Board Of Education are scarce. We
Itlirk that some Of the good people
of Collins SETTLEMENT District will
accept oftic office. Education has
not reached its highest degree in
4llis District. We have energy,
talent, and . good chance to i'm
prove it, and why not the parents
awake their sleeping energy and
put their wits 10 work, cooperating
with the tcachersin developing ed

key Of knowledge; and with this
key cnviablo fame can he obtained.
l think the parents blame the
teachers too much for not impr0v-
ing their pupils. Now look here:
You (parrnts) never encourage
your children to study hard; and
if one gets TO the foot Of his class,
or is kept in for illcncss, or any
thing Of the kind, the parent will
say to his child, ale kept you in"
or what ever punishment you may
inilict,". rrom jealousy" Therefore
the parent lays the foundation Of
contempt. and is also Installing
stubbornncss, which Is q disgrace
TO any ono possessing it. And
then if tho teacher don't subdue
this and bring it under, land you
might us well undertake TO make a
mouse draw an elephants load,)
some one else will talk about the
teacher not cultivating 4 loving
disposition in this child, Educa-
ton is not merely knowing what is
contained in the books, and moth
ing else; for superiority pro-
nounccd it vanity, and them pos
scs$ing it fools. ('rhat is. know
ing nothing clse.) Truc, education
is 4 cultivated heart, refined in
manners, and all the passions sub
ducd. And this can never be oh
tanned unless the parents cncour-
ago ii when the teacher has taught
it. Parents and teachers ought to
cooperate and work together; for
it is no use for one TO SOW and the
other to scatter. Everything per-
tanning to godliness should be
taught in the school.room, and also
by the firesiic. Energy and puri-
ty, and everything pertaining to
them should be encouraged and
upheld. We as teachers Should
know ourselves, and If we are not
fl fer the position We had better
quit; for we will not loose our re-
ward in 50 doing,

Niagara Falls is the grandest cataract
in the world. Half of it belongs to the
United States, yet it is not possible for
an American citizen even to look at the
falls unless he pays at least twenty-five
cents! Watkins Glen, New York, is a
wonderful chasm, wild and picturesque,
but the free American citizen must pay
fifty cents to enter it. 1t is hard to fence
in Mount Washington, and it has not
yet been accomplished, but as the fares
are much higher than the mountain the
free American citizen may think he can
save money by walking to the top. He
is mistaken. He will have to pay eighty
cents toll to walk up. The Au Sable
chasm is gloomy and grand, but it costs
the free American citizen fifty cents to
see it. The fume at Franconia Notch is
worth seeing seventy-fve cents worth.
The whirlpool at Niagara is sad and
somber, at least it makes the free
American feel so when he goes there
with a party of ladies-ffty cents each.
The Falls of Montmorency are romantic,
historical and beautiful-twenty-five
cents admission ond fifty cents toll.
And thus it goes. If American specula-
tors could only erect wall along the
seacoast SO that no one could see. the
ocean without paying one dollar, it is
quite likely the free American would
go to see it without murmur and take
the children if they were allowed to 60

cyone, the center of the Pleiades, con-
stellation in which "more of human his
tory, hopes and feelings" center than
in any other. This was the only 20.
diacal, and consequently chronological,
star in such a position at that date.
Then it was that the equinoxial point OF
the heavens coincided with the Pleiades,
and the year according to the primeyal
fashion Of all nations, began. That
year was with the Pleiades to lead it
out in that significant manner, the be-
ginning Of the first human and historic
example of the grand cycle called the
procession of the equinoxes; destined
thenceforward to progress continually
through all the twenty-four hours and
twelve signs of the zodiac, though only
at the rate of three seconds of time every
year, SO as not to repeat itself until
rs, ,827 years have come and gone" The
sum of the diagonals of the base of the
pyramid, expressed in inches, is %, ,827.
The interior of the Pyramid is, per-
haps the most interesting subject of
study, and it was a Hebrew reader of
Professor Smyth's work who suggested
its chronological significance. Begin
ming at the entrance passage, an incline
plane extends for a distance of 4, 445
pyramid inches, supposed to represent
the time succeeding the dispersion Of
mankind, when the patriarchal life was
abandoned, and ending at the symbol of
the bottomless pit. This is to represent
the descent of the idolatrous and Pagan.
The exodus furnished an escape, how
ever, for his chosen people, and ac-
cordingly this is indicated in the first
ascending passage of the grand gallery.
This represents periods to Malachi, and
the four hundred years when the voice
of prophecy was closed, or 1912 years
of Jewish history in all. Then comes
the symbol of the birth of Chyist, shown
by peculiar joint in the wall, and then
follows a marked portion of the grand
gallery, thirty-three inches in length,
Representing the years of his life. At
the end of this is well, through which
was made the descent into the bottom
less pit, and which admits those who
are on the descending plane, if they
choose to enter it by repentance, to the
gallery above. From tho well the grand
gallery extends for 1881 inches, which,
it is claimed, represents the length of
the Christian era.
