Practical matters should be brought
into the schools SO far as possible,
One year ago we took up the matter
of proper form for writing business
and social letters, and quite all of the
pupils sent me letters in remarkably
correct form. This was worth every
thing and alone repaid a whole terms

take up the matter of correct form
for simple Book Account. Aud l
would request that each teacher spend
few moments a day for Il week or
so at the ackboard, before the
whole school, until this form is fully
understood, for simple Acct. where
the Debt and Credit is kept upon the
same page. Then at some stated
time let each pupil of proper age en-
tirely unassisted at that time (any
amount of previous assistance allow
able) take sheet of blank paper,
rule it, put the items in proper form,
and bring down a balance for the fol,

Is there any spirit more commend

rejoiced to see the manifestation of

to the end that they might see the
church modinized and made pleasant

say that their earnest toll has beer
rewarded. No one can 60 into oul

catarrh originates in impurities in the

for this purpose there is no preparation
