EDUCATIONAL.

EDUCATIONAL.
Nothing in the school system Of to-
day is paying larger dividend then
the teaching Of plain sewing.
The most important duty Of any
school board is the selection Of teach
ers. Every honest school officer de.
sires the best teacher he can get for
the money at hand, There are o few
general principles laid down to fol-
low, or should be followed, although
there may be sometimes an occasional
exception, first: 1t pays to have
good teacher. A teacher who de-
mands $50 q month for a district
school is usually cheaper than one
who will teach for less. II is better
to have good teacher for six months
than poor teacher for ten months.
On the other hand every district
school should have 1T least nine
months OF school. IA teacher who ct
tendscounty associations, county ln-
stitutes, who takes a. school journal,
,buys educational books, who attends
summer schools ia better and cheaper
than one who does not do these
things And it is also true that The
teacher who has spent one year or
more at a normal sehoolor college is
likely to be better aud cheaper than
one who has"nsEer attended such q
school. School officers will sdo we'll
to ask applicants some questions re-
latng to the above points. II is also
we'll to consult the county supsrin-
tendent about q teacher, and when
doing 80, his advice should al ways be
considered confidential .,a
II is considered "a careful school
board, who has book case put in
the school house Of district school
where they have uniform text books
and own them or whers they partially
own them, and il IS not business-like
to neglect the care Of its property.
~
All those who have neatly written
out their list Of New Years resolu.
tions, we hope have not forgotten to
add among the numerous items the
important one Of not to worry over
things You Cannot help" OF course
we expect to break most OF the long
list of resolutions, bat we never in
tend to do so, but il we can cling to
that last one, Of not TO worry" we
can save ourselves many wakeful
nights and miserable days. When
the first little trial comes mp, look on
the bright side Of it, make light OF it,
laugh at it, il possible; il not look it
over carefully and SEQ if you can bet
ter 1t in any way, il that is impossi-
BILE, drop it and try to never think Of
it again Save your physical strength
for the actual struggle Of life which
comes to every one Of US.

Well Merfted Success.

When an Orange County boy makes
a success in business it is always ample
cause for cOngratulatiOn, especially
from our county standpoint, and we
are glad to be able at this time tC
chronicle the signal success made by
Mr.. W. David Quimby, superintendent
of the great mercantile esta blishment
of Houghton & Dutton, Boston. The
Daily Globe of December first gives a
complete description of the improve
ments made by this noted firm, a few
extracts of which follow;
The subway has been considered most
remarkable feat of engineering and con-
structiOn, largely from the fact that the
regular business of the city has been in
terfered with so very little during its
progress. But during the construction of
the subway for the past year a problem
of building and engineering has been in
progress on the corner of Beacon and
fremont SITS. in HoughtOn & Dutton's
mammoth store, which in many respects
is more wonderful than the subway when
everything is considered.
The old establishment of Houghton &
Dutton has been incorporated in new
one and changed in such way as to make
a complete architectural whole of the
building and the addition to this an i'm
rather dug out 600, 900 cubic feet of earth
having been removed; and all this work
has been carried on while the regular
business of the store has been in progress
and with very little inconvenience to the
multitude of shoppers and employees that
crowd the building and have crowded it
during the progress of this work for al
most two years. The bottom of the sub
basement is AZ feet below the sidewalk on
the Pemberton So side. The bottom of
the boiler pit is - feet below the level of
the street, The underpinning consists
of $4,000 cubic feet of granite, weighing
13,00O,000 pounds. The steel used in con-
struction was 100000, pounds. while
5000, 600 brick were used. Just imagine
the work that this necessitated! The
height of the building on fremont st is
125 feet above the sidewalk and 26 feet
below, making total hight of 100 feet.
The floor space is between six and seven
acres.
Messrs. Woodbury. & Leighton, the
for the manner in which they did their
work under enormous difficulties, and
much credit is also due Mr.. George II.
Harvey, the foreman who Superlntended
the work construction. But, after all, it
is safe to say that the man who most
keenly felt the respon sibility for the sue
cess Of the work was superintendent
Quimby, who has probably dreamed OF it
every, might since it was startea----llge
knew where every brick and stone ami
pound of steel and piece of marble that
was used went and why it went there.
'Dave" as he was familiarIy known
in these parts, had the reputation years
ago as a ''hust err and gem compan-
ion possessing the get there qualities,
and we are certainly pleased at hi
rapid and well deserved develope menU
in the Hub"
