THE Value or CONDIMENTS


BY condiments we mean substances
like sugar, spices, vinegar and others
that are employed to impart flavor
and piquancy to tho staple foods
They are usually regarded as non es.
sential, and some writers on dietetics
have gone so far as to condemn their
use, unless in rare instances and in the
most in6nitesimal proportions. Like
all good things they arc liable to be
abused but when properly used they
are valuable elements in our daily food.
Prof Volt, of Muncb than whom
there is no higher authority on such
subject, considers that their impor.
tance has not been sufficiently recog.
nized. 1t is not enough that food
should contain almcntary principles in
proper quantity to render it really
nutritious there must also be supply
OF condiments. These have been com
pared to oil in Il machine, which nei-
ther makes good the waste of material
nor supplies motive power yet causes
IL to work better they render essen.

EDUCATIONAL.

BY NJ. l.. MoouowN

We have concluded TO place under
this caption report of all the schools
in the county that reach one hundred
per cent. of attendance any or.cvery
month Of the term. In our opinion
the school that can boast of one hun
dred per cent. Of attendance, is worthy
OF public notice and praise. Teachers
who succeed in reaching this high
standard, will confer q favor by re-
porting TO us at once, giving full ac-
count of their school, and telling how
they succeeded in securing such regu
lar attendance. Mr.J. IL. Mead, teacher
OF Lick Run school, in Goshen town
ship, has the first honor in this direc-
ton. J. d. illegal, ieacher of school
No. g., In tho same township, reached
one hundred per cent. Of girls and
ninety nine per cent. of boys. He has
not as yet sent in his report. We sub
nit Mr. Mead's report as sent in:
LICK Run, PA Oct. %, 1878.
have the pleasure Of sending you
the following report OF my school. AT
the close of month ending October 9th,
had enrolled eighteen scholars, and
had an average attendance of seven.
teen: Thirteen came 90 days and be
longcd 22 days; one came 2ll days
and belonged 22 days one came 2l
days and belonged 2l days one came
II days and belonged II days; one
came 10 days and belonged 10 days
one came days and belonged 7 days.
The per cent Of attendance during the
month was one hundred. Three Of
my pupils refused to go to the show
on the 10th of October IN order that
they might have a clear record in
in school. (An example OF fidelity
rarely found in the average school,
Ed The average grade on reports
sent to parents at the end of the month
was ninety. Patrons and scholars
manifest the greatest interest in the
school, Respectfully submitted.

Very favorable reports have reached
us from number Of districts in which
institutes were organized on Saturday
October 26th. The outlook for success.
iul work in this direction is very en-
coraging The great political demon
stration at Philpsburg on that day in
.turicred TO some extent with work in
the southeastern part Of the county,
but this is not significant of a failure,
rs n number of teachers have informed
us that they intend going to work in
earnest There are few scattered
about who seem to be opposed to this
means ofimprovement, as well as every
thing else which has for its object ad-
vancement. 1t is gratifying to us tc
know that we have struck a means by
which We can discriminate between
the two classes that engage in the
work OF teaching, and we are satisfied
that such information will come as 9
beacon light to guide us in our future
efforts TO sustain the dignity Of thu
profession.

COMPOSITION WRITTEN BY A GIRL FIF
TEEN YEARS OF ACE.

TEEN YEARS OF AGE.
Among numerous compositions re-
ccived from scholars, we publish the
following instructive one, verbatim:
DEAR TEACHER According to your
request for composition, ], in my hum.
bic way, will endeavor to give you a
limited description Of Philadelphia.
The population, as | find, Of this Qua
kcr City, is 6l4,O22. 1t borders on
the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers, q
short distance above their junction.
The city is twenty miles long and
eight miles wide. Its streets are
straight and its people better housed
than in any other large city in the
world. 1t has q magnificent park con
taining 5000 acres Of land, and mum.
ber OF public squares. 1t is noted ior
its benevolent, literary and scientific
institutions. Philadelphia was select
ed as the proper place for the Inter.
national Exposition Of 1873, commem'
Grating the anniversary of the Decla
ration Of Independence. The exhibition
plateau stands one hundred and TWEEN
ty feet above the Schuylliill and is al
ways swept by a delightful breeze
The principal buildings were five in
number, viz: Nam Hall Of Exhibition
Memorial Hall, or Art Gallery, Agri
cultural Hall, Horticultural Hall and
Machinery Hall These cover tota
area Of about forty eight acres anc
constitute the principal editicc only
The main exhibition building is a par
allclogram in shape 1880 feet long
and l6i feet wide. 1t is 20 feet higl
with central tower 100 high. Th'
cost of the Main Building was $3.50,
600. Fearing have made grca
many mistakes, will close my frs
composition.

through your most excellent paper, to make
q single statement in defence OF ourselves
as members OF colored Baptist church in

preached in said city that has caused
great excitement among its citizens, both
at home and abroad. The sermons we nave
allusion to are those concerning the sun
running around the earth, and the earth
standing still. We present these lines 10

drawn together large number OF eXclted
people from all parts OF the city and Viciu-

said above that the sermons have done more
harm than good Is because many made

each view. There's where the fun Will

mill, states that Mr.. Yancey is improving

Both are well cared for. Mr.. Hall (Who IS

against the county authorities for lack OF

which the accident imposed upon them, and
