BY the aid of Geology, the bowels Of the
earth have been opened, and its golden
treasures have enriched the nation
Phy losophy and Chemistry have bro't
down the lightning from the Storm
cloud and made ii a courier Of dispatches.
Mathematics has measured the distance
to the planets, and determined their
motions and revolutions. These are
some of the works Of science.
But science to be useful, must be we'd
ded to industry. The strongamed
woodman tclls the forest oak with the
AK stcclGd by science; the sturdy yco-
man drives his wcll-traincd OK with
lash from the school of science. Thus
science and industry have searched out
their rcmotcat corners Of the New
World, and caused the fertile soils to
bring forth rich harvcsts.
But little moro than one fourth Of cen
tury has passed over the history of iowa,
since the wild deer was disturbed by the
sound Of the Woohman's Ak, or the wolf
by the bark of the domestic dog. The
wild prairies have been opened to fields
Of agriculture. Cities and villages have
sprung up from the magic touch of in
dustry, and Iowa is now no dim star in
the growing galaxy Of the Union.
we have had Governors who filled
tnrir Office with honor, if not with pro-
fit, and some of them have been honorcd
with II scat in our national legislature.
Now; Mf. Editor, what | want TO SAY,
is not that our country il known from
IT. centre to where the seas wash lis
shores; not that It, iron has been taken
from the bosom of the cart h and worked

ways; in short, | do not want to say
thnt our country Is not known, but, who
knows where Pioneer township IL"
That's the question. Who Is interested
In ua? The minister OF tho gospel "gives
to saint and sinner their portion in due
season - the lawyer pleads the catlSe of
the innocent, and the doctor admins
ters opiatcs to the afflicted, but where is

to superintend our public schools -
Echo gives the answer. In other parts
Of the county we read and hear of Teach
cr's Associations, formed by request tf
always glad of it, but we wonder why
such a call il never made upon the
Teachers in this part of the county. We
have beauty, ,nnanhond ge,itlcne-s, learn
ing, virtue, lihcrality, youth, and such
like, which are tile spice and salt that
seasons society; these with other kind
red reasons, ought To present us to the
calm consideration of the Supcrintcnd-
ent Of our schools.
It is true that we have succeeded in
keeping up our schools for more than
twenty-five years, and our rural schools
have never been addressed by an officer
Of the rank Of Superintendent but once,
and that was IA few days previous to the d,
convention in which he hoped to get Il
scnomination. But being very loyal,
(snce we llogged rebellion and trying
to support the governments, we want 10
share the benefits Of our institutions
Beware now, ye applicants for the vacant
chair Of County Superintendent, for
your territory extends into the uneX-
plorcd regions of Pioneer township.
