Chairman.
Grant is still attending balls and horse
races at Long Branch.
There was more corruption and plunder
ing of the public treasury, since the gov
ernment has fallen into the hands of the
radicals, than it cost for the entire adminis
tration of the government for eight years
previous
The only high and responsible authority
we have that there is a Ku Klux. is from
Charles Sumner, who solemnly declared
that Grant wa3 the greatest Ku Klux in
the country.
The nominees upon the democratic state
ticket are two of the most gallant soldiers
of the war. Gen. M'Candlcss and Capt.
Cooper. Those radicals who always ran o- j
vor with love for the Union solders, can now j
make good their profession, by voting for
M Candies* and Cooper, as the men upon
their own ticket were sUy-at-home-sneaks, i
The Ku Klux investigation which has
been going on since the adjournment of
congrers under the lead of the Grant party j
has thus far been a farce, and nothing has ,
been proven to warrant the radical usur- j
per-* at Washington to continue in tyranix- ;
Ing over the southern people.
Grant s intention is to have the bayonet j
law akl hiui in forcing the south into his ;
support for re-election, Ku Klux or no !
Ku Klux. The bayonet has ever proven j
the best voter for the radicals.
New Hampshire has a law strictly pro- j
nibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors- .
and the little town of Dover in that .State is i
said to have ninety-five shops in full blast, j
This is up in pious New England, ,
where all the fuss about temperance and j,
morality originates and where they profes*
to have monopolised all these good ques-' ,
tions. In last week's Reporter wc chroni- ;
c lcd the Tote of Boston, under its local op- 1,
tion law. on the beer question—the bev-j,
•rage tarrying the day.
Mr. Meek having circulated, in order 1
to create sympathy unfairly in his own be-'
half, that Potter township had been "set ; j
op" upon the associate judgeship, is false 1
in every particular. It is not, and will not j
he, set up for Col. Love, Mr. Hosterrnan, 1
or Mr. Kline. We charge him, at the re-1
quest of Democrats, with willfully fabrica
ting this false report, so as to enlist the
sympathies of the other candidates for as
sociate judge in his own behalf. This is
plain. All candidates will take notice
that Potter is still "free soil" and that
there is only one man, that we positively 1
know of, who ever offered TO BCT AXD SIT (
I F Potter township, and foiled—that man
is a candidate now.
In this connection we wish to give a few '
words of explanation, as some of Mr. 1
Meek's friends sensure us for taking a stand ,
against him. It was an unpleasant duty,
and forced upon us by his own conduct,
in not playing an honorable part in his en- '
(leavers to rain support and meddling
iu matters which he should have left alone ,
as a candidate and which only tended :
to distract democrats. If we err in charg- i
ing unfair motives upon him, then he cer- "
tainly acts very imprudently to say the
least If he circulates reports like the c
above to damage certain parties why is ,®
it wrong for the injured ones to complain
of and exposethem ? Would that be de- 1
mocratic? Mr. Meek has called up all (
this unpleasant controversy by his own
conduct the one fourth of which is has not
been laid public out of respect to the party. '
There are others who have rigths as well
as he. With this issue we shall close this J
controversy.
The President has pardoned C. C. Bow
en, the Radical Congressman who was
convicted of having several wives. This '
indicates a rather loose state of Presiden
tial morality. The last wife waited upon 1
the President at Long Branch and obtain- '
ed a promise of pardon before she left.
She is represented to be a lady of remark
able mental ability and accomplishments,
of great personal beauty, on the bright side
of forty, and of captivating manners. All
that being true, we doubt whether the
mantle of charity might not be permitted
to rover the weakness of the President's
heart. The charms of the sex have con
quered greator heroes even than Gen.
Grunt, and Adam's descendants evidently
inherit much of his frailty. Betides that,
it is mocking Radical principles to punish
a carpet bagger for crime.
"The L. C. & S. C. Rail Road when it
will be let next Tuesday, will be let to be
graded ten feet wide on top of road bed.
This is the width of the Tyrone & Clear
field and a great many other road beds up
on which the ordinary Guage cars are run
ning &c.— Watchman.
As to width of road bed to which thai part
of the Tyrone & Clearfield B. R. between
Tyrone and Philipsburg was constructed
wo are unable to mi ke a positive state
ment. But we do know that the extention
from Philipsburg to Clearfield was built to
a width of 12 feet on embankments, 14 feet
in excavations.
