I have also found the children Of such

more easily taught and less difficult to

business education in half the time requr-
ed by those who are denied the use of
newspapers.
From estimates based upon careful
observation am satisfied that every
dollar judiciously invested in newspapers
will save ten dollars in time and tuition.
What il will pay in other matters leave
for those interested to say; but urge
upon teachers and all Others interested in
common schools to spend at least their
leisure hours in trying TO induce people
to subscribe for newspapers. They are
cheap, and so arranged that ever one who
can read at all can find paper adapted
to his capacity and wants, no matter what
