A SUGGESTION.

1t is to be hoped that the County Court
will prepare itself to take some further ac-
ton in reference to the school matters of
the county. A County System has never
yet been fully organized. The members
of the Court do not seem to feel the i'm
portance of immediate action. Commits
%sioners have been elected In some of the
districts, but it is not known what is to be
done by these officers. In other districts
none have been elected.
The County Court, into whose hands che
Legislature lodged the power to encourage
and protect the cause of education, will be
expected to organize and put into opera
ton some sort Of a system. The time for
opening the winter schools win soon be at
hand. .esonas@aavss De shsR
1t is suggested that the three Commits
sioners from the several districts be organ
lied into a Board of Education. for the
county. with a Chairman, Secretary and
Treasurer. into the hands of this Board
let the Court intrust the management of
the schools. 1t is rot likely that many
schools will be taught under the County
System, but such ar. organization may effect
much good in diffusing among the people
a better knowledge of the value of Conn
mon Schools. Any effort calculated to
disabuse thepublic mind Of the prejudice
existing against free Common Schools.
ought to be made. 1t would be, no doubt,
productive of somc good results toIhave a
Board of Education composed ofthe Com
missioners from the various districts of the
county. 1t would have a tendency, at
least. of keeping the school question in
constant 'dgtdtiOa-the only way to gain
the attention Of an unwilling people.
1t looks like poor encopragementto work
for Common Schools under the cireum-
stances, but they are bound to come some
day. There is no hope for the country
without them. "h We must have patience.
We have been somewhat amused at the
inconsistency of the ofice-seekers. They
leave nothing ~unturned in the pursuit of
their object. The friends of the Common
School interest ought to learn a lesson
from their perseverance, for this is the
only laudable thing We can see in their
actions. To-day they are for one thing.
tomorrow for another. To-day they are
working against Common Schools, that is,
they are silent on the subject. As soon as
the subject becomes a little more popular,
they will very likely throw the weight of
their influence on the side of Common
! Schools. -f.
We suggest that the politicians show
their hands on the subject, by at least.
bringing before the people the Importance
of some kind of schools. '' '.'

The August number of the AMERICAN
SUNDAY School WORKER, published at
ST.. LOUIS, at 81 40 year, contains very
good original and selected articles for
Earents and Sunday School Teachers and
Officers, and a popular and excellent les
son for the Sabbath School, for each Sab
bath, with two pagesof matter to aid the
teacher on each lesson. The plan and de-
sign of one lesson, for the whole school,
with the use of such a magazine for the
teachers, and lesson papers for the scholars,
is rapidly taking the place of all others
modes of instruction in the Sabbath School.
The publisher of this magazine, j. W.

of the magazine lesson paper, without
charge to any address.

WHY ARE TEACHERS NOT
PAID!

The question is asked almost every day,
why teachers are not paid. No satisfacto-
ry answer can be given. The County
Trustee. Capt. Mcpherson, is anxious to
pay OFF the claims but the State Warrants
cannot be cashed. Why this is so we are
not able to tell, but suppose the whole
matter is su bject to the will of the author
tiles at Nashville. The county officers
here are not to blame by any means. but
those who have the power to cash the State
Warrants, certainly do not know how many
of the teachers are suffering for the want Of
their pay if they do know this, they are
surely culpable of sheer neglect of duty,
if they have it in their power to Go any
thing towards the settlement of these
claims. 1t is to be hoped that something
will be done for the teachers, who, on the
promise of the State to faithfully comply
with her contracts, undertook to teach the
sahools of the country. If any class of
laborers honestly earned its wages, 1t IS
the class of individuals who taught the
child rem in the Common Schools, during
the Fall and Winter of 'G7, 'tS and '69
The teachers of this county are not alone
in this respect, for the same is true in other
counties respecting the settlement OF the
school claims, Every possible obstruction
either ~purposely or accidentally, seems to
be thrown in the way of education. Tie
teachers have nothing to encourage them,
should they desire to prepare themselves
for the high and responsible duty of teach
ing schools. Such a policy has been pur-
sued by the State as to drive those who
are willing and qualified to teach into
other professions and occupations. A few
private schools in the most thickly settled
portions Of the country, conducted BY
teachers who nave selfish ends in view, Will
make up the school system. The expert
ence of the past indicates that such will
be the result. Many teachers are not will
ing to risk anything further until their
old claims have been adjusted by the
State. Why have they not been settled
before this ? Does the State mean to act
in bad faith towards the teachers?
