Which may be due Us, and 9TH
erS.

one week ago, We went cuFsolii4
ever tho ground Of, what We believe
to te, a matter Of moro than passing
moment to Us, as citizens and par.
ents. In that article, we proposed
merely to lay bare certain irregulari.
ties, that we know exist, in the man.
agement of four local school affairs and
Herewith, to suggest such remedial
changes Of regulation, as we, In onr
best Judgment, thought sensible and
pertinent. The ever recurring per
pie1ity, that is Thrust annually upon
our teachers, of being solicited to &C.
cept pupils cot rightfaIly belonging
to their grade, has come to bean an
noyanoe to parents, as well ss teach,
ers, and it was with the single pur-
pose ef remeayrng this Trouble, that
we essayed to speak. If local pa
per is worth aa9ht, it natsst be one OF
its highest privileges and its moral
duty, to call public attention to public
matters, and discuss openly, that
which must always be made worse by,
the expression of private opinions, in
limited company, that is liable to be
,e;eated with addenda, amendments
and wilful Misrepresentation. 1t is
the duty ofths press 10 open every
sore on the body polite, bat not nee
essariy TO apply the balm. While,
however, such are the rights and du.
ties Of the newspaper, there is a Ger.
tain dignity and reserve ofaelf esteem
which, when once sacrificed 10y the
writer to trivial, seli,h or personal
enda, he ceases to DO entitled 10 the
POSITION of guide, or Iea8sr ofpdblic
opinion, and lis utterances come to
be no more, II an paltry go'slp or re-
vengeful small.taik, and he should
not be surprised to find his expected
weight in public matters to be no
more than that Of any ono, whose prl.
yats conversation is, by common cor"
sent, accepted as being influenced by
seitishness and prejudice. 1t was
with full consciousness Of our rights
and responsibilities, with positive
knowledge Of the facts assorted, and
with an anticipation o. unfavorable
comment, that we opened the subject
and We are nsttered to know, that
We wont not astray in 'our conception
its results. We wrote, as We felt,
induced by'a desire for tho public
good; we we're blind TO, even il we had
bssn posseased'of, personal feeling in
The matter. and trust, that in all of
our intercourse with our readers. We
may have the moralHtamina to occu.
py as broad and unsslfsh grounds, as
we feel that We have in this. We shall
from time to time, as the necessity Of
the case appears more or less real,
continue to revert to this subj and
as did We last week, so may we al.
ways be expected to advocate three,
or more, distinct and separate grades
through which each child she'll 'pess.

the highest, nstsubsct ito sny 'dei'sc-
ton from that stipulated course, by
either the desire 'of the parent, or the
willingness Of the teacher. Until our
citizens are educated up to the accep-
lance OF this, as the proper method,
they are but clinging to an absolete
custom Of the past, and have stll TO
learn, that IN school matters, they ere

Pure Air a Vital Necessity.

There are few bedrooms in which it is perfectly safe to pass the night with out something more than ordinary pre- cautions to secure an inflow of fresh air. Every sleeping apartment should, of course, have fireplace, with an open chimney, and in cold weather it is we'll if the grate contains small fire, at least enough to create an upcast CIT rent and carry off the vitiated air of the room Summer and winter, with or without the use of fires, it is well to have free ingress for pule air. This should be the ventilator's first concern. Foul air will find an exit if pure air is admitted in sufficient quantity, but it is not certain pure air will be drawn in if the impure air is drawn away. So far as sleeping rooms are concerned, 1t is wise to let in air from without. The aim must be to accomplish the ob- ject without causing 8 great fall of temperature or draught. The win dows may be drawn down an inch or two at the top with advantage. and a fold of muslin will form @ ventilator to take off the feeling of draught. This, with an open fireplace, will gen. orally suffice, and produce no unpleas- ant consequences even when the weather is very cold. It is, however, essentia that the air outside should be pure. Little is likely to be- gained by letting in fop or mist.

A Man of Nerve.

A thrilling accident occurred at the American Iron Works, in Pittsburg. While Robert Moore was at work at his rolls his catcher failed to seize with his tongs bar of white hot iron which had been placed between the rolls. The iron twisted itself thrice around the roll, forming "collar." The catcher struck the iron, when there flew off a piece in the shape of ring, with a stem twenty inches long running off at right angles to the circle. The band flew back and fell around Moore's head, resting on his shoulders. Quick as thought he grabbed the long stem with his toDgs and the white hot ring with his hand, and with steady nerve and gentle movement lifted the fiery thing from his shoulders.
