The Change in the Frog.

Nowhere in the animal kingdom is
there SO favorable an opportunity for
peeping into natures workshop. as in
the nietamorphoses of the frog. This
animal is Il worm when it comes from
the egg, and remains such the first
four days of it's life, having neither
eyes nor ears. nostrils nor respiratory
organs. 1t crawls. 1t breathes
through its skin. After a while Il
neck is grooved into the flesh. It's
soft lips are hardened into a horny
beak. The different organs, one after
another, bud out; then pair Of
branching gills, and last, a long and
timber tail. The worm has become a
fish. Three or four more days elapse,
and the gills sink back into the body,
while in their place others come, much
more complex, arranged i'll vascular
tufts, one hundred and twelve in each.
But they, too, have their day, and are
absorbed, together with their frame
work of bone and cartilage, to be sue
ceeded by an entirely different breath
ing apparatus, the initial of a second
correlated group of radical change.
Lungs are developed, the mouth wild
ened, the horny beak converted into
rows of teeth. the stomach, the abdo-
men, the intestines, prepared for the
reception of animal food instead of
vegetable; four limbs, fully equipped
with hip and shoulder bones. with
nerves and blood vessels, push out
through the skin, while the tail, being
now supplanted by them as means of
locomotlon, is carried away piecemeal
by the absorbents, ana the animal
passes the balance of It's days in an
air-breathing and fiesh-feeding ba-
trachian.-.Sel.

Course Of Study.

That there is strength in harmony of
action is just as true in school work
to-day as it was in other matters GEN.
turtles ago when uttered by Aesop in
his Fables. In taking a retrospective
glance over the worlds history we are
startled to behold that all the noted
achievements of time have been
brought about through the agency of
this one principle, viz, unity Of 40
ton, either of individuals, armies, or
of the mental faculties of the inven.
tive genius. The generals who have
won the decisive battles of the world
were successful because they were
able to marshal their troops in order,
and by consort of action to keep all
parts of their lines well strengthened.
The great financierS of all times have
been men who could view the many
parts of their monetary affairs-at a
single glance as a unit and who were
able to keep all parts at work so as to
produce the action of one harmonious
whole. The successful business man
is he who keeps a sharp eye on all
parts of his business, and by means OF
clear mind and steady hand per-
mits no part to run away with him,
but keeps each part at work in har-
mony with it's co-wnrkers.
Continuing our search we find this
general principle to be almost a uni
versal rule of action in all the active
pursuit of mankind.
But in educational affairs we find
very striking exception to the rule
above stated. Are we acting wisely
to make an exception to this apparent
Iy general principle in all other things
for our common schools for whose
support we annually pay about $45,-
600? 1t is my opinion that we are
not receiving as much in return for
the amount invested in the support of
our common schools as we have Just
reason to expect from them.
There is too much random hit-oT-
miss work being done in many of
them. The letter published by us
last week in which the writer sound
ly berated all system in the work Is a
fair illustration of one of the CHIEF
drawbacks to successful school work
being done in our district schools.
The writer fully expo ssed his utter
contempt for anything ike system in
his work and shows his hearty sympa
thy for aimless and confused efforts
on the part of the teacher.

The -Monopolists of the State of
New York recently met in convention
for the purpose of effecting State or
canization. The policy laid down by
the convention n not to make nomina-
tions until after the Republican and
Democratic nominations have been
made, and in case the old parties shall
enunciate the right principles and NOM
mate men who will in good faith labor
to carry them OUT. then no third ticket
is to be nominated by the antl-monopo-
lists: otherwise, they viii nominate
and endeavor to elect. We believe
that the anti-mon0polists are contend
inc in good faith for the ascendency
of principles which if adopted by the
American people would better their
condition. and it is merely question
Of time when those principles mist
prevail. if the people would maintain
their liberty.

TIE Republican split in the Third
district could be easily settled by the
