For The Cecil Whig.
Notice TO Patrons OF the PEb...c Schools.

The attention of patrons of the public
school is called to Il small report card
which will be sent to the parent of all
children in the A division on Friday, Oct
8, and every two weeks thereafter. The
results thereon will be taken from care
fully kept class register and may be relied
on as correct. The mark indicating that
the pupil has done all that could reasonably
be expected of him, will be 100-and the
cause of all considerable defalcation there
from should be carefully Investigated by
the parent. Parents are also requested to
see that their children do a considerable
amount of studying at home. Children
who are somewhat advanced cannot per-
form more than two-thirds of what they
should perform in the short daily sessions.
Not less that two hours daily, of the
pupils time should be set aside for, and
faithfully devoted to study, and the parent
is the only one that can properly and
efficiently enforce this regulation. Parents
who shrink from, or neglect this duty,
cannot expect to enjoy the exquisite pleas
ure of having we'll educated and intelligent
children. GA wise son maketh a glad
father, but foolish son is the heaviness
of his mother" What l mean does not
imply, as some have been mistaken enough
to suggest, that the parent should perform
any pant of the teachers duty, but merely
that the teacher should not be expected to
perform a portion of the parent duty in
addition to his own.
Pupils are provided with ample daily
lessons, although in order to lay good
foundation for future work. many of them
have been required to review what they
had already been over. Our motto is
thoroughness first; then progress. A linn
tied number of lessons Will hereafter be
given to be studied exclusively at home.
When parents find it necessary. which l
hope will be seldom, to detain their child
rem after the opening of either session, or
to recall them before its close, they will
please send a aeritten notice to that effect
Oral communications concerning this mat
ter sent by pupils will not hereafter be
regarded. PRINCIPAL.
GoDEY's LADY's Book for October has
been received, chaSte and beautiful as ever;
the veteran publisher announced his inten-
ton to add the iches of the Book an entirely
new feature. Premium chromoS have be-
come fashionable as presents to their sub
scribers, among publishers. Cooley pro-
poses to improve on this plan by illustrat-
ing the Book from time to time with first
class chromos. The first of the series will
appear in December No, the second in
January. In addition to the magazine
with all its mine of wealth in literature,
ant and clique, every subscriber receives a
chromo-entitled True to Nature " from
an original oil painting. We doubt not
that " True to Nature - will be considera-
bly, above the average premium chromos,
for the name of L. A. Cooley is guaran-
tee for work being well done. Price of the
magazine So year with the chrome.
IT IS A GREAT MISTAKE to go hunting
round from store to store in search of some
kind of article for the least money. The
lowest priced goods are the dearest in the
end. 1t is. wisest, both for comfort and
economy, to 60 at once to 4 responsible
store and get reliable goods. 1t will pay
all, about to purchase Fall Clothing, to call
and inspect the Splendid Goods and Low
Prices of Bennett & Co., Tower Hall, 51S
Market street, halfway between Fifth and
Sixth streets, Philadelphia.
