Isaac Brown, of Bochester, spoke to the children of the different grades in the schools yesterday on bees, birds and insects. Mr. Brown has done much good and should be invited to speak in our next farmers' institute. He has made a study of this subject for many years and makes an elegant speech. A new wrinkle is being advocated in many parts of the country in connection with the public schools; namely, bath rooms, and the day is perhaps not far distant when no school will be complete without them. The object of the movement is cleanliness. The supposition is that the mothers of children usually see that their bodies are kept clean, their faces washed and their hair combed: but this is not always true and when the bath room becomes an adjunct to the public school building, a sat of rules will be provided no doubt requiring school children to bathe themselves "once or twice" during the term, more or less.