The roadway now in general use for
lateral roads is 12 feet on embankment 16
feet in excayations.
The lino between Lewishurg A Mitllin
burg is graded to conform to these measure
ment* and it is not Improbable that these
, dimensions will bo applied throughout, in
case it should be determined to make this
a broad guagc railway.
In order to secure permanancy and Ma-
I bility to the track it is obvious that a suffi
! cient extent of road bed must be secured
j for side drainage for protect'on against the
. | elements, no matter whether it be a broad
or narrow guagc
If our persistent neighbor t* really in
earnest about constructing a brood guage
road upon a narrow guage datum, wg
1 would recommend that he try the expert
-1 nient upon one of his last winter charters
but not through Penns Valley.
e ♦
HAS COMROVM. We are pleased to no
tice that our neighbor, the ll'sffAwas, in
, it* last issue has been enlighled by the
reasoning of the RKPOOTRR, and in thai
! issue admit* all that we could ask in favor
!of the narrow guage. On the 4th |mge u
j side, lt column, the H'afcAmo* copies an
: article from the Philadelphia Inquirer, and
j endorses it, which say* that the narrow
| guage i* the best thing for a branch road
That's settled then. Next, in the 4th col
umn, same page, it copit * an article, by re
quest, from the New York 7VAa*r, fA.r
msrrosr ye wye roads nrt nrril adapted /or
largt through lines, and also endorses iL
Now here we have it, jus what we contend
ed for, that the narrow guage, for both or
either was cheaper and Just as good as ihe
broader guage We are glad our neighbor
has "seen it" at last, and the Rxroaria is
glad to have the W'ufcAesa* come ore/
just as others have done who have careful
ly studied the article# we have published.
These railroad wars will happen. Why
just think of iL two years ago, if you turn
to the files of the Watchman, you find our
neighbor, single handed and alone, fight
ing the great Uuk'it Pacific railroad ? ac
tually kept it up for near three menths.
Wr think, that the Union Pacific survived.
But good he#vens, think ot the pluck ! it
never bad its parallel except perhaps in
the pluck of the 3tX> brave Spartans at the j
narrow gauge (pass! of Thermopylae.
There is one base insinuation which we
consider it our duty to reply to, reflecting !
upon the characters ol the best and purest
men and Democrats of Potter and Gregg,
who honestly favor the narrow guage, it is
COB twined in the ll'ufeAntan of last week. '
w hieh paper spreads a false "opinion w ith !
the hope to get others to believe it, and in <
a cowardly manner, tries to shield iUelf by
throwing the responsibility upon other par
tie*. Nohonorable man, will spread such a
slanderous report, and attempt to break
down the reputation ot hisfeltow men —the
charge it spreads is that the narrow guage
railroad men, favor that guage "that they
may pocket the difference betweeu the cost
of grading a narrow gauge and the cost ot
grading tho ordinary gaige." For this
there is not the shadoa- of truth, and the
B'afrAmaN know* it, yet spread* it under a
shield, that it may gain a wider circulation.
Wo ask what cau be more despicable?
Wo hurl it back, as fitting the conduct of
one who stands charged in the Philadelph
ia Aye, of last March, with "hobbnobbing '
with the radical cut-throats of Philadel
phia, to defeat the Building Commission
bill, and assist the radicals of that city in
perpetuating an infomous measure that
enables them to keep tho heels upon the
necks of the gallant Democrats of the city.
Col. Decbert, and the democratic senators
stood by their democratic brethern in thu
measure, and had the assistance of the
Aye and Harrisburg Patriot, but the meas
ure was meanly strangled and defea
ted by the radical house committee as
sisted by two democratic members, whose
names ihe Age mentions and calls upon
these to go home and settle the matter with
their democratic constitutencies. It was
a loaal bill, it is true, but it concerned tho
great democratic party of Philadelphia,
and what is done to choke them, also as
sists in choking the democracy of tho State.
We would not have referred to this, had
not the shielded desiro to spread tho above
slander wakened it up to our mind.
It may do to explain by an "Explana
tory," when a record cannot be sustained.
RIOT IN NEW YORK
Upraising of Irish Cjttholirs,
Against the Orangemen -The
military Fire upon the Mob -
Many killed aud Hounded.
