Try. Our school board cannot be too
careful in selecting good and efficient
teachers. No teachers Should be en-
ployed unless they do good work. A
large amount of money is expended
annually in the support Of our city
schools, and we cannot afford to keep
in our schools incompetent teachers.
# g teacher is employed, and after
commencing, is found wanting, or in
capable of filling the place, dismiss
him and procure a better one, if pos
sible. We want good efficient teach
ers, persons of good health. and able
to endure all that is required Of them
as teachers. The Board of Education
has duty to perform, not only in Sc
curing good teachers, but to visit the
schools often. Show to the teachers
their interest in the schools. Also see
that the school rooms are fitted up
pleasantly, and attractively. The rooms
in the old building in the first ward
need new painting, the old dingy col
or made light. Make the school room
place the scholar delights to be in.
The patrons of the school have a duty
to perform in visiting the schools Of
ten, and watching the improvement of
their children. When the parents take
an interest in the schools, and show it
to the teachers, it will stimulate them
to do their best, and our schools will
be a success.

There have been about half dozen

better. There have been no new cases

The case at the hospital, New York

CROP REPORT. - We have been

last week, the crops are very promising
What wheat there is looks very prom
Using for a good yield per acre. Oats
is very heavy; Barley is cut and lying
cut with fair probable yield. Consid-
cradle Rye is raised in the county
which is mostly cut and in the shock
Corn is coming forward rapidly with
a prospect of a good crop. Flax also
looks well. Farmers say the Hay crop
will not be an average yield, but Of
good quality, being thick on the ground
AS a general thing the farmers feel
well as regarding their crops, Then
butter and cheese bring very low
prices in comparison with years hereto
fore, and in consequence they are a
little disponding over their dairy pro-
duct prices.
