A Times Reporter Takes in the West | Side School Again, On Fr evening we attended | the public exercises of the pupils at the west school house and were pleased to find quite a number of | Visitors present, including the pa- rents of some efthe scholars. Our lone Trustee was on hand as usual§ assisted by Mr. T. W. Childs, who said he was playing proxy for some busy Trustee at home. The exer- cises were of a most Satisfactory | character and revealed the gratifying | fact that tke pupils were making The first class- room we visited after reaching the school house was that of Miss Belle Rogers. This young lady has in charge the smaller little boys and girls,and the readiness with which they go through their everci to- gether with the almost perfect dici- plin Miss Rogers has and maintains over these little girls | and boys, stamps her at once asa teacher of high could see a marked improvement in these little folks since our last visit. The in this room were highly creditable to pupil and teach- We next visited the class- Helm. This young lady has in charge pupils more ad- vanced than Miss Rogers. In room also splendid discipline is ob- servable, and the exercises reflected great crediton Miss Helm and the Sy established indeed we merit, exercises this pupils. The exercises in arithme- tic, geography and gramme: were eminently satisfactory.

The recitation of pieces by May Welton, Florence Willard an] Lutie David- son were very handsome and capti- vated the spectators at once. Miss Helm’s pupils acquitted themselves in handsome style. We next passed into the room of Prof. Brown, where the exercises gave great satisfaction. The Star, a paper edited by the girls ot that room, was read by little Miss Riddle. It isa newsy, spright- ly sheet, and caused considerable laughter among the spectators. Here as elsewhere in the school, the best ot order prevailed, and the pupils reflected honor upon themselves and teacher. We did not get around to Miss Tathwell’s room, which we exceedingly regret, but teel sure in saying that the same rapid progress observed in the other rooms is being mude in Miss Tathwell’s. She isa afine teacher and deserves great credit for the labor and pains she be- stows on her pupils. We would be nished him with several bottles of your Tonic, and it entirely cured him.

It is now over ftty years since this medicine was offered as a remedy for Worms, and from that time its reputa- tion has steadily increased until at the resent day itis almost universally ac- knowledged throughout nearly all parts of the world to be the sovereign remedy. Children often took pale and sickly from no othe¥ cause than Worms and spasms are most trequently the result of these hidden sappers and miners. Many a hepless child has been laid in the grave when the disease which caused its death has been entirely misunderstood, and when worms have been really the cause; therefore parents especially mothers, who are constantly with their children, can- not be too observing of the the first sym- ptoms of worms, tor surely as they exist can they be sate nd speedily removed trom the most delicate infant, by the timely use of B.
