who did the poisoning, and it is
hoped that he viii speedily be
brought to justice. He might be a
dog himself some day.

Though experimenting when
carried to excess may become
disgustful, there is no doubt that a
moderate amount is frequently bene-
fetal. Our own experience teaches
us many things, but there is always
lack which must be supplied by
the experience of others.
In every business that men follow
much has been learned by cenferring
one with another with regard to
methods employed in certain branch
es of their industry. School teach
ing is no exception. These teachers
who most carefully confer with one
another, and compare their work
and their methods of procedure
advance most rapidly toward per-
lection. Now, since it is impossible
! for many of us to hold oral confer
ences during the year, will not ssy-
eral or many turn scribe sufficiently
long to prepare communication for
the DEMOCRAT, and impart to us
some Of their ideas?
Ny own experience teaches me
that if a pupil is unable to articulte
distinctly and forcibly, he will make
more rapid progress if drilled upon
the elementary sounds than if al
lowed to neglect that for a drill upon
the pronunciation of entire words.
For instance, if child says =" tat
for cat" he should be shown how
to place the organs Of speech in
order to make the sound here repre-
scented by c, and drilled until he can
I produce the sound well, after which
he should be taught how to combine
il with the rest of the word. In like
manner every sound that is difficult
for pupil should be practiced until
he becomes master of it, and then
\ he will be able to combine it with
others to form words. S.

There have been ten cases of tar
ness in the High School Of this city
during the first two months of the
present term. The number of pupils
enrolled is seventy. Of these ten
cases, seven have been occasioned by
members of two families.
The percentage Of attendance dur
ing the same time, based upon the
actual membership, is SO.
While these figures indicate moth
ing specially praiseworthy, they are
gratifying when compared with an
equal period in most previous years;
and if as good ones can be secured
for eveIy similar period through the
remainder of the present year, it will
be safe to mark this as the best year
in the history Of the school, so far as
punctuality and regularity are con
cerned.
