THE sCnooLMA' ANS.
Dear Editor: A sore aff1ictioA t:as
been upon us for week back. The
.:schoolmarm,' with all her known
and peculi:,r characteristics, has beer,
, and gone. About twenty-five OF the
delightful creatures. short and tall,
old and young (no. they were all
young!) graced our streets each day
during whole week institute. and
e vet we live to record even greater
wonders than these: Prof. Gray is t"
$ he CONGRATULATED on having endured
3 the TRYING ordeal and came out whole,
for one might as we'll he in stam-
psde of wild horses rs in the presence
of 4 lot of schoolma: ans turned loose.
Nv first observation is that those
; present sustain by evidence that IS
unimpeachable, their Worldwide rep
. utation for mortal uSliness. Never
theless we were all mighty glal to see
: them, as '.variety is the spice OF life,
: and when each hus a ttleinstitute OF
her own to supcrintend. VIC shal!

that it is possible to attain. Sch"ol-

women, area sort OF necessary eHll'

The common school is one OF those
institutions that is invaluable Tor lts
commonness, and whose utility and
value depend upon the ability, the
fidelity and the loyalt! Of those who
preside ovsr it. Our dearest interests
are in your keeping, my fascinating
schoolma' M, and from this fact you
may know. approximately at least
the very kindly feeling we have 1or
you, for s'where our treasure IS thc1e
our,heart is ALSO 70 YOU our 1at:'-
ers and mothers (.rid SONS are looking
with anxious eye. Upon you the 1"-
ture glory, sranduer and character OF
our country, or its shame, its disgrace
and it's ruin depends. Therefore,
wieller, of the ta'narsck and jack
pine, of the birch and hickory, bast-
ers Of our youth, restrainers OF onr
liberties; look to it that no "pportu-
nity for better fitting yourself for the
work in hand. We cannot attach to
much Importance to the subject OF
educatiop. It is III, essential in our
government, and the nearer our teach
ers and our schools approach the true
ideal, just that much nearer will our
society and our government approach
such an ideal.
We beg pardon for all the truths
we have uttered against you. We
owe the whole profession agrudge,
and never expect to get even until
one of your great army has been in
