that it is one of the accompani
ments of old age which they
must perforce put up with as
best as they can This need
not be the case. all of these
symptoms are simply the result
of inflammation more or less
pronounced OF tn air passages
of the lungs, and of the thin
membran- that constitutes their
lining. They can be relieved
by taking Reid's German

While attending Teachers Meeting
at Walker McElmoyle school house, the
23rd inst, and enjoying the resolutions,
social exchange of views, and the discus
sion of the new and the old methods Of
teaching, I was impressed with the fact
that Mr.. Wardlaw, our School Commits
sioner, insisted on the lady teachers to
express themselves on various subjects.
Now there is no objection to lsdy's
having self control and command of Ian :
guage to express her views wherever she
may be thrown. This is all right, but it
is one of the least essentials in lady's
accomplishments for her to be able to
make public speech.
Dear lady teachers, let me impress you
now, even in this intelligent age, that
you should teach your girls the import
ance of being useful at home as we'll as
ornamental to society. Teach. them not
to despiae the day of small things. BY
taking many lessons from their mothers
they can learn to be self sustaining. They
should often go into the kitchen and
make sweet loaf and golden butter. A
little work in the garden will not hurt
the most brilliant girls. Darning, patch
ing and remodelipg clothing for their
fathers and brothers, and helping them
in every possible way to save what they
make, should be greatly dwelt upon.
They should enjoy doing anything that
will add to the happiness or beauty of
home, even though they get their soft
hands somewhat hardened, or their com.
plection saIlowed. It is the duty of all
to labor, either with hands or brains ;
and say teach the girls more than music
and drawing. These are all right in
their places, but they won't fit every.
where.

deep interest in the cause of Education.
Among other things resolution was
adopted declaring that the Examination
questions should be more practical, and
so drawn up as to test thoroughly the

seems to be disposition on the part of
teachers generally to raise the standard,
and make it harder and harder to get
