Mr. Editor: I have read with interest your offer of a prize to the subscriber who forms the greatest namber | of words from the letters in Education. I think that your offer is exceedingly liberal, and there should be a great many contestants. Tne word from which the letters are taken is happily choscn, for it will be educating in itself to indulge in thr word study, to say nothing of the chance of winning a prize in June, just at the time when m;>ney is scarce. Should a farmer get a hundred dollars at that season, it will help him materially in making his crop. Reader. A MISSION AjKl'5 aiiSJt"U?xc^JO. The sad news of Dr. J. M.

He was more like the French soldier than any ! other, though most people xon'.J not I think s\ The Frcnch soldier Wire [ Iuo?e, negligee uniforms. The German soldier was stiflUaced, and according to Judge Mackev wore corsets. Thelictnre was filled with thrilling incidents of the late war, without regard to whether the heroes were Federals or Confederates. The Judge predicted a war with Spain, and said that in sixty days the United States would recognize the beligerencv of Cuba- He thought'that a war with Federals and Confederates marching under one flag would unite the North and South; that history taught us that no people who had been estranged by civil war were ever again thoroughly narmon.ze i unui tney joiueu. xorces m anotb r war under the same flag.

No Reckless Assertion For sick headache, dyspepsia, malaria, constipation and biliousness, a million people endorse TUTT'S Liver PILLS THE TEACHERS* ASSOCIATION". An Essay by S. H. Booth Delivered at a recent Meeting: of the Teachers' Association, at 3>It Zion College. A Teachers' Association when rightly used is of inestimable benefit to all who participate in iis work. Me:i of every profession need to know each other and txebange vie.vs in I to snrv.AfwL This is Succittllv ! fnie of uac!icr> in onr public schooR As soon as ono moves out another takes his place. Ir i-? of vast importance 'hat the luster should know the former tcachei's methods of work, lie can ihen readily and accurately see the condition of the school, Mid quietly pursue ti e pUns of ??is j-rcd'icf.sfor, or introduce such innovations as he sees fit. We ofien meet those who occupy various positions in regard lo our schools. We must act with discretion to win the confidence aod esteem of all. Getting hold of the affections of our people is essential to complete success. The potter caDnot fashion the c!av unless he has it UDaer his control'. There are talented men and women in every community, manv of whom are ready to aid u?, and others could be induced to do so, if they knew whit to do. We must find something for these people to do and set them to work. There is ample room for every one to do something to advance the cau?2 of education. * Some teachers excel in (caching one branch of study, some in another; one is an expert disciplinarian, another almost fails lo govern at all. Realizing these facts, wc feel the need of this organization where we may oxchange. views and profit, by each other's experience. Upon this principle this association is bas-ed. Obstacle?, great and laborious, often confront us and impede oar progress, and we need- the ]e?crs of advice placed upon the fulcrum of experience to remove them. The teacher must equip himself for the wcrk before him, or he can not hope to succeed. He mast be a practical mar. wiih an educated intellect and with indomitable energy. The ttact.cr who s'reuuously persists in adhC'ing to old methods, runniui in a perpetual rut, may expcci to be strauded upou the shores of popular indiflerence. Let him with scru:inous eye look well to the management of his school and revolutionize it if necessary. Many things we do not know, but remember this organization is a fcbool for us. Il^re we may learn matiy valuable lessons if we all do cur duty. We need the co-operation of the patrons and tru-tees in our meetings. Tbev may not all be cultured mer, but they are men of sound judgment aiid business principles. The trustees are our employers and legal advisers, nnd fchey, too, should understand school management. Their commanding presence and whoL.some advice would greatly enhance the value aud interest of our meetiugo and would bo a source of inspiration to us. Their co-operation may be the dawning of an era ot prosperity to this organization, and consequently to our schools. We must make our meetings interesting. YV e can do this by each of us participating in the exercises. We take much interest in what we do and say. Remember, too, thai the greatest legacy, comt s to the earnest worker himself. The social feature of the organization is valuable. We like to feel the elbow touch and the heart-throb of a brother, beating in unison with ours. We like to hsar the story of his sue cess; it broadens our sympatmes, kindles our ambition, awakens latent energy, and moves the wiil power to do greater things for humanity. Our worK is one of great magnitude. The prosperity of the" country and the destiny of future generations are in our hands. We have the c ildren in our custody. Our work, our authority, and our responsibility is that cf a parent. We train the mind, curb the passions, and arouse Ihe slumbsring faculties of our youih; we instill into tiieir minds habits of diligence, imlu.-try, economy, and self-reliance; we infuse them with great Christian principles of purity, love, truth, and j Trii'fno rrhiMi nrnmnfs Prfl'V motive I and gives color and tone (o every action in life. Such is our work. Let us endeavor to meet the imperative demands upon as. Lot us do grest things for the association and our schools this year. Let us give our best methods and aid each other in our noble work. A$ the busy bee rifles the many flowers of the field of their sweets, and yet lets not the honey betray the flavor of any prevailing nectary; so we may draw from a number of elements. and ttill retaiu our peculiar style.
