Some time ago we vontmed to ask one or two questions, expecting there by to get the views of the teuchors, so as to create a lively and withal a sen sible discussion. But has any one answered? It may bo you wrote j'otu answers but forgot to send Iben?.. . Ali ! that wprd "forgot," how familial' it sounds to your ears. There are but two reasons we can assign for your neglect, aud they are: A square .rel'iisalj or ignorance. Does the shoe 'Iii? Don't all speak at once. In our attempt to answer the ques tions, wc hope no one will think for a eminent that we presume to be infillli ?hie. ' Wo only speak what we believe, and our saying that this is correct or that iucol'icct, does not make itso. We hope you understand us then not as a critic, but an humble seeker after knowledge. Boar with us then while .wo present our opinion on the ques tions asked. We third; the verb "are," ns used in the sentcn.CC, "seven times live are <ihjrujffcivc4' Samt Aller Mike exprcsj ?Sioils, is ihcpneoly arid here are our reasons : Wo say seven limes live is thirty-live, because we evidently mean seven taken live times in thirty-live. Suppose wo say, seven limes one are 'seven, wc would then make "times" the subject of the verb, when really iL is "one," and according to some grammarians "times" is in the objec tive of number. Again, try, "twice two are lour." Incorrect, for the word "two" is used as a singular noun, the name of a number. We ,considcr the adverb "twice" not in construction 'v.i'thjit a).d therefore does not make, it pltual. Again, in a proportion ? : 10:: 12: 2-1, we <io hot read are to 10 as 12 are to 21, but is in eaeli ease. These views are .not particularly our own, but have been culled from grammarians con suited. Finally on this point, would it be incorrect to make ".seven times live" the subject? Then the verb will be singular. In eilherca.se, in our opinion, the Verb should be sin gular. Are we right? If not, give i;s light. School Districts. ; Thp board has indeed devised lib eral things p: setting, o(filownships into school districts. B :t some of us i Cache I s nie gelling a little shaky about the knees for fear that ihis spa cious temple of learning which thev have creeled has not a very solid foundation to rest upon. In 1113' township we only had six public schools lasl year aud they did not run hut. .two and a half mouths. By the new plan we will have; eight. II the school lax is not increased in some Way the free tchools will be open so slioit ii lime thai they will be of, liltlc .beiielil lo ihe county. How 1 ilo wish that the poll lax would go jit) the dogs ! 1 do not mean that we ought to dispense with this fund, but that "we should transfer it from the I heads lo the dogs, many of which are worthless, sheep killing and hen-nest lobbing cure. This should either place more money in Ihe treasury for School purposes, Or it Would decrease iliOvnuinl'cr'of dogs, which in either case, would p:ove a.blessing. A TiCACUKK. Mit.

We should not despise the day of SUiaiMluugS, V/e supul j>.t\<>\> despair because wc are few in number. 1 am confident that the Institute will give the members a new inspiration?it 'has already done so. But is there.not some dan ger-that we will sp'-cck it to death? Wo might relievo the monotony some ny requesting pur leading teachers to demonstrate on the black hoard how they leach certain things; say, giuin-| iiiar, history," tleogruphy, etc., I, for one, wodld lie glad to sil at the feel of ihe Gamaliels of our Institute and learn nil that 1 can of this popular blaclc-boar<l system of leaching.
