The first elementin a good school ia the prominence given to the three R's - andthe best method adopted for teaching them-- reading, and thst school which does not make the aching of these its chief aim, which allows any one of its pupils to go imperfectly taught in any of these bas no claim tothe title of a good schoo}.

That parent is not only acting stupidly and wastefully but he is acting cruelly towards his child when he encourages or allows the slightest hankering of dislike or mistrust to arise in his mind towards his teacher, as the advan- tages obtained by the child from the in~ struction of the teacher whom he distrusis will be small indeed. The child's precious time will thus be in a great measure wasted, the mind will become effeminate, distrustful and driveling, and his future life and useful- ness may be forever marred or ruined through the injudicious course of his parents, Par- ents who desire their children to reap the full advantage of the instruction given them at school must themselves be unremitting in their duty in this particular, they must em- brace every opportunity of showing their hildren the of a good ed and urge the necessity for regular and care. ful study to attain to that object ; they must endeavor to inculcate in them an esteem for and confidence in their teachers : and they liberal education, History, Logic Rhetoric, Geometry, Algebra, Men suration; Chemistry, &e. &c., and to eriter profitably on a classical course But the efforts of a teacher or a staff of teachers are not of themselves willidient to make a good school; the , combined efforts of teachers pupils and parents are indispensable #0 the up-building and maintenance -of a good school.

Another important duty devolving on parents in this connection is to consider what they intend to make of their children , | and how long they can afford to keep them at school, so that the course of their studies may be direeted accordingly. Of course during the first, second and it may be the | third year at school all pupils follow one channel through the first, second, third and fourth readers with the usually accompany- ing branches. About the end of third year ordinarily diligent and intelligent pupils ought 4o be prepared to enter upon their second course, as it were ; it is here they begin to diverge aud it is here that parents ought to determine the future course oftheir children, how much longer they can give them ateohool.

To abtain a theoretical and practical knowledge of these will fully occupy all his time and attention for the two years he has yet to remain at school, and when he lcaves school he will carry with hima sufficient ledge of these indi blo branches to earry him through the ordinary bus- iness of lifewith pleasure and advantage.

However there cannot bo has been by far the best and most profitable season this road has ever onjoyed and on no previous season have the public been so well served, But while all is thus progressing so smoothly all being content with things as they are, an ugly rumor is being circulated to the effect that of November and stand closed. till the first of May.. Wedon't know on what authority the rumor is founded and we certainly would take no no- tice of it were it not for the preval- ence of the report, in fact we hear it wherever we go, but we do not be- lieve it possible that the company would do anything of the sort and we don't believe that they could it they would. If Railway Companies have the power to shut down whenever they please without consulting or considering the interests "ot those who liberally subsidized the enterprise it is time that steps were taken to remely the evil. If corporations are to give their sixty, fifty or thir- ty th d doliars to' subsidize a road which will only run at such seasons as it can make the most y; not by g those who have assisted it, but in carrying thefreight of outsiders and shut down 80 soon as the outside supply ceases notwithstanding that those who gave so much to assist, the road then require it most but cannot get it; we say if railway companies possess such power the sooner a remedy is provided the better will it be for all. We cannot believe that the W. & P. P.R. y would pt any- thing of the sort knowing as they do that the winter is the chief season in which the services of the road are regaired by the merchants, the far- mers andfn fact the whole commun. ity and if the road were toshut down would have it the work would be of comparatively little value to those who were its chief promoters, and redress would have te be sought in some other quarter. Ifthe rumor is unfounded and we cannot believe it possible to be correct, the sooner it is contradicted the better for all, for) even the ramer of suchwption on the] part of the railway company has a mischievous effect. Shut mp our) only railway six months in the year) and.that foo when it is mosbrequired by those whobmlt.t is absurd in the extreme--too absurd in fact for a moment's credence. : em---- ~Well Directed Energy.
