TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.
The Now Castle Countv Teacher»' As
sociation hold an interesting session of two
days in this city, on the 19th and 30th of ?
March. Wo would like to give a full „. V
count of the proceedings, if wo had room.
Wo must ho àllowod to say, that wo on
dorse the remark of Prof. Wiekcrsham, "*
that you cannot commence to toad. f
Grammar t„o young "-that is, tho father
and mother must speak correct English "'
and must, on all «casions, correct tho «I«
mistakes of the children. No lessons in
subsequent life will erase tho habits of of
cbildhood Went a, and comes, and rfones
wiil.slip out in spite of Murray or Green, P
or Weld, or Tower's Grammars. We
must speak correctly ^ a t

Lvoc of the King's English. * Vo regret
mamfested a little tartness ot manner.- ;
We were sorry to sco th.it tho champions ' |
of the study of English did uot meet the
opposition, or those who placed classical
studies in tho first rank, by a correct
statement of tho history of tho languago
and the derivation of our household
Words.
Wo regret that tho President made a
fling at the u Grammar of Delaware,"
wbioh wo say distinctly is loss interlarded
with cockueyism aod misacccntuation
than that of. the North, and less corrupted
by negro dialects than that of tho South.
All teachers who have ai.y respect for
themselves, and any desire to improve,
should attend these meetings.
There will hen Teachers' Meeting at
Dover, on April öth and 6tli. The Kdi

HAVE YOU A CONSCIENCE?
The writer of this docs not gain a live
lihood by practising medicine. Ho sacri-j
fleed the best years of his life in the ac-,
tive exercise of the duties of an ill requited
and arduous profession. If the physician's*
body is not fatigued, bis mind is always
distressed. Wc say to our read rs> if you is
otro your doctor, go and pay him. Re
member how anxiously you looked for
his arrival ; how you demanded he should
whip and spur; how 3 'ou thought he should
shake off sleep, disregnid heat and brave
the cold ; how early and how late you
called upon him. \Vo havo seen brick
houses piled up, farms bought and magni
ficent equipages belonging io th®so who
were neglecting to compensate their phy
sician. If wo had our life to lead
again, we would make every man pay; wc
would value our services ns tho farmer
doos his grain, or (lie merchant his wares,
or tho lawyer his advice. If wo were not
lauded for our philanthropy and kindness,
we would bc respected , as tho worid goes,
for the respectability of our bank account.
" Put money in thy jmrsc" and then you
outrage the jaw, disregard decency
snap your fingers at society. Put
money in thy purse; and then, no matter
by what means you acquiro it, legal
legal, wholesale or retail, refined or vulgar,
you will command the attention of the
Church and the respect of Society. The
jingle of your dollars will bo an open
sesame to the Fifth Avenue or Grace
Church. We say, then, to the Doctor—
put money in t|iy parse; to tho patient—
pay yoitr bill. •
