DISTRICT INSTITUTES
c. Thiteaelids : of Towarida Trorougtt have
kept up the district institutes' for the Past I
six years ;'the School Board has required
then. to teach only • twenty days for a I
month. The Principal of the school has
generally taken charge . orthe institutes, •
laid , ont, the work, and saw that it,
was properly Clone. • Them is not a teach
er: nor a school patron in the district,
ho wishes these institutes discontinued.
That thesamcetings are calculated to
improve the teachers in qualifications,
incr,:p4e their zeal in the 'work, and
that the teorle receive ibe benefit in, and
tht ongh the school, noVne tv',ll deny. We
have al4o'noticed that these district insti
tutes arc being field ir• different parts 'of
the county during the past year. We are
. miali illeased to see that the teacheis and
' , ogle are
,liecoming more intereted in
• Chic work ; •is an evidence of advance-
Trent and progress.
often the case that teachers in . the
toWnships ma} teach for four or rive
' months in the same district ant' not see
each other, or get a chance to become ac
'4uainted with each other. There is noth
jag, inore valuable to the teacher, - than to
•meet with a f!'llow- teacher with whom be
may co:muse freely in regard to the trou
bles awl difficulties he or she may have in
school. A-hint or 'a, suggestion may prove
great value to the teacher, while, if he
deprived of it, may fail for want of it.
'chese institutes mill bring the teachers
of the township in contact with each oth
er : gives them a chance to become tic
qilinted, a.nel act in • unison, and with
uniformity throughout the township. ,
At tihese institutes, if properly manag
ed, there w:i: not only be instruction in
• the branches taught, but also questions of
:. - -ivertimeat and discipline decided, how
inneh time to be allotted to certain
branches, the order in which the recita
tionS shout I to heard, and many other
questions of vital importance 'will be
brought up and - properly discussed and
disposed eic : These are questions of wittich
a teacher cannot be too well informed.
These institutes were held in the ma
of townships when tho law was
;lest pasied, and were discontinued be
cause the teachers did not Conduct-the in
stitutes properly. It was often the case
• then, that the teachers would meet and
Wgood jolly time, but would not do
.the work there was to do, and of course
no .good results followed, consequently
4 - the dire:tots and people said, these dis
trict institutes are of no good, and we'
Brill require the teacher./ to teach twenty
' two dayslor a month.
No one waSt.o blame but the teachers.
They did not use the privileges the law
and the directors had granted them, as it
- was intended they should. The law per
Mitt ingthe board of direetors to establish
the distiiet institutes roAkdaplatem the ila z
pre:,,rentent of the ziclwot by iilipr9ciny the
feathers. .
NVe conliifler it necessary to speak of
'thesethings in order that the teachers of
the county institutesare held
'may not, fall into the same error, but
inake the best f,if the chances given tbeni
for improvement.
SiAlool Directors have a duty too. Who
board should so arrange it - that one of,
their number be present at each meeting
tt i e institute, and report to the h:rard
what is befog
dime. Directors must show
• 4•
an interest; 4ti the work of the teacher's:,
and the teelters must be•iiilling to work•
In this way. and itt this gray o h ly, can

Wr: clip the following artiele on :char-

`task a careful perusal of it by the teachers

on school teacher has much to do with
formation of character of the pupils

their responsibility in this respect
‘Jstrifirettin rtiany.do nowote shall expect
al/ the teaelti. , rs to exercise the greatest
care uC

When parents scalize some of the facts
as stated in this articlu,__they : will also be
more careful in the employment of teach
ers, and employ only thoin who have un
exceptionally good moral characters, and
habits of perseverance, industry, studi
otisness, and sobriety
nAnAciul•
Charaker is formed unconsciously fur
tire-most. part. It is the product of cir
coMstances, of association, of family and
social influences. Whert parents take n
liver interest in the welfare of their
drum it is in their poweir to shape their
;destinies. Their own example exerts the
• trongest influence, Children l9ok up to

wir not fire to suppose to be 1 ight. Par
qits* eounsels arc a law totheir actions
i)arents' vitillCF, infirmities and passions
!are instinctively imitated ; helpless tilem-
selves, children turn to their p ' arents fur
a proper tide of conduct. Profligacy. dis

