OUR SCHOOLS.

The School at Martins Greek in the
Seventh Civil District is making excellent
progress. Rev. Jas. r. Scott, the Princi-
pal, is fully alive to the work. The
school was organized last summer. Three
teachers are now employed. Mr.. w. W.
Daley, the first assistant is a promising
young man and makes a fine teacher
Miss Harriet Scott, an amiable young Ia
dy teaches some of the primary classes,
with great a~cceptability.
The school is large. The people are
greatly interested on the subject of cdu-
cation Great progress has already been
made in this district, and in consequence
of the interest manifested in the establish
ment of a permanent, school the district
Will draw Three Hundred Dollars from

everything connected with the school with
dignifed importance.
3. For young scholars, the class exer-
cises should not be kept up longer than
interest is maintained.
4. Idleness should be sedulously avoid
cd. y programme of recitations and
studies, furnishing uninterrupted employ
ment during each session, is indispensable
to a well-regulated school.
8. Great care should be given to as
signing lessons if too long, they discour-
age the learner, if too short, they encour-
age idleness.
G. Emulation is a valuable aid if judi
ciously employed, and may be used in a
great variety of ways.
Z. Patient. persistent effort will accom-
plish your object, remembering always
that education is a process of growth, and
time an essential element in it.
s. Cheerfulncss and confidence are
lights that blaze, giving a glow of ANNA
ton and activity, while a freful spirit be-
gets uneasIness and impotence in others.

FLAG POND,

The closing exercises of the school at
this place, on last Thursday were very
crcditable. Svme of tho classes passed
first rate examinations. Everything pass,
ed off quietly and pleasantly.
Mr.. Jas. II. Sans, the principal, is a
worthy young man. an inccssant worker
and a capital teacher. Under the circum-
stances, the school has done remarkably
well. Mr.. Sans and his assistant, Mr..
Carter, have done a noble work for the
people of the Flag Pond District.
No District in the county gives such
un~mistakable evidence of real interest i IN
school matters as the Flag Pond. There
are 500 children of school-age in the dis
trict, and over one-half that number have
been attending school. A good school
house, a neat frame building, was erected
last year. The school Just closed was at
tended by 250 pupils during the year.
The people of the district are strongly
i'll favor of common schools, and are anx-
ious to have an additional school tax.
They talk about their school. Everybody
feels an interest in it. Notwithstanding
the bitter cold weather. large numbers
attended the Exhibition and seemed to
the exercises finely.
The school will draw $500 from the
Peabody Fund. Tie people have right
we'll deserved it, too.
