As tbe fret schools wfll be opened st an early day, we beg to make a few suggestions to their patrons. Hereto fore the schools have been la opera tion for only n few months In each year, but the present appropriations will be sufflrirtt to support them for perhaps half the year. Now whila pa rents like to complain of the little pro- by their children, and Wbtle their complaints are generally well founded, yet they are themselves In a majority of cases, more at fault than eUber teachers or scholars. En- groaaed In boms affaire, they leave to teachers and chUdren and chance whatever progress may ba made.

Itto true that our patty was not eommttted by tbe action of a conven tion to the support of tbe amendment, but. In tbe course of the campaign, tbe State Executive Committee deemed It necessary to pledge tbe patty, as far as R lay in tbrir power, and tbe ratifl- cation of their action by a very large majority of tba dsmoaraoy at tba polls ladueed many who were opposed to tbe amendment to support tv Tbe State Boporiateadeutof Education will noon issue his dnulnr ordering the early opening of the schools, sad the tittle boys aad gtito moot boot up their boon and loach baskets, while the teachers are oultivatlog their pa tience sod cutting switches.
