THE NEW YORK SUN.

About sixty million copies of The Sun have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the columns
of all THE SUNS printed and sold last year you
would get continuous strip of interesting in
formation, common sense wisdom, sound doc
trine, and sane wit long enough to reach from
Printing House square to the top of Mount Copper
nicus in the moon, then back to Printing House
square, and then three-quarters of the way back
to the moon again.
But The Sun is written for the inhabitants of
the earth this same strip of intelligence would
giTdle the globe twenty-seven or twenty-eight
times.
If every buyer of copy of THE Sun during the
past year has spent only one hour over it. and if
his wife his grandfather has spent another
hour, this newspaper in 1883 has afforded the hu-
man race thirteen thousand years of steady read
ing night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation of the
most popular of American newspapers, or of its
influence on the opinions and actions of Ameri-
can men and women.
TIE Sun is and viii continue TO be, a newspa-
per which tells the truth without fear of conse-
quences, which gets at the facts no matter how
me process costs, winch presents the news
OF all the world without waste of words and in
the most readable shape, which is working with
all its heart for the cause of honest government,
and which therefore believes that the Republican
party must go, and must go IN this coming year
of our Lord, 1884.
If you know The Sun, you like it already, and
you viii read 1t with accustomed diligence and
profit during what is to be the most interest
ing year IL its history. If you do not yet know
The sun 1t is high time to get INTO the sunshine.

COMMUNICATED.

THE following is summary of the
work done at the teacherB' meeting held
in Meme, November 10th, and the
names of those who were present: Thos.
Hogan, Martin McMahon, Mary Maloney
Julia Hayes, Nellie Hayes. Jos. Peppard.
Sarah Peppard, Bat Hayes, ]. P. Con
nell. j. P. Cody, Maggie Cody. Maggie
Peppard, Bridget Taugher, Bridget Nor
ris, County Superintendent.
The meeting was called to order at
1890 A. NJ, by Mr.. Hogan, and after a
few preliminary remarks the order of the
programme was carried out.
The first topic was pronunciation, by
Martin Mcmahon; who dwelt particular
ly upon vowels in unaccented syllables.
Several discussions arose, one in which
we became particularly interested. THE
ACCESSIBILITY of teaching phonics to chill
dren IN the primary department. Some
advocating that it should be excluded
entirely; others maintaining that the
more regular sounds should be taught,
and still others that it might be used
almost exclusively. The question was
finally decided by the Superintendent,
who stated that it was very important il
voice culture and should be carefully
tended.
1t being II o'clock N. an intermissiop
of an hour and a half was taken, in which
time have no doubt but all used adyan-
tageously.
Decimal fractions were taken by j. 2.
Connell, his object being to show that
decimals are simply common fractions III
another form,-that the rules governing
decimals are analogous to those of COM
mon fractions.
The County Superintendent took in
hand the subject of Primary Grammar.
The pith of his argument went to show
bow it may be taught, the advantages
derived therefrom, the fallacy of using
text books and the necessity of q
thorough understanding of the part be-
ing presented by teacher to his class.
A paper by Miss Maloney on object
teaching was listened to with great inter
est.
Judiciary was presented by Mr.. Hogan,
and conducted in such manner as to
call forth some of our deepest thoughts.
The zealousness in which the teachers
entered into the discussion of this topic
made it both interesting and amusing.
The best but not the least of our exer
cises was list of 25 words by Mr.. Cody
We doubt not that if Horace Greeley
had been presented with this list it would
have been a severe test on his ortho
graphical ability. Miss Maloney bears
off the "palm, missing but eight.

The Boston schools are going to have
practical industrial education. There
are to be two grades,-the kind of work
done at a bench, and thati in which steam
power is used. Twenty boys can receive
training at one time, and each class re-
ceives two hours instruction per week,
thus accommodating 200 in all. The
cost is estimated at 81, $50 per year.

OSHKOSH was visited by terrible fire
OIL Thursday last, by which $50, 900 worth
of property was destroyed. The fire
started at mill and the principal loss is
that of lumber, one man losing $40, 1000.
The wind was blowing quite strongly and
the fire ragged with such violence that it
was thought the city was doomed. En-
gines came to the assistance of the home
fire department from Milwaukee, Fond
du Lac and Ripon. Contrary to expec-
tations the fire was subdued and the city
saved.
