Repeated wetting and drying injures, sooner or later, any kind. of mood work ; the moisture getting in to the cracks soon be g ins 'the work of decay. This may Iprevented by the tituely and Occasional application of some cheap paint. Much has been said and written upon the value of toil-lionses, and it is hardly necessary for us to add our mite to,tbe gen , rya array ; hitt providing the tool-house 'is not all that should be done, if the shov43, spades and forks are brought into•ithe tool-house with the dirt sticking to them, and in that condi-1 tion'aie allowed to remain through the, winter, or until they arc again needed. All praCtical farmers ktiow t i .how much better a bright plow turns • the, furrow, how much easier it is-on the team and driver; and yet they will bring their plows and barrows in every mi . with the dirt sticking to them, and let them be so until want ed,-maeli to their own loss. There are yarions mixtures which might be applied to the iron to pre \-"eilt.a rusting, the cheapest of which is common (ilisatted)-grease. A bet: • ter article may be formed by melting I together six' pounds of fresh (not salted) lard and two .of resin.

Ely supinhoity of method. And thiS iotpeHority of method, on what does it depend? Upon the fact that the teacher knC,ws how to bring into play the. iittellectuid-poweN of the pupil ; . that he addresses himself to the pupil's reason, and MA to.liis memory ; and that be vig orously applies this aphorism : First, comprehend ; then learn. A method is more or less good, as it coot plies in:ire or lesS closely with the de- I Mini , n of instruction given by Saint Thomas. "To instruct," says he, "is to produce Fi.:9lce in others by favoring the development of their natural reason, not the development of their memory." From this it follows, that a master who address es himself to the memory rather than to the intelligence of the child, who obligest the pupil to commit to Are.:(rt and' recite less,Ms which often lie (15)es nut compre hend, practises a false method, contrary to all pedagogical principles and to the must elementary notions of psychology ; Ire Misses his aim, losesibis time. and nu poses an ungrateful task upon the child.

Frenfh. of L'Alsbe Lag ce.. have been rejected ; this being about one and one-half per cent. leSs that were re jected at the spring examinations of this year. There are .alSo from fifty to seven 'ty.tive teachers holding permanent and professional certificates in the county. The teachers and visitors who attended the examinations must say 'that the Su perintendent conducted the examinations impartiVy, and in such a way as to tilos oughlyitest the knowledge and ability of the applicants. We had the privilege of examining the questions, and know that the questions were such as can be found in any of the common Arithmetic's, Geographies and Grammars, used in our common schools, TELCHEV.S' EXAVINATIOSS, The written and oral method of exam inations wlere combined in Arithmetic and . Grammar ; thus giving those a Chance to show their ability, orally if they could not on paper, and eke versa. This man ner of examining is ' - hirer for the teacher, ai.d gives the, examiner a better cliace to judge of the 9tialificationS of the applicant. We beliefe. that there has been no favoritism in- granting certifi cates, but that the directors can believe' that any teacher who presents a certifi cate has truly merited the same by his or her examination. This is as we believe it should be ; the Superintendent who per mite his personal feelings to affect him in granting or refusing certificates is nt4' fit to be,,ia servant of the people. Parents, friends and teachers sometimes judge harshly of the Superintendent, because he may have refused to grant certificates to their children,, friends; or to them. To these we would say, that you are not as impartial a judge as the Superin tendent is likely to be ; you are apt to be prejudiced in favor if, your relations, friends, or yourself—but the Superintend ent judges of the work presented to hice at the examination, and taking into con sideration'the kind of school taught when visited by him. - We think the Connty Superintendent is hying to do what has been advocated time and again ..t the Teaehers' 'Associa tion—that the standard, of qualification should be raised. The necessity of it is acknowledged by all ; and yet when the remedy is aypiled many are disposed to complain, and think it should he sonic one else:- We think this course will be much better for the schools of the county; and consequently for the people. We again iirue the directors to . examine the t'rti:rieates of the teachers before they employ them. -The persons holding certi ficates for one year average tee* than tiro, while those holding certificates (for one. half year on ly,average from tut,' to three. ;This will give the directors' a clufnce t 0 . see at a glance who holds the bettor grade of certificate. The Superintendent has also written on the certificate tie number ,4if days "atteuded institute," which should be remembered will show how touch pro fes,iimal zeal theJ s teacher may have. ' We befieve that if the directors of the county will heed these things, and make a distinction in pay according, to the grade of certificates and professional zeal, much "f the complaint of poor teachers will be removed. The .Superintendenthas done all this work for you, and the question now is, wbetLer you will wont by it or not, Let the future-adlancement of teachers awl education in the country show that we are alive and ready, and u illing to do all in our power to help the cause, and thereby help out children to better means of edue.dion. OF METHOD I 1 IN3TRUCTION Iffil SCHOOL YISITATION..—There is much too little school visitation. Neighbors gener ally visit each other .. rhea on good terms,. and when they do not it is .generally a sign that thy are "out" witlteach other. If this rule were to -be applied to our school patrors, it would show that the majority of.the people were "at outs" with the school system. People scarcely realize the good efrect. school visitation has. It encourages teach er and pupil ;and also gives the parent a chance tojudge of the ability and success of the teacher from personal observation. If a nian were hired to herd forty oxen, the owner would undoW.tedly go and see what the man in charge was doing, and whether the oxen .were doinz. well ; yet parents will send their children to school, tern after term, and yet not go near the school to see what the teacher is doing. Business maxims apply to school mat- ters as well as to other business. - We hope people can comprehend this simple illustration,.draw their own conclusions, and wilt act accordingly.
