INTEREST YOUR PATRONS.

1t is impossible to get the best results
from school in which the patrons are
not actually interested. I so often hear
the complaint that the patrons are not
interested iu the school. I am 80 often
asked how can the patrons be interested ?
Wake up, fathers and mothers! Is it
possible that some stranger--a tescher-
wl.o comes into your vicinity, has more
Interest in the development of your
children than you yourselves have?
What means this lack of interest on the
part Of pareots? Farmers, do you treat
your fields will! IS much Indifference as
YOU treat tl.e, minds Of your children :?
Is it possible that there ia father or
mother in this, the banner County of the
State, who visits hia tenant or laborer
and oyerlocks his work ofloncr than he
or cha Waits the school aaa teacher, and
sees what kind of work is being done on
the minds Of the children? Do not be-
Jieyo YOU arc not needed aud wanted at
the school house Visit the schools as
often as you can iind spare time, aud if
you cannot find spare time, spare some
time and go anyhow. It will please the
teacher, and intensity and increase the
interest OF your children. Go and sit for
an hour or two on the hard, uncomiorta-
bic benches you have provided for your
children, aud SEQ if You do not think
they could and should be made more
comfortable. Try to use black board

A Reyengeful Monkey.

An amusing story is told of a monkey
and cockstoo in the Geological Gardens
in Washington. One day the cage of the
cockatoo was put on the top of the cage of
very intelligent monkey. The monkey,
undisturbed by the presence of his gorge.
GUS noighbor, went flying about, as usual,
most actively. In the course of his
movements his tail went through the top
of his cage AID lay against the side of
Miss Cockatoo's cage. She Immediately
caught it with beak and claws, and the
poor monkey screamed and struggled to
free himself. When at last be did free
himself, the hair was torn from his tail,
aud for some days he suffered. The
cockatoo was moved across the aisle.
Somebody had given the monkey small
piece Of a mirror, which he greatly
enjoyed. One Gay as he held the mirror
ray of sunlight struck it and blinded
him for minute. The reflection dane
ed about from place to place, to the
monkeys delight. at last striking the
cockatoo's cage, who gave frightened
scream as it struck her eyes, for it blinded
her. The monkey by this time had
learned 10 direct rays, and for over half
an hour the cockatoo was chased from
side to side and from top to bottom of
her cage by the binding flash, the mon
key evidently enjoying her fright. He
could not be diverted until passing
cloud made the bit of mirror useless rs q

then think the progress of the children
demand something better. The first real
cold day call in to see if you don't think
the school house is little too "airy."
But this is not telling the teacher how
to secure the interest of the patrons. If
necessary to get them started, arrange q
special programme for some afternoon,
and extend pressing invitations to the
patrons to call that afternoon. Repeat
this if necessary, and "they will eventu-
ally become so interested that they will
not wait for an invitation, but will
drop in at any time. The press is an
important factor in helping secure and
keep the patrons Interested" Write up
your school, give some account of your
work, keep your school before your pa
irons. Visit the patrons and enlist their
cooperation. Keep them informed of
the progress of their children, and you
will find in them at least some response
to your own interest in the work of pre-
pairing the children for usefulness in this
world, and happiness in the world to

I am very glad to note the improve
ments that are being made on the school
houses throughout the County. The
children should be made comfortable #
we expect the best results. One other
thing I would like to see in every school
room is full supply Of good 5lackboards.
This ia also essential to the best results.
Every teacher will agree with me in this.
The education of the children is what we
should seek most of all things in the
school room. And no teacher can do
his or her best work without; comforta'

man to work without tools. There can
be no better investment of money or
labor than that expended in getting
blackboards. I have an offer from a
dealer to supply the schools of this
County with the best slated cloth, (which
makes the best blackboard one can get,
except real STATE stone) at one dollar q
yard. 1t is q yard wide, and three yards
would make splendid board. Let me
insist on good blackboards. I shall be
glad to assist the patrons or Trustees Of
any school in getting whatever they may
need in improving their schools.
