coNCERNING SCHOOL AGENTS.

atONNEhNlNG SCftOOl4 AGtNlS.
wish to say few words with regard 10
school agents, Every school agent must
be aware that a great responsibility rests
upon him. Then let every district elect
the best man as agent. II you select one
who has some favorite 10 employ us teach
er, or who will take no interest, hut win
hire the first person that applies, and at
the cheapest rate, you can blame none but
yourselves, if the school is failure.
Every person, whether he has children or
not, has a deep and vital interest in this
choice, and should by all means attend the
district school meeting. There Is no meet
ing held, more important to the interests Of
education than this; yet it is often consd-
cred by many, of the least Importance.
Choose the right man, and you may leave
the business TO his care for that year.
And here let me say that unless the dis
tricts do perform their duty in the selection
of the agent, the superintendent can ac-
complSh little-hs hands are often tied, his
best efforts utterly futile. But you will
say he has the power of rejecting Il teacher
il he is not suitable This Is true, and yet
ii will do little good. unless the people are
bound To have the best teachers and the
agent secures the right one, in the first
place. The agent has the advantage He
can inquire into the past record of the APP
plicant. and can know whether he Is no for
the place or not. The superintendent has
no such opportunity; he must Judge by the
literary qualifications of the candidate, aud
hy his general knowledge Of human nature.
We are sometimes almost Obliged 10 give
certificates in cases where We should by
no means hire the persons They may be
tlne scholars, but we can know nothing of
their past successive have no means ot
knowing; recommendations are Of no &C
count. We have no confidence in them.
We must have actual knowledge of what
person has done.
Therefore. there should be the closest
sympathy between the experimenting com
mttec and the agents, for IL is only 10y
working together that the best results can
bc reached II the committee have been
in Office year or more, they know who OF
the teachers have succeeded in town, and
they NAV also know of others whom they
can endorse. IL Is then the part Of the
commoncst prudence. that the agents con
suit with the experimenting committee
before they engage, unless they can secure
one who has given satisfaction In the
| district. \. W. >.

OLD TINES AND NEw.-DoubtleSs every
Christian who has heard of the terrible
tragedy at POcasSet has felt his blood run
cold ut the awful deed of those insane
parents who Abraham-like would offer
their child as sacrifice. But doubtless,
too. these same Christians will persist In
telling of the beautiful example of The
patriarch Abraham and eXtol, as in the
past, his wOndrOuS faith. Mr. Freeman
is i'm Jail. but had Abraham fully carried
out his intention no arrest would have
been made. for it was time when such
horrid, hideous offerings had general sane
ton. Mr. Freeman has only illustrated In
n practical way the Christian sermon on
faith and the Sunday School lesson as pre-
scented in our various Sunday School lesson
papers He ought 10 have the thanks Of

OF Abraham such a convenient theme