I Never, sine* the bloody riots of Ib6l, has
the city of New York been in such a per
fect blaze of excitement a* at present. For
many days the propoied Orange parade,
and the counter "target excursion ' of the
Irish Catholics, have been almost the sole
| topics of conversation throughout the city
the opinion being unanimous that a dread
ful conflict was inevitable, unless the pro
tection cf the police and military authori
ties were thrown around the Orangemen,
the nature and objects of whose Socioty
have been misapprehended in many quar
ters. It has been customary for the va
rious lodges of the Order to bold an an
nual parade on the 12th of July, tho anni
versary of the battle of the Boyne. Lasj
year, during the celebration, it will be re
membered, a brutal attack was made upon
tome members of the Order, their wives
and children, by a number of workmen
employod on the Boulevard, and receiving
pay from th® city.
Early in the morning ofthe twelfth the
Orangemen gathered around their head
quarters, corner of Twenty-ninth street
and Eight avenue, fiom which point the
procession was to start, to the number of
about two hundred with a few women—
Noarly all the men were armed with revol
vers and swords. From this jime till ten
o'clock the police were bustling about and
assembled under their captains to the num
ber of 1.5C0 and were sent in detachment*
to the localities where trouble was most
likety to occur. It was necessary to send
a squad to guard the publishing house of
Harper Bro.'s which has become very
obnoxious to the Catolic clement. At 11.15
a. m. the riot commenced.
Dispatches from New York state that
the mob had collected 3,000 strong at
Prince street with an officer at their head
brandishing a sword. He swore tohismen
that they should follow him nnd he would
get theni arms. The colonel of the C9th j
Regiment has his men underarms although
not authorised by Gen Shaler. At noon j
the 7th Regiment with fixed bayonet*, un
der Gen. Shaler, attack and dispersed 140
Third street rioters without lost.
The Fenians attacked and captured tin-1
09th Regiment s armory with a large num
ber of arms. The Eighth precinct with its
store of arms it threatened. The 3d pre
cinct is threatened. Soldier* are ordered
to fire on the mob.
The oolice received information that
two bodies of rioters had started down
town, one on Third ave. numbering some
hundreds, and one on Ninth ave. of over
1,000. Those on 9th Avenue are driving
the Swiss and Italian laborers from their
work.
At Twenty-sixth street the Ninth Regi
ment charged the mob with fixed bayonets.
Several persons were and wounded,
among them one woman. Colonel Fisk was
shot through tha ankle.
Between Twentv fifth and Twenty-sixth
streets the mob fired three shots at the pro
cession. The military returned the fire,
killing eight and wounding thirteen. Ta-o
boys and a lady were shot. Nixteon citi
zens and three soldiers were killed. Coin
ing down the avenue at the corner of
Twenty-third street, the Eighty-fourth
regiment fired upoh the mob, killing and
wounding tweNe. One policeman was
shot dead.
The fight on Twenty-fourth street* and
i Eighth avenue was more severe than at first
reported. Over 150 of the mob were cer
tainly killed and wounded.

siderably stunned by the shock. On
recovering he went to the assistance ot
his friend, who was just breathing out
his life. Mr. llurrell was a married
man with two children.
On Monday of last week the tele

Assembly—John 11. Orris, Esq..
FRED KUHTX, ESQ., XtHTOt B|P>IITSII. !
Dear Sir The name of John 11. tirvi
Esq., of Bellefonte. having been announ
ced among the candidates who will bu
presented to the approaching dmocrati<
county convention for the nomination t>-
office of Representative in the state Legis
lature, we respectfully ask the ue ot y-'.jr
columns for the purp"e of urging tin
democracy of the County t< nominate thi
gentletnan.
It i seldom a county has tha opportuni
ty to secure- a representative ofthe ability,
learning and high d-qraeter Of Mr. Or
vis, and to know that he would accept tho
position ought of itself to secure him the:
nomination. We have no word of condem
nation to utter nguiiol our late Repre-i-nla
tive Mr. Mock, but in view of the favor* he
has already secured from the party, it
would be more becoming in him to |>er
mit the old democratic innxim, that "the
office should seek the tnan" to have nn
exemplification. Mr. Meek and hi* la
mented uncle, tho late Hon. John B- Meek,
are the only persons who have ever been
honored with three term* in the state le-g- -
islam re, during the last quarter of a cen
tury, and that family ought to be satisfied.
