ANSWER to question which appear
ed in the JOURNAL, March 2Sth, 1878.
Mr.. K-If, after repeatedly visiting
the school, you conclude that it would
be greatly improved by change in
the management, go to the teacher
and tell him so. Do not command him
to make the change, but tell him you
think it would improve the school, and
give your reasons for thinking so.
Direct his attention to the points
wherein you think his management
wrong or weak. Be courteous. Do
not permit any difference of opinion to
make you angry or excited. BY using
harsh words you would not only lose
| his good will, but destroy the force OF
| your argument. The greater the diff
ference between you, the greater the
need of careful, earnest thought, for
either you or he may be all wrong. |
do not say that the teacher will adopt
all the changes which you may sug-
gest, but If they are expressed IN a
spirit Of friendliness think it would
be his duty to consider them very
carefully.
When the question appeared in the
Journal the Martel Association had
| adjourned, but judging from remarks
previously made, think | have ex'
pressed the will of that body. Will
Mr.. X. please publish lover his name)

AnrnlcAN GOODS Is ENGLAND.

C. b. Webster, United States Consul
at She field, England, reports to the De-
partment Of State at Washington: The
number of articles of American manufac-
ture, aud the quantities of agricultural
produce imported into Il at district isvery
large. There is prejudice against Amer
ican manufactures to overcome. II is
said they will not last. But those imple.
ments, like hayforks, that have been
proved, are getting large sale. One
firm in Sheffield has sold this season 1900
dozens of hayforks. 80 dozens of scythe-
snaths, 2,l42 dozens of locks, L20O dozens
Of iron planes, / ,lS5 dozens of box wood
rnles, 2,952 dozens Of hammers, and va
riety Of other articles of American pro-
duciion. Other firms have made large
sales One firm reports their importations
frem the United States Fl 600, mostly
small articles, like axe-handles, screws
sash.fasteners, wrenches, &c. A sharI
com petition must be expected. Already
articles are made ia England TO initiate
the American, but Of poorer quality. j
is Of The first Importance that the Ameri
can manufacturers should keep the quail
ty of their goods up TO the highest stand
ard.
The amount of fresh meat (American
sold in Sheffield during the last sn
months is lS1 $40 pounds. The prejudice
against It has almost enterely disappeared
Arrangements are making to increase 1t
sale by company, which is to open l
new stores. II is sold side by side wit
English meat indiscriminately. One firm

and Is divided into dairies- one Of 200,

Of 1915 COWS. Ii ia calculated that *
