sewing in the Public schools.

The following is an extract from DR..
Waterston's recent quarterly report to the
school committee upon the Everett gram
mer school, located on Northampton
street: Six classes are now taught the
use of the needle, which is consid-
cred a very great advantage, This i'm
portant branch of female education has,
hitherto, been too much neglected. 1t has
such direct bearing upon the practical du-
ties of life, that one might expect it to hold
pre-eminent place in any well-considered
scheme of female education. There may
be more snowy and pretentious depart
ments of instruction for girls, but there is
nothing which will have more powerful
influence upon their coming life as sisters,
daughters, wives and mothers. The COM
mittee would urge upon this board the in
PRODUCTION, as far as practicable, of the gen
eral, systematic, and thorough instruction
in sewing, that it may hold, at least, as
| important place in the education of girls
as music and drawing, which, though
greatly desirable, are certainly no more SO,
| to any young woman, than the proper and
skillful use Of the needle. boston Globe.

This organization held its regular month
" meeting Tuesday evening, March IL,

chair. Minutes Of the February meeting
were read and approved. The spring dis
tribution of seeds being the first business
in order, on motion, committee OF three
were appointed by the chair to conduct
said distribution. The following gentlemen
were named as the committee: III. 5.
Salisbury, j. B. Bowman, and E. Van
slyck-who Immediately entered upon their
duty.
After this business was finished, the
president exhibited some specimens OF tur-
nips, which he thought would be of value
to raise for feeding cattle, and on testing,
they were found to be very good also for
table use. The name was not given, as
they were volunteers. therefore he could
not tell the variety the appearance, how
ever, would indicate cross between the
Swedish turnip and the flat purple.
The time being principally employed in
distributing the seeds, the regular discus
sion did not take place, being laid over tc
| the next meeting.
Brother Kenyon being called on to give
his experience in turnip culture, stated ii
reply that he used one pound of seed tt
the acre, and fertilized with about 20(
pounds Of fine bone; sowed from the frs
to the fifteenth Of August, on grount
on which a crop of early potatoe
had been grown. He mixed the see'
with about a peck of timothy seed, AM
narrowed and rolled the ground after SOW
ing, and if the grass did not take satisfactc
rily, sowed it with clover the followin
spring, and the result of the seeding woul
be just as satisfactory as sowing aite
wheat.
