Drinking It has to learn by Itself, by pecking at dew-drops or spots of light on the sur face of the water, or particles at the bottom of Its cup.

From the Detroit NeVrs-Tribun. The struggling schoolmaster, drying to live en starvation wages, is a thing of the past ln the Dominion of Canada, say men prominent In educational af fairs.
