AS the schools are nearing the close

ale no doubt wondering who will be
the teacher for next year. l am Of
the opinion that one of the great draw
backs on our school system is the fire.
quent change of teachers, caused by
the complaint of those who are fail
ures at their own business; yet they
can run a school and know all about
the development of the human intel
lect. Recently | had a complaint
made to me as follows, we want you
to teach our school next year, why so?
why that fellow we have is no ac-
count Where in the h he get
his education, the d fool teaches
the children to peT1u1lce Newfound-
land, Nu-fund-land." Now, my dear
sir, it depends entirely on which the
teacher takes for authority, if every
teacher in the county is not making
the same mistake certainly teach
er ought to know more about running
a school than any one else in the dis
trict, and teaching as systematic ed
ucation must be based upon the laws
of growth, both of the single faculty
and of the succession of faculties that
constitute the intellect.
Stick to your teacher and if he has
done good work employ him fo- next
year. NERO.

Departed This Life,

At her home in Gerardstown, Thurs.
day morning, Miss Nellie Bowers, daugh.
ter of John s. Bowers, decd, and sister
of our townsman, Mr.. Geo. N. Bowers.
She has been in delicate health for sever
al years, everything being done for her
relief that money and kind friends could
do. Her suffering affected her mind at
last, and she was placed in the Mt. Hope
Hospital, where her condition became
improved, and she was brought home
again, only to return to that long home
where suffering in the mind or body is
unknown. She had everything in life
that could be wished for, but the high
est gift of nature and greatest blessing
of the Creator, -health,- was wanting
To the suffering and sorrowful,-and
who has not tasted the cup of pain, her
life and death appeal for sympathy and
regret. The friends and relatives are
not alone in their sorrow. Every feel
ing heart beats with sympathy. Her
funeral took place yesterday. Her lot
on earth was suffering. Heaven is filled
with those who suffered.

The two new pastors have been in
our midst, viz. Rev. Hughes, of the

When reports come to our ears that
are detrimental to the cause, we
should turn away from them, for
there is always some satanical work
being carried on that is an injury to
all. ALPHA

Some of our young men who kiss

miles in the dark, through mud and

often envy their girl, who they sup

minutes after they leave her residence.
They don't know that she must first
fish seventy-nine hair pins out of her
head, one at time, and twist her hair
up into small pieces of paper, so that

that they are in bed snoring before
she blows out the light; If they were

would leave earlier. MAURICE.
