II will not be very long before the fall
rains will render labor on the roads very
difficult, If not impossible, and it is therefore
very important that the road Supervisors
should perform their duties 1t the earliest
possible period. Recollect that your work
is for both ia and spring, and that . bad
slough left a few weeks without, working viii
prove y nuisance until next umner dry
season. In every case where labor remains
to be performed, where poll taxes are behind
or money remains in the hands Of road Su>
pervisors uncxpended, the outlay should BY
all means be made before the bad weather
of autumn.
1t i. very important that the work should
be done in such a manner as to prove effect
i've. Simply to turn a furrow in a slough
and to scrnpe q little dirt into the middle OF
the road. leaving il in unsightly heaps. will
not render the ground paasable next spring.
Drive your plows deep, scrape up the dirt in
the most liberal doses, nicely rounding and
smoothing it OF, build good ~sluices low
enough down to allow all the wster to pas,
through from the upper side, and then b.
sure to construct a ditch to carry every DROP
of water entirely away Gom the su.a. TIL
bitches at the read side should DC do,l
enough to effect thorough drainage. In fac
this is the great secret Of success il ths9a

than the original slough designed to be i'm

since, W. observed that the " IL. Al.
die Of the road had bee~ m---.,.

efai c3 zen credi,able alone TO chaos. Il was
hs~.I,faished job and We venture the as
%sertion, although entirely ignorant Of the
parsonage, that the road Supervisor who
. bossed' that job manages bis farm or his
shop in precisely the same manner. Hence
as a naturally following thought, although q
digression, the necessity Of selecting the
mos, thorough, energetic and systematic man
in the road district for road Supervisor be
comes plainly apparent. As a rule, the mar
who conducts his private business success.
fully will display the same efficiency in pub
lie business Of q similar nature. There are
some exceptions, blu. the rule is pretty cor
rect.
We repeat; let the work On the roads be
done early aud thoroughly. 1t is better ,c
thoroughly fix one bad place than to
" fool with half q dozen.

On Saturday, the 18th inst, there occurr-
ID At the Court House . Qsise mesting ol
school officers Of this essaty, WSsss eaas>
actions we're Of uaussAl imPotsAass % iAs
cause OF education. The 0setanganentsed
at tho coll Of the Co. 6spsratssdent, NJ. 8,
@. Pierce, and we doubt not those Who wcrs
present fully appreciated the wisdom Of the
call. They certainly manifested the true
spirit Of educational enterprise in responding
to it. We regretted our inability 10 be pres
ent, but have been kindly furnished with full
minutes Of the proceedings by the Secretary,
Mr.. J. b. Caldwell.
1t will be observed that action was taken
with reference to uniformity in text books,
in teachers wages, and in wages Of certain
school officers. The members Of the Con.
%vention pledged themselves to use their in.
f%uence to prevent the employment Of teach.
ers who fail to attend the Institute. The
district boards were recommended 10 sp>
point = committee Of three TO examin schools
near he com mencement and Close Of each
FERN. A committee Of three was appointed
to report at the next meeting plans for school
houses and grounds.
All the above subjects are Of the utmost
importan nee to the success Of our schools,
and it is gratifying to know that the mems
bers Of the Convention took such liberal and
progressive ground with reference to them.
One great fault of our school system has
been q want Of cooperation between school
officers. Ii would seem that this difficulty
in our v county is about to be obviated
by this happy thought Of voluntary a~ssocia>
ito, Of school officers. We believe that
whenever the legitimate head Of the county
school organization manifesto the proper dis.
position and ability to lead the way in edu,
c%ational progress, the natural effect will al
most invaria bly,, as in our own county, be IA
excite q %livelier interest in the whole subiec,
OF edu"aiion, on the part, not only Of schoo
officers, but Of the people in general.
The Convention did we'll to recommend
tbs publication, by the Co. Superintendent
OF his notes Of his visits TO the schools Of tn,
county. This will havsa tendency both L
increase public interest and induce teacher,
to exert themselves the more earnestly Il
make their schools successful.
The next meeting Of The Convention viii
lie held 1T he Court House on the 9th o
