Hit or Miss.

Ever since this paper has been pub
lished an earnest endeavor has been
made upon our part to truly and
f ithfulIy express the predominating
sentiment Of the colored people Of the
State, cleaned through our special
and private representatives through
out the State. From our close con-
tact with the people, we have been
able to get from them their feelings
upon all things which touched their
interest; consequently we have spoken
boldly and freely against the political
and other abuses with which the
people have been afflicted We have
not made vast array of friends
among our Anglo saxon brethren by
doing this, and we have been cen
sured and unfavoraGly criticised by
chicken. hearted colored men, who
have resorted to the other city papers
to strike at US under assumed names,
when we have truthfu,ly reflected the
sentiment of all men who are liberal
and sensible enough to place their
race above party. 1t is singul4: with
what asperity some colored men viii
assail others OF their own race, but in
the presence of one of tho opposite
race their manhood withers and their
backbone weakens. We do not
think the future Of the race should be
trusted in the hands of such men, or
do we think the mass Of our people
appreciate them. What is wanted is
tearlessness, true manhood, aud the
inc dinate belief thst nothing another
man enjoys is too good for O black
man. This is the course we have
chosen, and IS long as we live, sink
or swim, please or displease, hit OF
miss, we shall, while having a strict
regard for what is right ard just,
continue to pursue this course

IT is gratifying to know that the
colored people Of Philadelphia are
showing an appreciation for news
paper managed by colored men, and
devoted to the interest of the c0lored
people of that city. With the large
number of col ored people of intelli
gence that there is in Philadelphia,
the Independent of that city ought
to be given good support. They
have given strong support to
papers which devoted column to
colored circles. Now let them show
the same support to Messrs. Gardiner
and Minnee.
The Journal has also many friends
in the City of Brotherly Love, and
has from the start received much
support from her residents.

Mr.. EDITOR: Some time ago I no.
ticed in the Teachers Column an inquiry
from Miss Graham in regard to teaching
grammar, and remembering the pleasant
acquaintance formed with her at our
institute, would like to reply. We have
lately been trying what has proved to us
a ysry helpful exercise in studying gram
mar: perhaps she will also find it ser.
yiceable. During the section which we
devote to that study We have daily ex-
ercise for the entire school in language
study. Immediately after the opening
exercises certain pupils, appointed the
preceding day, furnish sentences, selected
from their reader or any other book they
ahoose: these all the pupils copy on
states and then proceed to analyze and
parse. We call on some of the smallest
pupils to select all the nouns or 1name-
words" in each sentence, and then have
those who are more advanced parse these
nouns also select verbs, their subject,
and, if transitiye, their object. We
usually underscore the verb and by a
curved line underneath connect with it.
the subject and object. In the same
manner link adjectiyes with the nouns
which they modify. Our smallest pnpils
take part in this exercise and all find it
interesting and improving, as is any ex.
ercise in which the whole school can
unite. Another way in which We some
times study grammar is from the reading
lesson; for instance, one day select and
parse nouns from the lesson, at another
time adjectives, verbs, &c. Most chill
dren look upon grammar as very dry
study, and we find that little exercises
such as these help to awaken an interest
in it. We have ever since the begin
ming of this term been using an excel
lent little book in language study for
children-Swinton's Language Primer.
Any teacher will find it useful for little
ones. It is written in very simple Ian
guage, and almost any child that has
completed second reader can take it up.
One attractive feature is the number of
nice slate exercises, which are always in.
teresting to the little ones.
