Iowa Sanitary Affairs.


~ Commission met in this city on the 2lst
inst, and closed it's SESSION on the Odd. It's
deliberations were characterized by great
harmony. One of its prominent acts was to
memoral'ze the Legislature, praying for an
appropriation for the relief of the soldiers
families by giving a stated sum per month
to each wife and child under giving age, to
be disbursed by the authorities of the coun.
ties, instead of the Commission as recon-
mended by the Governor. 1t was decided
to rely entirely on volun tary contributions
for sanitary supplies, and ask appropriation.
only to deiraY expenses Of the Commission
so that all donations may 60 direct to the
soldiers. The Board asked Of the Legisla-
ture that Contingent Fund for sanitary
purposes be placed in the hands of the
Governor to be used only in cases of emer-
gency

districts, and assigned an agent to each.
whose duty is to canvass his district, en-
courage the organization Of societies, stipu-
late contributions, and disseminate informa-
ton on the subject generally. The State
Agents are Rev. E. S. Norris, OF Dubuque
Mrs. Simmons, of Clinton Mrs. Hagar, of
Burlington, and Mrs. Lockwood, Of Council
Bluffs. Mrs. Wittenmyer fully operates
with the Christian Commission in the es-
adjustment of low diet kitchens in connec-
ton with hospit,ls. The army is divided IN
to four departments for sanitary purposes,
and an agent assigned to each, whose duty
it is to see to the distribution of san itary
stores, and ministe. to the wants of sick
and wounded soldiers. Army agents were
appointed in connection with the Governor
as follows DR.. Udell, Of Centerville Mrs.
Captain Horner, of Knoxville, DR.. Mcclure,
OF Dubuque, and Mrs. Chitten den, Of Keo-
saqua.
The Board also recommends the appoint.
ment OF a Surgeon General, who shall be as
signed to the field under authority from the
War Department. His duty is to visit all
Iowa regiments, examine hospitals, advise
with Rrgimental Surgeons, and make
monthly reports to the Governor. together

LECTURE OF CHEF JUsrIcE WRraHr.-
We had the pleasure oflistening to the very
interesting, practical and able lecture Of
Judge Wright, before the Teachers Insti-
tute on Monday night. The long residence
Of Judge Wright in the State, the rare op.
portunities he has enjoyed Of becoming ia,
miliar with the letter, spirit and practi-
cal workings Of orr Common Schoo, law,
aud systems and the great interest he takes
in the cause Of education as we'll as in Agri
culture aud all other causes essential t, the
well being, progress, and happiness of his
fellow citizens, prepared us for an able dis
course upon this subject; but we must con-
fess that we were agreeably disappointed
in many particulars 1t was more practical,
it dissected so to speak the subject more
thoroughly. it entered more into the details
Of the S, stem, its abuses and its require
tnents, than we were lei to expect from one
not practical educator. The point that the
administration of School laws was more i'm.
portant than the laws themselves was emf.
nently just Too much has been expected of
the law and too little thought given to en-
forcing it. Systems we have had many,
some eight or ten within his experience in
the State. School Officers, particularly Dis
trict Officers should be the best men in the
District, not necessarily numerous, bu. the
right kind of men. Parents should take
more interest in Schools. should visit them,
thus encouraging their children. School
houses should be more comfortable, c,nvcn-
lent and pleasant. In conclusion, he would
have our children not only imbued with a
knowledge and love of books, but he would
have them educated to love, revere, and cher.
ish our Republican Institutions Oul
Schools should be nurseries Of PATRIOTISM
This portion OF the lecture was truely elo
quent and called forth repeated applause
from the large audience, one of the largest
Of the season n.a.... .... s.... =.
