So far as figures can represent the progress
of the year, it may be gathered from the fol-
lowing statements; net increase of twenty
six in the number of missionaries; a gain of
twenty. three churches, ana an addition of
LOO members on profession of faith; an in
crease of eighty in the number Of native pas
tors and preachers an addition of seventeen
high schools and seminaries of different grades,
and of 1000 in them; besides 1900 more pu-
pills in common schools. Nor should we
omit in this summary the efforts of the ma
tive Christians to help themselves, as ex-
pressed by funds raised and expended for
their own schools churches, and religious lit
erature.
to the amount the past year Of over $4,000.
But figures can give no just conception of the
leavening processes effected by the agencies
thus detailed, or by the circulation of over
thirty millions of pages of educational and re
igious literature by the personal labors of
over one hundred women specially devoted to
the welfare of their sex in schools and in the
homes of the people, or by the example of the

Place all Agreements in Writing.

We wish that the teachers of
the county would read the fol-
lowing carefully and then make it
point to specially impress its truths
upon the pupils of the school under
their charge. Our duty to our pupils
does not end with simply teaching the
things that are found in the text
books used in the school, but we
should teach them III those things not
found in books, as far as we can, that
will make them better business men
and women, and better fitted to bear
their various parts in the grand dra-
ma of life:
How many Misunderstanding arise
from the loose way in which business
matters are talked over, and then
when each party puts his own con-
struction on the conversation, the
matter is dismissed by each with the
words ''all right, all right" FIRE.
quently it turns out all wrong, and be-
comes question for the lawyers and
the courts. More than three fourths
of the litigation of the country would
be saved, ii people would put down
their agreements in writing, and sign
their names to it. Each word in our
language has its own peculiar mean
ing, and memory may, by the change
of its position in sentence, convey
an entirely different idea from that

G, ideas are fixed, and expen-

have sat down on a hornet s
nest, knowingly too, and then called
upon your precious head the maledic-
lions of all members of our profession.
AS you appear SO anxious for informa-
ton on this particular subject,
would ask you to consider both sides
of the question before going any fur
Their.
We notice first that you take as your
standpoint the highest wages paid to
teachers and the lQwest paid to farm
hands, for here in Northern Ohio Il
good hand can command the wages
you name, even In the winter. If you
would take the lowest wages paid to
teachers and the highest paid to farm
hands you would find the case consid-
erably changed. Teachers and farm
hands are like everything else; a good
article commands 2 good price.
You say that teachers spend their
time in ease and comfort. You are
mistaken, my friend, for the true
teacher labors as earnestly aud faith
fully as farm hand, and his work is
as fatiguing as any farm work. ]
have labored both as farm hand and
teacher and know whereof / speak.
You speak as il arithmetic, reading,
spelling and writing were not taught
at all. If you will examine the work
ings OF our country schools, you will
find that those are the branches that
receive the most attention; and if the
scholar has no use for any studies but
these four, of what use are our high
schools, seminaries and colleges Of
what usa arb our circulating libraries,
almost every volume of which pre-
sents some historical fact.
If your theory is correct, what mil
lions of dollars are worse than wasted
| in acquiring good educations. What
millions might be saved that are now
spent for books on these subjects that
| you consider go useless What thous-
ands and hundreds of thousands of
dollars the physicians would get that
the knowledge of a few simple physio-
| logical rules might save.
What would be the condition of our
| country if nothing but those four
| branches were taught four genera
tions and the scholars were to be de-
priyed OF all other studies!
If a man wishes to attain to emf
nence in any vocation in life, he must
have some knowledge of those branch.
es which you say are of no practical
use. From the President of the Unit.
ed States down, you Will find that
those who occupy positions of tie
/ widest influence and usefulness are
generally those who have had thor
ough practical training in these
branches of which you speak so con.
temptously.
There is one thing essential to sue
/ cess in life. A cultured mind, well
stored with general information and
trained TO careful thinking. This can
only be obtained by years of thorough,
systematic study, either at home OF
at some institution of learning, which
is much better. In regard 10 the pay
of teachers and farm hands, of which
I have spoken, If you take into con.
sideration the responsibility each one
bears, you will find that the teacher
| receives no more than the laboreT,

other public officers, il paid by taxa

paid, receives the least wages of them