Mr. Orvis has been a c insistent, faithful
democrat, always ready to do the work ol
the party, nr.d has never held any office
nor been a enndidnto for any except that!
of President judje which wa* tendered him j
by acclamation by the democracy of this
county.
Lawyers may not always make the best
law-make's but the nature of the legislation j
which will in all probability bo proposed
at the next session render it especially im
portant that every district in the state,
should if possible, be represented by it*,
ablest attorneys. Among other proposedi
menurcs will he the adoption ofthe revised |
code, which has been most bunglinglyj
prepared by a commission of Governor
Geary's pets, and by which the entire civil
legislation of the state is sought to he revo
lutionized.
Another will he a call for a convention
to rexise tho constitution of tho state.
Wc do not intimate that Mr. Meek would
not faithfully do all he could for the good
of the people and tho interests of tho com
monwealth, with regard to these and all
other questions, but wo do say that not
being himself it lawyer, his service* could
not be as efficient as would those of Mr.
Orvi* who is recognized a* the peer of the
best lawyers in the state.
Ho for as the much talked of Law Libra
ry bill is concerned, wo know that Mr.
Orvis is amply supplied, with luw hooks
purchased with his own money, so that he
can have no selfish interest in the matter,
and we have the a surnncc that he will ex
ert all his powers to promote the w ill of hi*
constituents on this nnd all other questions,
and will have the ability to frame hills so
that they will not he cbnoxious to valid
executive objections.
We have known Mr. Orvi* ever since he
taught school in Harris township, about
1863, and in every position we have always
found him faithful, honest and able. For
the reasons given nnd many others that
might be named, we call upon our demo
cratic friends to rally to the support of
M.r. Orvis and secure his nomination
against all opposition.
' "Peace toward all, enmity for none," is
our motto, but in nominating Orvis we
conceive that we but serve ourselves, in
securing a representative who will have no
superior in tho state legislature.

horse ' hoe bend. The route making

mail! 1 must hasten my travel or I
may weary your reader's patience. I
arrived at'l'ituburg nt about 10 a. in.,
and after prcambulating the street* a
'short time I called upon my friend J.
O. \V., 54 Wood street and spent a few
moments in having a healthy old chat,
,of by gone days. On the evening of,
said day I took Mourner Julia for
Marietta. This ride down the Ohio is j
pleasing beyond description, for ever
I varying sights and scenes present I
themselves to the observer— on one
side of the river rugged rock* and
towcriug precipices, while on the oth
er side generally lie extending plains.
On the evening of the 25th I arrived
nt said place —from which I again set
•ail for Hamden Junction, Ohio, n:.d
from thenre to Portsmouth—arriving
there at noon of 20th from which
place 1 took steamer Fleetwood bound
for Burlington Lav, ranee county, Ohio
—at which place I arrived on the
evening of said day and stopped t here
for the space of three days. This
j place being formerly tbe county seat
of Lawrence it was then —as I under
stood a prominent town, but siuce the
removal of county scat it is somewhat
on the decline and needs the labor and
j inter position a corps of straight for
ward resolute men to infuse into it the
spirit of energy, perseverance and in
dustry. The place not proving favora
ble for mv business, ami desiring to
'strike for a more salubiou* clime, I de
termined to return to the old Keystone
state. CboOing New (.'nstle, Law
rence county, for my destination. I
took the steamer Mountain Boy on
26th for Wheeling, and from thence
came by rail to the much spoken of
and far famed, New Castle. At first
! sight this place sccnied somewhat tri-
I fling and insignificant to me, but on
further in vestigntion the contrary prnv*
lied to be tho case. As I came into the
.imidal of the city the hum and din of
I business became tuore apparent. Hav
ing Ix'cn conducted to the "I/rslie
. House'' and having-entered this spa
cious structure, so neatly, convenient
ly and grandly fitted and adorned, 1
Jnlv began to realize what I had
. previously heard of its popularity.
• This house is second to none west of

' The ;oeiety of this place, being of
the first chus, makes it one of ihu
* most desirable places to spend leisure
' moments in the western section of this
.■ broad commonwealth. The bui'dings
flare grand and magnificent, fit temples
, for kings and potentates to inhabit.

Annual School Kt'pnrt of (V til re
Futility, for Ike Sehool War,
Kittling Jntte A IsTl.
