A school teacher in one of our neigh
boring towns requires the pupils to
place upon the blackboard each day a
synorsis of the most important news
contained in the papers of the prece ed.
ing day. This is a splendid idea and
could be introduced with advantage in
all schools. We will wager that the
teacher who does this will turn out
more intelligent men and women in a
year than the average text book mongel
will in generation. The fact is being
rapidly recognized that the news papers
are the popular educators of the day.
