Philippa as saau her then-as Isee her noac.
Heavens! how fair she was! How glorious
her rich, dark beautyl How different from
the pink-white and yellow dolls whom Ihave
seen exalted as the types of perfection!
Warm Southern blood ran through her
veins and tinged her clear brown cheek
with color. Her mother was an English
woman; but it was Spain that gave her
daughter that exquisite grace, those Won
drous dark eyes and long, curled lashes, that
mass of soft black hair, that passionate,
imIu,sive nature, and perhaps that queen
like carriage and dignity. The English
mother may have given the girl many good
gifts, but her beauty came from the father,
whom she had never known; the Andalusian.
wl.o died while she was but child in arms.
Yet, in spite of her foreign grace, Philippa
was English Her Spanish origin was to
her but tradition. Her foot had never
touched her fathers native land. Its lam
guage was strange to her. She was born
in England, and her father, the nature of
whose occupation I have not been able to
ascertain, seems to have spent most of his
time in this country.
When did I learn to love her? Ask me,
rather, when did we first mects Even then,
as my eyes fell upon the girl, l knew, as by
revelation, that for me life and her love

Old people like it for its wonderful to

because it prevents them from getting bald,
keeps dandrutf away, and makes the hair
grow thick and strong. Young ladies like it
as a dressing because it gives the hair a beau

it in whatever form they wish. Thus it is the

Educational.

To the patrons OF the IrontOn Public School:
may remark that some of my recent COM
binations of classes may seem strange. A
few words will explain and enable you, no
doubt, to appreciate the situation. Last
year promoted grade from the Primary
Department to the intermediate, and one
from the intermediate Department to my
room. This grade consisted of four classes.
No classes left my room, and no promotions
could be made of course. The same thing
was done this year. Last year and this,
eight classes have been promoted to my room
without any falling off of grades. Hence
the combination of classes of unequal adj
vancement. 1 have met the Objectionable
feature of this, to some extent, by giving
those pupils of each class, whose advance
ment is greater than that of the other men,
bers Of the class, more recitations than the
less advanced.
1t is useless to say that parents interested
in the education of their children, will give
them the opportunity for study required on
the school programme. For the "A" class it
will not take more than one hour and a half
''home study" to prepare the work named;
for the "B" not more than one hour; for the
sc" less time. If We don't want our boys to
become night-loafers and our girls ''gad-
abouts" and gossipers, we must find some
evening employment for them. School work
will occupy only part of their evenings.
The reading of books, papers, &C., could be
made to occupy the remaining time. One of
the greatest curses school can have is for
its pupils, once or twice week, to collect
together as "party," social or otherwise,
and spend the evening IN romping or other
wise dissipating. Such diversions, which
the young people in many communities are
allowed to organize during the session OF
school, affect their ability to study at any
time, as does circus during its stay. The
party is the absorbing theme of thought and
conversation. The school, in consequences
thrown into the back ground. Let US give
our children recreation, for"all work and no
play" not only makes "Jack dull boy" in
tellectuaily, but physically worthless. If
the young people (school boys and girls)
must have sociables, let it be not more than
once month, and then on Friday night.
This may sound like dictation, but in my
Judgment 1t is simply saying what my posi-
ton justifies. JOHN B. SCOTT.

tai and written arithmetic, geography, gram
mar, history and algebra.
The time actually in school has run from
six hours and fifteen minutes to seven hours
and ten minutes in one day. Besides this
although the scholars have recesses the teach
er has none.
Your correspondent has read with great
pleasure, and he believes with profit to him
self, the excellent paper by Commissioner
Scott published in the REGISTER, and also
the notice of the District Teachers Institute
at Cape Girardeau. In regard to those meet
lngs two things seem to be true. The con-
test with ignorance and its consequent men,
tai and social Generalization is fearful
warfare in which recruits may go through
the manual of arms, the wheelings and fac
ings, and all the maneuvers of dress parade
without blunder, and yet it requires weari-
some marches, sleepless nights, and all the
sorrowful and terrible experiences of the
bivouack and battlefield to make real SOL
diers.
Your correspondent would not exchange
the lessons of his forty years. experience in
teaching for all that can be taught in Insti-
of Time. This arises from his relation to the
work of Education. He is not only on the
advance guard, but the forlorn hope in the
fight, position out of which those who usu-
ally run Institutes are careful to keep. But
still your correspondent regards District In
stitutes as his old neighbor, Esq. Brecken-
ridge, of Washington county, Pennsylvania,
did drinking whiskey. In making arrange
ments for his own funeral he ordered album
dance of whiskey for his wake. When he
was told that he would not drink any of it,
he replied that if he did not drink any him.

was mistaken In saying that MIR. Young
would teach the Ruddock school. They have
not yet obtained teacher, although several
have applied for the position.
The family of MIR. Stephen Bond, of the
Reed creek district, has suffered heavily late
ly by death. One daughter and two sons-in-
law having died within two weeks, and his
wife's health is very infirm.
