INDEPENDENCE, IOWA, FRIDAY
Sun EIe lDLINESS.

Under "a roof Of pine"
To hear the ringdoye brood,
With the sorrow Of love long past,
Thrilling the listening wood
Deep 'mit the clustering frs,
Where nc nightingale sings all day,
To hide il the darkness sweet
Where the sunbeam finds no way;
To ramble from field to field
Where the poppy is all on flame,
All but TIA. little bIaek coal
At its eore, that's still the same
And where the "speedwcli blue
Cheers with its two kind words,
And the Wild rose burns with blush
At the aattery Of the birds (;
To bask % grassy cliff,
Lazily Watching the sail,
The blue plains Of the deeper sss,
And the shallow emerald pale;
The brcezes' ripping track,
And the sea bird 9ickering white
Athwart the rosy cloud
And under the golden light
In the haycock sweet aud dry,
To la,ily nestle down.
When haIs the field 10 gray and shorn,
And half the field waves brown,
Mid The clumps Of purple thyme,
Whrn the evening sky is red,
To lie and rest on the flowers
one'' Ericurean head
Or better, amid the corn,
To turn ones lazy back,
And sec the lark upborne
Over he drifting wreck;
To hear the field mouse run
To it, nest in the swinging stalk,
And ser the timoroas hare
LimT over the hedge side walk.
Such ar the summer joys
That Epicureans love;
Men with no morrow TO heed,
Heedng no cloud above;
Grasshsppor- men, that sing
Theii little summer through,
And when the winter Gomez,
Iiidefrom the frost and dew.
Happy the man whose heart
Is Sanite against Times frost,
Whes' summer of calm content
In atamn's never lost;
Who, shen care comes with clouds
Thai gather from East TO West,
Has sill a changeless heart,
Andsunshine in his breast.

Yours Of the ll,h ins:an, asking my opin-

to-wi,:
docs the School Law contemplate that
The Superintendent Of Public Instruction
shail have authority to review any orcer or
decision Of County Superintendent when
there has been no forma trial before the Co.
Superintendent, For instance, can the ac-
ton Of COUNTY Superintendent in reyol.ing
a teachers certificate be appealed from BY
the teacher aggrievel? The law seems to
contemplate ,ha, the Superintendent Of Pub
lie Instruction shall have ouly appellate jus
risdicton will such cases as | have indica>
ted be then inciaded.'
AnsVer.~ The law authorizes the County
Superintendent TO examine teachers, and If
he is satisfied the respective applicants pos
sess good moral character aud tue essen
.ial qualifications for governing and instruct
ing children and youth, he shall give them
certificate, ETC., also that be may revoke such

dayit setting forth the errors complained Of,
in plain and concise manner. The County

hold that, under the above provisions.
the right Of appeal is clearly inferrable, if
not directly given to any one aggrieved by
the refusal Of the County Superintendent to
give certificate, or by the revelation of
certificate. This power should, however, be
very cautiously Y exercised, and the decision
Of the County Superintendent should no, be
in,erfered with, except in case of clear vio-
lation OF duty, or where the act was the clear
result Of passion or prejudice.
