"To the farms-to the cultivation OF the soil,

better advice than that of the Bible-'When
YOU hear Of wars and rumors OF wars, nee ye 70

factory operatives are out Of work, tradeSmen
are out of work; many of them were prougnt
up on the farm, and to the farm they can return
with advantage to themselves. We ehave crown
ed too much into the cities and towns, ana every
depression Of business leaves too many persons
dependent. If euch have not farms, any patch
of land on which they can raise vegetables,
when they have nothing else to do, may prove
to be very profitable fora coming winter. tnefe
ought to be far more land under cultivation in

THE WEATHER are now in the latter
half of April. The former half was, as gen
eral thing, cloudy, rainy and cool. 1t was such
weather as is usually expected in April-not
cold, nor yet warm enough to bring vegetation
forward too rapidly. The continued rain was
a iue preparation of the earth for warm dry
weather, which, 1t is to be hoped, will soon be
granted. AT present, it is unpleasantly COOL
but as the weather ia proverbially tickle, and
especially go in April, change may be expect

EDUCATION.

To be educated, is the nalicnable
right of every child in the State. 1t
is written on his soul by the finger Of
God-and time nor change cannot
wash it out-and it should be rc-writ-
ten in the Constitution and Laws of
every State or country. The child OF
the poor man is not less immortal
than the child of the rich man. His re-
sponsibilitics as thinking, intelligent
being, are the same. Each is follow
inc y path which leads to the same
future state of rewards or punish
mcnts. As the State is bound to feed
and clothc the bodies Of the helpless
and dependent children within her
borders, so is she equally bound to
educate their minds, and prepare them
for the duties and responsibilities OF
after years.
Education for the masses must be
universal. Schools cannot be univcr'
sal unless they arc free. Therefore,
all schools for the education OF the
masses must be free schools. Hence,
the correct doctrine is, "the property
of the State should educate its chit
dren :" and this is the fundamental
doctrine of the new school system of
Iowa, Reason, experience, and COM
mon Justice, all favor free schools, and
they should be universally established
affording to every child an opportuni
ty to obtain thorough, practical cd

TO SCHOOL DIRECTORS.

| wish to call your attention to the
fact that provision is made in our
School Law, by which every sub-dis-
trict may be supplied with Wcbster's
Dictionary. This is a book much
needed in our schools, but as yet it is
found in but a small portion Of the
schools of our county, and it rests
alone with you &c determine whether
your sub-distrct shall be SO supplied
or not. 1t is supposed by some sub
directors, that it is necessary for the
entire Board of Directors of a Town
ship District to act in the matter, or
at least majority of them, but this
is not the case. Although it would
be desirable that the Board should
supply the entire District. yet if they
refuse or neglect to do it, the sub
director of any sub-district may Or
der one for the use of his own
School. (Scc School Law, Part xx,
Sec. 2) l earnestly hope that you
will take immediate action in this mat
ter, and, through your District Sccrc-
tary, certify to me the number desired,
as the law requires. How many shall
we order for FLOYD county?
