THE BASIS or PROSPERITY

That agriculture is the basis OF all
prosperity is generally conceded, and
current statistics give emphasis TO the
fact. Thus, while the estimated yield OF
the American gold and silver mines dur
ing the twentY-seven years from 1S49 to
1876 was S1,017,OO0OOO, the value OF
leading agricultural products Of the
single year 1877 was $1,594,O00O0O in
round numbers. In other words, the
farmer In single year extracted nearly
as much wealth from the soil AS the
miner obtained in twenty-seven years %
mining activity.

There has been less inventive genius
displayed in the production of maehin-
cry in the pottery business than IN any
other branch of manufacture under the
sun. The creation of pnttery is almost
entirely dependent upon the manual skill
of the operative potter, and the only inn
movement that has been made in 4,G0O
wears is In the substitution of steam
power for the hand and foot in revolving
the bigger and the throwing wheel.

THE "REv." EDWARD CowLEY.
The people of this city have been very
much exercised over the trial and con-
victioh Of the Rev. edward Cowley, with
whose cruelty to children, as manager OF
the Shepherds Fold, your readers are
acquainted. 1t has BEN the most inter
esting event of the season, exciting more
comment and indignation than would
ordinarily be expected from people de-
voted to business and pleasure to the de-
gree that New Workers are at this season
of the year. The sentence is that Cow.
| ley shall be confined in the penitentiary
for one year and pay fine of $3.50,
The punishment is generally be
lieved to be just, and have not indeed
| heard two opinions concerning IL.
judicial trial was necessary, of course
but the preliminary examination brought
out such overwhelming proofs of his
guilt that il was felt to be sufficient. \
stay of execution will be granted as a
matter of right, which will delay some
what the demands OF justice. 1t is moi
q case, however, where Il technically
can be taken advantage of, and he will
not escape. II would be well now il
otherinstitutions of the same nature could
be investigated. The society for thu
prevention of cruelty to children is do
ing . valuable work, and The success i
has met with in this case, has recon
mended it to the encouragement of al
good citizens. o. Q. NJ.

VAUDEVILLE.
Annual Meeting Of the Maine Educational
Association.

WATERvILLE, May Z.
A large number of school teachers and other
educators from different parts of the state have
been arriving in town since Wednesday even
ing. A heavy shower of rain on Thursday at.
ternoon prevented several from visiting some
of the village schools; but with that exception,
the weather has been all that could be desir-
ed. The attendance is much larger than at
any previous occasion, and the general charac-
ter of the meeting shows steadily increasing
interest in the purposes of the organiza ton.
The chapel of the Waterville Classical Insti-
tute was chosen as the place for the meeting,
which at 730 on Thursday evening, was called
to order by the President, Principal A. W.
Burr of Hallowell. Prayer was offered by
Prof Lane of Waterville, after which the
President set forth the objects of the associa-
ton and briefly reviewed its history. The
objects Of the society seem to be to secure
greater unity of agencies, methods and aims in
the work of teaching in the state, to make
school teaching definite profession, and to OBJ
tain the hearty cooperation of the whole edu-
cational force of the state and then make it a
united power for more effectually carrying out
its design and aim.
Prof. E. W. Hall of Colby University, was
introduced and read very interesting paper
upon the question, "What may our colleges do
to improve our Sunday and common schools?'
He urged the adoption of uniform standard
of admission to college, by which means
great hindrance to the efficiency ofthe secondary
schools might be removed. No college in New
England requires for the proper reception and
appropriation of its culture any better prepara-
ton than ought to be had to insure successful
work at any other college. There should be
more intimate relations between the academy
and the college. Some kinds of assistance
might be rendered by the college Frequent
ial entrance examinations unnecessary Since
colleges directly influence the common schools
through the agency of their students who be-
come teachers in vacations or at graduation,
every possible means should be used to fit the
undergraduate for public school service. A
professorship of didactics ought to have place
in the college faculty. The State Superinten-
dent and the principals of our normal schools
and others who make speciality of the science
of teaching, might impart instruction by
| courses of lectures in the prescribed curricu-
| lum. Every graduate should carry away clear
views of our common school system and of its
value in a free country, and should be qualified
| to discharge those duties connected with our
public schols which the state has right to ex-
| pect from educated citizens.
A lively discussion followed, participated in
| by Prof. J. L. Morse of Kent's Hill Principal
| Rounds of Pennington, Prof. Chapman of
| Bowdoin College, superintendent fash of Port

Second Parish Sabbath School.

The 63th anniversary of this school was
celebrated last evening with appropriate and
interesting exercises.
The display Of flowers while not profuse was
admirable in taste and charming in arrange
ment, and in keeping with the reputation of
the ladies Of this society in this direction.
Beautiful floral offerings also tenderly and
touchingly commemorated members of the
school deceased during the year. They were
for Arthur Carney, Eddie Fernald, Addie
Poor, Ada Marston, Willie Chase and Annie
Hall.
The music on this occasion was prominent
feature of the exercises and merits high praise.
The anthems by the choir were given by a
double quartette, consisting of Mrs. Fogg and
Miss Pratt, sopranos; Mrs. Farley and Mrs.
Pratt. altos; Messrs E. A. Noyes and Snow,
tenors and Messrs. Turkey and Pratt bassos,
with Miss Greedy as organist, under the direc-
tion of Mr.. Noyes, and were very finely rem
dered. The male quartette was especially
pleasing Miss Annie Hill rendered "The
Lord is mindful from the oratorio of ST. Paul
with much power and feeling The trio "Hear
our prayer" by the Misses Webster and Mr..
Hall was gem, and Miss Nellie Webster's
solo "Entreat one not to leave thee" was
especially praiseworthy for its distinctness of
enunciation and admirable expression as well
as for the sweetness and power of her voice.
From the superintendent report we learn the
following: School members sol, having 6
officers and 80 teachers. Five new classes
have been formed during the year and one
discontinued. Total number of classes 80.
Two hundred and thirteen new scholars have
been added during the year. One hundred
and sixty Of this number are members of the
school at present. One hundred and four have
left the school, making net increase of 100.
Largest attendance at any session 312; smallest
104; average 250. Fifteen scholars have ex-
pressed saving hope in Christ, 10 of whom
have united with the church. Four children
have died during the yoar. There are 400
books in the library.
