Another reason why.our system has -prown into disfavor .with our people, nntl il is a defect .which is chnrgeahh mainly upon,teachers, is the great diversity of school books. Loud and frequent complaints were made oi Jhis evil when the State Board of Ex ?amuicrs established a series of text .books to be used in the public schools dor Jive years. As Boon as our people .understand the now departure they Avill take more kindly to the system. Again, the supervision of School Commissioners, school trustees and parents, is very defective, and by .their neglect to develop tho system .have learned to prate about the ineffi ciency und inutility of tho system. Our people do uot take enough inter ?st in sucti matters. Very few mani fest uny euro or sympathy for the teacher in his arduous labors. It has l>oon urged that our system is a cut ting from the New England plan and .tor that reason is not adapted to the particular circumstances of our peo ple. We admit tho first but deny the second clause of the asscition. I! people would take the interest in school matters thai is taken by our New England friends, if our people would follow the old Puritans in their visits to the school to learn the man lier of teaching, to see whether the school master teaches, whether there is a God or not, whether the Iliblc is ihc word of God or a cunningly de vised fable; to suggest improve ments ; to encourage the scholars and to cheer the teacher, nntl to rcwaid merit with the smiles of approbation, they would discover that they have wrongly judged the system. Let our school officers perfect our plan of op erations then it will be a ??system" in .deetl, and will rellcct honor upon its mother. Don't let ns blame the sys tem for what we ourselves arc charge able with. Another objection to the system is Ahe manner in which the public fund has been distributed. Outside of the enormous amounts annually appro priated by the Radicals when in pow or, and which amounts it seems we arc compelled to pay again, one of toe most serious diflicultics in the way of a fair distribution and ceo nomieal expenditure of the public school funds, is the present inequali ty of school districts, and until we rearrange many of the present dis trict lines in many localities, we can jiot secure the best results by any method of dividing the money. In .many of these townships there arc .seven or eight schools with an aver age daily attendance ol perhaps fif teen?then we have sonic schools with an average of fifty or (Ifly-five. Jn such cases it is highly expedient to change the lines and then better results in expending the nionc}- would .follow. The money that is scattered .over three or four schools should be concentrated on one and make that one iflicieut. More good would re sult, a larger school would be estab lished, more cnlhusiam aroused, and (better teachers could be employed, and everything would be more advan tageous. Wo might state some minor defects ,in our system, but t4ic.se can and will be corrected by time, and as soon as our people get iu harness well. Jn ,tho meantime let the friends of edu cation ventilate, the subject. Venti late 1 Not This Time. We have received a paper advising <us of the early departure of the .??Woodruff Scientific Floating Col lege," and advising us to join the ex .corsion. The managers of the vessel proposo to employ a faculty of the best scientists lite land affords, form regular classes, with daily recitations and scientific conversations, issue an illustrated daily newspaper, report ing the discoveries and researches of Hie party, anil with this grand "Float ing College" circumnavigate the globe. After protracted deliberation ami much consultation wc find we ^nn't take tho trip this lime. We ob served that the small sum of 83,000 in advance, wouhl have to be deposit ed. This small consideration rather had a bearing on our decision ; and then considering the low price of cot ton, and the fact that School Hoards are continually paring down salaries, and in view of the fact that we might contract the cholera in Japan, or ho eaten b}* sonic Cannibal of the South Sea Islands, and in view of the un certainty of life and the certainty of death?well, we decided we wouldn't embark just this lime. Think of school teachers getting 830 or 840 a month and "boardin' tound" at thaf, planking down 83,000 cash in the summer lime! Not much margin for the "Scientific Education Excur sion I" Go ahead, Captain, no pas sengers from these parts! THE BEST REMEDY von Diseases of the Throat ana Lungs. ' Diseases of tho v^fT?l?yS& pulmonary organs uro so prevalent und fatal, tlmtii sufu and reliable remedy for thuin is invaluablu to every community. Ay Kit's Cherry Pectoral Is such a r o m e d y, and no other so eminently merits tho confi dence of tho public. It is a scientific com bination of tho medi cinal principles and ugHbOiirative virtues of JaSl'the flnost drugs, PFf!TARAI. chemically united, rcvivftnu. to illfJlir0 tho great est possible efficiency and uniformity of re sults, which enables physicians as well us invalids' to use it with confidence. It is tho must reliable remedy for discuses of tho thront and lungs that BCionce hits pro duced. It strikes ut tho foundation of alt pulmonary discuses, affording prompt nnd certain relief, and is adapted to pa tients of any ago or cither sex. Uomg very pnlatablo, tho youngest children tnko it without difficulty. In the treat ment of ordiunry Coughs, Coldo, Sor? Throat, Bronchitis, Influonza, Clor ?ynmii'o Boro Thront, Ant hum, Croup, und Catorrh, tlio effects of Aykr'b Cheery Pectoral aro magical, and multi tudes aro annually preserved from norlous Illness by its timely nnd faithful uso. It should bo kept at hand in every house hold, for tho protection it affords in sud den attnclts. In Whooping-cough and Consumption tlicro is no other remedy bo efficacious, soothing, nnd helpful. Tho marvellous euros which Atkr'b CliKKRY Pectoral has effected all ovor tho world are u sufficient guaranty thnl it will continue to produce the best results. An impartial trial will convince tho most sceptical of its wonderful curative powers, as well as of its superiority over nil other preparations for pulmonary complaints. Eminent physicians in nil pnrts of tho country, knowing its composition, recom mend Ayer's CllEUKY Pectoral to inva lids, nnd prescribe it in tlieir practice Tho test oi half a century has proved ita absoluta certainty to cure all pulmonary complaints not already beyond tho reach of humnu aid. , , .

As an Independent Organ of Christian ity and Methodism, thw Neighbor peeks to establish Peace in its Divinely ap pointed supremacy in the Household, the School, the Church, the State 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 the other, is hopefully on the Increase. In aid of l|io Itirthcr r< establishment .of this faith and prac tice of Primitive Chi ist bins, the Neigh bor continues an unswerving advocate.
