Nature says in regard to the Anderson School
n, Natural History: When we consider what has thus
been done in the United States it is no slight reproach
TO us that nothing OF the sort has been attempted In
England. The great aquariums which have recently
been built IN several places offer unusual iactes Tor
such an institution. But, alas Brighton sydenham'
and Southport are fear, wholly given up to ten per

Is Anton Dohrn whose Geological Station at Naples

red graduates aud six hundred UNDERGRADUATES all Of

DR. John Hall utters this bit of wisdom ::
"Teachers are sometimes tempted TO nagging They
do not sood, reprove, or punish outright Better
they did. The victim perhaps reports in this way: He
or she. the may be lis always at me- This is
mistake policy The average child is susceptible, and
responds promptly to generosity confidence, and OBJ
yous good will. When the chld-heart feels that the
teacher wishes expects and enjoys goodness in the
pupil Il has the strongest motive TO be good But let
the dark suspicion get into the mind My teacher
down upon me- and that little is heartily learned is
the less of two evils The greater and is the en-
piterfDg Of the child the poisoning OF Its foun-
tans and the kindling Of a malignant vindctive spirit
within it, Of which the effect is TO obliterate all that
might be geIe and to produce all that is demoniaca
1t is proposed to have new University of

The Regents of tho Now York University
have Just presented their report to the LoR1sa-
ture Of this State. They declare that the estab-
lishment Of aeademica departments OF Union Schools
has been much stimulated by the increased ap-
propriations Of 1872 and 1873 AS these have
ceased there will hereafter be small encouragement
for forming them, aud some Of those now In
operation will probably cease. Tne conviction is ex-
tending tnat the academies must procure eEdowments
10 secure 10 them efficiency; and there seems
20 be an increasing disposition TO make liberal cOntrbu-
tions for purpose To this end the Regents renew
their recommendation made a few years since that
funds given for educational purposes be received into
the State Treasury and annual interest be paid TO the
institution for whose benefit the deposit is made They