In submitting thi* report of tbe
trannmctiows of the past year I Klmlh
endeavor to confine myself to a strict
bu-ine* con, is. n< -s, for in n report so!
brief it is numerous items uhiih the
work of the n lioui.* involves, without
attempting to discus* thctn.
A* an indication of progress it af
fords inc pleasure to state that more*
new school buildings were erected in
the county this year than during anv
previous year—lS in all; many of these
ura very fine edifices, but want of
space here forbids a minute de*crip j
tiot,; all roc large, voilamnged t and
well-ventilated, properly located, and
with sufficient play ground*. Those)
built nl Aaronsourg, and 1
I nionviile. arc particularly good, and
are adapteil nut only to the present,
hut (he future wants of tfo hcnliliu
in which tiny are situated. All have'
■ MIIN/ lc furniture, save the one in Un
ion district. B< side* these, ten old
building* were re fu rubbed, making
twenty-seven (27) fttrnUbcd during
the year. One hundred and seventy-!
three (173) are now, in all, thus sup
pi ied.
Apparatus. — Eighteen schools were
supplied during the rear. 114 are
now* supplied with outline maps, and
100 with artificial globe*.
JU'rrlhoards. —The cxtt-ut of black
board surface in our school-room* is
being increased, lu all *ave some of
the oldest ones, one entire side of the
room is given to this purpose.
In both rooms of tho new building
lately erected at Loydsville, tho black
boards surround the room, excepting
only the window* and doors. This
i* i* the first house in the county thus
furnished, but 1 trust not the last.
({rounds. —ln the improvement of
school ground* I cannot report the
progress 1 would desire. Wet! fenced
yard*, with trees, shrubbery and flow
or*, arc rare exceptions; four only
were thus improved during the year.
SCIIOOU
The number of schools is still on
the increase. Last year 1 reported;
lOS ; this year there are 204, of which |
59 arc graded, and 100 are torcrably,
well classified.
Graded School —Although 1 think
wo rompnro favorably with other ru
ral disiriciS of the State, in thi* par
ticular —29 per cent of all the schools,
in the county being partially graded
—yet 1 ran see no reason why a sys
tern of grading cannot he adopted in
every township in the county ; ami un
til this is done the schools will remain
defective. Kvcrv village and densely
populated locality ul sixty pupils,
should establish two grades, either io
one building with two rooms, or in
two separate school building*. Wher
ever tbero are already .two school
houses within convenient distance, the;
schools should bedevilled, sending the
smaller children to one, and the inoro
advanced to the other. The increased
efficiency of the schools would more
than compensate lor the little increase
in the distance to the school. It would
not only render tho schools cheaper
and more effective, but also provide
higher intructi£h for all classes, for
the (irammer school* would furnish
material which would, of its own ac
cord, build up the requisite number of
high schools—where not already es
tablished—to bring such higher in
struction within the reach of all.
Wherever this system has been tried
and fully tested it has proved success
ful, and nowhere do we sen the old
system of mixed schools being replac
ed. Each grade should have its
pre.-eribed course of study, which all
should he obliged to understand thor
oughly before being promoted to the
next higher one.
1 would earnestly call the uttcntiou
of our directors to a somewhat, preva
lent error \
"The tendency to promote pupils'
"from out) grade to another whenever
~ "the lower grade* become overcrow
"ded, without proper regard to their

—that great bar to advancement— ha-
Iwen to a great extent pvereome, the
" teacher*, in their own judgement, class
ifving their pupil* according to fitnesr
afone, for the different branches ol
'study.
Mtthml* of Jnttuction —No one wa>
licen-H-.l to teach who had not studied
at !ca*t one modern work on teaching,
and could pass a satisfactory examin
ation on tho important mode* of teach
t in V. .
1 Ins course, w Itieh lias been followed
fo* the last few years, has resultetl in
a complete reform iu teachiug.
' School Etiquette. —l have observed
much improvetneul in this direction,
having noticed less of that roughness
ami uufocliugne** which heretofore
f characterised the public schools iu
I some localities.
The heart as well a* the head must
I t>e educated ; and it i* a* much the
teacher's duty to inculcate good man
| iter and politeness, based on the prin
ciple of the "(ioldeti Rule," a* to
teach reading or spoiling. Many of
the school room* are very tastefully
decorated with mottoes, pictures, flow
er*, etc., and are scrupulously dean
and tidy. I noticed alto that nearly
at) the school room* were furnished
I with window najwr* or curtius. It is
to be hoped that thoe teachers who
have not yet caught thi* spirit will
soon sc.' bow much they lack. The
glowing impressions thus made upon
the youthful mind, are fixed so deeply
in the soul, that time cannot efface
them.
