and at Que time it was thought that they
were all killed, but it does not seem tn /
they were much injured. The tops were
killed Lut the ground was dry and they were
not "spewed up by alternating freezes and
thaws. The wheat that l have sesn and

There Is quantity OF fine lana cleared
throughout this section, and | understand
that in several cases it is t. make more room

The value of dull books in school training
is generally conceded, but doubt has been
raised respecting the use of knowledge
books, especially in elementary schools. It
is clamei that the knowledge presented in
school books, except such as is connected
with the school art, can be more readily
taught orally, and hence it /, inferred that
the use Of such books in elementary schools
is mistake. But the fact claimed does not
justify the inference, since the prime object
Of shool training is not the imparting of
knowledge so much as imparIing tho power
TO acquire knowledge. which includes the
power to acquire knowledge from books.

S me PEOPLE fall our with teacher be-
cause he don't advance their children to
higher studies before their young minds are
capable Of omrrehsndiug them This is o
fatal mistake; iis the outgrouth Of igno-
rance. The teacher is the. one 10 select the
Hndies most suited to the capacity Of the
child, and if he is not capable Of doing. this
he Is uni. for the position he occupies.
The Tatent has MS much right to say 10 the
physician what kind OF medicine he needs
to cure him rs the average Iarent has to
know what kind If books his child needs to
study. That is the business Of the teacher.
Such work results in examining the mind
and can only at best give the child smst-
terins idea Of principles intended t. be
taught.

Association meetings there has been brought
to light so many new aud improved systems
anI methods of teaching in every depart

mentary aud primary branches, so important
in cur rublic schools, that he felt he could
only do hdif work in the cause of education
unless those who had knowledge and expert
ence in those new systems and methods
would como to his assistance, and instruct
Their fellow Teachers in these new methods,
showing their advantages an efficiency in

new methods are in'slgsntly adopted by the
