I have a dog that runs to the road when he hears a car coming, and it seems as if h« likes tq speak to them. A* this car of,people were passing by the door my ; dog ran q^t to the road and they shot at him in front of the house, which is. right at Jhe road. I think that there are too many cars for a man to let a car run Jiim a fool, and I will reward any man *50 who will’And him out and bring him to ®e. They are white people: M. C. FRALIX.

Such aks^nce on the part , of the cMl.d Is a moral wrong committed against its classmates. Tl\e rgte of progress in a study can only be such as the whole class can sustain., and any dead weight due to such absence will retard the pro gress of the whole class. The moral aspect of this question should b* presented and explained to the child bv the parent as we - )! as the teacher. Want of> punctuality ranks next to absence in its evil effects upon chil dren. It often seems a hard matter to get the children off to school promptly, but ^ bqlieve that care ful planning and organization of tl* household duties will in most cases overcome the difficulty. Many de sires have been tried by the schools to overcome this evil, hut verv lit tle Van be done without the whole- heartfd co-operation of the home. The Hacking of the Home. *The school law says that th** teacher is in (he place af the par ent. and if teachers are expected to incubate habits of obedience, self- control. reverence, for sacred things and respect for higher authority’, they must have the. sympathetic hacking of the-home. This support will"not hr given by parents who believe all sorts of idle tales taqg school and discuss the teacher-Tn VKe presence of the pupils. Teach ers occasionally make mistakes, bat. such mistakes arC far harder ,to avoid in the management of thirty or forty children than in the man agement of-a? small family. L^yaltv begets cheerful service, and the slogan of the town ought to be: Stand by the School! , .„ Thing* to he Remedied. When a school Is overcrowded Ht is rot only a menace .to/the health of the whole community, but it is also impossible to give sufficient in dividual attention to the pupil*. The only way to avoid-these evils is to add to the capacity of the building and to employ more teachers. An examination of the enrollment of the lyalterboro ''school shows that in the primary department the num ber of teachers is out of all propor tion to the number of children. The high school inspector, after visit ing this school, said that it needed ’more space and more teachers. IHi-:, til other teachrEgr*^ ** be. necessary’ to divide the first twb primary grades intp -two sessions each. It is the opitffoti of the sup erintendent that "at least two moX teachers are needed. A visit to/the primary department will convince 'iinv fair-minded person. Additions to the High Schqtvl Course The addition of WU'.tjyry training. | agriculture, and domosfir science to the curriculum of the high school I should be regarded^as. a distinct ad-j vantage and not twi innovation.
