exercises. liz consists of discussion of
the news Of the day between the pupils
and the teacher. the first half OF the
morning being devoted to that exercise.
The words, 1.-The Bulletin are drawn
on the blackboards in large German
text letters, and Immediately below, in
newspaper style, are headlines similar TO
those employed ypapers in giving the
points OF the most important news, and
then each headline is taken up by the
school, and general interchange of
views takes place between the teacher
and pupils.
The Bulletin is the daily paper OF that
room, and an editor is elected by the
school every month, whose duty is to
examine the Pittsburg papers every
morning, and to write down on the
blackboard before school hours, the
points OF discussion, to give a headline
resume OF the news of the day, as 1t
were, and if the editor exhibits capacity
for the work entrusted to him, he il
| reelected to his high position. OF course
| the discussion does not take in news OF
| every description, but only OF
the most interesting character
1t includes the proceedings OF
congress, foreign news, editorial
topics, local news, etc. The exercise is
regarded as part of their school work
and is entered into by every pupil with
the greatest possible interest. and many
of them whose parents can afford it, pur-
chase paper every morBing and study
its entire contents, just as they do their
grammar, their geography, and arithme-
tic. BY means of the Bulletin every
scholar learns the important news of the
day, and is enabled to understand the
various great questions which agitate the
public mind. The value of an exercise
of this kind is beyond description. and il
is hoped that it vii, soon become an es
tablished custom In every public school
in this country.

The postage stamp was born in Lon
don on the 10th OF January, 1910, and
England employed it alone for ten years.
France adopted it on the LIST of January,
1S49, and Germany in 1850. According
to Mr.. Alphonse EsQuiros, it was curl
Gus incident that gave rise to the idea of
postage stamps. A traveller was cross
ing, about forty years ago, district in
the north of England. He arrived at the
door of an inn where postman had
stopped TO deliver letter. "A young
girl came out to receive it; she turned
it over and over in her hand and asked

sum, and evidently the girl was poor. for

from her brother, but that she had no

postman. The traveller was a man who
rambled about the earth for instruction
and observation. Having good heart,
he offered to pay the postage OF the let
ter, and In spite of the resistance of the
young girl he paid the shilling. Her re-
sistance made him reflect. Scarcely had
the postman turned his back when the
young inn-keeper's daughter confessed

directors cannot expel students for not
taking the full course OF studies pre-
scribed by them.
