The State Board of Education

This educational branch of the Legislature
Of Iowa adjourned on Saturday last: having
held session of three weeks. All the edu-
cational laws Of the State appear to have I'M
dergone through revision by the Board,
and such amendments and alterations have
been made as they in their wisdom deemed
necessary. The general act for the govern.
ment of schools has been amended in several
important particulars. Instead of the town.
ship Clerk being made the Secretary Of the
Township Board, the Board arc authorized to
appoint President, Secretary and Treasurer
outside of their own number. These officers
however, are not allowed to vote in any case
except the President, who may vote in the
case of tic, only. ..
The Township District system is retained,
together with all the general features Of the
old law, excepting, of course, the instance CT
ted above, and some other amendments OF
more or less Importance.
A separate act was passed, relating to the
duties and compensation of county Sdperin-
tendents. They are required to visit the
schools and make thorough examination into
the manner in which each school is conduct.
ed, in all its various ramifcations, and point
out such reforms and improvements as may
be deemed necessary. He is also required to
lecture at least once during the year in each
district. lie is to receive two dollars per day
as compensation for his services, but in nc
case shall the aggregate amount OF his pay be
more than three dollars per school for all the
schools visited.
A bill was also passed authorizing the Ger
man or any other foreign language to be
taught in the schools, provided the distric,
shall vote in favor ofsuch measure; but it is
required that all branches shall be taught ir
English-the languages as well as every
thing else.
We understand that the committee on Re
vision, (of whom Mr.. Hildreth, Of the 10th
District was chairman,) made a somewhat
lengthy report upon the numerous petition.
and memorials referred to them, which W.
shall publish when received. This repor
embraces review Of the workings of the diff
ferent school systems in this State during
the last ten or fifteen years and sets tortl
the reasons why it would be impracticable a
this time to return to the old single, or indie
pendent, district system We think this re
port, when published, will be perused by on
educational friends with much interest.
