EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
SYSTEM NJ.

In carrying on the business ofteach-
ing a school, every teacher will fail
who undertakes to work without any
preconceived programme of exercises.
The pupils are required to learn their
lessons and reeite them to the teacher.
They have a right to know when
they will be called upon to atterd the
recitation. Every school-room should
have in it good clock. A teacher S
watch will not do. Posted up in the
most conspicuous place, should be
carefully prepared programme of
daily exercises. This programme
should be so arranged as to allow am
pie time for every pupil to have an
opportunity to carefully review his
lesson before coming to class. The
time of commencing a recitation
should be given, and also the time of
closing. Then be sure to run by the
programme, You will lose a great
deal Of time by not having a system

We furnish a programme of exer-
cises which has been prepared by a
successful teacher-one who is now
Superintendent of the Cincinnati
Common Schools. We have only
two objections to it; it makes the
teacher begin too early and keeps him
in school too late. Otherwise we
cheerfully recommend it:

THE STATE CONVENTION.

Though considerable time will elapse
before the assem- rolling of the State Con-
vention, we already hear of numerous can
didates for delegates. We have no wish to
dictate to any one in this matter, but ven-
ture to suggest that it is very desirable
that the appOintees of the present admins
tration should decline nominations to the
convention. We know that this course
will commend itself to those who have a
nice sense of propriety. We are sure also,
that it will crafty the feelings of all true
friends of the present administration, should
its honored head become a candidate for
denomination.
1t would not be pleasant to any of us to
see General Grant receive his nomination
at the hands of Federal office-holders.
We are also very certain that it would
not be gratifying to him.

TRIM THE GRAPE VINES.

Those who have put off trimming their
vines for this year, should loose no time
in doing it. The sap will soon start and
vines will bleed with the warm days of
March. Cut out abundantly of the old
wood, and also all the weakly, poorly
ripened new wood, leaving only strong,
healthy canes. Every bud on these will
bring from one to three punches of grapes.
A little careful observation will enable one,
therefore, to decide how much wood should
be left. 1t will depend upon the age and
thriftiness of the vine. Vines less than
three years old should not be cultivated to
bear more than two or three punches. All
vines set last year should be cut back to a
single bud or two. With these hints, any
body who can handle knife can trim a
vine pretty well.

body to partially amend its error. Let the
law now before the House be extended in
its provisions to as many counties as pos
sible. 1t is weak, it is true, but better
than nothing. We have learned to say
" small fayors thankfully received" at the
