PERKINS Sc RES OF
SCh0o oil Books.

We have been much interested in an
examination of series of School Books
designed for full course of ma'he mat
ica. from the Elemen,sof Arithmetic up
TO Geomelry, by GEO. r. PERKINS
J. l.. d.. Cor many years Princi-
pal in the New York State Normal
School at Albany, but now FEST
ding here as Land Commissioner Of the
d. N. & r. Co.
We have no! been able TO give 10 these
books that thorough examination which
books upon such suffice. demand. but
we have glanced through them 90 far
as to enable US TO comprehend 10 some
degree The design which they appear to
have in view, and We can say that as
connected series Of School Books for .
full mathematical course, they seem to
US to be superior TO any other series
within our knowledge. The volumes
before Us are very handsomely printed
and bound in the m os, substantial man
ner.
We take pleasure in commenting this
series Of Prof. Perkins 10 the attention
of our School Officers and Teachers, as
very desirable one to introduce into our
District Schools and Colleges. 1t will
afford Prof. p. the greatest pleasure, we
are sure, 10 furnish to all interested such
information in relation TO them. as may
be demanded.
As we were looking through these
books,a tho ugh. occurred to US which
We will mention in this connection. We
are too apt to regard these improve
ments, such, for instance as the Demone
improvement, in material point of
view merely, and TO forget that one OF
their necessary results will be TO intro
duce among US the men of learning and
scientific attainments of the older sommu.
mites who will brirg with them their ex-
perienced and heightened regard for edu
cation and for the intellectual as well as
The material Development Of our coun-
try. Such men are wei come, they will
do US good, for as they comprehend our
immense resources ard find out what a
beautiful and desirable country we have,
they will desire TO see colleges, and SEM
inaries of learning, of the highest order
Of excellence founded here, and they
will aid us in various ways in securing
them. There is one thing that the River
Company is doing that is commendable
and will tell powerfully upon our future
They are compiling and scattering

We would barely and briefly say 10
our friend up the river, who. under the

importance of the town OF Eddyvile,
whe 70 all the trade of the Des Moines
valley concentrates! is wagiEg, but with.

the prosecution of his purpose, saw Fl,
10 make certain assertions about the bus
mess OF the said towns. that, by ev
cry principle Of good logic, il devolves
upon him TO establish his assertions, and
not upon US to disprove them.
Our very worthy friend aforesaid,
without any unfriendIy feeling at all to-
wards Ouumwa, but very coolly and de
liberately says in substance that the ex-
ports and imports OF Ouumwa, in luding
the hauling OF the same, did not in his
opinion much exceed $50 600. That is
his assertion. lie makes i, gratuitously,
and without provoca,ion, as a fact, and
as such sends j, forth on the wings of
the press. That is his proposition, aud
il belongs to him to furnish 10 ali honest
and candid public the facts within his
knowledge upon which he based it. He
can't and won't be permitted to injure a
neighb or tv such publication, and ge,

impotence, why don't you show tia,

No Sir! Il was for you to know before
you stated or insinuated such thing,

Now this is what we wan, our friend
10 do. We want him to Sc, forth the

world iha, The exports aud imports OF
Oitumwa could no, exceed $4,000
no. the facts which he nigh, get hold Of
or the facts which we nigh. furnish him,
but the facts in his possession a, the time.
This is a distinct and complete assertion,
not at all mixed up with the imports o..
hog operations Of Eddyvlle or any 9TH
er town.
There is one thing more we would
like our friend to do, and that is TO ex
