LILLIPUTIAN WEDDING.
The Crowning Event of the Age.
Talk about in the way
of entertainments, if the Lilliputian
wedding in connection with e
bazaar in the opera Thurs-
day night, has ever been surpassed
in Greenville it is not in the
of the writer. The
pants were little tots, but the
of a real marriage was never
carried out with more grace and
attractiveness than was shown by
them.
As might have been expected
when an entertainment is given by
the children, the audience was
large, for the old folks, re
member they were once child-
themselves, feel a keen inter-
est in what the little folks do.
The curtain rose promptly at
o'clock and the scene disclosed was

Every teacher, before opening
school, should have some general
plan in his mind, of what he in-
tends tr In every
enterprise there is a great
to be derived from fore-
thought, aDd perhaps nowhere
is the advantage greater than in
the business of teaching.
In older to aid me in forming
for my self, I subjoin a scheme
a adapted to my
school of the simplest grades. My
school consists of OW forty scholars
and upon I that I
could make four or five divisions or
classes, the first I designated
The first division which
Consists of the more
children, unite gram-
mar, history, arithmetic, reading
spelling etc. The second class
pursue reading, writing, spelling,
geography etc., the about
the same work as the
the children being younger though.
The class consisting of smaller
attend to reading, writing,
spelling, and mental arithmetic.
It is desirable that as
time should be devoted t
as can be afforded, It is ween
certain studies as
mental arithmetic and spell
we cat. attend to at
as seven. Sometimes
after becoming better acquainted
with our work, we can unite two
of those divisions. All can be

Betide, it is to

No.
The exercises that require the
greatest stress of mental effort
should come in the earlier part of
the day. The working power of
the blind is at its best from nine
till twelve, so a subject like
arithmetic should come by pref-
in the forenoon, while
drawing, etc, might come
later in the day.
Provide alterations that afford
rest or an agreeable change. To
from an exercise in reasoning
to where memory is
involved, is an agreeable change,
for a new mode of mental activity
is play, while the one
just employed ha- a period of rest.
We should have as few clause
as possible. By securing a

some recital ions by topic, by
uniting two classes the same
study by reducing the number
of recitations some subjects to
two or three a week, it is quite
possible to relieve an over charged
program.
In every school consisting of
pupils of ages and cur

less interruption to the
order and employment of the

never been trained to system at
