STOW THE MONEY GOES.
BY JOHN q. SAKE,

How goes The fhoney3-Well,
I'm sure it isn't hard to tell :N
1t goes for rent and water-rates,
Fot bread and butter, coal and CRATES,
Hats, caps, and carpets, hoops and hose
And that's the way the Money goes
How goes the Money?--Nay,
Don't every body know the wayH
1t goes forbOnnets, coats, and capes,
Silks, satins, muslins, velvets, capes,
Shawls, ribbons, fGrs, and furbelows-
And that's the way the money goes
How goes the MoneyH--Sure,
l wish the ways were something fewer;
II goes for wages, taxes, debts,
II goes for presents, goes for bets,
For paint, pOmmade, and eaude rose
And that's the way the Money goesl
How goes the Money?-Now,
I've scarce begun to mention how;
1t goes for laces, feathers, rings,
Toys, dolls--and other baby-things,
Whips, whistles, candies, bells, and bows
And that's the way the Money goes!
How goes the Moneyl--Come, y
Iknow it doesn't go for rumi
1t goes for schools and Sabbath chimes,
nsOesfor eharity-.ometimes,
ciens, and such thpgs as those
-. ~ soney goes?

Though we have been able TO speak OF
progress III the character and qualities
lions of teachers, yet the nHD,der of good
teachers is not sufficient to meet the
wants OF the schools and for the present,
some have been licensed that would not
be. were there others to take their places
Sume, also, who have established good
reputation as teachers, are leaving the
business Tor other emrloyments, for the
reason that they cannot obtain sufficient
compensation. and one which Is available
\ large number Of the districts are sadly
i'll debt. The teachers, ait ey have
earned their money and obtained their
orders, are frequently obliged to hold
them from six to eighteen mont before
they can obtain their value, or sell them
at a discount. They usually need their
money as soon az it is earned, and the
fact that they cannot obtain it when due,
is driving many of our best teachers from
tie profession An improvement III the
financial department. of number Of the
districts would be very beneficial.
Greater facilities are also necessary for
improving the qualifications OF TEACHERS.
One of the agencies to which We look at
present for accomplishing this, is teach
ers institutes. They will be held here
after, whatever it may cost but could the
Legislature of our State think proper to
encourage US, by small appropriation to
each county for this purpose, it would be
very gratifying to the friends of education
The want of uniform school tax
throughout the State, and compensation
to directors, are regarded as among the
defects of the present system. Could
they be remedied, still greater life and
effectiveness would be given to the cause
Of education But these defects have
been urged upon the attention of the
School Department and the Legislature,
by large number of the County Super.
intendents, in former reports; there
fore leave them with this passing no,
tice, hoping the time is not far distant
when that attention will be given to then.
which the cause demands.
While these defects are referred to.
with others that might b. mentioned ON
confidence is not at all weakened in tn,
main features Of the system. Though
not perfect, its utility and practicabiiity
will compare fayorabiy with those which
have been much longer in use, and w
believe that efficient directors and super
intendents, thoroughly to carry out it,
provisions, will secure TO the people OF
this Commonwealth, all that its most ar
dent friends have anticipated.
