ADVICE TO YoUNG LADIES marry
ing make your own match do not marry
n man to get rid of him, or to obi ge him.
or to save him. The man who would go
to destruction without you will quite as
likely go with you, and perhaps drag you
along. Do not marry in haste. lest you
repent at leisure. DO not marry fol n home
and a living. Do not let auHtS, fathers, or
mothers sell you for money or position into
bondage, tears, and lifelong misery, which
you must endure. Place not yourself la
bitually in the hands of any sutton until
you have decided the question of marriage
human wills ARE weak, and people often
become bcwilderud and do no. know their
error until it is too late. Get away from
their influence, settle your head. and make
up your mind alone. Do not trust yourself
in the keeping of one who has no heart, u"
head. no health. Shun the man who ever
gets intoxicated. Do not rush th0ughtlrss

A decidedly new and good feature in this
law is the appointment of school visitors.
The Department of Education is empowered
to appoint six persons in zach ward, who
hal he styled 'School Visitors." The
school property of their ward will be en-
trusted to their charge, and they are ex-
pected to visit and superintend schools
under their care. They will naturally be
men somewhat advanced in life, Of educa-
ton and means, and disposed to take an in
terest in educational matters. 1t is intend
ed hat they shall hold frequent meetings,
and when assembled from all parts Of n
city, they will form n sort Of independent
advisory body to the Board Of Education.
1t is in this essentially representative body,
that the initiative of important matters will
be taken. These visitors are authorized to
furnish the Board an annual estimate OF the
expenditures necessary in their wards for
each year, independent OF the salaries OF
teachers. The operation Of this law Will
nave n s~alutnry effect. The Board OF Visi-
tors will act as n balance wheel to the main
body, tending to prevent extravagant expen-
ditures or unwise economy.
