The demand was brisk throughout the
day, and although the movement was
checked by light supplies and the high pre-
kilograms from Liverpool and an improve
ment in sterling exchange, the sales
summed up the liberal amount noted above
at the advance stated. The denand was
principally ON ordinary, good middling and
low middling. In many cases factors asked
1879 q l3c for strict good ordinary, and l4o
for strict low middling.
The Exchange reports "good demand,
prices very firm" It will be observed that
its quotations are raised 1sc for good Ordi-
nary and Nc for ordinary.

THE TEACHERS LIBRARY.

Under this head, VIC desire to call the
attention of teachers to the Importance OF
reading books that treat of. the school
teachers work. A. S. Barnes & Co, pub.
lish the Teachers Library which contains
many interesting and useful Volumes
We can not understand how teachers are
able to Go their duty in the school room
without reading and preparing themselves
for their profession.
UNIVERSAL EDUCATION is the title
of one of the volumes of the Library. The
author, Ira Mathew, A. NJ, approaches the
subject with the clear, keen perception of
one who has observed the necessity and
realized the feasibility of general educa-
ton. Every teacher ought to read the
work. Every school officer and every
friend.of common schools will rise up
from reading such a book with a consci-
Gus feeling of being greatly benefited.
The EDUCATOR by Mrs. Phelps is a
valuable work for any teacher. Both
those books can be rsafely recommended to
those who may desire to read standard
works on school teaching. Many other
volumes of this Library will receive at
tention through the columns of the HER
L tribune.

HOW ABOUT

Whether we have schools or not, de-
ponds upon our W efforts. The county
fund. or ''free money" as it is called,
will not amount TO anything more than a
few cents to the scholar. This money is
not sufficient to maintain free schools
The District Com mi~ssioners can, BIZ a lit
tie effort. 60 much TO stir up the people
to the importance of opening as many
schools as possible this fall. There will
be some free money and it can used, as
far as it will go, to assist in d~efraying the
expense of the school.
There is a good deal depending upon
the District Commissioners. They have
under their control the school house, and.
in fact, all the school interest in their Dis
tricts. If they will only bear in mind
how much can be done Sya little effort,
to better the condition of Common Schools
in Washington County, they will surely
be willing to give the subject a little
more attention during next year.

Cedar Hill.

The school at Cedar Hill in the It'll
Civil District closed on the goth of last
month. From all that we can gather,
the exercises passed off very well. The
school has given general satisfaction. Mr.
Cartright, the Principal has done much
hard work for the neigh5orhood and de-
serves tie hearty support of the district.
The people are trying to sustain the
school. Though the children in that Sec
ton have been somewhat neglected, new
ertheless they are found to be able to ac-
quit themselves honorably whenever they
have an opportunity.
The teacher in a letter says:
Our Exhibition came off ON the goth

THE TEAc HER.-The mind of the
child may be compared to the precious
gem which is often surrounded by rough
stones and ores of tue base metals. The
teacher is the lapidary who after rubbing

noticed the efficiency, promptness and
watchfulness with which Sheriff S. E.

machinery. He is Shaking one of the best
officers the country ever had, and the peo-
pie know it. His corps of efficient depu-

were required. Capt. Hacker, the, Prose-
cutting Attorney is rapidly disposing of
the State docket and manfully sustaining
the public rights and safety. The Senior

The Kindergarten" is the title of a
little book intended to help teachers to
direct Ki~ndergartcns on a large SCALE
The author proposes that in the future all
our schools begin with Kindergartening.
There are several peculiar features in the
work. 1. 1t is adapted to the practical
training of pupils in Normal Schools. 2.
1t contains selections in two languages,
the English and German. 3. The %collec-
ton of peices embraces: besides choice
selections of poetry found in other Ger
man or English books of the same kind,
many new and valuable ones.
The work is published in excellent
style by e. Steiger, New York. We
recommend it to our teachers who, we
hope, will send for a copy of the work
and examine it carefully, for it contains
many timely hints for the teachers of
primary schools.

The Best Investments.

In his address in Texas. Horace Gree
ley seems to have given a summary of his
experience, CLEANED from all the years of
his public and editorial life. He says
The best investment a farmer can make
for his children is that which surrounds
their youth with the rational delights of a
heauteous. attractive home. The dwell
ing may be small and rude. yet a few
flowers will embellish, as choice fruit
trees will enrich and gladden. it; while
grass and shade are within the reach of
the humblest. Hardly any labor done on
a farm is so profitable as that which makes
the wife and children fond and proud of
their home.
A good, practical education, including
a good trade, is a better outfit for a youth
than a grand estate with the drawback of
an empty mind. Many parents have
shaved and pinched to leave their children
rich, when half the sum thus lavisaed
would have profted them far more had it
been devoted to the cultivation of their
minds, the enlargement of their capacities
to thiak, observe, and work. The one
structure that no neighborhood can afford
to do without is the school-house.
A small library of well-selected books
in the house has saved many a youth from
wandering into the baleful ways of the
prodigal son. Where paternal strickness
and severity would have bred nothing
but dislike and a fixed resolve to abscond
at the first opportunity, good books and
pleasant surroundings have weaned many
a youth from his first wild impulse to go
to sea or cross the continent, and made
him a docile, c%ontended. obedient, happy
lingerer by the parental freside. In
family. however rich or poor, no other
good is so cheaper so precious as thought
full, watchful love.
