LANGUAGE LESSONS,

Which was replete with valuable sug-
eestions. Grammar, tech1ical grammar
is taught too much in the schools-too
much after it is begun. Language is an
arbitrary art, and few rules can be4given
of practical .suse. Language lessons
should begin in the nursery. to be inur
tured and blossom in the primary-room.
and receive careful attentson through
out school life. Correct improper forms
of expression at all times IN your con.
verse with your pupils and in class
work. Begin always with the i1tle
.ones--start them right; wat not forsin.
Astruction 10 the nse of languages until
the grammar.roomis reached. DO sway
with technical terms so far &C possible.
giving all your werk on gssmmar a
practical tarn. Bear in mind that
grammar is only useful as it leads.to
good expression in conversation and
writing.

In the construction of the road it was

and when the Company replaced the
walk it was laid along the cut. During
this Winter and Spring the sides of
the cut have caved off, covering the

The Salvation Army, in their long
parades about town every evening,
during which they make all manner
of racket, are carrying things a little
too far. When they first came here
they held short open air meetings in
front of the Court House, to which no
one objected, but their open air meet
ings have day by day increased, aud
now they spend from half to three
quarters of all hour each evening
marching up and down the principal
streets, singing siscOrdant music to the
time of three or four drums. Aside
from the-noise they make, they have
the audacity to occupy the whole walk
and people who meet them must either
step off the walk or be rudely showed
off. Their action on the street is an
outrage that should be prohibited.
