Our public school opened Monday
with an attendance of 350 pupils this
number is about equally divided be
tween the seven rooms Itls gratify-
ing to note that nearly nil the pupils
Entered school promptly thgJjrSt day
.and a majority of them in earnest and
determined (0 accomplish' the work
tft.it' is laid out for them. The teach-
ers earnestly request that the friends
co-operate with them and' encourage
the. children to perform every duty that
nray be required. Teachers and super-
intendent cannot sec and hear and know
everything they cannot correct abuses
unless they know what they are hence
if you have grievances or complaints
to make bring them to the teachers
and wepromise you that if it is Iri-our
power it shall be corrected. Aside
from considerations of honesty and a.
desire to perform their duties teachers
Lave what we might call selfish. con-si
sidcrations that would stimulate ( them
to perform faithfully and impartially
their duties. Teachers are not as
some pupils and a few parents seem
to think the natural enemies of child
ren. Parents and pupils should re-
member that teachers have every in-
centive to do what they conceive right
under all circumstances and that they
not " only work faithfully during the
day in they recitation room but spend
the evenings studying the best inter-
ests of each individual member of their
school.
To complete the course of study in
our public school requires ten years.
Pupils urider some circumstances are
allowed to complete three years work
ifi two but generally this is not a
good plan the process of acquiring
knowledge is very slow for the average
mind and we should not get impatient
urith slow progress but concern our-
selves chiefly with the thoroughness and
efficiency of our progress. Parents-
shoud require their children to spend at
least two hours in study while at home
jn the evening. In assigning lessons
it is expected that most of them at
least will be studied at home.
DENTISTRY.
.EDITED UY DR. F. N DROWN.
Brush your teeth. Which islfprTde
or fear of pain that induces some peo-
ple to care for their teeth for we have
.seen some who .never pay proper at-
tention to their teeth until forced by
king toothache.
The following is the usual order of
the eruption- .of decidious (or
temporary) teeth. The incisors
(or front)' teeth 5 to 10
months after birth The first molars
(or jaw teeth) 1 2 to 16 months after
birdi. The cuspidates (eye teeth) 14
to 20 months after birth. The second
"molars (second jaw teeth) 20 to 36
months after birth.
The periods of the eruption of the
temporary teeth is variable as perma-
turely erupted teeth is sometimes seen
atbirfh. Mothers should study this
table and not allow the. first perman-'
ent jaw tooth (which appears at the
age of five to six) to be classed as a
temporary tooth but see that it is
properly filled if it should be attacked
by caries. The temporary teeth also
need proper attention that they may
not be lost to the child before the
proper period for their replacement by
the second dentition and so avoid
mean causes of irregularity also the
evil of allowing the decidious teeth to
jremafn and crowd the "permanent set
".ohoulct be watched over and prevented
-as leading to the same result. "
Oliver Homes says of dentistry: "It
has established and prolonged the reign
of beauty ; it has added to the charms
of social intercouse. and lent' perfec-
tion to the accent of eloquence ; it has
taken from of oldage its most unwel-
come feature and lengthened life far
beyond the limit of the years when the
toothless and purblind patrioch might
well exclaim 'I have no pleasure in

Commencing Monday evening the
Irene Worrell comedy company will
"open a week's engagement with the
great sensational drama entitled
"Patty" or "For . Another's Crime."
The play is good one and in hands of
this capable company will lose none of
its effectiveness. The plot is well de-
veloped' with a vein of comedy run-
ning through it that will arouse the
merriment of the gravest. As Patty
Miss Worrell. has a part exactly suited
to her capabilities and one in which
she dose not fail to arouse the en-
thusiasm of her andience. Miss Sophie

French girl a very difficult character
in a very acceptable manner. J. G.

smooth and polished villian to die

of Mayor Bismark Bluster and Tony
Gildershanks are exceedingly laugh-
able and tend to keep the interest of
the audience to the highest point.
The balance of the cast is very good.

best by far repertoric company that

The Girl Who Wants to Marry.
In the Spring the young man's fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love.
Well and good. In the Summer a
young woman's thoughts towards mat-
rimony not "lightly" but in down-
earnest. Dispositions differ and some
girls are more subtle than others and
we see their inward workings less.
But the riante joyous maiden of the
fashionable summer resort is as earn-
est in her search for a husband as if
she does not care a bonbon for all
that is seen of her designs.
From Monday morning until Satur-
day Miss Husband-seeker keeps cool
does a little fancy-work chatters with
other girls and even on a pinch talks
to her mother. Saturday morning the
Vesuvius of her mind shows signs of a
coming eruption. Her face shines
like a glass bottle with much washing
her hair is shampooed her nails are
polished and there are more or less
signs of curlingirons. She is pre-
occupied in her manner shuns the
other girls as they by the way shun
her and cultivates her mother's left
wing In early afternoon she disap-
pears. In her room there is much
banging of trunk lids and Oh's.and All's
of deprecation. Later she reappears
mother close behind decked for the
affray. Her perturbation has disap-
peared and in all things she is inno-
cence and swqetness itself. She smiles
on the girls who liavbrothers and she
cuts no corners by snubbing girls who
have cousins in reserve. In all ways in
short she simulates the ideal "little
lady" that dwells forever on the tongue
of the nursery governess. She looks
happy and pretty and heartwhole.apd
when the train comes in or the stage
drives upMiss Husband-seeker is as fair
a picture as the eye of city-worn man
ever rested upon. In an hour she is
in her element receiving bits of homage
from this that and the other man like
tiny samples of a possible bargain.
This is at the far-away ordinary
summer hotel where men come once
a week. At the more fashionable rc-
"tbrty wliertf nTerf of p"ermanerif leisure
and men of a limited two weeks keep
up the supply he chances of success
are as a week to a daa. From morn-
ing until night there is a continual
round of posing of chatter and of be-
gowning a round which looks exceed-
ingly picturesque and Eden-like but
which means neither more nor less
than these girls are on the watch.
Now why it should be considered
a disgraceful thing to look forward to
matrimony when every one knows
that matrimony is the chief end of
men and women alike remains to be
discovered. Certainly as many of these

very girls would be angry at their own
mothers for asserting the fact as would
accept it. Some few girls brought
up to keep house to love babies and
to sew admit very frankly that they
will marry the man whom they can
like who shall first ask them in marri-
age. And these it must be said are
f the sensible girls the girls who will
make good wives and good mothers.
They will not be to use a Homely
prase "above their business" but will
find a home with a good-looking
grown-up boy in it a paradise on earth.
They will not be ashamed to admit
