Watch this column for some interesting comparisons, by and by, Those who haye read Rob't Thompson's recent letters iu the Recorder, regarding the sending of children to central schools cannot but be inter ested, to say the least. We not only concur in his remarks, but wa-note as follows The advantages of the township, or central school, over the present system are great and many. 1st, It brings to the pupil in the country the benefits of a graded school, 2d. It substitutes specialized for unspecialized instruction. 3d, It allo vs longer recitation periods, and consequently more time for class drill and incidental instnuc-tion.

4th, It allows the 'classification of pupils with others of the same ability and the same degree of ad vancement, enabling the teacher to ippeal to tho spirit of rivalry and generous emulation. 5th, It widens the social horizon of the district, and gives the greater breadth and culture that extended association confers. 6th, It increases tho percentage both of enrollment and daily attend ance' of rural pupils. 7th, It requires and makes pos- siblo buildings larger, better, more artistic, better supplied with educa tional equipments and sanitary ap- pliahces.
