OUR WEEKLY.

Subscribers will notice a considerable addition
TO the amount of reading matter in the present
number Of our paper. as compared with former num-
bers. Should our tri-weelIy succeed as we antci-
pate, there viii be still greater improvement in
our weekly in this respect. Our present number is
made up of the contents OF but ttco tri-weekles !;
those hereafter issued will have the contents OF
three making some eighteen or twenty columns of
reading matter each week. This is nearly twice as
much as has heretofore been given, and a consider
ably greater amount than any paper in Racine coun-
ty gives TO its readers AS to the character Of this
matter it shall be ouf effort to make it both useful
and interesting, well knowing that quantity is of no
great consequence, unless due attention be paid to
qnaH y. Our object in these efforts and improve
ments is to getnp a paper worthy Of the patronage
of the reading public. We are we'll aware that
heretofore from a variety of causes, our paper has
com0end it 10 the patronage OF tie public; and we
are impelied now to make Improvements, as much
from the pride feel in the matter, as from any
hope or expectation OF pecuniary gain Immediately
to flow from it. But we do not mean to say that
this latter consideration is not desirable. It is per
haps hardly necessary for US to say that whilst we
shall much crafty oursef by presenting the public
weekly with a sheet worthy of their patronage we
shall earnestly hope for that patronage to attend
upon our efforts. To be brief, we wish to extend
our subscription, and we design to print paper
worth at least all ask for it, we solcitthc names
of all who desire good family newspaper from this
point These are exciting and stirring times in the
department Of news. 1t VIII be leading object
with US to furnish readers with faithful abstract
Of all that is interesting at as early day as posi-
bic. Our terms will be found at the head Of the
paper We viii add that we are in a situation to
take all kinds of produce in payment Of subscrip-
tons; and notwithstanding the hardness Of tie
times at present. we have no doubt il people Will
respect to time OF payment, &c, which will be full
Iy satisfactory. VIII those who already take the
Telegraph, and feel disposed to encourage our eff
forts, lend us their aid They can do great deal
for us with very little effort Ii they would pro-
cure us say, even subscriber each our list ould
be doubled; and we have no doubt great majority
Of them can do so. viii you not Try, friends

II with direct reference 10 the interests of at least
600 OF this number which allowing so to each
district, would require 10 districts We think the
estimate would lie reasonable to allow $3.50 as the
outlay Tor house and lot in each district amount
ing in the whole to the sum OF $4,000 and we be-
lieve $1,000 would be high estimate if one house
were erected TO accommodate the whole differ
euce in favor of the Union school of $500.
And the Board are strongly impressed with the
great advantages afforded to Educational progress
by comparatively small investment for school APP
plratus. particularly such as relates to Astronomy
Philosophy, Chemistry, Geography and Mathemat-
les, when for such investment from one to three
hundred dollars would suffice. Of these our pres
ent select Schools are of necessity destitute for
small districts, we can hardly suppose they could
be obtained One outlay for this purpose would
not only suffice for aUnion chool, but most essea-
tally promote the progress of tie scholar. We
sometimes hear the objection that il our schools
are made free and the system at the same time i'm
prov ed burdensome source OF expense would
arise from the numbers who would send their
Children from abroad to participate in the superior
advantages the school would then afford TO this
we reply-that while it would give character to
our place, and thereby inspire public confidence
IN our growth and prosperity, the admission OF
scholars from abroad would be subject under our
control and a means Of obyiating the objections
