WHY does the custom prevail OF pass
ing to .he right in driving' This query
is some hat difficult of answer, as there
are no substantial facts that can be adj
duced in explanation. The custom
originated, perhaps, in che early days OF
New England when the roads were
passable only to horsemen and ox-teams.
In driving oxen tie custom has always
been for the driver 10 walk on the left
side OF The cart in order to better see
the road, make the requisite calcula-
tons for teams passing IN the opposite
direction, aud also to enable him 10
larrup the team with his right hand. In
this way The two drivers came togeth-
er, and any accident by collision or in
lerlocking OF wheels was thereby avoid
ID. When the roads became settled
snd were accessible to lighter vehicles.
The ox-carts were. in a degree, super
seded by the former, but the drivers
were probably the same. aud eonse-
quentiy retained their old-time habits.
The custom in England and most for
eign countries, with the exception oil
Freaee, IL TO pass 10 the len in travelling
either BY carriage or rail. The English
settlers Of New England probably re.
tanned this habit on their first entrance
20 the new world. bat we're afterwart
Obliged 10 abandon Il in view OF the
exlgencies Of locomoting by oxen. II

- accepted, the custom Of passing 10
the right BY our forefafheFs vas oil
course perpesualed to their dsscen-
dants, and has thus been handed down
intact TO the present day. However the
system Of locomotion in America now
in vogue may have originated, the Gus
tom IL uncouth and sometimes fraUghl
with danger. Why q man who il drIv-
ing . spirited or uaruly horse should
sit on that side Of the wagon furthsss
removed from passing vehicles, and
thus, By bis inespaeisY 70 obtain . full
and clear view Of the road and his prog
unity to other vehicles, eRgender risk
Of limb or even life, surpasses the COM
mon understanding. Il may be argued
that be can better use his whip
hand in this position. but By passing 70
the LEFT be can still retain the use Of the
right hand, and At the ssme time avoid
the danger Of eollisiom.
The same may be said Of railway
travelling. The engineer 10 located On
that part Of the engine The furthest re-
moved from The parallel tracks, and ID
thus prevented from seeing any imme-
date obstruction or danger that may
imperil the safety Of the train. Until
within few years the Pennsylvanis
railroad followed the English system Of
passing 10 the lefi. but for some unac-
counisble reason il changed that method
of travelling for the prevailing American
way. Perhaps mechanics and scienti-
&c men may be able 20 assign some plsusi-
bic reason tnr this custom, bot to the
average mind II is inexplicable.-Hart-

There are good teachers q should like to give their names) whose worth is beyond price. Let them have the highest salaries But more than one taxpayer wonders if it is really nec- essary for the Board of Education to em- ploy both superintendent and secretary, and if so, if men equally well fitted could not be found who would not require a salary enabling them to dress in broadcloth and fine linen.
