SOME GOOD ADVICE.

I'VE are too apt to measure sue
cess or failure in anything underta.
ken solely by the cash returns which
it brings. In some thugs this may
be fair as, for instance in a special
investment outside of ones regular
occupation, or in something foreign
to ones daily life. But this is no
Just measure of profit in the true
sense of the word, in other connec-
tions. The amount of surplus cash
which the farmer may have at the
end of the year is single item in
the profit of the year. His entire
living has been a profit as also has
been every comfort his industry has
enabled him to enjoy every pleasure
and every good afforded to his fam
lily, every bit of satisfaction derived
from his labor, every Improvement
in appearance or value of his farm
and buildings, a hundred things not
enumerable. All these 90 to make
up profit and the cash surplus must
be huge indeed If it amounts to any
appreciable consideration in com
parison with these things. Let us
all get above and outside of the
idea of working for money alone,
Accumulate if you can, but for your
own sake and every thing you reVer-
enCe and respect, do not, by wor-
Shipping it, and making its acquire
ment the end of all labor, make the
dollar curse instead of the bless
ing it should become. Farmers need
as much as any other class of men,
to guard against setting up this
false idea of profit in their minds
and in no class of men, is it more
out of place, or more to be depIor-
ed"

BUILDINGS AND FURNITURE.

The number and character Of school buildings
in rural districts have not changed much during
the last twenty-five years In where old
buildings have worn out, new ones have been
erected These now houses are generally better
and larger than those Of the earlier period But
they arc all the same plan, and arc all
heated by stoves. There are no means Of ventil-
alton except by windows. One sometimes wishes
that some carpenter would design and build
district school house upon different plan, pro.
viding for ventilation in some way that would
avoid the colds which almost always result from
window ventilation.
In the boroughs much improvement has been
made in the style and character Of school build.
ings. The first modern building properly heated
and ventilated was erected at Olyphant about
1883 Since that time nearly all Of the districts
in the mining region have torn down their old
houses and erected modern buildings ranging in
cost from 5000 to $4,000. Only one school
house in the county is still furnished with the
old.fashioned carpenterbuit desks and many are
supplied with best single desks. Nearly all
buildings throughout the county have an abund-
ance Of slate blackboards. These improvements
have all been made since 1875.
Previous TO 1875 no attempt had been made to
improve school grounds Many OF the school
yards in boroughs have since been fenced and
planted with trees. The township lots have also
been improved in some places; but as most Of
these lots unfenced, many Of the trees plant.
cd have been destroyed.

country schools go to normal schools and acade'
mics to complete their education; the remaining
three.fourths ave no further training. II these
SCHOOLS were consolidated and graded 80 that
some high school work could be done, the enroll.
ment would, no doubt, be greater than in 1875.
SALARIES.
The average salary paid to male teachers in
1875 was S3ssl per month; to females, $3.50.
We now pay an average Of $io.ol TO males, and
$3232 to females Those salaries are about 81
per cent. higher than those of 1875. The aver
