A MOST DELICATE APPARATUS.

One of the most delicate pieces of
apparatus is that used for counting the
number of cells in the blood. Medical
scholars tell US that in a minute drop
of blood 70 larger than the head of d
pin there are three to four million of
these red cells. In health there are
a certain number in a certain amount
of blood; while in certain diseases, as
anemia, this number is greatly def
cient, causing pale cheeks, white lips,
transparent ears, and great debility.
This delicate apparatus has proven
over and over again that Scott's
Emulsion increases these red corpus
Giles faster than any other known
preparation, thus curing or prevent
ing the many diseases and conditions
caused by thin, poor blood.

COOPERATION IN SCHOOL AFFAIRS.
Oscar p. Brown Senior Glass

/ IO-OIEKAIiON IN SCHOOL AFFAIRS.
oscar p Brown. Senior Class.
Few people realize the important
relations which they bear to our pub
lie schools. We are apt to think that
the school is an all-sufficient and
nearly independent factor, that a
building giving shelter and teacher
of good education are sufficient to
make an effective institution of learn
ing. But such is not the case We
are all parts, or should be, of one
harmonious whole each has a
part to play. We must not live for
ourselves alone. Wemust cooperate
we must be united by common aim.
People generally, perhaps, never
stop to think how much and in how
many ways they can aid IN accom-
plishing the aim Of the common
school Money is absolutely necessary
to sustain a school but money is not
all. The school is in need of a deep
er interest. The teacher is in want
OF your sympathy, your confidence
and your Cooperation.
Henry Ward Beecher has said that
there is not single American insti-
tute that does not depend upon pub
lie opinion for its existence. The pa
irons Of our public schools are for the
most part unacquainted with the
teachers deepest motives. They do
not get into the spirit OF the work
They do not visit the school enough
to become acquainted with the AIMS
and motives of the teacher, and in
consequence are led to criticise,
hastily, methods and means of school
conduct that are productive of good,
but which on the surface appear to be
a waste Of time and labor The pa
irons must "go to school, TO see how
and why pupils are taught as they
are They should converse with the
teacher in friendly and sympathetic
way regarding the conduct of the
school rather than criticise him i'm
prudently. If he will not accept
suggestions willingly he lacks an es-
sential requisite Of the good teacher.
The teacher is not perfection and
must not b. expected to possess SUI
per human powers He is i person
who needs your sympathetic advice
and cooperation. Without these
aids the teacher, work is of little
avail
Besides rendering encouragement
and kindly guarded criticism the Pm
tron can give much material aid.
Pres Garfield once sad, The best
system Of education is that which
draws its chief support from Il e
voluntary effort of the community"
The patrons of public schools by viz
tue Of their various experiences can
give their children and teachers much
practical information, and hes dos
can furnish the teacher with inexpen-
siye material to make his teaching
more real, effective and practical.
Every patron can help and should
help the teachers bring knowledge
home to The mind of every child.
Cooperation is the well-spring of our
American civilization. We must have
more of it in our public schools if we
would have them productive Of more
good
