EDUCATIONAL COLUMN. All communications Intended for this column (mould bo wUlittuod to J. It. O'N. llolloway, I'.sq.. who has kin Uly consented to edit It. Road and Study. How many of out- teachers arc sub scribers to educational periodicals? Very lew, we fear, and yet bow nec essary they arc for the improvement bf the teacher in his profession. Un less tlic physician reads and studies periodicals councctcd with his calling in order to keep abreast with the many improvements and the rapid stridc3 of the science of medicine, he will prove himself an unworthy disci ple of Escnlapius. The minister who' expects to fulfill a grand mission must bo able to solve the intricate mysteries of revealed religion and keep alive to the upward and on ward march of the church, or he will fall far short of his mark. So with every profession of life. And the teacher, if true to himself and to the interests of those whom he instructs, must keep up with tho progress of his profession, ami to do this ho must supply himself with books and peri odicals and read them. The great actor, Salvini, once said to his pupils : "If you would wield a mighty power, the Inundorbolt of oratory, study, study, study ; all the genius in the world will not help you along with any art, unless you uro a hard stu dent." We need not make the appli cation, for every sensible teacher will readily sec the point. A New Sea. It is known from careful measure ments of M. Kondalrc, that a large part of the desert of Sahara is a large basin, having a surface level lower than the Mediterranean Sea. In that part of the' desert south \of Algeria and Tunis, this depression extends about 3,100 square miies, which is equal to the a?*ca of the Stales ol Del aware and Rhode Island. Into this basin it is proposed to admit the wa ters of the Meditei'ancan by means of a canal from the Gulf of Gabcz, this young sea having a depth of one hun dred feet in sonic places, averaging forty feet, with an aiea of half of Lake Ontario. Physical geographers anticipate important climatic changes in the vicinity from evaporation and precipitation, and in all probability will allocl the climate nnd productions of all southern Europe. Equal Education. More than one thousand young wo men have graduated during the past month, from Vassar, Wellesley, and other institutions, a fact which shows that tho higher education of woman is receiving a small share, at least, of that attention which its importance demands. Let's have educated daugh ters along with educated sons. Some may doubt the propriety of co-educa tion of the sexes, but equal education is an accomplished fact,ai d this is one of the hopeful signs of the times. A minister was ridding through a section of the Stale of South Carolina where -custom forbade innkeepers to take pay from the clergy who stayed with them. The minister in question took supper without prayers ot grace, and was about lo take his departure when mine host presented his bill. "Ah, sir," sa'd he, *'I am clergy man!" ^'That may be," responded Boniface, "but you came hero, smok ed like a sinner, and ale and drank like a sinner ; and now, sir, you can pay like a sinner. General Sherman, who burnt At lanta and Columbia, ami who is noth ing but an educated vandal, is oppos ed to introducing collar ornament to indicate rank because the Confede rates wore them. Eh, hem 1 This moves that unappreciated paper, the Richmond Slate, to say: "That's right, General; for wc should hate to sec you wear the badges of honor that distinguished such true soldiers of Lee nnd Jackson frommen of your commoner mould." It is not woll for teachers to love their pupils uucqually; or, if they do, they should not show it, for one will he made proud, the other envious, and both foolish. Impartiality is the crowning virtue in a school-room. We have yet received no answers to the questions asked a few weeks since.

The Neighbor, now?1870?ill its (wellth year, continued an Advocate ot Christianity ?Peace and Good will?as opposed to War or aught else that is contrary to Love. As nn Independent Organ of Christian ity and Methodism the Neighbor seeks to establish Pence in its Divinely ap pointed supremacy in the Household, the School, the Church, the Stato and the World. The number of the present, generation, who believe with the early disciples of Christ, that Christianity and War are contrary, one to tho other, is hopefully on the increase. In aid of the further rcestablishment. of this faith and prac tice of Primitive Christians, the Neigh bor continues on unswerving advocate. The Neighbor circulates in moie than thirty States of the Union, and has been found to bo an excellent advertising medium ; yet. only one page can be ap propriated to advertisements, and these must be select.
