M1T1TIPIInITY FTEXT BOOKS.

A subject of so much Importance
cannot receive too much attention. LII
should be considered, and measures
taken to diminish the number, by the
teachers, by the district boards, and by
the people at large. Notice the causes
of this great evil. The principle cause
is the introduction of new books by
the teacher. For example, a teacher
comes into a school and finds SeaYey's
Goodrich's history. He prefers Swim
tons. so the old book is cast aside, and
SWinton introduced. This certainly is
not right. No teacher has, on his own
responsibility, right to introduce new
textbooks. IF the board sanction it,
all right, but not otherwise.
But many teachers do introduce
books on their own responsibility, thus
increasing the evil which they wish to
eradicate.
Let us now consider some of the
disadvantages arising from this multi
plicity of books. 1st. 1t makes many
classes consequently the teacher cannot
Go Justice to each recitation.
2nd. 1t makes the classes smaller
and consequently there is less interest
on the part Of the pupils, less competl-
ton among the members Of the class,
and less work accomplished.
On the other hand, the advantages
arising from uniformity are many.
1t saves time on the part of the teach
or, and accordingly more time can be
spent on each recitation.
It saves money on the part OF the
parents in so much as they are not re-
quired to purchase new books merely
at the option of some teacher.
Another important advantage is an
increase in the size of the classes, III
this way. Suppose thatin school are
two classes Of the same grade. One OF
five and the other Of four pupils; one
studying Olneys and the other Davies
arithmetic. BY putting the classes
together, thus making an interesting
class of nine, the time formerly deyot'
ed to both, may, if necessary, be devot-
ed to the one.
Still another advantage important tC
the pupils, is better classification al
the beginning of the term. Generally
from week to a month is spent al
the beginning of each term waiting
for certain pupils generally new
comers) to obtain books. We can dc
no better than to illustrate this by the
experience Of one teacher in the county
this summer. Some of the pupils
We're to obtain books. The matter ran
on one, two, three, and four weeks
they promising all the time to get the
books. Now,not only did these pupils get
behind themselves, but the whole class
was thrown back. If these pupils had
had their books at the beginning of the
term much more would have been ac-
complished. And thus it is with
DlG42y teachers.
Now come the plans for uniforms
ty.
/. Let the district board buy the
books and sell them to the pupils. In

that the latter street ends ut Hotel; AMI TO n person
on Beretania street looking down Alhkea, that street

REFINING on THE SPoT.-The sugar factory

have granted for the furtherence of this object a
loan equal to the amount which may be raised by

The oDJEcr DErEATED.--The object OF an Act

give everybody an equal chance TO procure q
piece OF land. But an amendment was Inserted
before the final passage which measurably defeats
that object, in these words "And no large tract
Of land valued at over three hundred dollars shall
be divided into small portions previous 10 the sale
thereof" This is an encouragement 10 tho old
and vicious system Of large and unimproved tracts
in individual hands, instead Of the opposite one Of
