ing, by by Miss NJ. NJ. Gagcby.
Mr.. Ruthcrford-Writ should be
taught in all schools. have generally
made it regular exercise. but am not
teaching it now for want of convc-
niences.
Mr.. Getchell-I devote the last twenty
minutes before recess to this work, and
require all pupils to write.
Mr.. Downs-I have no special time for
writing; have had poor success in get
ting pupils to bring writing materials
l think 1t hard work to get up an interest
in this branch.
Mr.. Picrce-M0re attention should b"
given to this branch tits much neglect
ed in the schools Of the county, and when
taught is often badly taught, because
teachers do not write well. In our best
primary schools, seriting and reading are
commenced ut the same time: pupils
learning the script letters when they
learn the alphabet, and taking their first
lessons from the blackboard and slate
Spelling lessons are written from the
first. In this way the eye Is made to as
sist the memory, while, incidentally, the
pupils receive instruction in writing be-
fore they begin to use pen and Ink
Teachers should see that this slate and
blackboard work is neatly done. Pupils
who arc old enough to use pen should
be provided with printed copy books. the
whole school using the same series. Few
teachers have time to write copies. and
if they have, the printed ones arc better
The whole school should write at the
same time and the teacher should inspect
the work of each pupil, pointing out de-
fects and beauties. In all this work we
should aim to secure. first, legabilitv. then
beauty, then case and rapidity Of con-
structiOn.
Downs-I would teach, hrst, the use OF
words, then of sentences, then teach the
parts Of speech and let parsins and anal
ysis so together.
Rutherford-I have succeeded best in
teaching Grammar orally. but have found
Il necessary, in order to keep up an in
terest, to vary my method frequently. l
had q young class much interested. last
term, in constructing sentences tor snaly'
sis.
Henry Blank--I would have but few
fnrma in Grammar. Modern text books
make too many nice distinctions. which
serve but to confuse the pupil; would
simplify the work and give prominence
to parsing rather than analysis.
Miss Gagcby-The correction Of miee
syntax 10 too muc NEGLECTED. This should
be commenced in the primary room and
continue through Ill grades.

ABOUT CABINET ORGANS.

II may not be generally understood,
even ty those tolersbly well versed in
musical arts, that the vast difference in
quality Of tone developed in the different
makes Of Cabinet Organs, 10 owing in a
great measure, to the different modes of
bending the tongue Of the reed, q slight
variation in the style Of bend making quite
a percsptible difference in the quality Of
tone prod ced, as well rs in the speaking
capacity of the reed.
SO difficult and peculiar in this depart
ment Of work as 10 render IL necessary for
a person to have n natural gift or tact in
handling the delicate tools used, and even
then it sometimes requires years Of prsc-
tice TO enable one TO become proficient in
this art.
There are only two or three Of the lead
ing makers in this country who understand
the application Of what is called the new
and improved bend in the reed, and
among them the house of Simmons Il
Clough Organ Co, Of Detroit, Mich, have
made their instruments deservedly popu-
lar, and are taking the lead in way of the
more desirable Improvements, having Sc
cured the valuable "Scribner Patent, +"
an application Of tubes to reeds, which
materially increase the volume Of tone,
and at the same TINA destroy the wirey,
metallic sound of the reed. This firm also
make use Of the celebrated "Vox HUI
mana, or - Fan tremolo, and also the
famous Vox Celeste stop, the use of
which has created such an cutlery among
older manufacturers, who find IL impossi-
BILE, with their style Of bend and voicing
to moke good job of it.
1t is comparatively but a brief period
since this firm began to make instruments
upon large scale, and offer them to the
public at large through deslers,-the home
demand having taken their entire produc-
ton heretofore,-but we are informed that
the experience. of this house dates back Il
the year 1850, and IL is these years of care
full study and experiment which combine
10 make their Organs in many respects, su.
perior to those Of other makers.
The musical editor OF the Superior
wis. Times makes mention Of them as
follows: 1--WE are impressed with all we
read and know Of the Simmons & Clongh
Organ Contrary to the practice OF
many other establishments, this firm have
first made reputation for their noble in.
struments, and then advertised them. II

advertising for, as the demand for these
Organs now exceeds the supply. The
great demand for them, in fact, has com,
