TwIxr THE Cur AND TUE L1p.-
Glasgow has just been compelled to
illustrate the proverb that there's :
many a slip 'twixt the cup and the.
lip" 1t was well known that Mr.
John Bell, of Northpark, intended to
leave his valuable collection of paint
ings and the building in which they
were deposited to the Corporation, in
trust for the citizens Among the
works he possessed were examples
by Titan, Guido, Claude, Poussip,
MurilIo, Gerard Douw, Rembrandt,
and Rubens, besides later masters.
For Titian's "Ariadne" Mr.. Bell
gave 93, 700, and the collection is sup
posed to have cost 100000. But,
unfortunately for Glasgow, Mr. Bells
will was written in pencil and was
without signature. The ambition OF
his life has consequently been frus-
trated, for the Town Clerk has advis-
ed the Corporation that they possess
no claim to the property. The pic
lures will be sold next week.-Archi-

Cooperation in School Work.

Upon the opening of the fall season and
the near approach of cool weather follows in
rapid succession that of nearly all institutions
of learning, both public and private.
We would call particular attention to the
opening of our own public schools and the
duty of patrons in the premises. The rela-
ton patron and teacher is reciprocal one
and we need expect little good to result I'M
less il is faithfully carried out on the part of
each. Apart from the moral prompting in
every mans bosom honestly to perform his
part OF contract and the many checks
placed by law upon negligence and official
misconduct the public school teachers are so
carefully watched by the officials over them
there is little chance for protracted ineffi-
cheney on their part. But II teacher, howev-
er able, can no more train up good scholars
without the right class of children and the
cooperation of their parents than sklfful
builder can erect IL stately edifice from un
suitable material
There is but little encouragement orindeed
good for teacher to labor with pupi one
several days following. Parents should be as
careful and Jealous in keeping their children
regularly and punctually in school as they
are to provide for them food and clothing.
Our schools are now divided into classes as
distinct and well defined ms those in any col
lcge, and full years work laid down for
each class, with Il prospect of promotion at
the end of the year resting exclusively on the
pupils merits us shown by his examination
II falls very hard on the child who has at.
tended but poorly throughout the year to see
his less able classmnle promol d while he must
review his years work the following one
simply because he was no, sent regularly to
his work
Those who need the services of their chill.
dren MS soon rs they are large enough TO
work should remember that their labor is of
but little value while small, and that that is
the time TO keep them in school and let them
plant those germs of common school cdu.
cation which they may Of themselves develop
i'll malurcr years.
Who will attempt to foretcll the good re-
suits If the whole of II community, teacher,
trustees and patrons, should unitedly do their
duty to build up their school? And yet it
is this very need Of thorough and united sup
port that crippIcs so many schools and throws
the blame where it least belongs
Let the patrons and trustees do their part
towards making our public schools improve
even much more the coming year than they
