A very pleasing exhibit of
school work reached the county
superintendent desk last week
from the pupils of the First
Grade at Scotland. The exhibit
was made up of cards decorated
in keeping the work of February
on one side and upon the other
side was a neatly written little mes
sage to the county superintendent.
We pause to remark that work of
this sort is very timely. These
children exhibit better know
ledge of form in letter writing
than many grown-ups who have
gone through normal schools and
colleges. Our religious philoso-
ply teaches that if q man taught
the way of truth in his youth, he
will not depart from it in his later
years. This is also good pedago-
gy for teachers.

cause he receives u great many

fail in their efforts at good form"
in letter writing.
