Some parents will send child ten
months at a dollar per month TO one
teacher rather than five, at two dollars
to another, and better teacher. This
is saving of time and money,
When you see young man take a
sudden interest in his school. and be-
gin to fix up. and to look sheepish,
you needn't look toward the prOiess-
Or's chair to determine tie sex of the
teacher.
Lecture your scholars frequently up
on the subjects you are teaching, apart
from the book, and iniersperse your
lectures with frequent aud searching
questions. This is good plan, and
you will find il 80 upon trial.
Happy the teacher who has the
cooperation of his patrons. No troub-
lie with the pupils them Everything
will move off merry as marriage bell
Would that parents could see the in
terest Of THEN children ard act Accord
ingly.
RIFF complaining Of hard times
adds to your enjoyment or happiness,
then, in the name of common sense,
just complain on until your cup of
bliss is full to overAowing. We don't
see that any body else need be partie-
ularly disturbed about il.
Have we not said all that can be
necessary to show parents their duty
in regard to visiting the schools. II
it were their horse in training, how
alert and watcl!ul they would be.
But as to their child, for whose use
fulness here and happiness hereafter
they are responsible. TIE case seems to
be different. At least, many act more
iudiferently in regard 20 the matter.
Messrs. Frank and Marion Calvert,
and Mans. Rowe will please accept
our thanks for helping Us out of the
woods, when we were lost, and for
their hospitable entertainment for the
rest of the night. Though We did a
land Office business shouting, We were
not coon hunting; or if We were, we
will never attempt it again in a buggy.
J. Cit really makes but little
difference, practically, whether you
consider the factors Of a product con-
crete or abstract, so the result is nu.
merically correct. How would it strike
your ear, then, to say three dollars
times fifteen bushels are for:y-five dol
lars? And if three dollars times fifteen
bushels are forty-five dollars, wculd il
not follow that three bushels times
fifteen dollars are forty-fve bushels?
Mr.. Barrett speaks of enlarging hi:
paper. and says that he will then de
vote more space to educational matters,

his interest in the welfare Of teacher;

Barrett. how many subscribers do you
need to enable you TO eDlarges

depend on themselves alone for knOwl
edge or inspiration. We are improved
by association with Others-by the frie

the truth of Ibis? Let us enlarge the
sphere of our observation. If we can
not stand in the full blaze of light, le
us, at least, remove as many as posi-
bic of the Opaque obstacles, and receive
what We can of light.
