The Value Of Decision.

The man who hesitates is lost,
isa saying pregnant with much
meaning. There are people who
are forever.g going to do some.
thing of Importance, but who
can never make up their minds
as to the best means to set about
1t. and as a result do nothing.
They are continually making
plans which, before they are per-
fected are rejected for other and
new ideas. which in turn are
dropped for something else. And
when they have exhausted their
Imagination in conceiving plans
for the accomplishment of one
object without deciding finally
upon any, then they ignore the
object itself and choose a new
one to waste their Imagination
upon. Thus they go on from
day to day and year to year de-
Gliding nothing and accomplish
ing nothing, wasting their brain
power and making of themselves
mere trihers in the end in an ac-
tive, busy world. And the OBJ
jects they have sought and the
ideas they have evolved are sue
cessfully sought and put to prac-
teal purpose by others who have
learned the value Of decision and
concentration upon some definite
object.

Whose Money.

Silver is not the poor mans
money any more than it is the
rich mans. 1t is used equally
by both in making small pay.
ments. If there is any difference
the rich man has more small
payments to make than the Door
man, and so uses more silver.
But if silver is the poor mans
money. so much the more reason
why it should be kept good.
Why should the poor man aid in
knocking the Government prop
from under it. and bringing it
down to its value as bullion /? He
has no silver bullion, to get coin
ed to pay his debts with. while
debts due to him are made pay
able in gold. THE poor mans
money" IS now good as anybody's
money; let US keep it SO.

Politics in School.
james N. David, in American Journal
of Education.

The teachers who begin their
schools before the elections this
fall will in many instances be
placed in very trying positions.
Party feeling will be very high
and unless great skill is used the
teacher will find his school de-
generate, into two or three po-
litical factions and will find him.
self allied to that one which IA
vors his political sentiments.
While the teacher need not con.
ceal his political opinions, he
should not make them prominent
nor seek to inculcate them either
in the school or community. 1t
is not his business to be a poll
tician.
His special business is to keep
in theminds of the pupils that he
IS there to teach them with 1.-The
tools of thoughts, that passion,
anger and excitement always
warp and blind the mind and
hinder a correct apprehension of
the truth.
He should impress upon the
pupils the Importance Of acquir.
ing the habit of accurate thought,
for inaccuracy is a form of false
hood. While he should not dis
courage interest in the living.
active present, he should impress
1t upon the pupils that they are
preparing for future action, and
that many of the present ques-
tons may be settled before they
enter active life. A rigid adher-
ence to real school work will
give the pupils power whereby
they shall be able to preserve
the results of the present. and
acquire skill to deal with the
more important questions of the
future, to US perhaps unthought
of, that may arise.
Solong as the world exists
great questions will arise and
must be settled by the rules Of
reason and laws Of thought, &C.
cording to the truth. Let the
teacher keep it steadily before
the pupil that while the present
is glorious. he is getting ready
for the more glorious future of
this world.
