That Sherman did not for single

true resumption appears to me, knowing
him for years and having observed him
closely, an indubitable fact. He never
understood that resumption requires, as
q precondition, restoration of stable
standard of value, and that resumption,
not redemption, was the point. All his
preparations prove this, and besides that
he deceived himself as to the people

Hasty legislation is worse than none.
Already this session on Act was sent
to the Governor for his signature,

Two Weeks vacation--A Pleasing Surprise
For the Teachers.

wishes Of all his scholars. After
thanking the pupils most heartily for
the beautiful and useful present, the
principal regretted that he was not

Acknowledgements for the compliment
He had expected that his only duty
would have been to return thanks for
the ginger cake Cloud laughter and
applause) that had been surreptitious-
ly placed upon his desk by the Fourth
Grade (who, as was afterwards learn
cd, besides contributing to tho pdr-
chase Of the lamp, had invested in tho
ginger cake as little side specula-
tion). He would say, however, that
he valued tho present, not only for it's
intrinsic worth, but as a mark of
friendship from his pupils. 1t makes
teachers heart light and his work
easy to feel chat he is looked upon as q
friend, and not as m enemy. 1t had
always been his object to make friends
of his pupils and to do all in his power
to develop their moral nature as we'll
as their intellect. He would rather
have 1t said Of his pupils that they are
ladies and gentlemen than that they
are versed in oil knowledge. For this
reason in many matters, as; for in
stance, in examinations, he hnd trusted
to their honor, instead Of keeping
watch upon them. If, after being
thus trusted, any one would practise
deception, the damage was to him and
not to the principal. He had never
detected any violation Of confidence
and he was happy to believe there had
been none. In conclusion he express.
cd regret at having to part with the
first grade, whom it had been pleas
