COLLECTION OF TAXES,

The Dubuque Times agrees with the
h7,cfeye that the present law, making the
rate of interest after the maturity of taxes
s5oro''ont, in order to compel property
oFners to pay up their taxes promptly, has
I'D fair test, and failed to accomplish the
purpose for which it was enacted, and de-
mands It's modification or repeal. The Times
tanks the rate of interest should not exceed
Ten per cent. per annum, and expresses a
'e'ief that if provision is made that the

To THE TEACHERS OF PorrAwATTAMIE
$50 COUNTY ~ 49, IT. a'~ 's @

At the solicitation of number of the
teachers of our County, you are requested
to meet in this place, at the Congregational
Church, on Thursday, the 22nd of Dec, at
Institute; provisions for the same being
made in Section 81, Act 9th, of the School
Law. The object of this meeting being for
the mutual improvement of teachers, we
hope every male and female teacher in our
County will be in attendance to aid in the
organization. Lectures on Education and
on the best method of mpartins instruction
in the different branches taught in the
schools, will be delivered.
Teachers coming from distance, nre
requested to report thems Ives to the
committee, and places will be provided for
them without expense.
J. B. RUE, Co. Su'pt.)
WILLIAM BAKER, Committee.
G. II. GOODRICH,
->e
We would call the attention of teachers
the notice of our Superintendent for an
Institute, which he proposes to hold Dec.
22nd and 23d. This is an opportunity you
will have to meet together and counsel each
other upon the best mode of teaching and
governing schools. But this is but part that
is proSposcd to be done. We are glad to
l., 81. 1. c.:o l.
here, and that they have secured to address
the Institute, some of the most popular
speakers Of our County. Teachers, are you
prepared to do your duty? II so, come for
ward and do it. You who are engaged in
the noble work, do your duty. You are
now engaged in one of the noblest pro-
fcssions that man can engage in. What can
be more noble than to teach the world to
think, and in the path of duty.
When, at times, we observe the great in
difference paid by the major part of the
community to the cause of education, it
appears the fact, that as civilization ad-
vances, and science, in connection with the
moral rs well as the intellectual elevation Of
man, approximate their zenith, knowledge
becomes tho regulator of society-thc
standard Of honOr-and the OniY means by
which We can maintain the integrity of Il
commonwealth is seemingly forgotten. This
alarming apathy from men Of influence, is
enough TO render the lover of good society
solicitors egarding not only the immediate
vicinity in which he resides, but of th"
country at large. What, then. can be Of
greater Importance or deserving Of more
attention than the educating Of those with
whom are 70 be entrusted the reputation Of
both oar country and ourselves. If, then,
so much depends upon education of the
Young, IL behoovcs US to use every cxcrtion
in our power to enhance oar welfare: and
that this feeling will mra;test itself at tho
Pr m"It:at"l organization of n Teachers
institute for our Countr,ls our sincere wish.
