ts approaching, and rapidly approaching
when tho American citizens will keenly
realize tho dire results of the ruthless de

of replanting Mid propagating new and

It Is equally important and Imperative
that as rapidly ns our lx-lt of timber Is

It's all right In a town or village, but in
the rural districts we really believe that it
works better, and is belter, to have two
tonus a "summer term," as it is called,
and p wlntur term of school. In that
case yon can have nearly all the pupils
with you during tho entire term, the pu

would give bettor satisfaction all around.
Had wo a vacation after uhout four or live
months of the winter session, and then re
organizing a new school even with the
same teacher and the same pupils. There
would bo a renewed interest, and a new
life evinced by the scholars A long con
tinuous term tends to weary many of the
pupils. They attend well aud work well
four or flvo m intlis, and then b,-giu to

enter school as fresh" and vigorous and
earnest as ever. And again, If a teacher
wishes to change, or the people wish a
change of teachers, that change could be
made at the beginning of tho new term,
without any unpleasant experiences either
to teachers or patrons. Perhaps our idea
is wiong, but wo believe as we have writ
