Change our views as TO Tie best methods of

We should give il our earnest thoughts aud
undivided attention. We should have a due
appreciation of the nature of te ching 20

ed Efforts we should reduce 10 a system aud
should Oe wiling learners as to the bOIe this

castles to imagine our work In perfect
condition but by comparison Of ideas and
consulting men Uf education, we NAV come

teaching is energy. This, with originality
and scholarship, cannot fail To make teach

aud Morse that gave success to enterprises

WHEN ne " drama has proved success
fui 1t Is customary for the audience to call
the author before the cHrtaIn. They have
a curiosity to see what sort of man it is that
created tue play that has amused and in
structed them There is something very
much like this in regard to our great ne VS.
papers their editorial utterances are all
anonymous, but there Is genera lily a tradition
OF some halt shadowy peEsouage who has
established the journal, given It ito charac-
ter, aud constantly directs It and the pub
lie Ike To have hIm come before the curtain
now and tnen, to address them in his own
person. This Murat Halstead has done iu
the March number of the North American
ReUiet9 to which be contributes all article
on The Revival Of SectiOnalism. -" In the
same number ATchdeacOn Earrar prese nts
his views on Future Retribution, " and
Prot \. h. Davis discusses The Moral
Aspects of StVisectlUn i" in a way that
brings together briefly nearly everything
that any person of note has said on the sub
iect- Max Muller describes the astonishing
IDEAS OF The Budhists on the subject of Char
ity, and George John Romanes opens up a
great subject with an article on Mind in
Men and Animals. " The other articles are
one by President Gillman on Titles Cchiefly
schoiastic), one by Judge John A Jameson
on Speculation IN Politics, " and one by
John w. johnson on Railway Land

SOOTHING SYRUP.-The yearning affec-
tion of the Republicans in this place for
each other may sometimes be obscured as
was the case last spring when some of them
thought that Mr.. Barker had been tried and
found wanting as burgess about often
enough and voted for Mr.. Gutwald. which
resulted in Mr.. BarkeT's defeat Rut al
though last Tuesdays election found Mr.
Bark eT still tConttno, and the kickers as anx-
louS TO Kick If they dared, Mr.. Barker was
able to be out and have an eve on the par
ties who so uPmercifuIly kicked him last
spIiD9-and the kickers didn't kick The
prOdIgalS concluded 1t would be q good time
to return, Mr. Barker was elected by the
usual Republican vote, and although he may
not feel as kindly to the returning kickers
as surface indications seem to show, still he
will have no hesitation in setting up the
veil.