ity and indecency of life exert such a de
inthern:e that they never fail
to CArrupt the rising i:eneration. Thorn
is an ascetii i severity which repels and
disgusts, because it partakeS of hypocrisy
and is impracticable. It is noted that
children trained nuder such influences be
come insincere, perfidious and .immoral;
being driven into the opposite extreme by
the aversion to the despotic retraints to
which they have been subjected. lirank=
ra-ss, generosity and forbearaffee, on the
contrary-, inspire respect, confidence and
love. Children are always accessible •to
reason.i' They like to be treated as rep
satiable beings. They more'readily- 01,4
- when the reason of the command is ex
plained to them. Obedience, also, is more:,
readily yielded when it is not exacted ar-j
hitrariiy, and only for proper purposes.
Harshness, cruelty and domagtic absolut
ism lead to stubbornness, alieuation of af
feetion and perverseness. Explain to a
child that what is asked of him is ;for his
own betietit, and be will readily undet‘,

Atitt)t character is sometimes disfortod

current of his life is turned awry. He
may not at first observe the corroding ef

til finally he is but a shadow of his form

the purity of life. Vicious habitii grow

TFIE Graded School at East Smithfield
• will close on Friday, March 7th, with an
entertainment to be held in the - ,Baptist
Church—the proceeds to be used for the
purpose of purchasin apparatus for the
school. Prof. I. S. Crawford has conduct
ed this school succesSs ly for the past
year, and we regret to lea th the is
about to leave the county: John ,R.
French, LL,D.; the Principal of the State
Normal School at Indiana, has offered Mr.;
Crawford a position, and we are informed
that he lea:es for that place the day after
his school -chisel , . We guarantee that
whatever work May be assigned Lim, will
be faithfully performed. Mr. Crawford
has hosts of friends in the county, and all
unite in wishing him success in his new
field of labor. .
SEi.Ec-rros or Scitoor. Books.—lt may
be true that the teachFrs holding perma
ner.t and professional certificates, are better
al/le and capable 'to select s,ehricil books
than hny other persons, bu , Vas they are
nut elected by the people, mid ara reApon,-
507,7 e to no one, we would think they
would not be very suitable in case the
people would be compelled to 'bay what
ever they ;night. say is the book. Under
all the circumstances, we can think of no
plan that is better suited to our needs
than the present system, by which the di
rApliirs 'who are elected by the people,
and are`responsible to them for their con
duct, they selecting the books, 'giving dtie
weight to the recommendation of the lead
ing teachers of the county.
WE were pleased with the notes and
cpinion of visits to the schools, of the
County Superintendent. The SuPerin
tentleut finds much to commend in many
schools,and also makes suggestions for
improvements lu others. This course we
think will tend to stimulate the teachers
to renewed activity, in becoming better
teachers. The people • throughout the
county have the means of knowitig, who
are good teachers and who are not. , . The
directors who desire -to employ firSt,elass,
teachers, will do well to consult the notes
of the Superintendent when they ldre for
another term ofschool.
WE hope the resoultion'adopted by the
Teachers' Association at Caution,
,in
gard to outbuildings, will be carefully
read, and the suggestions heeded by the
directors in the several townships. The
carelessness and negligence manifested
by the School Directors in regard to out,
buildings in many townships is outrage
ous and shameful.
TIIE importance of teaching the use a
diacl Rica) marks was discussed at the last
meeting of the Association, and a resolu
tion was adopted declaring a.teacher not
tit to lia've a certificate,. Who is not able,

