class is compelled to spell every word OF

"At one Of the teachers examinations

had never read a book on education, and
10 were not readers of any educational
journal. The county is fair representa-
tive of most others in the state. 1t is ev-
ident that some great Improvements
must be made before the teachers can
stand on an equal footing with members

Wisconsin must wake up, if this state
of things is at all general. But we do not
believe it is. Our correspondent must
have judged the whole state from his

We are inclined to the belief tn at the
correspondent, whoever he may be, has
told the truth nearer than the editor ap-
parently wishes to confess.
We shall canvass the matter closely in
our own countgs2d see if Pierce is TO be
included within that 'pent-up Utica" OF
whether the correspondent was right in
reference to the "whole state"
In the mean time let each teacher ques-
ton himself and others ON the point in
question. We are sure there is need OF
more professional reading

This popularity of the cats eyes is turned
70 account in a curious manner by the Chi

was travelling In China ho asked his attend
ant what time il was The man went 20 a
cat that was quietly basking IN the sun aud
examining its eyes told the able that il was
about two hours after noon. On being ques-
toned how he knew that he explained that
the pupils OF a cats eyes were largest in the
morning, and that they gradually grew
smaller as the light increased until they
reached their minimum at noon. that then
they began To widen again. until AZ night
they once more became large.
TT good able was filed with admiration
for the ingenuity of people who could use
cats as clocks But it must be admitted that
this way OF telling the time OF day is rather
a loose one, and could only be trusted in very
serene, clear weather, for temporary gloom
or the darkness of a storm would sadly de-
range the four footed clock and put il all
