Toachora may put indolent or
restlesk pupils to copying selections
from readers or histories. Requiro
any copying to be done neatly and
'correctly and allow no other to
' pass even if it requires much time,
as it is well spent, as few other
exercises will do as much for
pupils in the acquisition of good
English and tho'study habit.
The end sought in school work
extends throughout life. Tho
Bchool is only a means to an end.
'The end sought in tho study of
grammar is not grammatical facts,
J but tho correct and ready use of
words. All need language; few
ueod grammar.
The end sought in arithmetic is
not answers, but mental deciplino
in rigid and exact reasoning.
Very little of pure arithmetic
nnswors all the needs of ninety
nine in one hundred. Tho end
bought in the study of geography
is not a memory crammed with
dead geographical facte, but an
imagination filled ' with living
pictures or me eartu a nuuucc.

Rainl Rainl Rainl
In our issue of March 20th, in
an article entitled, "The dry
years aro past" etc., wo explain
ed to our readers from a scientific
standpoint why this was so, and
now at tho expiration of two
months with two are threo good
rains during each week of that
period, our farmer friends are
admitting that so far wo .wero.
right, and wo havo no doubt but
that our prediction will be com
pletoly vindicated.
Never at any timo during our
ten years residence in this county
lias grass and grain
rank and luxuriant
had such a
growth at
this season of tho year and many
farmers aro regretting that they
did not sow a larger acreage to
grain. This .Jack will, however,
be atoned for by sowing the idle
acres to millet and kaffir corn
which will produce an abundanco
of feed. The farmer who is
holding on to his Box Butto land
and increasing his flocks, is sure
ly laying tho foundation for a
comfortable fortune in his old
age.
