Superintendent Morgan, an abstract
Of whose IT port appears in another col
umn, makes many important recon-
mcndations, worthy Of the prompt ut
tentiou Of tho Legislature.
Among other things, he calls atten
ton TO the necessity for the pronlpI
payment OF teachers wages. This, ht
argues, would DO an inducement Il
qualified teachers to enter and remain
III the work Of teaching, and any failure
in prompt payment causes discourage
mpnt and discomfort and drives the
teacher out Of tho school room. lie
recommends an amendment to the law
TO the iulallmont Of It's intention, by the
imposition Of proper penalties upon tht
Sheriff for not endorsing the teachers
order for his salary each month. II
appeais that the sheritlS Of many Coun'
Ties require the teachers TO walt months
before receiving their salaries, and they
are often obliged to discount their or
dpis on the ShehlTS in order to gCt
money TO live upon. Its notrlght that

AN INTERESTING LECTURE.

The opening entertainment in the
Y. M. c. A. members course was a
lecture on Monday evening by Rev
Josiah Tyler of Natal, South Africa
The lecturer gave an intelligent de-
scription of Natal and an interesting
account of the Zulus, their curious
marriage and funeral rites, their Ian
guage and their religion. Not the
least entertaining part of the lecture
was the many stories of the wild ami
mails and poisonous serpents of that
part of the world. 1t was a lecture
that was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

MR.. HORR'S LECTURE.

Ex-Congressman r. G. Horn APP
peared for the second season in our
lecture course Tuesday evening and,
after being introduced by Charles T.
Walter, entertained his audience up
on the theme, Are the balloons our
cousins? No Sir" The lecture was
a refutation of the Darwinian theory
of evolution and the witty Michigan
orator presented some strong argu-
ments for his side. Interspersed with
his argument were many good stories
and lots of good. sensible advice.
Mr. Horn leaves his audience with
something to think about and both
his lectures have been meaty and en-
joyable.
