one strong school, with two or more
teachers. The children could be
graded and taught better. RI The
teaohers&Would stimulate each other

monthly salary could be higher and
the employment longer: But how
shall the children get to the scheol.f
Here is the problem. + / insist that
they oan walk q great deal farther
than their too indulgent parents are
now usually willing for them to
walk. We now have. many neigh
borhoods in which it is possible to
dispense with several schools and
patronize one without serious incon-
venlence. am glad to observe
some tendency to do this.
In the Northeastern and North
western States thoy have resorted
to the practice of employing driver
and team to bring to school and
carry home the children who live
beyond a certain distance. I hope
within the next year to look into
this system. 1t is very possible that
with the money saved by abolishing
just one of our weak country schools
the more remote children may be
hauled to tho big school house which
will be supported by tho many Of
the three or four other schools sup
planted by it. i
6. Lastly we necG better financial
support, longer terms, better equip
ment, better salaries. This must
come by levying a special local tax.
| put this last because | believe that
with our present resources we can
do much on the lines above indicated
to give us better schools. When
these things are done and the peo-
pie sec that the schools are not a
humbug, they will be reader to pay
more money to support thom. But
until there is evidence of something
being done, nobody is willing to give
moro money. l believe that a good
teacher will, in the end, bring every
thing else. We sec it in many
localities.
One thought more. There are
those who condemn universal edu.
cation. They think that education
belongs to the select few and unfits
ehe ordinary man for his station in
life, makes him discontented with his
lot, threatens socialism. l will only
say that as long rs there is room for
improvement it is curse to keep
mems minds contcntcd. TO doubt
that it is good for all men to know,
is to believe that darkness is better
than light-it is to doubt that it is
good for us to know the wondrous
truths in the midst of which God has
placed us.

SILVER PLATE IN STOMACH.
The Result of She'll Wound Re-
ceived by New French Min
lister of Nar.

Gen. De Gallifet, the new French
minister of war, who has excited uni
versal admiration by his repression of
unruly army officers, is remarkable for
wearing silver plate over his stomach
in place of the tissue with which nature
supplied him.
The general was terribly wounded at
the siege of the Convent of Guadeloupe
during the French expedition to Mex
leo, in 1868. A shell carried away a
large portion of his stomach
He explains that his experience as a
sportsman then stood him in good
stead.
He had often noticed how when a
hound was gored at boar hunt he was
not sacrificed or shot, but his intestines
were replaced and the skin stitched up.
When, therefore, he recovered con-
sciousness he himself describes how he
collected all he could and made his own
