When we were boys Clicking at
school was seldom mentioned to parents
because it was usually followed by lam
basting at home. Nowadays the teacher
is confronted with court trial for any
thing seldom more than a much needed
spanking. Parents should remember
that their rebuke to teacher, except in
a most glaring case ofinefficiency or cru

entire school, and is false protection to
their interests.

lice against the savage tribes, which con-

rising in station until he became COM
mander in chief of the military forces of
the Transvaal republic.

crushed and pulverised mass on the bu-
som of the old Allegheny. 1t had frozen
over only week previous. Not nearly
all our people had yet gotten their ice
! houses filled and some are on the anxious
seat lest we have no more.
