The reformed sunday school.

Last Sabbath we visited the Reformed
Sunday School, Of this place, which is alto
gether the largest in town. The school is in
prosperous and hourishing condition under
the uperintendency ol Daniel Wieand ESQ.,,
whom we are assured is well-liked by teach.
ers and scholars. The session was opened
by the Superintendent, the school singing
Happy Songs" accompanied by the organ,
played by our popular music teacher, Prof.
John F. Halbach. Rev. Derr, from Stating.
ton, the former pastor Of the church, being
present, offered prayeri another hymn was
sungi the school, by request of the Superin-
tendent, read in concert the Golden Text
and Central Truth OF the lesson for the day.
The Teachers then lifted the regular eollec-
tion, and proceeded to the review of the les
sons studied during the last quarter; the
school using the International Sunday
School Lessons, followed the regular custom
Of review.
By request of Mr.. Halbach we taught the
class Of young men under his charge, and
spent very pleasant aud profitable half
hour in the review of the class on the lesson
The Superintendent then practiced the In
iant classes in singingIn preparation for the
coming Christmas exercises, and after the
dismissal of this party Of very happy and ex-
cellent little singers, praeticed the large
school in the same manners the earnest aud
animated singing in the school is quite re-
markabe feature, seldom seen in other
schools Mr.. Wieand is a good singer and
very excellent teacher.
The report of the Secretary, Mr.. George
Kemerer, was read by classes there were
29s scholars enrolled, and PSI present, be-
sides "a teachers. The collection amounted
to S2.54. The Infant department numbered
40 scholars, not having a separate room in
which to meet, it is divided into Eve or six
classes and taught by as many teachers AZ
ter singing another hymn, the school re-
peated the Lords prayer, being led by Rev.

One half of our school term is flHished
and the schools will be closed until the Srd
of January. Comparatively few changes
will be made at the opening of the next ses-
sion. Children shall come into the same
schools that they have hitherto attended,
unless orlered by the Principal to go into
another room. Six months is too short
term 10 allow me 70 make promotions when
the term is half completed. The teachers
cannot, during three months advance pupils
sufficiently to make 1t good policy to pro-
mote a scholar into higher grade. Let a
child, as far as possible, understand one
thing before you attempt to teach it another
A second reason for making no changes is
the creation Of new school during the ses-
sion just ended. The school which has, up
to this time, been known as "Primary Ad-
vanced," will now be called Secondary No.
90 and the Secondary" viii be called
Secondary No. l." This arrangement en-
ables us to let pupils in all the lower schools
study a little farther in their different
branches than they could otherwise have
studied. No pupils being promoted into the
higher schools, the teachers in those rooms
can devote more time to those scholars now
under their charge. E.
We desire TO have the children come regu-
larly during the next three months, even to
the last day. Examinations for promotion
will be held at the close of the terra, and
only those who psss the examination win
be promoted. Irregular pupils who are, n
consequence Of their irregulan.Y, not able
to 90 on with.their respective classes will be
denoted. E. D. soHNABEL, Principal.

settled down to a disgraceful personal con-
test between Messrs. Weaver, OF Iowa, and
Sparks, of Illinois. Weaver called Sparks

was " scoundrel and william" The bell-
gerents advanced towards each other, and

adjourned.
