would have no time to reply before the election. Mr. Clodfelter lias bcenijuitei definite enough in his charges against the Auditor, and it remains to be seen
whether or not the people believe he has made out a good ease.

thatour teachers take so much pains, to have their pupils attend constantly and punctually. But how is it with those who leave school before the close? In
the first place they leave on a whim. They think they are tired, when in fact they are only lazy, and need a little spurring up. Hut they are sulK-ivd to leave and when school re-opens and
they find that they are assigned to second and third clas-is. where they properly belong, they are di— atisfied, and as they left school on a whim, they are allowed .o remain out on an ther whim and so it nops. One evil begets another, and
the two evils which amount to but one---
absenteeism—swindle the children out
of their education. What can be done?! 11 is sincerely hoped that every parent who now has children in school will see to it that they attend regularly and promptly to the close.
Our schools ate opening out well. The teachers all appear to be in earnest. F.very one is striving to make his school a success. If a cord, a hook, a ribbon, a picture, a hanging basket, or anything
of the kind is needed to make the school room cheerful and attractive to the pupils, the professional teacher does not wait for donations. It is gotten. Such are the indices to profc.-si.jual pride and such a teacher can not be too liberally compensated. On his table may be seen
books of reference anil methods and
other evidences of professional worth. His very presence inspires his pupils, and awaken- in them a generous emulation. •He is a beacon light on a sunny shore. Hi.-worth can not lie-estimated.
