Moral Training in Common School

AVN AbaAAAAiiA> - SVhhitAiOii 'NtIcobG
Ncw England Journal of Education.
1t must be acknowledged that on
one side our system of education,
public and private, are open to Just
criticism. They deal TOO exclusive
~ with the intellect and neglect the
affections and the will-thc sources
of moral life and Christian manhood
and w%omanhOod. But it is also
right that the people should under
stand where lies the blame for this
omission. 1t does not fairly lie at
the doors Of the teachers of our pri-
vate or public schools. We honest
~ believe, as the result of years OF
observation, in all parts OF our
country, that no class of people,
not eXceptinGthc clergy themselves,
are doing so much for the morals
Of the children and youth OF the
UnitCd States as teachers. Think
Of the multitudcs OF incompetent,
wicked, foolish parents, and see
what work they make in the train
ing of their children! Go through
a street of New York inhabited by
the lower grade of its population,
and see the home influences about
the little ones. Then drop into a
New York public school, and see
how the same children are cared
for there, and,the sort of people you
have them in charge, and you will
apprelend what We mean. Our
teachers often make mistakes, and
are human like the rest of us, but
how many fathers and mothers, of
any class, are as conscientious and
successful in the training of their
boys and girls as the thousands Of
noble men and women who are toll.
ing for Il smaller compensation than
any professional class, to overcome
the mistakes of home neglect
We visited a great school in New
England city a few years ago,
which was largely filed with chill
dren who came to it as their only
home. There were orphans, sent
there by their guardians; the chill
dren OF people who had fallen ont
with the world /; of officers of the
army andnavy of men of business
who were living in the half civilized
communities of the far west; some
times of fashionable women who
were dawdling away life in Europe.
Think of the work and responsible
ty cast On half a dozen teachers by
the parents OF these five hundred
children : Think of what you do
you ask a college president
and faculty to he not only the
teachers, but to stand in the place
Of parents to your son, for the few
most impressible years of his life!

In my Investigations OF the III
sects Of the orange tree, have dis
covered another curious insect on
some branches infested with scale
insects, and given me by Major y.
j. Russell. | at first took them to
be aphIdes, but on close eXamina-
ton they proved to be II psocus,
The eggs are laid in oval masses
under and frequently on upper part
Of leaf, and are protected by,a close.
~ woven web, through which are
S%pIinklcd sooty PARTICLES.
The young when first hatched
are very active, white, aphiS-like
looking creatures, from Il dozen to
twenty clustered together in all
stages Of development beneath the
web. On disturbing them, they
dispersc with surprising %rapidity.
They probably prey upon the young
scale insects and the decaying mat
ter caused 10y them.

1t may be easily distinguished by
the following characteristics Pale

long and thread.likc, reaching to
nearly end Of abdomen, covered
with fine hair. Matured specimens
have four wings, the front ones
considerably longer than the

day for examination are suffering

Have also found Oh the leaves an
entirely new insect belonging to
the order H~eHropteyd, and which
probably preyS upon the scale i'll
sects. 1t may be called the orange
tree psocus (P$0cHs cityicod).
AS a remedy for the scale insect
| would recommend a trial of those
given by Dr.llarrls in his work on
''InseCts Injurious to Vegetation"
They are as follows: A wash made
of two parts of soft soap and eight
water, with which is to be mixed
enough to bring it to the con
'istency of Il thick whitewaSh.
This is to be put upon the trunk
md limbs of the trees with a brush,
md as high as practicable so as to
over the whole surface, and fill all
he cracks in the bark. The insects
may also be killed by using in the
same way a solution of two pounds
If potash i'll seven quarts of water,
II a pickel consisting of a quart OF
salt in two gallons of wa.
Cr.
The remedy for scale insects on
he orange, one that proved in ey-
way effective, according to pro
esSor S. f.. Gard, is the firing Of a
gun loaded with powder only,
rmong the injected branches, early
IN The morning when wet with dew.
This plan is worthy Of a trial, at

CLAMPS Chapel to be R,butI.

We, in common with all good citi-

ted Clapp's Chapel, preaching place
of the Methodist Church in the fifth
district of this county, which has been
twice maliciously burned to the ground
within a few months, is again TO be
rebuilt. We are informed that uncle
Solomon Clapp, the father and bull
wark of Methodism in that region,
says that after fighting the battles for
30 many years, he will not allow any
obstacles to interfere in his old days.
Aud, suiIiDg his action to his words,
he has, we learn, subscribed the sum
of $50 himself to the work. About
5000 had been raised a few days since,
and it is expected to put the job
through at once.

English SparrOWS

Some three or fouI yesls ago, Mr.
E. ]. Sanford brought to this city
from New York, four pairs Of English
sparrOWs and turned them loose. We
have occasionally heard from them
since then, but nothing definite until
tnis season. Now nine OF them have
built nests around the tower of the
Church Street NJ. E. Church, South,
and appear to be entirely at home.
They increase very rapidly aud we
may soon expect to see hundreds of
them about our streets. In the larger
cities they are protected by stringent
municipal ordinances. In New York
provisions are made for feeding them
through the winter.

knights of Honor.

A circular recently Issued by Su-
preme Dictator J. A. Cummings,
giving complete record of the yell
low fever deaths, losses, etc., shows
that during the five months of July,
August, September, October and No
vember, 1878, there was total of 1856
deaths from all causes, among mem
bers of the Order of Knights of Honor
in the United States. OF this number
1913 were from yellow fever, and l43
form other causes. The sum of $780,
600 was required from the widows and
orphans benefit fund of the Order to
meet these losses, which is a
greater amount than had been dis
bursed from this fund from the begin
ing of the Order, five yeIrs previous.
The Supreme Dictator concludes his
circular as follows:
With total loss more than double
that of any other like benz ficiary
society, we have paid in full every
benefit caused by the epidemic. and
proved to the world the ability of our
organization to successfully meet the
seVeTest trial. This work has been
done with hardly more than the usual
number of suspensions, and though
our growth w. temporarily checked
by the extraordinary demand upon its
resource, rapid increase is now taxi
ing place over the country, and we
now number at least fifty thousand
mem bers.
These events have proved the wis
dom of our system of one general
Jurisdiction for the Widows and Or
phans' Fund, and the efficiency of our
laws for the government of the Order.
No extra judicial measures have been
necessary TO meet the emergency, and
all consultation required between the
Supreme Officers mas been carried on
by letter.
Aside from the payment of death
benefits, about SIS. 900 was contributed
voluntarily for the relief of the living,
who were in want and suffering by
reason Of the epidemic.
In this record every knight of Hon
or may take just pride. 1t places US
in the front rank as great benevo-
lent ami business institution, aud
secures future of untold usefulness
for our beloved Order.
