1t is not pleasant to print dunning
notices in the paper, and we avoid it
as much as possible, but when an ex-
animation of our books shows that
that there is large amount outstsnd-
ing that is needed in our business,
the necessity of calling attention to it
is forced upon us. The times are hard,
and for that reason we have been just
as lenient as possible, but expenses
are heavy, and when money does not
come in fast enough to pay them, we
must ask for what is due. All sub
scrlbers who owe for year or more
will please settle before April Ist
Statements of the amount due will be
sent through the paper to those who
are in arrears, and prompt payment is
requested. If.

here as anywhere?" Yes, so you have In their
line OF practice, but not In those specaltles

In. In support OF this unqualified assertion

sician In Pennsylvania who can remove tuInors
OF even 80 pounds weight without the use OF

Dr. MacTaggart does It successfully. These

In Jersey, where white and colored
tramps are placed in common pit,
they are said to draw the color line
when in there and fight like cats and
dogs. Jersey is charitable enough to
provide such fair winter quarters as
to make them quite popular with the
tramps; but as yet they have no re-
served seats, and they make no dis
tinction because of race. color, or
previous condition of servitude. There
is where Jersey is little lame.

introduces too many new words: it
introduces too difficult words; it does
not introduce the same words often
enough, and its combinations are such
as do not present an opportunity for
teaching the child expression.
The other Reader spoken of intro
duces new words few at time. 1t
introduces familiar words very fire.
quently. Its words awaken agreeable
associations in the child's mind and
the combinations OF these words ARE
such as admit of expression being
taught from the first.
Barnes Reader is. based on old fogy
notions, while the other Reader is
based on modern ideas. and is up TO
date. Ii the Nriter had been the
author of that Reader, then could he
die content, and if lie could be taught
to read from that book then, would
he consent to become child again.
1t seems that The Brown TOWNSHIP n
Educational Association has taken m
for discussion the question suggested
i'll the writer's last article. 1T is to he
hoped that when they have given 1t
hearing that they will take up this
question of text books, which | con-
slider the great burning question of the
time for our parents and teachers to
solve.
We need better teachers and more
of such good ones as we have badly
enough, but in the name of childhood
let us not handicap those we have with
such limitations as are imposed by
Barnes books.
Parents, for the sake of the children,
comeCtO the rescue! Inform yourself
OF the insufliciencies of the. books your
children are using and see if there are
not others with which you can replace
them with advantage.
1t is plain that in this article we
must not go farther than the First
Reader. But the text.b book question
should be discussed as to who should
select them. A man may know exactly
when to plant corn, or how to do up a
bundle of calico, OF dollars worth of
sugar, or how to build Il house, or even
how to rock the cradle, without the
least knowing what is, or is not, Il
proper book toput in the hands of his
child when he becomes pupil in the
public schools. These people have
selected text books Il good while and
its wonder that some publisher hasn't
made them believe that dictionary,
as 1t contains all the words, would be
more suitable for IL first book than any
other. The only reason he hasn't,
is that he didn't try.

THE Topeka Capital has not as yet
holsted the popullst banner, but is
doing the next thing to it, advocating
popnlistic ideas. The Capital says that
when property is taken on mortgage it
should be full satisfaction for the debt,
and no personal judgment should be
allowed. We believe that IS all right,
but wonder little how Hudson will
square himself with the Governor, for
in his message lie indicated his views
on the mortgage question, and they
were not calculated to make the
borrower feel very secure. Men of the
Governors stripe want TO protect
capital. Men of the LeweliIng cast
want to protect homes, ard that's just
aboEt the difference between populism
and republicanism.
