ifiarMent .• • _ WINTER-Dumont - Fatirr Tun. "—The winter dressing of fruit trees .has beextfistated On by most writers on ^Mal gardening, and no doubt acting on the principle that -preven tion is better than cure, the fact be inc. -that the remedy for a severely infested plant, whether with insect or fungus, is not unfrequently as bad as the disease itself. It has been held, and may still be held by some, that the winter dressing of vines, etc, is useless, as the insects are then dormant and proof against the insecticide. As to that,' must con :fess to having but faint-knowledge of insect life, •and I do not think en tomologists have placed before us the requisite information. Yet even a tyro in gardening "knows that the brown or, peach aphis is active upon the shoots of the peach and nectarine during the winter as w(11 as the summer months; that 7,birvn scale remains „through the 'inter upon shoots which it has ob tained, a footing upon during the sluinuer ; that mussel scale holds te naciously to the bark of girlie arid par trees; that mealy bug and spi der. when plants they infest become leafless, seek out the rough parts of the bark, beneath which they creep, shielded alike . froui- cold and wet; that the whele.tribe of aphides are „more or less active during the win q. t. months; and that the ' 'thrips are 'not more given to pass the winter in otiScurity than slugs. Now such insects, abiding - with the subjects upon - which *they feed, are just as vulnerable to an insecticide in.winter - as at any other season, and often more so from their being more closely congregated ; and further, the • antidote being capable, - of application 'at a strengtthat , would be fatal to the tender. shoot and foilage, a win ter dressing is of much value. I have tried most insecticides, and 'folindall,mOre or less useful. -Nev- - ertheless, for their costiveness, and not: always being at hand when want ed, I have`thought some easily pro cured and readily prepared_ staiwes,"but of which insecticide could .at time be formed, would be de sirable and.acceptahle.

EDUCATING nonsEs.—The Yamhiil Co. (Oregonl Reporter gives some excellent hints in reeird to educating horses, which we copy: Horses can be educated to the ex- tent of their understandings as well -as children, and " can be as easily damaged or ruined by bad manage luent..! We believe that the great ditliirence found in horsis as to vi- 'citais habits or reliability:, comes more from the different management of men, than from variance of natn ral disposition in the animals. Horses with, high mettle are snore easily ed ucated than those of lesi or duller . siArits, and are more susceptible to ill-training. and- consequently* may .be as good or 'bad, according to the • ; education they receive. Horses with dull, spirits are not by any means proof against bad man .apment,- for in them may often be - found the most provoking ,obstinacy: and vicious habitS of different char= actor.' . that render them entirely worthlesS..

SWIM It HIGH SCHOOL ?BATHING• The attention given by educators to the tarn* of instruction in primary and grammar schools, has resulted in improv ed methods, and in somedegree of uni formity in the different sections of our country. , But the wide diversity in the courses - of study in high schools, seems to indicate a heterogeneous condition of the ories and practices in the, higher educa tion. It is my object, not to attack high schools, but to Call attention of teachers to some weak points in high school train ing. It will be generally admitted that graduates of high schools,--?whether En glish or Latin, or both,—whether boys', or girls', or mixed, --ought to have, at least, a fair knowledge of arithmetic, grammar and geograph y and to be able to read, write and spell with some degree of readiness and accuracy. Whatever else is learned or not learned, this minimum should be reached by all. It is generally assumed that pupils reach this minimum in the grammar„ schools, and' also that they have it on leaving_the high school. Is it true of graduates of arewe attain ments? -, Now, it is not easy to ascertain the net results of high school culture. One ,test, and perhaps the severest, is the examina tion of iraduates who wish to become teachers, by examining boards, when ex aminations are conducted in writing' Let me offer a few facts from the .note-book' of an examiner. At a recent examina-, tion, one hundred and fifty applicants were examined._ They were gathered from all parts of our country. There were seventy graduates of high schools, mostly young women. There were rep resentatives