The joint teacher’s institutes of 1890-91 haye been more largely attended by teachers, school officers and patrons than any of those before in the county.

A majoi ity of the school trustees of Geneva and ten of ±he town ship trustees of Adatns county were ip attendance at the Geneva institute last Sat urday. ■>Higb water prevented the attendance of a few 4?f our worthy and energetic teachers. ipti.q thj» institute enrollment was one hundred and hiquty. right, and no teacher to whom duty was ass.gucj, to perform his or her part, or asked JG jHf,cuced. * Adams county schools are in a flourishing and prosperous condition, her teach Crs are energetic and progressive, her school trustees are each determined tQ. fiave nothing undone that may add to the advancement to the cause of education.

About tv> er.ty f,ve ladies of town met lit the eonimailious resieeuce es George Brown last Friday ami spent the may f u sewing carp, t rags, while they talite iof by-gone days. They report having had a very plcai-ant tune the rlay in renewing acquaintances,. If the young people of this town as well as perhaps ot'other towns should but realize the many golden moments that are being idled away, how many would employ their time’ini a diti'erent way. The important question that they should ask themselves is, "What shall we do with our leisure time?” For there is none of us but what have more or less leisure time. Some, alas! Shah seem to have no other desire concerning it, but*to enjoy themselves in any possible way. Such desire is to be despised and counted as one that is selfish and narrowminded. Man's first duty to his fellow-man, as well as to himself, is to prepare for that calling or vocation in life which is ennobling, and elevating, while his examples should be sueh that are imitation. In order to do this it is necessary that we make us’e of the spare moments in such away tnat by improving them, we will each be able and competent to perform wcil our part in tiie drama of life. By a careful consideration we draw a- a conclusion that our spar'e hours should be spent not in light and I'rivilous talk, self-seeking pleasure, inn in acquiring a solid and lasting improvement us the mind. -The question is how may tills be done? We would answer in itiauy ways. But one effectual «ay is by reading good books,and the books should be pure aud elevating and which will give ys more breadth of character,’increase our mental faculties, give us greater scope of mind aud a stronger love tor that which is pure mid noble. Although where one reads ( 'good books, ten read the low, trashy literature which flood our country and like crawling serpents find their way into the model home and plant the seeds of vice and aim morality into the minds ot' boys and girls, until at last we find them far ou the road ot sinfulties*. What a : blessing it would be if the young people could see iIA-X* many pitfalls before it is too late. ; For the Stake of ourselves as well as those around us, we should make an effort to improve our leisure moments in such away tliat we tnaj/ali become bright mid shining'lights j ?U s ,'ci€t v. uti honor to uur parents, as well as thLs, the Lome of brave and land of the I*”' - I —intion or all PhvbiGians Presci.. . ’ NachtrltfV’s Accurately compounded ...
