is a
progressivea age, and no doubt it is for
the system has attained considerable
age, and does it look reasonable that
much improvement could be made
We must remember that it was found
ed by our wise fore-fathers and to at
tempt a change would bring reproach
upon them. We believe in conducting
our schools with the least possible ex-
pense. We don't have any foolish
innovations such as globes, charts,
cubical blocks, &c. We consider them
nuisance. We believe in economy
All the furniture we have is a few old
desks and benches, an old stove thrown
away and gathered up again. Such is
the economy of our directors who don't
believe much in SO silly thing as edu-
cation. They don't believe in giving
teachers large wages dreadful to think
of thirty or fortydollars per month";
Economy above all things. FOGY.

Should the number of illegal branch
es be increased /?
Quite difference of opinion about
the policy ofincreasing the number of

teachers should, by diligent study and
general reading, raise the standard of
qualification. A majority however vo-
ted for an increase.
Should examinations be oral, writ
ten, or mixed
Prevailing sentiment in favor of
i'mixedn =
In discussing the method o, grading
papers, the better opinion seemou to be
that the grade should be made UP from
the paper as whole, having regard to
the nature of the questions answered or
missed, and that it should not depend
absolutely on the number of verbally
correct answers.
The Convention gave its vote against
renewing certificates without examina-
tion, against antedating, against bill
now nearly through the Legislature,
reducing the fee to be paid by lady ap-
plicants for certificates, on the ground
that these fees are the chief support of
County Institutes.
The School laws of Ohio are in::pro-
cess of codification and some changes
are proposed in minor matters.
This Convention proved that there is
a great diversity in the various count.
les in the method of conducting Teach.
er's examinations, anda comparison of
these methods ought to result in good.
The great aim of our school system
is to place an active, competent teacher
in every school room. Thus far it has
not done it. Examiners must grant
certificates to poorly qualified persons,
or many of our schools be without tea
chers. Still, it is true that in many in
stances to be without would be better
than to have the place only nominally
filled. Let us hope for an educational
revival /; better, let us oork for it.

of the Republic would imply thespeedy
renewal of the monarchy in France,

Germany, the Orleanists being sworn
enemies of Germany.
There is an evident disposition on
the part of Prussia to yield good deal
of her demands except in the matter of
territory, and even this may undergo
some modification. 1t is probable that
the Emperor will abandon the idea of
entering Paris, and that the troops will
quit Paris with all possible prompti-
tude, and evacuate France as ssoon as
practicable after sufficient guarantee has
been given for the payment ofan in
