great feature OF the evening. causing much

anything before were signally lucky. which

suresto catch something every time. Tickets

Men Of intelligence in making selection of

aeou schools. aad are willing to settle in in
ferior localities. rather than deprive their
children Of the CT Anee of obtaining good
education. BY going far from good schools.
To induce this class Of psoplet0 epnfe and
settle among US, we must not only be able to
show them that our country Is vel Wxtered,
,imbere,l and fertile. but we must also prove
10 them that their cIiiltlreI's welfare will not
be neglected, that our schools are OF q high
grade, and our teachers well qualified for
their position. When we can do this. we
need have no tear that this desirable class of
settlers will pass by.
Parents and teachers should alike labor to
advance the character of our schools; par nts,
II from no other cause, from: due regard TO
the welfare 81 their children, and teachers,

cause Of popular education impeilipg them
to unremitting exertion in its behalf.
When parents and teachers realize That they
must soork together, with patience and perst'-
yerance, in educational matters, and tina
either i almost powerless without the aid Of
the other, then. and NOT till then, will their
