'Here is some good advice to parents
from an unknown writer:n-1300re you
listen to the complaints of your child-
ren about the fiendishness of teach-
ers, and get all worked up and excited
over it, it is better to reflect a little.
Remember your own and a half a
dozen other cherubs drive you crazy
abouit half the time and bear with the
teacher who is making for yon intelli-
gent, men and women of as unpromi-
sing material as you were twenty or
thirty yeans ago. Remember that be-
sides your own boy, who, of course,
everybody knows is an angel, she has
to contend with that awful boy of
your neighbor's and you know full
well what a terror he is.

When you seem) item deseribing the
methods used by a business man to in-
crease trade, or a suggestion, which,

There W1lS an unusually large attend-
ance owing ,to the peculiar interest
aroused in the cases before the Court.
The case of Fisher vs. Harrison and
Cornish was an action on a promissory
note for $150. Wm. Harrison was
the maker of the note in favor of John
J. Cornish, who sold it to Fred. Fish-
er. Harrison denied the signature and
repudiated the note altogether, charg-
ing Cornish with having forged the
note. Both Cornish and his wife
swore that they had seen Harrison
sign the note and that it was then in
the same condition as now. The de-
fendant was also contradicted by other
evidence. His Honor, in givhig. judg-
ment, spoke of the seriousness of the
defence. He found, however, that the
signature on the note in question was
Harrison's, and fully acquitted Cornish
of the crime imputed to him. Glad -

state of affairs Shot:11d engage Mir earn-

Lwould like to offer with reference to

are Certain things children: shoiald. be

obedient,truthful, diligent; honest,
pure, moral and Manly, in
words, ac-
ti(>ns and conduct. : •1 think it a duty
of all teachers to continue daY-by. day
this ethical.withseeular teaching. . I
ant informed that -oar- 'Principal, Mr.
Boyd, is Manifesting commendable
zeal, in giving attention to these mat-
ters, for which he deserves the thank.,
of the general public and the' assistance
and n warm support of the . trhsteess
I Would further.suggest' that nll seho-
tars, boys and -girls alike, .be instructed
:in drill regularly and for the following
reasons, ' it developes' the body,makes
boys erget'in_person, teaches theni to
Walk properly, favors quick obedience,
and to act in Unison, to fix the atten-
tion, it also .enables scholars to read
history with more interest and ...more
intelligently. .1 'would . also Suggest
that a saitable building be erected an
our aniple school grounds,: '.divided in
the centre by folding doors, so that it
could be thrown into one for the 'pur-
pose of drill: Such a building would
be Most -useful as a place for the child-
ren in .bad weather,and would Save the

to the general public on certain 'occa-
sions. Iliope to hear other expressions
