PUBLIC School ExERCIsEs.-On
Friday last we were afforded the
pleasure of attending The ''clo>ing
day" exercises of the school of Mr..
Geo Howard, and it being our first
visit to any of the schools of Su
perlor, we enjoyed it very much,
aud, we are also pleased to state,
received very favorable impressions,
too. 1t being the last afternoon,
the exercises given, as is usually the
case, were more with n view to the
entertainment of the vlsitors-of
whom there were quite number
than to show off the ability, attain
ments and progress of the scholars
in the different branches of studies,
though if they have attained TO as
great proficiency in 9th II branches
as they exhibited in the reading and
arithmetical exercises, the parents
and guardians of the children have
nothing to complain Of in Mr.. How
ard AS a teacher, nor in the aptneSs
and studiousness of the scholars.
The arithimetical exercises de-
serve special ment ion, as the pro-
ficiency which nearly all of the
scholars exhibited in the rapid
addition of large numbers was
something remarkable, and quite
put to shame those of the adult
visitors who attempted to compete
with them.
Another noticeable feature was
the paper ssThe Occasional" gotten
up by the scholars, in which was
exhibited considerable talent and
taste, the salutatory, written by
Miss Eliza B irdon, being especially
commendable, and also a witty ar
ticle on "a Railroad to SUPERIOR"
the author of which we did not
learn; also the Chit" at THE TINES,
which, of course, noe consider rather
far-tetched.
We have not time or space to
further particularize the exercises,
and can only state that they were
very pleasant and entertaining all
through.
The exercises being through, the
visitors were called upon for re
marks. In response to an invitation
from the teacher, Mr. James New,
ton, a member of the School Board,
made few appropriate remarks,
among other things remarking on
the great lack of interest exhibited
by many parents and guardians in
this District In not sending their
children to school, and in others In
not seeing that their children at
tend school regularly, in conse :
quence Of which the attendance
during the last term had been very
small, and expressed the hope that
it would not be thus another year.
Mr.. n. also said he hoped to see
the law passed in this State requr-
inc all children of suitable are to
attend school, on which point The
TINES thinks he is sound, and
heartily echoes the wish.
Mr.. Newton was followed by DR..
Rice, who made some remark :
which were very appropriate, indeed
expressing views and ideas which
we have no doubt made lasting
impression on many of his hearers,
and which will some day bring forth
good fruit. We would like to re-
peat them, bnt space forbids.
The school then closed, the schol-
ars separating to enjoy the freedom
and pleasures of a long summer va
cation, and the many visitors de-
p1rIing with the sense of having
spent a very pleasant and enjoyable
afternoon.

Effect Of Paris Green on Vcgc-
tables.

Whether Paris green, used in
the destruction Of potatoe bugs and
other insects, is poisonous to vege-
table life, is a question of much
interest to all. DR.. VIM. McMurtie,
of the Agricultural Department at
Washington, has devoted consider
able time and experiment to the
elucidation of this question. Among
other experiments he planted peas
in boxes of soil impregnated with
a solution Of arsenic of different
strengths, the object being to as
certain If arsenic could be absorb
ed in sufficient quantity by plants
to become injurious to the health
of the consumer, and if not taken
up by the plants during growth,
whether 1t exerted poisonous in
fiuencc upon the plants themselves.
The plants were found to be affect
ed in proportion to the amount of
arsenical compound used, the size
of the growing plants decreasing
regularly as the amount Of poison
was increased.
A chemical test of these plants,
after being SO effected by this
poison, revealed no trace of arsenic.
and the conclusion arrived at was.
that arsenic cannot be absorbed
and assimilated by plants in the
process of growth, though plants
may be injured by the presence in
the soil of about 900 pounds of
Paris green. With the quantity of
Paris green actually used, perhaps
five or ten pounds to the acre, no
effect upon plants to their con-
sumers is possible.
