Elder John Thayer, devoted mainly to the

that the General Government have any
constitutional right to appoint officers for

Small Debts.

People by paying their small debts
would aid materially in bringing about a
batter state of affairs in reference to money
matters. We don't wish to be undrs: God
as opposing the idea of paying large debts,
but many are unable to pay them, owing
to the strlngency Of the money market. If
the smaller ones were paid there would be
quite visible change in the quantity of
money which would be changing hands.
There are but few perons, comparatively
speaking but owe more or less, in small
sums, and, and very few but what have a
few dollars. and were they to pay out dol
lar or two OF their Indebtedness, the money
would be set aHoat and would probably pay

These habits, once formed, it is very diff

little authority over these Juvenile night

them habits of industry and moralty-fur-

Schools.

As the season of the year in which
School Teachers are to be employed, has
rolled around, it will not be deemed out of
place to make few remarks upon the du-
ties Of those concerned.
1t is presumed that each district--so 10
speak--has elected a Director; if not, it
would be The duty of the Board Of Trus-
tees in session, or their Clerk in vacation,
to appoint some one 10 fill the vacancy, un-
til the next annual election The better
way, is, for the districts to represent their
preferences by petition. The law is silent
In reference to whose duty it is to appoint
in such cases; but i! seems proper for the
Trustee. to appoint at their regular meet
ings, or for the Clerk in his vacation. As
there is nc oath taken, or bond given bv
the Director, we can see no evil that would
likely result by adopting that course.
The Director presides at the meetings of
the district, and ascertains who majority
prefers for a teacher; the Director makes
their choice known TO the Trustees, who
make contract with the teacher, if thew
think it advisable. 1t is the exclusive bus
mess of the Trustees to employ the Teach
ers, and have each Free School taught an
equal length Of time, without regard to
the number of scholars, or they price they
they may have TO pay. In some Townships
the Trustees make an equal division Of the
school money. among the different dis
trlcts. and let them employ teachers on
the best terms thsy can; however equitable
this manner Of dividing the money may
appear. it has not the sanction Of the law.
neither would it be just in our opinion
To illustrate, suppose district No. has
10 scholars, all studying the elementary
branches. The subscribers would select a
person 10 teach their school, who they all
know to be qualified to teach in that place,
and although he could not pass rigid ex-
animation; yet so far as he had been taught
it had b en- done correctly. In view of HE
limited education he can be employed for
fifteen dollars per month. In district No
2 there arc 80 scholars, the larger portion
OF them studying Arithmetic. eosraphy,
and the higher branches of mathematics,
consequently they must have teacher
with a collegiate education, or he will not
fill the BILL the result is, that he will have
three or fc..r times the amount required to
pay the teacher in dist L. 1t will be per-
ceived at a glance, that if there was suf-
hclent amount of money to pay a teacher
Tor three months in district one, it would
not pay for a school in district two, for
more than one month; this all would
agree to be unequal. A similar result will
DC tie case whenever the money is equ" lily
divided among the different districts. The
business of the Trustees is to look after
