The following re outions were passed by

II is not particularly profitable to US to
have the time ofour help taken up with call
ers. A printing Office is no place for visits
ors. And while on this subject we might as
well say that the popular idea that an editor
has nothing to do bat entertain visitors is
certainly fallaeious. You don't 60 into a
store or factory and expect business to
cease Tor your entertainment. You trans.
act your business, pass q genial word. and
expect nothing further. Now we like to see
all our friends, especially on business like
TO learn all we can from them like to tell
whatever can be Of use to anybody, and to
risa whenever we have no business to att
tend to. Business is business, and withou,
almost constant attention. thrust be neglec
ted, especially when one has the sole super>
vision of all departments, mechanical and
editorial, Of a nine-eolumn newspaper.

The Winthrop school re.opeued last week
under its former and popular teaches, Mr.
S,ockwell, assisted by Miss Carrie Rich.
Daring the vacation the school house has
been enlarged and improved, but is still quite
too small for the school.
The town is growing rapidly, and one year
hence will require more than double its pres
ent school>room capacity. But the eommu.
nity that can raise, by voluntary subscription,
in one hour, the generous sum Of $500,
to pay for q church building, will never al
low its childre. 10 be educated in the streets
or saloons for want Of suitable school
building.
In the mean time one good step has been
taken aud taken in time; the school has been
graded.
On Thursday last committee appoints
ed by the Board of Directors made tho
rough examination of the school and classi>
fed the pupils with reference to course OF
studies in six gradcs-each grade requiring
eight months, or six school years to complete
the whole course.
At present the school is largely made up
Of primary scholars, and classes were organ.
lied in the first four grades only.
Winthrop is wide>awake, progressive lit
tie town, and has had q good school (which
she has Justly been proud but the day of
her educational prosperity has but Just
dawned.
II the patrons Of the school exercise their
judgment in reference to the temporary
changes in the classification and text books,
which must incidentally result from so radi-
cal change as the grading Of their school,
and cordially support their school officers
and teachers in their efforts to inaugurate
the new system, they may reasonably ex>
pect that the efficiency Of their schools will
be greatly increased, and their expenses ma
terially reduced.
1 am happy to chronicle this item, for il
indicates progress in the right direction.
We have many other large schools in the
county which should be graded, some in
which the change should have been made
years ago. In fact every sub-distfict in
which q school is needed at all, good
school IS needed, school with some intel
ligent design, where the pupil may enter at
once upon fixed course Of studies, and in
which we'll directed efforts may produce def.
mite results.
How much longer shall mental develops
ment be directed by accident causes, or mis-
directed by inexperienced teachers.

a boOD MAN GoNE.-Last thursday
Hon. T.. &. Wilcox OF Independence, died
at bis home of apoplexy. Bat day or two
before he had returned from a buiness trip
to Chicago in his usual good health, and on
the very evening of his death he was well
and at the moment he was attacked by the
fatal disease was preparing for an evenings
visit or party. AT eleven O'Clock Of that
evening he died.
MIR. Wilcox was most estimable man
in all the relations Of life, and, considering
his active business and political life probably
had as few enemies as any man in Iowa.
II was the fortune OF the writer to be in inti>
mate relations with the deceased during his
term as Representative in the lows Assem>
bly, last winter, and throughout the entire
session, marked by much important legisla>
ton in which be took an active and leading
part, and on which there was much diversity
Of opinion, Mr.. W. was ever courteous, frank,
kindly, aud commanded the respect and af>
body enjoyed higher reputation for all
the virtues that adorn a true man and gem
tleman than he and his ability, sagacity,
prudence and industry as legislator was
fully recognized by his appointment as
chairman Of the committee of Ways and
Means-the most important and RESPONSE,
BILE position in the House.
In 1865 he was elected member, and
was reelected in 1861, and the Dubuque
Times truthfully says, in its notice of his
death, that "many Of the wisest provisions
framed by our Lawmakers to protect the
commercial interests of our State are due
in large measure TO his foresight and pru>
dence. Ever faithful in the discharge Of
duty, acting with charity to all, Mr.. Wilcox
endeared himself to his constituency, and
formed a record of which many older men,
bers, with ripper experience, would be proud"
AS a result Of his business capacity and
industry. he had accumulated much we alth,
estimated at over two hundred thousand dol,
lars. He leaves wife and several children
to mourn his sudden death.
No man intimately acquainted with Mr..
W. will fail 10 remember bis excellence
and virtues, and none can ever forget the
genial smile and open hand with which he
greeted all. Peace be TO his ashes.-Ioira

The people of Buchanan county certainly
know how to build churches and to pay for
them. Last week We recorded the liberaity
of the citizens of this city in more than lf-
ting the Indebtedness of the Congregational
church.
This week We have an even more striking
illustration Of the people in the de lication Of
the Baptist church at Winthrop, an account
(which will be found in another column.
The amount raised was $4,000 to liquidate
a debt Of $2.065. What interior county can
make liyelier exibit than that?
We doubt not the Churches will be found
equally as prompt in paying their pastors as
the people in liquidating church debts.
