Texas yet have never experienced winter
in either of those States which possessed all
the advantages, and so few of the disadvan-

Our neirhbors on the 'front.'

Our neighbors on the frontier
of the populated portion of the state
sometimes indulge in depreciating
the soil and climate of the Lake Su-
perior valley. Not long ago an ed
itor who had spent about six and a
half hours in this vicinity, was so
expert as to be able to say he had
seen the red clay potatoe hills at
Superior and decided--nothing
could grow from such soil.
In view of the well-known facts,
that nowhere so strong and durable
soils are found, as We have in this
vicinity that nowhere are larger
yields, better results and reader
markets awarded to labor, it is un-
neighborIy to thus treat the out
side" settlements.
Such ungenerouS, ill-timed asser-
tons, however are the result of hab
it, rather than premeditated depre-
citation; habit peculiar to half-pop-
ulated districts, in rivalry of more
pioneer advances.
This habit has shown its power
not merely in force of words, but in
legislation, both adverse and neg
Lectful. And now the reward for it
Is most bitter; lied to their pamper-
ed corporations, defying law and
claiming immunities which even
monarchs dare not assert.
The city papers of the State have
as a rule ceased TO belittle our TWEEN
ty years persistent battling to de-
velop these Lake Superior counties /;
and from them, with very few ex-
ceptions, come efficient advocacy of
the policy of enlarging the settle
ment of the State to its exterior
bounds,. and to this end, see no so
sure mode to secure a check upon
graspiug monopoly as to foster and
encourage this long neglected north
west district of the State, encourage
its settlement and push through it
the long delayed railroads; the sure
result of which will be to modify
rates of transportation, and bring in
new era of enlarged views for
country newspaper editors.

We should have before our minds proper
conception of the work in which we are en-
gagged, and feel our responsibilities, or we
cannot be prepared to discharge our duties
If children in their homes are neglected, and
come into school with wrong ideas, or per-
haps no ideas at all, respecting self-control,
and have only selfish desires, and propensi-
ties, and seek only the qualification of those
passions, we know the teacher has a hard
task before him, but because it is hard, is no
reason why it must not be performed. These
very children are candidates for citizenship
in our country, and will soon come to take
their places as such, they must be nodded,
modelled and reconstructed by the teacher,
and prepared for ~ lS...Ss as 81 IS they
can be, and in their cases the moral and con-
trolling part of their education is much the
most important, far more so than acquiring
knowledge of arithmetic, geography, &c.
But this training in the art of government
is in no way hindrance rather, a great help
by the use of force, never brings the mind
into proper state for Improvement, but in.
most cases has the opposite effect, so that
after the exertion of force in governing, some
special effort must be made to influence over
the mind or evil results rather than good.
A constant effort should be made by every
teacher to influence every scholar to feel,
that success and happiness is the result of
right doing and that trouble and suffering
always follow doing wrong. Right and
wrong doing refer mainly to our conduct
toward each other, or to governing ourselves
in our intercourse with our fellows, and as
education is designed especially to fit US for
our social relations, this part should not be
neglected.