Music. —Vocal music is practiced in
almost every sdtoo!. Its refining and
elevating iufluenco entitle* H to tho
at mil ion it roocivc*.
Attendant*. —It is encouraging to
know that the average persentage of
attendance i* increasing yearly. In n
large number of school* the average
attendance was over 90 ner cent.
Moral Instruction. —The Ribie wai,
.end daily la all our public schools.
About 2u opened daily with prayer.
its! Hooks. —We havo had no
change in book* for five year*, and
then onlv to secure district uniformity,
which, I am happy to state, we now
have without exception.
TEACHEft?.
j It i* a source of gratification to be
lieve that, remote a* we are from folate
Normal Schools, hut few counties can
ima-t of teacher* more faithful and
fari.o: than are many of ours. There
, is much more profes/nnai reading than
formerly, i do not believe there i a
single teacher in the countv that doe*
not take at least one educational jour
nal. Mental Philosophy ha* been
f oiade a practical study with many of
| our teacners.
We lost thi* year two of our mott
faithful teachers bv death,— c air.uel R.
Itreon, of IVnn Hall, and Mary
Weaver of Rellcfonie; but vvhilo we
feel <|eeply their loss, wo have rearm
to hone, from the christian life they
led, that they are now reaping the true
teacher*' reward. It i* to be observed
that the number of female teacher* bos
hern regularly decreasing for the *l
five year*. The present number of
pmalca ti* 133, females 71. Of these 120
have attended a (Vunly Normal
"Vhool, and 82 have taught over five
yeaia. Avorago ago of teacher* 25
I year*. In consequence of the usual
•earcity of teacher* 48 were employed
who had never taught before, and who,
for want of skill and experience, rare
ly gave general igtluGtclion, thus
bringing i*pn>ach upon the *v*tem,
when it was not the system at all, but
hut its local administration, that was
in fault.
The building up of n prnftasiou i*
not the work of a day. If we would
" have all good teacher* we must oflVr
such inducement* as will enable us to
sceurc and retain them. Intimately
associated with this is tho item of
Salaries. —The pernicious practice
nf paying the same wagea U> ail—good,
bad, and indittcrent —without regard
to grade of certificate, is becoming
less common. Of the thirty districts
' in the county, I succeeded in getting
eighteen to grade the salaries of their
teacher*, and to all who gave the
schools proper attention it must have
been plain that those receiving the
highest salaries were by far the cheap
est. It is earnestly hoped that by an
other year every district will adopt
: this plan.
hlraminations. —I held the usual
number of public examination*—(2s)
immediately after the close of the
County Normal Srhool, ami before the
|opening of the public schools; hut
finding n deficiency in the number of
teachers, ten special examinations
>■ were nfterwards held, at my otfiee, five
jof which wvre private. 200 provision
al, and 7 professional certificates were
issued. 18 applicant* were rejected.
Tho public examinations were attend
ed by 120 director* and 1024 citizen;.
The written plan was almost invaria
bly followed- * The examinations com-;
i pared, very favorably with those of
the previous year, the qualifications of
teacher* Veing generally higher.

StTIOOt. VISITATION.
k i
I commenced this duty immediate
ly after tho elese of the examinations,
I and continued uninterruptedly (except
' a week for the County Institute) until
' about tho first of April. 292 visit*
I made to the schools, every school in
' the county being visited at least once.
' except otto which was closed ere I
could roach it. The number of visits
1 exceed by 52 those of last year. The
time spent in each, varied according
f to the work to be done—averaging in
length about two hour*. My object
• was not to take the teacher's place for
• the timo being, by hearings recitations,
' but to examine into every department
•'of Iti* work classification disci
• plinc — method* of instruction, etc.,
• giving as much instruction in the vari
s „u* departments a* my limited timcal
-1 lowed, occasionally conducting a class
• drill for the instruction of tho teacher.
' I invariably left instruction in writing
with the teacher—taking a transcript
1 of the same in my note-book. I am
becoming more convinced each year of
the good that results from these visit*;
> B n.| yet where so much is to be dono in
ri BO short U time, much of that good is
