A minister In one of our orthodox
churches, while on his way TO preach o
funeral sermon in the country, called on
one OF bis memb bers, au old lady, who
bad gust been making saltsages, and as
che felt very proud of them insisted on
the minister taking some of the links
home 70 his family. After wrapping the
6ausages In cloth the minister carefully
placed the bundle in the pocket of his
great coat. Thus equipped be started for
the HlnenL While attending the solemn
ceremonies at the grave some hungry
dogs scented the sausages, and were not
long in tracking them to the pocket of
the good mans oyercoat. OF course this
was a great annoyance, and he was sey.
eral times under the necessity of kicking
the whelps away. The obsequics at the
grave completed, the minister and the
congregation repaired 70 church, where
the funeral discourse was to be preached.
After tho sermon was finished the minis.
ter halted 10 make some remarks TO the
congregation, when brother, who wish
ed to have sn appointment given out,
ascended the stairs of the pulpit and
gave the minister's coat hitch to get his
attention. The divine, thinking ii dog
having designs upon bis pocket, raised
his foot, gave sudden kick, and sent the
good brother sprawing down the steps.
"4on will please excuse me, brethren
and sisters" said the minister, confused.

TIME FOR COUNTY HoRMAL.

Before fixing the time for tho County
Normal, the Board of Examiners would
like to have m expression of opinion
from the teachers and as many of the
Trustees as feel enough interest in the
matter to have an opinion. What time
would suit the teachers best? How
would the first two weeks in September
do? That tins has been suggested by a
teacher who thinks that the children
will then be most needed in the crops.
We will request the Board not to fix the
time until we can hear from the teachers.
We do hope the teachers and trustees
will drop US o card at once so that tho
Board may be.guided by the opinion of
the majority.

BETTER TEACHERS.

All along the iine there is q general
awakening on the subject of education.
The cry is for better teachers. Educa.
tors are beginning to realize that the reg.
ular examinations of teachers by the
County Boards, while they do some good,
do not accomplish all that 10 intended OF
desired. They reveal, in many cases, q
fearful ignorance of what Is expected to
be taught, but take no active steps to.
ward the improvement of tho condition
of the unfortunate applicant for Grade
Certificate. Realizing this, the leading
thinkers have suggested the State aud
County Normals as the best remedy for
the evil. Thessla,e Normal has accom-.
pitched much good, but 1t doesn't seem
to reach that class of teachers for whose
special benefit 1t waa intended, The
teachers in the public schools in the
country are those who need 1t most. To
make . long matt. short, they are, as q
class, too poor to attend the State Nor.
NAL if held outside their own County.
County Normals have been introduced
that every teacher, however poor or how.
eser backward he may be, may get the
benefit of snch instruction. It ia found
that very large per cent. of tho teach.
ers attending the State Normal hereto
fore, were principals sofs High Schools
and Academies in the towns aud villagea
OF the State. Let our County Normal
and County Teachers' Association have
the sympathy and encouragement and
cooperation of all our citizens. Those
who are not teachers themselves are Ger.
tainly interested In the cause sufficiently
TO encourage every effort, or enterprise,
that lonks to the furtherance Of that
cause Let our teachers all make their
arrangements TO attend the County Nor.
NAL. With n little extra effort, the poor.
est can do II. just when it will be held,
We are not now able to say. The Board
of Examiners will meet next week when
that question viii be settled. AS for
ourselyes, we have thought It best to
postpone it5unlii some time In August.

ten years, turned out more successful and
prominent College graduates than An.
