fidence and respect of all who are
interested in the public school, sys-

the Board of Education is matter
that should receive more attention
than has been given it in the past.
Men should be selected who have
the ability to discharge the duties of
the position, and whose sympathies
are known to be entirely in the In
terests of the public schools. 1t is u
known fact that some Of our people
are opposed to this system OF schools,
and heretofore men of that class
have frequently occupied positions
in the boards of our county, greatly
to the detriment of the public good.
Again, in some instances, men who
lack ability have been placed upon
the boards, aud they are frequently
led by enemies OF the institution, or
in other words, they become the fac
totum OF other parties and override
that which would be done by better
men. 1t is to be hoped that our peo-

In this locality we have had an
abundance of winter, with the

for one hundred and twenty con-

we had sleighing for fifty-three

Seventy-six inches of snow fell

more. Well what Is to be, will
be, especially, with a little help.

The schools of this (Gerardstownl
District, are about closing for the
year the teachers appear to have
given general satisfaction, or at least
as much so as can be expected from
those who have all classes of persons
to please. 1t appears to be the de-
sire of the teachers generally to
make the public school system a sue
cess. They desire not only to ad.
vance the rising generation in the
elementary branches as rapidly as
possible, but to instil into their
minds the Importance of other mat
tiers upon which depends their sue
cess in life, to a very great extent.
Good manners, true peliteness, and
a proper degree of sociability, are
very essential elements, and assist
greatly in making up characters that
will be able to pass through life
pleasantly to themselves and those
| around them, or at least, mach more
so than they could were they not in
possession of these qualities. We
are sorry to know that there are ma
ny parents, and some too who know
the Importance OF early training in
that direction, yet they let it pass
entirely neglected. Little acts of
rudeness are frequently entered to
the credit of shrewdness, and mat
tiers that should be corrected, are
passed over on account of youthful
ness ; they loose sight of the old and
true maxim, that as the twig is bent
the tree inclines. They also lose
sight of the fact, that chastisement.
though it may be a cross, is no less a
duty, the performance of which
might result in years of pleasure TO
the parents, and profit to the child.
The stranger, on the highway meets
child, its features are not hand
some, its clothes give evidence of
poverty, yet there is in that gentle
good morning, SIR" and general
demeanor, that tells him at once
that it is the possessor of something
more valuable than fine features and
fine clothes, namely, good breeding.
The behavior of the child awakens
lively interest in his bosom, and he
inquiries to know whose child it is,
and although the parents may be un-
known TO him, yet respect for them
implants itself then and there, in
consequence of the training given
the child. Unfortunately there are
so many persons who do not consid-
er the Importance of this matter:
their minds are engrossed with the
all-absorbing question how shall /
make fortune of gold and silver to
leave TO my children when am done
with earth and earthly things ?
They never think of putting the
question in this way: how shall / be
able to leave the world a fortune in
the shape of an honored citizens, or
naments in society, and pillars in
the institutions of our country ? If
the latter proposition was the theme
of all, this world would be a much
better one.