The Freeman= of Harness;
Though the harness is an article of
everyday use, there\are few who
know how how to care for it so as to
insure its durability, and, to keep it
looking clean and neat. 'A harness
that has been on a horse's back sev
eral hours in wet or * rainy weather
beComes wet, and if not pthperly
leaned, the damage to the leather is
i veparable~ If, after being, taken
fro` the horse in this condition it is
hung \ up in a careless manner, truces
and it • ins twisted into• knots, the
1 ,1
saddles nd bridles hung askew, the
leather 'en dried retains the shape
given it While wet, and - •when
forced to its original , form 'damage is
done to the -'-" and the leath
er. Those 1 ;he harness are
not altoffethi It for this; they
would ta ke l it if they . knew
the extent (1,, that would re-
suit from tin. ..:sness, and that
they do- not is the fault, of the mann-
facturer. It _is a mis‘taken • policy
that leads the manufacturer of any
line Of goods to neglect needed infor
=Lion to the buyer: Every - harness
manufacturer would study 'his own
mterestsby accompanying each liar
ness.Sold- with printed rules for pre
serving- the same. The first point to
be observed is to keep the leather
soft and pliable;"this can be done
by keeping it well charged with
oil. and grease; water . a destroyer
of \these, but mud and the saline
•
tooLE,it \ tire from - the animal, .are even .
more Aeitruetive. Mud, in _drying,
absorbs he grease and opens the
pores of the leather, making it a rea
dy, prey, to water, • while the salty
character fir the persiiiratip . on from
the animal injures the leather, stitch
ings and mountings. It therefo.e
follows that to \preaerve_ a harness
the straps should lie' washed 'and *oil'.
ed whenever it has:\ been 'moistened
.by sweat.or soiled by, mud. To du
effectually the straps should all
be unbuckled and detached, then
(Cashed wiel a little waterand brown
soap, then coated With a nkixture of
neatsfoot oil and tallow and \ be al
lowed to...remain undisturbed, until
tic water has dried out; then \thor-
Oughly rubbed with a wOolen
The rubbing is important, as' it, ' , sin
addition to removing the IsurOus oil
anti grease, tends to clove- the pores'
and gives a finish to the leather. •In
- hanging harness' care be.taken
to allow all straps to hang their full
'length ;bridles,.pads, gig saddles and
collars should be hung upon' forms
of the shape ofeach. Light is essen—
tial-in-the ease - of , leather, and when
the harness closet is dark, the door
should be left open at least halt of
the time during the clay. All closets '
should-be ventilated; and when 'pos
sible they 'should, be well lighted.
To-clean plated mountings,use.a cha
mois with 'a little tripoli. or rotten
stone, but they should be scoured as
: little as possible. Rubber-covered
goods are cleaned in the -same way.
Leather-covered. need to. be well
brushed and rubbed with a woolen
ma . : If a harness is thoroughly clean
ecr twice a'year, and when unduly ex
posed treated as we have recom
mended, the leather will retain its
softness and strength,fofmany years.

ACTORYI
Much as farmers in .the Eastern
States value manure, it is' doubtful
whether most of us as fully appreci
ate it as it (kserves. Few would
row think of putting in any import
ant crop without'anv manure; yet it
is too often at best but: -. li, mere show
of it. ' Poor folks in the, olden time
used to teach their children economy
in eatin g . They were "to eat their
bread and smell their cheese," and
too often a faun crop hits!. in the like
manner, to rest satisfied with mere
smell of manure. instead of hating a
chance to make a hearty meal of it
as it ought to 410.-
After all, the ; - 2Treat oestion is how
to get Manure profitably. -If we have
A heap of sand-. on one — side .and a
heap of manure on the other, no man
is so deliberately stupid as to' plant
the sand-heap apd let qe good
ground go. And yet i On. the other
hand, if we arc to - pay a hundred dul,
tars for the rich tract and Lut five
rot' the stind-heap. it is a question ok
the yield which decides. if the best
we can get. from the former would he .
but fifty dollars, While the - poor
ground would give but -twenty, We
must let the rich spot go.
We have indeed 'known trun who
have gone-on recklessly in Manuring
and lost money heavily; but on the
other hand, we feel sure that there
are very many who have opportuni
ties to manure more than -they, do,
which woukl pay them well fur their
labor. Many .paperS urge on their
readers to dig tint swamps, and 'haul
this. or the other, on the strength of
some analysis which has found good
fertilizing - matter in -the Matter, and
it frequently turns out to be .valua
ble; but very oftem the- labor will
cost more than the manure-is worth;
and theirs will be a loss rather than
a rmin.
But there is on most farms a large
amount of matters:going to waste
which can he collected without great
expenditure of lf.bo - r - ; :- or which - Can
be got together at a. time - when there
is not a great amount of pressing
work, and *which it pays well to care .
for.- Each one's particular circum
stanceS must guide him.
This is the season especially when
much vegetable matter generally goes
to waste, and when the labor is get
ting easy tin: the farm ;',lience -a hint
to look after the manure may not be
lost, as well as the suggestion that
generally not near as much manure
is:usually- given as the crops would
bear.-:-;•Guriaaribiten . Telegrap4.
Treatinent of Balky!Horses.
The had habit of balking of horses
generally arises from-:,an obstinate
.mind, or in other words; selfishness,
refusing to go trozoti, headstrong dis
position, and resolute . to have their
own way. This is one fOrm of balki
