It I* only jus tice to the teacher to remember that this miracle is often performed. But what wculd be thought if I should penly advocate the adoption of the children by the state?

Now, why in the name of every thing sensible, putting such re- [ sponsibililtes upon teachers, demanding so much of them, trusting the whole future hope ot this nation to them, do we not hold them ill higher esteem?
