Editor Times If i. will not be in
truding too much upon your columns,
please permit me to address few re-
marks to my school teacher friends thro'
your paper. .....a.... ..
During the session of the Teachers
Institute, held at Garnavillo, on the
EST week of November last. Teach
er's Association was organized for Clay
ton county. And as there are many
teachers in the county, who were not
present at the organization, and perhaps,
as yet, know nothing about it, las the
proceedings have not been published }
l wish to inform those, that the first
meeting of this Literary society,"" will
be held at Elkader, on Wednesday pre-
ceding New Years.
The presence of every teacher in our
county. would contribute much pleas
ure to all who are interested in this no.
BILE association.
Its design is to advance the cause of
Education, by raising the teachers pro-
fession to high and elevated position,
and creating union of interests among
the instructors of the rising genera
ton.
Gin union there is strength" And
by the combined efforts of teachers,
much may be done for the proper i'll
struction of the young, that cannot be
done otherwise.
Our State Superintendent, by his un-
ceasing labors, has done much for the
cause Of education, aud to him we are
chiefly indebted for the new School
Law. And our county Superintendent
and township school officers, have we'll
done their part to put the law in active
operation.
Yet, conceive that the main respon-
sibility, for the efficiency Of this law,
rests upon the school teachers.
Then shall we mantully and credita-
bly, perform our part. or shall We, by
our inactivity, defeat the snds.of wise
legislature, and allow the best interests
of our county to languish !?
One O'Clock is the time appointed,
and it is expected that there will be a
general turn out OF teachers. Two in
dividuals have been selected to lectuye
on the occasion, and good time is an
ticipated. which will prove of much
benefit to those who are "teaching the
young idea how to shoot"
Elkader has good accommodations,
and more appropriate place could not
have been selected. e. D. EMO.

in Mishawaka. We had the Lecturer
