The needs Of the school are many.
The trustees, while making the most
prudent expenditure of the public
finances, should see that the work Of
education is not hampered. Often pet
ty economy is really the greatest ex-
travagance. Procuring the best there
is for the children, and using it under
competent direction, is the greatest
economy.-School Interests.
Training pupils to read and to love
good literature is by far the most inn
portant work done in school. 1t is the
one thing that continues to contribute
to ones education so long as he lives.
1t is not the ability to read, but the
use made of that ability that contrib
utes to the destiny of Il child. Thomas
Edison says his whole life was govern
ed by reading single book.-Thc
Child-Study Monthly.
The public school is the place to
which we should turn chief attention in
our effort to promote more beautiful
public life in America. The school
house and the school grounds should
be beautiful, and the child should be
surrounded by beauty in the school
room from first to last. Trained in
the habit of seeing beauty and know
ing it, he will come instinctively to
hate ugliness i'm the house and in tire
street, as he goes out in ife.-Journal
of Education.
The character Of Nhe teaching func-
ton, and especially the teachers call
ing, must be made the subject Of con-
slant direct appeal to the public. There
is urgent need of an educational cam
paign on the subject of education under
its theoretical, practical and historical
aspects. The preparation of teachers
must be improved by direct efforts to
that end. 1t is an undenia bic fact. and
a cheering one, that as rule the better
the work the teacher does, the longer
his term of service. There can be no
doubt that one reason why the tenure
of city teachers is longer than country
teachers is the fact that, as class,
they represent q much higher grade OF
preparation. The folly Of the incessant
changes occurring in our corps OF
teachers must be dealt with directly
and effectively, as far as possible
This win conduce to better preparation
and to better teaching. It is true. OF
course, that the teaching body as q
whole will undergo, and ought to I'M
dergo, constant changes, since changes
are incident to human life and society
hut this is no defense of the wretched
system that prevails at present.-The
Dial.

Cure Worth the Disease.

A grave Aberdonian vouches for the
truth of the following: "Gen. Butler and
Ian Hamilton" he AYERS, "have always
been great friends, and many years ago,
when both were lieutenants, Butler was
staying in Aberdeenshire with the Hami]
tons for the shooting. One day, while
the party was crossing marsh. shout
was heard from Butler, who had gone on
little way in front. On coming to his
rescue they found him sunk up to the
neck in mud. Having pulled him out,
one of the gentlemen proffered him
glass O. 'Hielant' Butler tossed it off
with evident relish.
"'Give me another said he, and I'll
jump in again."

the use of the tobogganers meant a
mile minute ride down a steep in
cline every foot of which was fraught
with peril. Many wild tumbles ensued,
many ears and noses We're frozen in
the pursuit of this captivating sport,
and yet the toboggan dropped in popu-
larity with as sudden and hard thud
as the roller skate. Just as IN the
case of the roller skates, when the to-
boggan was at its height, the sales
made by sporting goods houses were
enormous considering the size Of the
cities. One firm alone in the city of st.
Paul sold in few months in the neigh
borhood Of $4,000 worth Of toboggans.

N1arseilles m Important Port.

The general manager of the South
eastern & Chatham Railway company is
maifesting much interest in the improve
ments which are to be made in the &C.
trains of the Peninsular & Oriental COM
pany. He perceives that Marseilles, by
reason of it's geographical situation, will
become the port Of embarkation for the
Cairo to Cape route, as it is for India,
China and Australia. It will be the most
direct port for rapid communication, and
the most comfortable way for passengers
between London, Berlin, Paris and the
great French and English colonies

Time was when the erstwhile toboggan
was the Warmest winter fayOrite that
ever caVorted among the frozen hills

the way of all other favorites that have
reisned with too much popularity. But
Il few short years ago winter without
the toboggan in the billy country would
have been like a Fourth of July with
out fireworks. The season would have
been naught but a bitter patch of mel

folks would have gone into spasms OF
Indignation and yexation if they had
been deprived of the privilege of to-

reasons for buying this class of securities at
current prices TO hold for a rise later on in the
