WEBSTER'S UNABRIDGED DICTIONARY. NEW ILLUSTRATED EDITION. Thoroughly revised and much enlarged. Over 3,000 fine engravings. Is a wellnigh indispensable requisite for every intelligent family. It contains 10,000 WORDS and MEANINGS not found in other dictionaries. It is now believed to be by far the most complete, useful, and satisfactory dictionary of the language ever published, as it is by far the largest single volume ever issued in any language. The possession of any other English dictionary, or any previous edition of this, can not compensate for the want of this very full and complete one. In its present perfected state it must long remain the BEST ENGLISH DICTIONARY, and once possessed, remain of constant and abiding value. What book, beside the Bible, so indispensable as a good dictionary? "I think it not only a great improvement upon former issues of the same work, but superior, in most respects, to any other English dictionary known to me. The labors of the recent editors and contributors have made it undoubtedly the best general etymologicon we yet possess of the lan guage; its vocabulary is as ample as could well be given in the compass of a single volume: its definitions re, in general, sufficient y exact and discriminating; and its pronunciation is apparently conformable to the best usage."-Hon. George P. Marsh, Florence, Italy, March 7, 1866. "Etymological part well done. Whave had no English Dictionary nearly so good in this respect."-North Amer. Review, Jan., 1865. "In our opinion, it is the best Dictionary that either England or America can boast."-National Quarterly Review, Oct., 1864. "No English scholar can dispense with this work."-Bibliotheca Sacra, Jan., 1865. "Truly a Magnum Opus, a monument of industry, research, and erudition, worthy the most Cordial recognition and the highest praise of all who write, speak, or study the English Language." Evang. Quart. Review, Jan., 1865. "In its general accuracy, completeness, and practical utility, the work is one which none who read or write can henceforward afford to dispense with."-Atlantic Monthly, Nov., 1864. "Viewed as a whole, we are confident that no other living language has a Dictionary which so fully and aithfully sets forth its present condition as this last edition of Webster does that of our written and spoken English tongue."-Harper's Magazine, Jan., 1865 "THE NEW WEBSTER is glorious-it is erfect-it distances and defies competition-it leaves nothing to be desired."-J. H. Raymond, LL.D., President of Vassar College. In One Volume of 1,840 Royal Quarto Pages; and in various Common and Fine Bindings. "GET THE LATEST." "GET THE BEST." "GET WEBSTER."

No one thing conduces more to the good discipline of a School, and the advancement of its individual members, than the keeping of a strict account of the daily deportment and scholarship of each pupil. Yet few teachers keep more than the required record of attendance. The reason is plain. The multiplicity of duties which throng upon them during the allotted six hours, entirely precludes their making the proper entries until recess time, or after the close of the School. The record, if kept at all, must then be made up from memory, and of necessity with questionable accuracy. Consequently the moral force of the record is lost. This evil is sometimes avoided and accuracy secured, by making the entries immediately after each exercise. But a teacher having, as is often the case, twenty or thirty different daily exercises, by devoting two of three minutes to making the record of each, must spend, in this way, at least one sixth of the school day. This time can ill be spared from other duties. And the loss of time does not end with the day. Once a month or oftener, the teacher must spend many weary hours adding up and averaging accounts, and making reports to parents. By the use of the AIDS TO SCHOOL DISCIPLINE, all this drudgery is avoided, much valuable time is saved, a wholesome stimulant is afforded to pupils, and parents, being informed each night how their children have passed the day, are led to take a more lively interest in the School. A further benefit is secured. Many school children are too young to appreciate fully the significance of a simple mark or figure. They require something tangiblesomething that they can take home and show to their parents and friends when they have done well, and which, if they fail to obtain by negligence or misconduct, will bring upon them immediate exposure. This system is consequently more efficient than ordinary records, besides being more popular with parents and pupils as well as with teachers. The AIDS may be used in various ways. The following will suit the majority of Schools: In the morning each pupil receives a CARD (five merits), to be forfeited during the day in case of misdemeanor or failure in recitation. When FIVE of these cards are obtained, they are exchanged for a CHECK (twenty-five merits), representing a perfect School Week. FOUR CHECKS are in like manner exchanged for a CERTIFICATE OF MERIT, representing one hundred merits, or a perfect Month. These certificates bear the pupil's name, and are signed by the teacher. The number held at any time, will show the pupil's standing in the School. If a prize is to be awarded at the close of the session, or year, there can be no difficulty or possibility of mistake in determining to whom it belongs. And the decision being made in public, each pupil exhibiting the Certificates which he holds, no suspicion of favoritism can possibly arise. The AIDS are BEAUTIFULLY ILLUMINATED, being printed in the National Colors, and are beautiful in d sign. The Certificates in themselves are prizes which every child will admire and cherish. The CARDS and CHECKS are printed on stout paper, and may be used many times. This makes the system very cheap. Each set contains 100 CERTIFCATES, 150 CHECKS, 250 CARDS, and in addition, 100 SINGLE MERITS and HALF MERITS, to be used when deemed advisable. Price per set, $1.25. When sent by Mail, prepaid, $1.35. J. W. SCHERMERHORN & CO., PUBLISHERS, 430 BROOME 8 REET, NEW YORK. A complete list of School Merchandise sent when applied for. COMPILED BY Prof. JOHN W. HALL, Formerly Principal of Central High School, Dayton, Sent by mail, prepaid, to any teacher's address : [From the Ohio Educational Monthly, April No., 1866 ] Some two years since we prepared, with much care, a blank form for a Teacher's Certificate, and recommended the same to County Boards of School Examiners. Almost the next mail brought us a blank certificate prepared by Mr. Hall for the Examiners of Montgomery county, and before he had seen our "model." In its form, language, and arrangement, it was almost a fac-simile of ours! In November last we prepared for the new edition of School Laws, a form for a Teacher's Daily School Register. Before the volume was distributed, but after it was printed, we received a copy of Hall's Common School Register, and, to our surprise, found it, in almost every respect, the very form we had officially recommended. Of course, we can commend Hall's School Registers! Sept.-3t. PAYNE & HOLDEN, PUBLISHERS, Wholesale Booksellers and Stationers, DAYTON, OHIO. Use in Country Sub-District Schools.
