is 800. Some place the number at
much larger figure. The Bible, or a

dErTINu THE BEST OF HIS PARISH
loNERs.--Old DR.. Strong, of Hartford,
was not often outwitted. On one oc-
ession he had invited young minister
70 preach for him, who proved rather
. dull speaker, and whose sermon was
unusually long. Tho people became
wearied, and rs Dr.. Strong lived near
the bridge, about the time for the COM
mencement Of the afternoon service, he
saw his people focking across the
river to the other church.. He readily
understood that they feared that they
should hear tho same young man in
the afternoon. Gathering up his wits,
which generally came st his bidding,
he said to the young minister, aMy
brother across the river is very feeble,
and ], know he will take it kindly to
have you preach to his people, and if
yon: viii ae go I.will give you note to
sint ard HtA bs ss much obliged to
yoe - ! would to have you preach
for ne, and 1 want you to preach the
sAnep tu10r you preached to my peo-
pie thk6 morning The young minis
ter supfosing this to be . commenda-
ton Of his sermon, started off in good
spirits, delivered his note, and was in
vited to preach most cordially. He
saw before him one half Of DR.. Strong's
people, and they had to listen one hour
and half to the same humdrum ser
mon that they heard in the morning.
They understood the joke, however,
and said they would never undertake
to run away from DR.. Strong again.

Poor Wisconsin


Some OF the railroad ring papers are try
ing just now to see how badly they can scare
the "anti-monops" with bugaboo stories
about the depreciation of property in Wis
consin on account Of the Potter railroad law.
The last story OF the sort is that the owner
of piece of real estate appraised at half
million (they don't give his name or lOca-
tion) applied to the Chicago agent OF an
European house for q loan Of 100000
secured by mortgage on this property and
was refused, the agent telling him that
though the security was ample and his house
was then looking out for long term mort
gage investments, yet, owing to the recent
legislation, they could not make loan on
lands in Wisconsin at any rate or on any
security whatever. For the present, they
must decline to loan money in Wisconsin on
any security that could not be moved out Of
the state whenever necessary"
And this state Of things we are told is the
result of the law, which has ruined the rail-
roads, which has made them threaten to

Congratulatory.

To the Propreito, of the Farmer:
l wish to congratulate you and thank you
for employing SO able and well known q
farmer as G. HORACE HUBBARD, ESQ, as the
agricultural editor Of your paper. He is
man who is held in high esteem by those who
know him, for his manly qualities as well as
his deep attachment TO the science and prac.
tice Of agriculture. ...
II is not enough that we have competent
editor. We need one who is not only an able
writer upon agricultural topics, but one who
is practical farmer, one who knows by ex.
perience and intelligent practice what he is
talking about. Such a man | think we
have in the new agricultural editor Of the
FARMER
But can he alone make it what we all
wish to see it, the best agricultural paper in
New England BY no means. But he can,
brother farmers, make it n paper that we
shall all be proud Of, one that shall be an
honor to the intelligence Of our Green Noun
tain state. How can it be done Simply by
our telling each other through him, Of the
results Of our farming. Have we been sue
cessful tell how we did it. Have we
failed in some OF our practices; let US tell
why we have failed that others may, in the
light of our experience, avoid our errors
DO not let us wait to see what he can dc
without US. Let him feel that he has the
intelligent farmers Of the state as his assist.
ants and we shall be proud Of the result.
A FARMER
We accept the congratulations of "a
Farmer and tender him our thanks for hi
suggestions and announcements. Many
others have expressed their approval in ,
similar way.

Our teachers must be professionally odu-
Gated. We have given them position of
great dignity; have entrusted them with
work of vast Importance, and we require of
them duties of fearful import. ITO teach"
says DIR. Charming, whether by word or
action is tho greatest function on earth" and
can II be that they need no special prepara-
ton for their work.
We require our physician, our lawyer, and
our Clergyman, that he should be profession
ally educated. It is not enough that he has
been drilled in academic halls; not enough
that ne has been literally educated. We
don't cntrust TO him the life Of our child, I'M
less he has studied medicine; nor our inn
portant suits In chancery, unless he has stud
led law; nor do we regard him qualified TO
preach the gospel unless nc has studied the
ology.
Yea, more; we require professional
training for the common mechanic, the farm
or, the sailor. and indeed for every art,
trade, and occupation. We do not allow II
man to build house, to cultivate farm,
to navigate ship. to shoe horse, TO repair
watch, nor even to shave the hair from tn c
chin. who has not served an apprenticeship
In order to learn the special art we expect
him to practice.
Now. Z" teaching is an art and tho teacher
an artists" an art of the greatest difficulty
and highest importance. And shall we con-
tinue to intrust the business of educating
our children to those who have had no OPP
portunity for normal Instruction. to the
mere novice. simply because he knows lit
tie Of arithmetic, geography. and GRAMMAR
Nothing can be more inconsistent aud UNI
wise than to assign work so important to
those who have no skill and who have been
untaught in the pr olcssion.
We have our schools of law, of medicine
aud Of divinity. We regard them rs ne
cessity. We require an apprenticeship in
every trade, and in every kind OF business.
This. too. is highly appropriate and necessa-
ry to the end in view. We expect none to
undertake the duties Of these professions, OIL
trades who have not had this special prepa'
ration. But, until within u few years, nc
provision was made for the professiona
training Of teachers; nor was it regarded o.
any Importance. The impression prevailed
that anybody could keep school; and henc,
anybody who would serve an ignorant con
stituency In this paentdl Office for u ven
small compensation was employed. but
think brighter day has dawncd Nor
nal schools have, at length, been estab
lished in nearly every state in the Union
and multitude of teachers have been gath
cred into them. SIN, only small part OF Ia,
teachers OF our public schools have yet beef
reached. And this Is not the worst featur,
of the case. The majority do not feel ii
importance. They can secure their certlfi
Gates, fulfill their engagements, and receiv,
their wages; and hence they are satisfied.
The great responsibility in this matter. nj
ter all, rests upon parents. They should de
mand of their teachers higher qualifications

should be educated somewhere and in SOM
way. PARENs.
