clothes, and sports n good things
to eat.
Many of us know a lot or useless
things-that is to say, things that
we can't use in farming, or newspa-
per work or the grocery business

every fact he may learn either from

The more a teacher knows the better
he knows how little he knows; and
in these days when Child study" is
made a specially in all normal
schools, county Institutes and local
teachers associations, we do not be-
Eeve there are many teachers who
assume to know it all and that the
child knows nothing. Undoubtedly
every teacher must ever encounter
some inferior minds, defective in
Ifact,-opinions Of parents to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. Accusing and
developing the understanding of these
enlarges The sympathy and %broadens
the mind of the teacher more than

minds that require nothing but hold

sions of genius.
To insure success in any line OF
business it is u~nquestionably true
that good and a knowledge
of human nature is more important
than everything else taught in the
schools Or elsewhere. Yet even the
assumption of grabbed amer often
protects one from bores and argumen-
| tative persons with notions which
they call thoughts. The Record SIM

neighbors of every man who has chill
dren to say whether such youngsters
acquire their bad at home
or in school.

letter From MIR. Cooper.

We received a letter last week from
MIR. D. Y. Cooper written from Paris
under date Of May 2Sth. He wrote
hurriedly and briefy-just dropped
us a line he said in appreciation of
getting the GOLD LEAF. There was
no attempt at descriptive writing or
giving any account Of his travels
and the contents were for private
consumption only; but we are going
to take the liberty of printing an
extract or two believing that our
readers will be interested. in knowing
what our townsman is doing on the
other side of the bigpond. We know
that he will pardon US even if he did
not write for publication, which we
trust he will do next time:
My DEAR MANNING-Upon our return

slow in understanding when you speak,

Mr.. E. E. Hight who shot himself
in his place of business Friday before

The wound in his breast was giving
trouble, inflammation having set in
around the heart. The operation
was successful and hepatient at last
accounts was doing as we'll as could
be expected.
Some developments since the dis
tressilg occurrence tend to the belief
that the shooting Was not the result
of accident but the deliberate act of
we'll laid plans at self-destruction on
the part of the unfortunate man who
seems to have involved himself more
deeply and damagingly than failing
in business and being in debt.
