THE SINGER
The Worlds FayOrito.

!
TIE SALES of the SINGER last yea,
/ was the greatest ever attained fo!
any Sewing Machine in year, and was
nearly double the sales of it's highest
competitor, as may be seen by reference
to the account Of sales for 1873, from
sworn returns made to the owners of the
Sewing Machine Patcnt-trom which
statistics we select the five leading ma
chimes, viz:
The Singer soN 232,4il
Wheeler & Wilson, ll9.lyO
Domestic, 4O114
Grover a. Baker, 3G.176
Weed, 2l,7C9
1t will be observed that the difference
in favor of the SINGERS is the enormous
amount of ll3,2A over the highest com
petitor. This result has been obtained
after years of competition.
We submit to an interested pnblic if it
is claiming too much to say the Singer
is the most popular Sewing Machine in
the world.

Dear Gr0Wlcr:

Dear Growler:
Please give me your opinion about
certain persons who make it i part Of
their duty, when visiting friends, to
circulate false rumors, calculated only
to injurc the reputation of our young
men.
Yours, CONsTANCY.
Our opinion on this question can
not be formed freely, upon SO little
information as that contained in Con
stancys' note. We are not informed
how "our young men" conduct them
selves when "visiting friends" Not
in such a manner, We hope, as to in
cur the necessity Of "circulating re-
ports" Friends never circulate re-
ports calculated to iuure any one,
and our advice would be that you
never call again when reports are H.
able to injure you.

of worthy example Of Americas greatest

which he gets in the market for check

The Editor of the "so-called' has a

"HOnesty is the Best Policy"

1t is said Honesty is the best policy
but is it not questionable if adopted
on the ground of its being the best pol
icy?' Natural honesty, straightfor-
ward course, conscientiously pursued
for its own sake, is the most commen-
dable. 1t is unfortunate for trades
men that there ever was a reason for
such a phrase creeping into the business
vocabulary as tricks of trade TO de-
fine the quotation would be a difficult
undertaking, and we shall attempt no
such thing.
Is it not a fair assumption that if there
never had been such thing as tricks
of trade there had never been such a
term of Obloquy used. That the mer-
they are in large. majority too) high
minded men, honestly disposed, and
fair in their dealings, no one can or
will deny. But here in Wheeling, un-
fortunately, the many clothiers must
suffer the shortcomings of the few, who
ensnare people into their places of bu-
siness against their will. Not content
with stopping almost every passer-by
to 'puy sum tings,' they employ seedy
individuals to decOy people to their
places of business. Once there, they
sell you goods at any price, wrapping
you up, most likely, a much inferior
article. Is it not so, gentle reader?
Ask yourself the question, Is it not bet
ter for me to deal with such conseienti-
Gus men as III. FRANK, who,
with stock complete. .and always large,
Invariably moderate in CHARGE
If on due consideration you agree
with US, we hope to merit your patron
fge in future. Mix not the sweet and
sour, and call it all sour; spotless repu-
tations like ours cannot be bought; a
good name is beyond price, and is
worth more to its possesror than any
amount of riches without it. The man
who thinks cunning a match for hon
est dealing, is greatly mistaken. 1t is
fair dealing, not patrons, that leads the
true road to success. Rest assured pa
irons and readers, we will not depart
from it. We will ever uphold our un-
furled banner. ONE LOW PRICE,and
no deviation, to one and all, rich or
poor. IT. FRANK,

Meeting of the Southeastern Ohio
Teachers Association.

The Southeastern Ohio Teachers's
Association met at a late hour on the
morning of last Saturday in Bridge
port. The meeting was called to order
by Supt. Burns, and after prayer by
Rev Mr. McLeary, DIR j NJ Todd favor
ed the teachers with an Introductory
Address.
Mr. j M Reese, of Bellaire, discussed
the subject of "CIass Organization" at
considerable length.
After music by Mr. Schofield and
choir, recess to half-past l o'clock.
At /! o'clock P. NJ, Prof Woods, of
Morristown, took the Chair. A large
audience filled the church room. At
ter the appointment of the usual COM
mittees, Prof Merz, of Wheeling, was
introduced, and favored the meeting
with successful course CT chemical
experiments.
After thirty minutes wasted in an
unnecessary quibbling over the pro-
gramme, Prof Bundy, of Wheeling,
was allowed ten minutes time to opep
the discussion of the subject OF Compul-
sorry Education. He spoke very high
ly in favor of the subject.
Prof Morton followed i'm speech of
five minutes in opposition to tine "Im-
moral tendencies of the Public icSchools,'
on account of the intellectual character
of the teaching.
Supt Myers followed in favor of the
public school and compulsory educa-
ton.
Supt Andrews called for the sense of
the meeting on the following resolu.
ton:
That we heartily approve of the law
the establishment of Chill
dren's Homes and that we respectful
ly call the attention of every County
Commissioner in Eastern Ohio to the
Importance of putting this law into ex-
ecution.
Which was accepted in the affirma.
tive.
Prof Boyd, of Wheeling, thought
the. subject not yet exhausted, and
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1874-11-12

spoke in opposition 10 compulsion. His
remarks reused up the spirit of d sous
sion. He spoke in opposition to send
ing young pupils, or children to school,
and subjecting them to the eXactions
of the school curriculum.
Supt Andrews responded in support
of the question.
The time was extended to ten min
utes, and DIR Updegraff called on, who
eloquently discussed the subject in fa-
vOr of the Public School, criticising
Profs Morton and Boyd.
Prof Bundy denied that the Public
Schools neglected the moral culture of
the pupil.
Mr. Rees, supported Bundy, and
in the course of his remarks asked,
What right has parent or guardian
TO deprive a child of its elementary
education between the ages of seven
and fourteen years."
Comp i>:On was intended more for
the parent than for the child.
Prof Morton defended his argument,
stating that the use of the Bible in the
public schools of Ohio was forbidden
by action of the Supreme Court.
Prof Boyd replied to DR. Updegraff
in defense of his opinion.
DIR Updegraff followed, and in his re-
marks corrected Prof Morton, denying
that the laws of Ohio excluded the BIZ
bic from the public schools. It's use
or disuse reposed in the will of the re-
spective Boards of School Directors.
On motion of Supt Myers, the Insti-
tute took up miscellaneous business.
The committee on nominations re-
ported its selection of officers for the en-
suing year, as follows:
Presidsnt: Sup't Andrews, of Steu-
benville.
V. Pres't: Sup't Melville, of Bellaire.
Sec'y: Sup't Yarnell, of GAINESVILLE.
Treas: Sup't Taylor, of Bridgeport.
Ex. Com: Prin. Rowe, of Steubep-
vile; Sup't Myers, of Cadiz; Sup't
of Martinsville.
The committee ON Resolutions ten
dered the following:
Resolved, That we tender our thanks
to the citizens of Bridgeport, for their
hospitality; to the Presbyterian Church
for The use of their house; and to Mr..
Schofield for his service in conducting
the music.
The meeting then adjourned to meet
at the time and place determined by
the Executive Com mittee.
Com. t. w. Harvey was not allowed
to meet the Institute on account of be-
ing unable to close his labors in an In
stitute elsewhere, in time to reach
Bridgeport.
