Webster that | should like to see him
at my tent early in the morning. The
sentry delivered the message, and my
father afterward told him what Wash
ington had said. He wished to con-
suit him as to the feeling in New
Hampshire; asked him about the
patriotic sentiment among his neigh
bors-whether they had counted tho
cost Of resistance to the British, and
were ready to throw away the scab-
bard, and spend and be spent in the
cause. Washington talked an hour
with the captain, offered him re-
freshments, and when he retired
shook him warmly by the hand

should rather have it said upon my
fathers tombstone that he had guard

and was worthy of such a trust, than
to have emblazoned upon it the
proudest insignia of heraldry that
the world could give!"

Teachers Permits.

Supt. Roberts of Stearns county,
Mimi. in taking up the matter of
granting permits or third grade GER
tifcates has the following pertinent
remarks in his home paper, which has
also been marked out as my course in
the way of building up the schools of
this county. He says: "Taking the
future welfare of the teachers into con-
sideration, as we'll as that of our COM
mon rural schools, which in many in
stances need stronger and better in
struction in the common branches, 1
have fully determined to issue no per-
mits or third grade certificates for the
coming school year, unless find it
absolutely necessary to do so in order
to fill our schools"
Those holding such certificates will
give this matter their most careful at
tention and get out Of the rut by at
tending the summer school here, this
summer. and passing the examination
at the close of the school. The cues
tions as now given in the examina-
tions, are not unreasonable, and no
person DESTROYS of teaching, should
begin the school year with anything
elss than a second grade certificate.

Commencement orators and o:her
speakers on educational subjects are
becoming bold enough to criticize our
educational system. This system en-
deavors to crowd too much into the
general school. In a recent address
in New York a prominent man said:
1.-The mistake of our masters of peda-
gogics is that they fail to realize the
infnity of the world of knowledge and
the futility of attempting to cover it
in a common school course Obvi-
ously selection should be made and
only the useful branches be taught in
schools that do not aim to specialize.
Many of our public schools and COL
leges are guilty of follies and errors
that are little short of crimes against
society. Far too much is attempted
with the pupil and too much is de-
manded of the teacher. Rapid transi-
tions from one subject to another re-
suit in hazy impressions. The teacher
is perpetual hostage to the prog
ress Of the age. The RESULT is to
bring reproach upon the whole system
of education and gives rise to such
expressions as educated fools. ."

The annual Vermont state convention
of the Y. NJ. {. \. will convene in Rut.
land April II, Is and 10. Our local
Association will he represented toy at
least two delegates, names to be given
later.
The talk on "Astronomy" given last
Thursday evening 10y Mr.. John Ryan
was attended by about sixty people, aud
was, on the whole, enjoyed 10y them.
While Mr.. Ryan is greatly handicapped
OH account of not having had the edu-
cational advantages that many Others
have had. he has remarkable grasp
of his subject, and his apparatus, which
is all of his own manufacture, patented
by the Dominion Government, is very
complete. \ noteworthy feature in
connection with his accomplishment, is
the fact that during all the years in
which he has made study of his subs
iect, he has been in active service as Il
locomotive fireman and engineer, and
by the way is still running an engine
between Brockville and Montreal. 1t
took three years to construct portions OF
his apparatus. 1t demonstrates beyond
question that a person can accomplish
very much during their spare moments.
We hope the young men aud boys will
always keep this in mind.
Fifty-two men assembled i'll the
to commemorate the eighty-ffth birth

influence she had exerted for God in
lifting humanity upon higher plane of
righteousness and purity by the produc-
ton of her hundreds of divinely inspired
hymns. The speaker then dwelt upon
the fact that every man had been and
is being vitality influenced heavenward
by some good woman. The solo by Mr..
Carpenter was listened to with great
interest,

Letter to Life Blake.

Dear Sir But few of the men who
sell the hundred different paints in the
market know much about them. All
Devoe agents have a state chemists Ger.
titicate telling Just what it's made of ;
they know good deal, not only about
Devoe but the rest we see that they do.
We buy every paint that has any sale,
and analyze it. Our agent finds out all
about it.
When we know what paint is made
of, we know how it will act We know
how far it goes, and how long it wears.
Devoe is the standard call it 100
The best of the rest is about IS; the
worst about % the rest are between.
But the men, who sell them. don't
know any better. They know what the
maker tells them. That is : they know
that he tells them. They don't know
whether he tells them the truth or not.
The business is not conducted on
knowledge; the less they know, the
more comfortable they are.
