Of waste--the waste of mind-of that ROVER

The School House is a better institution than
the Court House or the State House. In the
State House laws are enacted; in the Court
House laws are applied In the School House,
Legislators, judges and %jurymen are made. Es-
peoially is the School House indispensable where
popular government is made a reality, by free
suffrage and general eligibility to Office. 1t is
impossible to over estimate the importance of
universal education, where every boy is to be q
voter, and any bow may be a President.
To make the School House efficient, teachers
must be not only qualified, but honored. The
responsibility of their trust, the magnitude OF
their work, and the dignity of their calling
must be acknowledged, and not coldly acknowl
edged only, but thoroughly appreciated. The
community hardly yet begins to realize its debt
Fl of gratitude, honor and reward to the teachers
of It's schools.
These things are obvious; but what practical
