There have been many departures
from our city since the 18th of August.
many of the young ladies and gentlemen
were called away to prepare to open
their schools. We wish them success in
teaching and hope they may not teach
for the small salary only, but that they
may have the interest of their race at
heart and do allin their power to elevate
it. Some of our young teachers do not
seem to care for anything in the way of
advancement, and if they can only paes
the examination they are satisfied.
May this selfishness fast die out and our
young teachers see the necessity Of
reading more on educational subjects;
then they will not have only a suficiency
OF knowledge to enable them to get q
school but to teach with credit to them
selves and their race.

Newspapers and Other People.

Sometimes an item will get into the
columns of the best regulated papers
that somebody will take exceptions to-.
This is not strange considering the
great diversity of minds to be reached.
It is so ordered by nature that few peo-
pie get through life without doing some
things that other people find fault with.
Newspapers, being conducted for the
most part by mortal me2, and read to
the same extent by persons now exist
ing on this mundane sphere, cOnse-
quently partake of the frailties OF
those who conduct them. 1t is not al
ways easy to guess with great accuracy
whom one may hit when
he throws a rock over a house,
even if the rock is thrown without
malice aforethought. But those who
feel aggrieved should not jump at the
conclusion when remark is made that
they can make apply to themselves that
it was made to apply to them. News
papers are not more anxious to pick up
quarrels with people, or make dis
paraging remarks about them, than are
individuals. The manner of news.
paper is but a reflection of the manner
of those responsible for what is in it in
their private capacities; and an allow
ance would be made them for
their words according to their
known characteristics, so it
should be done toward the paper
Those who take remarks as reflections
upon themselves, because OF certain cir
cumstances surrounding them, should
remember, too, that others outside those
environments will be like the men con-
Quoting the paper-they will not see
the application OF the remarks to the
aggrieved parties unless the latter call
their attention to them.

The Successful Farmer.

The successful farmer of the future,
says the Northwestern Farmer, will be
the we'll posted man. The time for
purely mechanical work in farming is
past Improved machines will do that
for him, and what he requires now is
intelligent skill to direct his forces.
The farmer is called upon for more gen.
eral knowledge, to be successful, than
almost any other business requires.
He must know when to buy and when
to sell every sort of grain, produce and
live stock as we'll as when and
what to plant. He must know some
thing of geology, and the principles Of
plant growth; he must have some
knowledge of physics and the veterin-
arian's art, in fact there is nothing in
the range of knowledge that comes
amiss to a practical and successful
farmer, while in the business and manu-.
featuring world every branch of bust
ness is being divided up so that one
mechanic never learns more than to
make the hands of q watch, another the
wheels, another the dial, and no further
knowledge OF their relation to the COM
pleted watch is necessary than this.
The we'll posted farmer must be a
reader. he requires it in his business.
He cannot be without his farm papers.
