It is evident that Mr. MeDougall, our new head master, is determined to do all in his power to advance the iii- tcrests of the schools, and, what is more, to keep the trustees posted regarding his views and theories, as he attended the meeting of the board last Tuesday night, and delivered a brief address to the following effect: , - GENTLEMEN :â€"I believe that there should be a thorough understanding between the teachers and the trustees about the working of the school. A free discussion on matters pertaining to the welfare of the school would be of profit to us all, if it were nothing but enlisting of sympathy. On going into your school I set writ- ten examinations in all the rooms ; but the result was not satisfactory. The best way to bring a school to a state of proficiency is by going back with the pupils to where they can stand on the same footing, and then working from principle. It takes longer, but it pays in the end. Promotion examinations should be held when the school is ready for them, and not before, and they should be conducted with great strictncss. The work of the whole term should be combined with the examination set for promotion; and by that means a scholar will soon find out that in order to be advanced he must work, and that his success all depends on his own ex~ ertions. Tn this way the poor scholars are kept in their place until they are prepared to move on. Junior classes well grounded ,up in their work will make good senior class- es. and also good citizens; otherwise they will not. It is. customary in most places to let the whole senior fourth“ write at the entrance examinations. This I believe to be a mistake, because some who are not fit may possibly slip through, and of course will conclude that they are good scholars ; and when they go into the fifth ,class, or high school, they find that. they are in water beyond their depth. and the result is that they became discouraged and ulti- mately threw the whole thing up. Scholars should not be allowed to write at those examinations until they . are well prepared ; then they are pre- pared to take up the work of the next - Class with some degree of satisfaction. 1 The most of those who excel in any line were well grounded up from the bottom.

Wilson, of Fenclon Falls, and icvs. Wilson and Mallctt, of Bobcay- geon. The affair was so great a success I that it is evident Bethel church ought to be enlarged by this time next year.

In order to show the utter worthlessness of these ‘-‘ frauds” as Mr. H. calls them, allow me to quote what the President and Sect’y over their own signatures said of the Mutual Trust Fund Life Association of New York, which col- lapsed two years ago. and this coming from Assessment people tells its own story. “ Ever since the organization of this as- sociation it has been the constant aim of your ofliccrs and directors to build up a strong insurance society on the assessment. Your officers believed that perfect protcc~ tion to the members of the association was possible under the natural premium (assess- ment) system, with a. small additional charge for expenses of management. But one of the most radical defects of assess- ment or society insurance in the past has been the impossibility of securing a. careful selection of risks; 'rui: nxrniuuxcu or out AS- socmrioa ix THIS unsuncr uas .vor BEEN excur- TIONAL. An effort was MADE by the officers to place this association in'a position which could enable it to guarantee protection in so far as could be done by improving its plan, and charging a mount: rate than any other assessment association.

The commissioner of Insurance for the State of Kansas says in his report. “Insur- ance is also a grbwtli, a system based upon the broad and settled facts of experienceâ€"â€" the length of life, the value of money, the stability of society. It improves slowly, prudently and surely. There are men who tell us that it is all wrong; that they have a new plan which will supplant it to-morâ€" row; but it is as easy to supplant the Mul- tiplication table as it is to change the laws of life and death. These facts are common places oflifc insurance, known to all sen- sible persons. So good is its name, so grand is its work, that every modern land abounds in miscreants who steal its livery to serve the devil in. They take your mou- cy and promise to return it a thousand fold in the event of fire, disaster or death. Their ‘ promise is a Ll’rl, their treasury bankrupt. . In my very brief and imperfect administra- l tion of this department I have EVERY nav ' heard the voice of the poor man and the poor woman who has been robbed by base and infamous wretchcs who promised for pay to give insurance. This has been done i in Kansas, the state of our pride, our love, our hope; done by men living here, done l for years and done ten thousand times.
