as one who has taught for years. say, if
this is to be DONE it is difficult to see what
encouragement there can be for young persons
to incur expenses, from year to year, to quail
fy themselves more fully for the discharge of
their duties Most certainly our schools will
not make the advance under such circumStan-
ces, that the friends of the system have
right to expect Many times entire strangers
are employed, and Directors do not see their
certificates, if they have any. How can they
then know which schools such individuals are
competent to teach All teachers cannot be
expected to be equal in literary ability and the
schools do not require that they should be-
In some, good grammarian is needed, while
in Others grammar may not be required at all

may be pupils we'll advanced in arithmetic,

ginners. Can Directors properly select teach.
ers for these several schools without the least
knowledge of their attainmouts other than
the fact that they have certificate of some
kind.
One of the greatest hindrances to the pro-
gresS Of the schools is the multiplicity of text
books. In some schools | have found three
four and even five kinds of Biographies, as
many kinds Of Arithmetics aud GrammarS-
In such cases teachers are obliged to have such
a number of classes that it is impossible to do
we'll by the schools. Frequently there are
four classes in Geography, whereas but one
would DC required if oil had the same kind of
books. 1t is not deemed advisable perhaps
to make radical change of books at once,
but it is very desirable that Directors take
hold of this subject and do something to pre-
vent ally and every person who may come
along, from introducing new text books into
the schools. The law puts this whole matter
in the hands Of the Directors just where it
should be, and requires them to act in the
premises, and if they would act prudentIy, and

tain portions of Illinois. The land-sharks
very much retard the growth and development
of this state They are great detriment to
d" the great west" and will continue to be so
many years hence.
Perhaps it may be of some interest to your
readers to know how we feel in regard to the
nomination and election of Honest Old
Abe" Let me say, right here, that his nom
inaton was received with great JOY" and We
consider it almost, if not quite, literal fulfil
ment of an ancient promise, which declared
that in Abraham shall all the families of
the earth be blessed" The Republicans are
wild with enthusiasm and the Fillmore men
throughout the state are not far in the rear
They are nearly oil in for odd Abe" The
Republicans here are sure they can carry this
state by at least Is, 600 majority and some are
even willing to bet on 10000 majority for the
rail splitter.
1t is fact conceded by some Douglas men,
that LINCOLN will carry this state. We are
confident of success in Illinois,. Will the Re-
publicans do ther,duty in Pennsylvania. How
do you feel bsethren,-what are your pros

4 HUNoEovs INcIDENT.-A laughable Incl
dent occurred recently, not many miles from
Dansyilc the circumstances of which are re-
lated by the Daily Herald of that village, as
follows: An old gentleman farmer, who had
two handsome daughters, was so cautious Of
his charge that he would not permit thea to
keep the company of young men. However,
they adopted the following expedient to enjoy
the company of their lovers. After the old
man had retired 70 rest. the girls would hang
a sheet out Of the window, and the beaux
would seize hold of it and with the assistance
of bis lady love who tugged Justify above.
would thus gain entrance. 1t SO happened
that one evening the girls hung out the sheet
too early, for the old gentleman, by some i'll
wind, was accidentally around the corner, and
spying the sheet, could not conjecture the
meaning of its being there So he caught hold
aud endeavorcd to pull it down the girls sup
posing it to be one of their fellows began to
hoist and did not discover the mistake until
the old mans head was level with the window
sill, when one of them exclaimed, Oh Lord
it's dad !" and, letting go the sheet down came
the old gentleman on the ground, dislocating
one shoulder, which convinced him that to
make old maids of his daughters was matter
not so easily accomplished ; and withdrew all
further opposition to their keeping company,
and he was soon father-in-law.
