schools is too literal some teachers de-
pending entirely upon the textbooks
Some bright, faithful teachers have
had their work much restricted from
this cause. The remedy is not easy to
suggest. Versatility and good schol--
arship are not usually found together
The power of, and tendency TO concen-
tration of thought which makes the
scholars, often manifests itself in cling
ing SO literally to the fact learned, as
to shut out all comprehension Of its
laterals relatives to other facts, or con-
ditions The light thrown upon the
mental vision is SO intense that all else
is thrown into the shadow by it. The
fact stated is so clear to the teachers
mind that he does not see why it should
not be equally SO TO scholar. 1t does
not occur to the teacher that it is nee
essaly to appeal to the child's reason,
or perception by illustra-
tion Or suggestion.
Taken as whole, the common
schools have not made progress COM
mensurate with the progress of the age.
In some respects, the matter of visiting
and, as q whole the maintenance of
ortter--therc has been an Improvement.
There are less disgraceful outbursts of
rebellion against the teachers authority
and less terms of school broken up bv
such riots. There is an improvement
in the willingness to appropriate mon
ey tor the support of schools and less
illiteraey among the native population,
but considering all things and partic-
ularly the lack of thoroughness in ru-
instruction in the English
language, it is doubtful whether the
schools have more than held their own.
What they shall be, depends upon the
fidelity Of parents, teachers, scholars,
and trustees each in his proper place.
1t remains for the present generation
to say whether the fame of liberty fed
by the intelligence, patriotism and vir-
tue of the people, shall continue to be
the Signal Light of the ages. w.

PUBLIC LINDS.

Our people ask for country land
And many millions strong,
Make up that urgoht mighty band
Who say there's omething wrong
They claim the right to work and live
In this their native home,
But law assumed by choice doth give
To few that others room.
The title deeds have not been given
by him who lives above,
But By conquest hath been rlven
Not by truth and love.
Millions are driven to cities great
To live in want and woe,
And pay to live In leased estate
Where love can meyer grow.
The murmuring brook to them Is hushed
And gurgling of the rill,
And natures mnslc all Is crushed
BY Mammoas iron will
win God create Samson strong
To lead this mighty band.
This mighty host so great with song)
To till their native land!
God bless the poor In every land
And families preserve,
Deliver them from tyrants hand
of tyrants In reserve.
May men OF science be our priests
And justice lead our choir,
May equal rights be our great feasts
To this may we aspire.
