For downright impudsnce, the COrinne

 Mail commends us to the Mormon Bishop of the town of Franklin, Oneida county, Idaho Territory. It seems that the last school directors elected for that district did not happen to be Mormons, and the Bishop finding that he could not control them as had been his custom with the former direc tors, requested them to resign, giving as his reasons that the citizens had built the schoolhouse, and if they employed Gentle teacher, they could not reap the benefits from the school, and that, being under the control of the Gentiles, any Christian de- nomination would be permitted to preach in the building. Undoubtedly these reasons appear very cogent to the Mormons, but the Gentle directors do not see it in that light, and consequently refuse to resign their po- sitions. When the schoolhouse was under control of the Bishop no Christian was allowed to hold service therein and no of the people were permitted to occupy the building without paying an enor- nous price for it, unless it was for the bene- fit of the Mormon Church.

WE could wish that the people of Califor- mia could be induced to look upon the sub- lect of education as one not necessarily hay ing any political significance whatever. Any man who would as teacher, whether of a primary class or as the States Representa- tive Educator, attempt Co turn the grand system of State Education into political or religious-that is, sectarian, institution-is not fit to be entrusted with the responsibili- ty of the position. Sect and section politics and party fealty, rightfully, have nothing to do with the svstem.-IAlta.

"Bob Noyes, do stop that racket.

Bob's face flushed scarlet and he
laid down the hammer, leaving the
nail half driven. He turned the toy
wagon he had been working on ov-

1t was a pretty toy wagon in his

six nails more it would be finished.
But there must be no racket, so he

DIR. Hall does not approve Of the old
doctrine which was formerly instilled
into the minds Of children-that they
should spring out of bed the minute they
awake in the morning. He says: UP to
eighteen years old every child should
be allowed to rest In bed, after the sleep
is over, until they feel that they would
rather get up than not. It is u very
great mistake for persons, young or old,
especially sedentary persons to bounce
out Of bed the moment they wake up; all
the Instincts shrink from and tiercely kick
against It, Fifteen or twenty minutes
spent in gradually waking ur, after the
eyes are opened, and in turning over and
stretching the limbs, do as much good as
sound sleep, because the operations set
the blood in motion by degrees, tending
to equalize the circulation, for during
sleep the blood tends to stagnation, the
heart beats feebly and slowly, and to
shock the system by bouncing up in an


instant and sending the blood in over
whelming quantities to the heart, caus.
ing it to assume gallop where before II
was creeping, is the greatest absurdity.
The instantaneous bouncing out OF bad
as soon as the eyes are open will be fol
lowed by WEAKNESS long before noon.
