An amusing story IS told of MFR.
Cough, when he went to Oxford to
address the student on temperance.
A few evenings before an eminent
man was to have delivered lecture
at Oxtord on 1.-The Evils of Tobac-
CO." The boys got into the hall an
hour beforehand, each with what
DR.. Carroll drolly emphasized as a
college pipe" in his mouth. The
time for the lecture arrived, but if
the lecturer did, it was never dis
covered--he was not visible through
the fog. The students sent word to
Cough when he came, that they
wouldn't have any temperance ,and
advised him not to persist in lectur-
ing. But he went to the hall. For
twenty minutes he spoke in panto-
mine amid the deafening catcalls
of the boys. Finally he stepped
forward, demanded British fair play
and offered to whip every one of
the 500 singly. This offer was
loudly cheered and promptly ac-
cepted, and big six foot athlete
was sent up on the stage. Cough,
who is a little man, backed off as
the big fellow approached him,
and explained. "My friends you
evidentl y misunderstood me. This
is to be an intellectual contest, not
q prize fight.'' The students
cheered again at this evidence of
the Americans shrewdneGs and
ordered debate to proceed. The
college lad was therefore. obliged
ia tackle the temperance champion
He was at a disadvantage, but he
quoted Scripture and remindeG
the plHcky lecturer that it was one
If the apostolcs who wrote to
Iimothy-a young man, too, like
themselves-to take a little wine
fur his stonnach's sake and for his
other infir.nities. The lads shouted
vociterou,ly at this, and wanted to
know how Cough could get around
it.
Cough slowly examined the six
footer from top to toe and then
said, "My' friends. look at this
athlete, this fellow with muscles
like steel, who can WELD the club
of Hercules, who can bend an
English yeoman's bow. who could
knock down an OK with the blow
of hammer. He is the perSoniti-
cation of health and strength. but
he thlpks he needs little vine for
his stomach's sake
Coughs inimitable manner of
saving this had a tremendous ef-

with delight and their defeating
champion retreatcd. Another was
sent up. He was the Intellectual
giant of his class, in contradistinc
ton to the six footer. lie, with
much seif-confdence, made a fin
lshed argument tor liquor drinking
based on Chrisl's changing the

not missed b day at school since he
commenced to attend in 1878. Mamie

The Sup. will send Institute cir
culars to the teachers this week. Any

please notify the Supt. and one will be
sent. These circulars contain the first
part of three years programme of
institute work, which every teacher
should study closely. The circulars
also contain a Course Of Study for

NORMAL SCHOOLS

We wish to urge upon some of the
younger teachers and advanced pupils
Of the county the Importance of at.
tending normal school. A training
such as the normals give is, if not a
necessary requisite in the list of a
teachers qualifications, at least great
help to him in his work. We have
young men and women engaged in our
schools who have the elements of a
good teacher in their characters.
They are earnest, energetic and faith
full, and have a liking for the work.
But they lack system and knoa02edge of
the best methods Of teaching. These
deficiencies the normal schools will
supply better than any other school.
The high schools cannot do it, for it
is fact that high schools do not give
the instruction which a district school
teacher needs.
The most advanced ideas in educa-
tion are tested and applied in the nor
NAL schools. The theory of teaching
is taught by men who have devoted
their lives to the work, and practice
work under the supervision Of compe-
tent directors is made a prominent
feature of the programme.
This is just what young teachers
need. We have two good normal
schools within easy reach Of us. I'm
der the instruction of such men as
Albee, Graham, Stearns, Salisbury,
lockwood or Briggs, young teachers
cannot but be benefited. The crude
ideas which young teachers naturally
form are refined and systematized.
The great responsibilities Of a teachers
life are brought clearly to their minds,
and they leave the normal prepared to
teach.
There is yet another view to be
taken of this matter: The teachers

Cney VIII have to discontinue their
kindly hospitality. It seems that
whereas in days gone by it was a most
exceptional thing for an invited guest
to ask to be allowed to bring a friend"
it is now withsome people a rule. In
fact, these people seem to save them
selves the necessity of mourning the
expense and inconvenience of giving
dances by procuring invitations for
their friends to other peoples houses
Two tiagrant instances have Just been
brought to my notice. A lady issued
some so invitations for a ball. She
received about 70 acceptances; but
among these 70, Is people asked if they
might be allowed to bring friends, II
OF whom turned out to be ladies. In
the other case, out of over 100 invita-
lions issued, Fl people made similar
application, but as the rooms were
small, the hostess explained that she.
unfortunately, could not comply with
their requests. In the face of this. Z

For the last eight days it has rained
