at the school-house In North Tunbridge. The
house was we'll filed, and many practical ideas
for the advancement Of schools were bro ght
forth. The principal discussion was upon
"Wbat shall We read ?" 1t was said that we
read too much and think too little; that We
should read only the best. Suit the reading OF
the child to its wants Give 1t plenty of good
literature to read and 1t will not find time to
read trash Many read much ard then forget
what they have read. The Police Gazette,
dime novels, and sensational urDals q lould
be kept from the children. They had better be
suppressed and kept out OF the mails. Other
interesting topics were discussed and the
thoughts brought forward prove that some of
our people at least have given much thought to
educational subjects OF late. -. DR.. 4 J Fish
