Newspaper Laws.
Subscribers who do not iriveexpres notii-e
to t he contrary are considered wishing to
continue their sulwcription.
If sulwcriiiers onler the disinntinuance of
their periodicals, the publisher may continue
to send them until a!) arrearages are paid.
If subscriliers neglect or refuse to take
their periodicals fmm the office to which
they are directed, they are re-ponsible until
they have settled tlieir bills and ordered
them discontinued.
If the subscriber move to other places
without informing the publisher and the pa
iei are sent to t lie former direction, tiicy
are held resins:ble.
The courts have divided that refusing to
take lenodirals from the otfii-e or rcmovin;!
ami leavinit them uncalled for it rima ticie
evidence of intentional fraud.
If sulwcribers
advance they are
bouml to give notice no publishers at the end
of their time, if they do not wish torontniue
taking it : otherwise the publisher is author
ized to send it, and the suliscritxr will lie re

HOLIDAY COODS.
Our custom heretofore has Ikvii to adver

trade, but, owing to the rush of bu-in.'s. al
ready on hands, our advertiser coal. I not
find time to give the matter the necessary at

'" Do you ask : Have we i-aiidiis. ? "
" t ne t.n. at prices raiding from P1"-. to

" What alxo.it oranges?"
" Five liarrei of the finest Florida son tin

" How i your st.s-k of raisins ? "
" Dchi-ia, Iindoii. Sultana and Val. ntia."
" How a'siut your crop of nuts .' ''
"Sta.ks of them. Almonds. Walnuts,

Io yoa see all these gixsls and toys on our

enough to make your head ache to look at I
them, without handling them; and. liesidcs

" Tl e Institute iu its relation to the past, the

the county lor the sake of amusement, but
eulivens the teacher and awakens in him in

like an oasis iu the teachers' life, and awak

Young men and women who contemplate

sylvania we have townshiporgaiiization ; the
township is the unit ; in Ohio the sub-district
is the unit. Oarfield said that Mark

Mark Hopkins was a good tea. her, and the
teacher is the soul of the stIhhiI. He would
talk on :
I. Our Aim.
II. Our Attitude.
III. Our Outfit.
With reference to our training our aim
should be. first, to know our work. He be
lieves many teachers do not know their bus
iness. The teacher nee!s lo know how to
organize a school, lie necilsi to gain power so
that he may influence their min. Is and hearts,
and third, the teacher's work consists in
teaching.
Teaching consists, first, in instruction
building up mind and character, hy building
in knowledge. Second, teaching consists in
training ; there is a difference between in
struction and training ; illustrated hy the
piano. Third, Teahing consists in testing.
Work is never complete until it has been
tried. All lltcae points imply a very thor
ough study of tlie child. Col. Parker says
The study of a little child is tbe crautlest
study in which a man ever engaged. A atc-
ond aim should be to know means and meth
ods of its arcoiuiilishment. This implies
knowing tlie liratx-hvs taught. U our knowl

of teaching. As an illustration, he mention

teacher's business is not to do the pupil
work. If vou want to iu r'.it m i:h a child.
pick him up and carry him ; if you want ti
teach him to walk, wait on his toddlin,
steps. He has said to pupils of his owi
when they came to him for help. "Go ge
your dinner, and I'll eat it for you.' B J
teachers must not go too far ; it 13 a very
nice point to discriminate between carryim
and leading pupils. There is a mi 1 11
ground : each must find it for himself.
There is a natural onterof mental uevelop
ment : teai liers often try to train faruitie
that have not yet budded. Teachers slum!
know methods of teaching. A melius! o
teachins is a series of teaching acts tendiu
to specific end.
