N*ny feem to tiiink the money raised In such manner 'would accomplish lees good than If obtained otherwise. "The end does f sjlnot always justify the means" but in '* • this case, we think it would. If editca* vy*. tion is one of the strongest forces in /temperance and crime have to grapple with, let whiskey furnish the tupuey grammar" was discussed by Messrs. Parsons, Fisk, Sheldon, Harbsek Bald­ win and Miss Cummins. Prevailing Im­ pression seemed to be that the bulk of the average pupil's work should be ia composition; that technical grammar 1s useful--in its place. S. D. Baldwin gave a resume of the proceedings of the State Teachers* As­ sociation. after which the query bo* was Opened by Miss On mm Ins, and several interesting questions brought out and discussed. The association adjourned to meet again in March at Woo<lsr.ock. Tt '•W/A'uK «**i TAKE NOTICE.

A Transvaal (South AfWca) corres ipondent of the London Time* describee two kinds of thunder-storms that occur in that region, the wet and the drjf>-- . The first is harmless, though noisy; the second exceedingly dangerous.-- During the dry thunder-storms, which were pravelent toward the end of October, the lightning seemed quite stupefying. There was no wind or rain. The angry flashes were followed almost Instantly by awful crashes of : thunder, which seemed to shake the earth. The dry thunder-storms were NOB followed by wet ones, which were very wet indeed, sousing the thirsty earth and causing the Vaal to become speedily Impassible. The latest statistics show 41,678,000 school-children in the world, so far as the census-takers were enabled to • ascertain. These have about 1,000,000 teachers. First, in proportion to population, comes the United State*, wit'j 9.373195 pupils and 291.144 teach­ ers. Beth here and in France the school-children form one fifth of the ' imputation. Prussia, with 4,006.776 ; pupils and 57.936 teachers, takes the third place. Next come England and Wales, where, as in Prussia, school­ children are one 6ixth of the popula­ tion. Austria then files into line. In Japan tliere are 2,162,953 school-chtl dren, but fbt total populatlou is not knOwn.

The pnpil should be urged to do his part viz: prepare his lessons and should be made to feel that the work of acquiring is his. But though the pupil neglect to perform his part of the work, the teacher should not neglect his.-- Maf^ times a lesson would tbe learned much more easily 11 the proper in­ structions were given beforehand. In many of the studies it is a good plan to j|fve instruction one day cn the les­ son of the following day. i We are no advocates of the lecture system. We believe in hard work. But we would make hard work, effective work. See that the pupils understand what Is to be done, then see that they do it. TEACH THE BOYS ABOUT IT.--A t home and at school the boys should be taught the natural effect of alcohol upon the processes of human life. First, they should be taught that it can add noth­ ing whatever to the vital forces nor to the vital tissues.--that it never enters Into the elements of structure; second, iber should be taught that It disturbs the operation of the brain, and that the tuiiid can get no help from it that Is to be relied upon; third, they should be taught that alcohol inflames the iMuer passions, and debases the feel­ ings; fourth, they should be taught that an appetite for drink is certainly iortned in those that use it, which de­ stroys the health, injures the character, and, in millions of instances becomes ruinous to fortunes, and to ail the higii Interests of the soul; fifth, they should feetanghttlret crime and pauperism •re directly caused by alcohol. So long •S #4,000,000 are daily spent for drink la England, and $2,000,000 per day in the United States, leaving little else to show for Its eost but diseased stomachs, degraded homes, destroyed industry, Increased pauperism, and ag­ gravated crime, the boys should uuder- stand tbe facte about alcohol, and I e able to act upon them in their earlirst responsible conduct.--Parish Maga­ zine. TKACHKKP MKKTING. The first exercise at the last Teach- W meeting was ene in percentage by <f. A. Sheldon, who read a short paper on the subject. He thought mucb trouble might be saved by teaching the pupil that the bcue is an impor­ tant element and should be carefully DOted. Coe thought frequent drills were necessary to fix the elements ou the pupil's mind. Baldwin gave a •Clieme for rapid elementary work in y^roeaUge, Fisk would caution pupils taking the form for the substance. l||v H. B. Coe, by request made extended / (*mark» upon primary reading. He >- „ Kgreltcd that our primary teachers knew so little about the proper sounds - letters and teach them so impcrfect 1y; thought much attention should be given to phonetic analysis; thought jMrimary teachers should be able to Sketch object*.