from New Orleans, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, and many other cities. There were also College gradu ates,--,one from one of the two leading colleges in New England, several from Southern and Western colleges, and two from the State University of the State in which the examination was held. The -questions in this examination were, in the main, plain, direct and simple. What was the result? The twcV State Universi ty graduates, the New England college i graduate, tisk Southern college graduates, —all young men fresh from college,—fail ed to get even the lowest grade of certifi cate given. They were plucked mainly on what? Arithmetic, grammar, geogra phy, reading, and spelling. Our Univer sity graduate, in the paper on grammar, spelled proper with two p's six successive times, and spelled it in no other way. He obtained 02 per cent, in a simple spelling exercise. _ . The papers on arithmetic were bad,'and on grammar worse. The mis takes and failures were of a kind indicat ing unmistakably that the examiners bad not forgotten, but had never known any thing aboukthe subjects._ One 'of - the high'school graduates oir tained a second grade certificate, one a i third, and the next failed. Most of them fell below fifty per cent. in arithmetic, were poor in grammar, and knew little or nothing of physics; botany and zoology. An oral examination in reading did not show any better results. A* University graduate, in reading a 'stanza of Byron's Apostrophe to the Ocean, read it in violation of all laws of inflection and metrical harmony, and pro nounced arbiter ar-bi'-ter. Most of them seemed to know little or nothing of vowel sounds of our language. The inference drawn from these results is, that such graduates were admitted into high schools and colleges on a very low standard, New, - if pupils, are admitted into high a schools without knowledge of the ele mentsithat constitute the basis of any kind of an edudation worthy of the name, the high school should make good the de ficiency by thorough training in these branches. A knowledge of Latin is' a poor excuse forknorance of our mother tongue; a smattering of French is no ex cuse for murdering English; a knowledge of algebra and geometry cannot make up for deficiencies in arithmetic. • As a matter of fact, pupils admitted in to high schools have only begun the ele rnentary studies; they need a thorough course of training in arithmetic, grammar, geography, word-analysis, reading and spelling, continued during the whole high school coarse. It is properly the work of principals to outline' a course in these studies independent of text books, and to see to it that the drill is carried out by assistants. 1 his need not exclude the studies generally pinned in high schools, though it might possibly limit the extent of some studies. The defect in the know ledge that pupils have on entering the high school, is that it is urtsyslemized. It is a mass of protoplasm, rather thin or ganized mental fibre. That the curricu lum of the high school will be soon mate rially modified in some respects, is to be hoped; that more ' substantial results ought to follow, is certain. The observa tions made upon the results of one exam ination hold true of a long series of ex aminations extending through a period of twelve years. .These examinations have inelnded examinees from every State in the UniOn, and from all kinds of schools, academies, seminaries, and colleges. Oc casionally, examinations may have been puzzliiig 'and technical; but in general those who have failed, have confessed with shame and mortification that they "learned but very little about these things at school." Perhaps these short comings are worth thinking about. Occmarr. Tnn above rather lengthy article has been inserted, hoping that all grades of schools may be benefitted and greater thoroughness required in the important branches above mentioned. A. leading teacher who prides himself on attain ments in English grammar, in a recent litter, wrote Teachers' Associating with the apostrophe before the s, and the words Yriday and Saturday were com menced with a small letter. •We mention these only to illustrate the importance of thorougAness in elementary branches. Sin!Drs has fixed upon; 1889, u the date when the Metric" system shall be obWory in the nation. Swedish roar -chants and Manufacturers are rapidly in troducing the metric measures, and it is believed that the system will be in full operation in that country within three or four years. The text books will soon be revised and contain the metric instead of theeltunsy old system.

