An exchange tells the story OF boy
who was sent to market with sack full
of rabits lingering around town all day
came home at night without selling
rabbit. When asked by his mother why,
he said no one asked him what was in
the sack. How many merchants and
business meh are just like this little boy
They have plenty of goods for sale but
fail to tell the people what is in the sack
If you expect to sell goods in this age
you must either go around and tell the
people what you got, 'or take the shorter
method of explaining to them through
the channels conducted for that purpose.

State Superintendent Lane has sent
out circular asking information in re-
gard to the heroism displayed by school
teachers in trying to save their pupils
during the late blizzard. 1t is no doubt
very desirable to preserve accurate infor'
nation in regard to the incidents OF the
storm, particularly the loss of life and
the injuries to persons and property. AS
to the "heroism" part, there is likely to
be good deal of bunkum connected
with reports on the subject. OF course
every body understands that the teacher
is likely to be the only person in schoo
house who has reached mature years
and in the case of terrible storm OF 9TH
er disaster the safety of the little ones
may rest wholly OH the teachers nerve
and devotion and he or she must use al
possible means to secure it but this il
a plain duty, and duty only, and while
no Just commentator should be with
held for faithful performance of duty
there is no occasion to create heroes ol
heroines, and exceptin few rare instan
ces where the self sacrifice is especially
marked, il should not be done.-Biu

That the nature Of the book may he nm

about It's use in the Cincinnati schools:
THREE EDITIONS.
Tracy's "Physiology," edition OF 1886,
was put in our high.sclook by the proper
authorities. The edition of 1887 got in,
no one can tell how. It's, in our judg-
mcnt, bad book; unscientilic and demor-
alizing. A :hird edition 1888, is expected
soon. We hope for the sake Of the pub
lishers, firm of high standing; oil our
School Board, which is soroly perplexed
and of the youth in our schools, that it
will redeem, the work from the title 1t has
received OF the "intemperance textbook"
Great bodies move slowly, and the In
ion Boord of High Schools in this city is
great at least in this respect. At its meet
ing last week it devoted an hour TO The in-
temperance Textbook, and then deferred
action until the appearance of the new edi.
ton shortly to he issued. There are good
men in the Board, and sooner or later
Tracy's Physiology, or at least the intem-
perance part Of it, must so.