PROF. SE! EN: J. COFFIN, the distin guished Profess(ii 'of Astronomy and Matbetnatics of Lafayett College, and formerly a teacher in the Collegiate Insti tute of Towanda, recently delivered one of his entertaining. and instructive lec tures before the Teachers' Institute, at Wilmington, Delaware, by special, re quest. The Wib3iington Commercial thus refers to it : "There was an unusually large attend ance, not only of teachers and members of the Board of Education, buf .of citizens generally, yesterday afternoon; to hear Prof. Coffin's lecture on Astronomy, be fore the Wilmington Teachers' Institute, in No:1 school. The lecturer is Professor. of of Astronomy . in Lafayette College, at Easton, Pa., and is perfectly familiar 'with the subject. The Professor had with him a number of handsome charts belonging to the college, to illustrate his lecture, which appealed to the understanding di rectly through the sight. The _plan for measuring the distance from the earth to the sun, and the distances between the planets, was fully explained, and the dif ferent theories advanced of the cause of spots on the sun. Charts were exhibited, lexplaining the different ; .phases and changes of the nebnlar bodies, how that some of them are bec d ming less, others growing larger, and still new ones form ing. The lecture, throughout; was one of the most instructive ever delivered before the Institute, not merely for new theories advanced, but for the perfect illustrations and clear explanations following, which • were something new to most of those present." TuE West Vi:Oda Educational Monthly speaks to the point as follows : "How may the character of a school be kiown ? To parents who are seeking a temporary educational home for their sons and daughters, this is a very serious question. The question is, aside from advertisements, • catalogues, teachers, commendation of interested friends, most satisfactorily answered by reference to the character of thii pupils. If a t s chool sends out young men over the country, who make their vacations seasons of drunkenness and profane dissipation, and , carry this immoral exhibit to such excess Ss to render themselves notoriously of• fensive to all respectable society, people who know can well understand that such deportment is not •an untried and" new line of conduct, but the result of well established habits of dissipation._ Parents of intelligence and proper moral feelings will not need firther evidence of the char. acter of the school that is thus significant ly represented. Rotnisoxr r in Higher Arithmetic, states that every example in proportion may be stated by cause and effect, by using the form, Ist Cause : 2d Cause : : Ist Effectl 2d Effect. Several weeks ago we asked_ teachers to give their methods of stating, by the above mode, the following problem or a similar one, and no solutions have been given. The , example is very easy by other methods, but we belieVe many teachers encounter trouble in solving by Cause and Effect. PitOBLEM ‘.- 1 If a ba ker's loaf weigh. 10 ounces when wheat is 6 shillings per bushel, what should it weigh when wheat is 12 shillings per bushel?" We suggest the following, to bring it under Robinson's formula : As 1 bushel, the amount of wheat for 6 shil lings-Ist Cause, is to bushel of wheat, amount for 6 shillings at 12 shilling's per bnshel-2d Cause; so is 10' ounces (Ist Effect) to the answer, 5 ounces-2d Ef fect. PENNSYLV.LiIiy in 1770, had eight pub lic libraries : one at Chester, the Chester Library, founded in 1769, with 1500 vol umes; one at Lancaster, the Juliana Li brary, founded in 1770; with about 1,000 volumes; and six in Philadelphia. Of those in Philadelphia, that of Christ's Church was founded in 1098, and contain ed 800 volumes; that of the fcrur Monthly Meetings of Friends was founded in 1742, and contained 111 volumes; the Loganian Library was founded in 1745 and contain-, ed 4,300 volumes. The Pennsylvania Hospital founded a_ library in 1762, and the University in 1755. PROBLEM.-" How far from the end o f a stick of timber of uniform • size and weight, and 20 feet long, must two men place a lever to cm , two-thins of the stick,—the other end being supported by a third man ?" The following is , the shortest solution : The centre of gravity is at the centre of magnitude, 10 feet from each end. Since the men with the lever are to carry tyke as much as the third man who is 10 feet from the centre of gravity, they must be half an far from the centre of gravity, of 10 fee..s feet. PROP. H. A. Ford, of Michigan, reports that the present system there of township superintendent', as,,contrasted with the county system, is a failure.
