Teachers'f institutes.

Mr.. EDITOR:-YOur article on
Teachers Institutes has doubtless
called the attention Of many of the
Earnest friends Of Education" to
the subject, and may enlist other and
ADLER pens thar mine; but if it meets
with no other response, will you give
place to few suggestions.
l am not t'down ON Teachers 1n-
stitutes"--not even opposed to them
as voluntary Associations, but decid-
edly so as paid Institutions. 1 do
not urge that they do no good, but
simply that they do not pay. The
average cost Of Institutes cannot be
less than s2,000, aud very likely ex-
ceeds this amount. The expenditure
or such sum as this should produce
a decided result.
Passing by the objection urged in
your article, that "Too many Insti-
tutes as now conducted do not do
much good" we will consider them
in the most favorable light possible.
We will suppose that the Conductor
proves to be the right kind Of 4 man,
and that the Teachers are prepared
to cooperate with him, and then
claim that there are valid objections
to the present system Of County, In
stitutes-objections which, IL urged
against almost any other Organiza-
ton, effected for q similar purpose in
any other department OF labor, would
insure its destruction.
We take it for granted that the
object sought to be effected by the
Institute il not mere acquaintance
with, or discussion OF, topics Of COM
mon interest, but something in the
way Of drill in methods Of teaching
and discipline; something that will
the better enable those who attend it
to make their School efficient insti-
tuti0ns. If this is correct, then the
work before the Conductor Of an In
stitute is not easier Of accomplish
ment than that before the Teacher.
But what Teacher does not know
that two or three days are required
to get his School into good working
Ordere- and this, too, when nearly
all these whom he Is to organize and
instruct are present the 6rst day and
eager for the work to c0mmence.
Now look at the Institute. Not
more than one-half are present the
first day, and but little more than an
Organization Is effected. The second
day. the In,situtf. we NJ! ssqqppose,
enters upon IT. woEk u come Meth-

nestrainiDg stock,

IS It is announced on what seems to
'be some authority, and backed up, BY
apparently reliable figures, that the
fences in Ibwa cost stmore thnn all 9TH
er land expenses, including taxes.
1t is plain to everybody at least,
that the cost of fencing Is enormous.
The idea is spreading that the true
theory in regard tou fences Is not that
"A man SHOULD fence out his neighbors'
stock, .but that he should fence in his
own. This il a radical chasge from
the present plan and II adopted
would make q great reduction in tile
cost Of fencing. Will, this view, np-
merous petitions havebeenpresentcd
to the iowa Legislature, asking the
passage Of a law to prevent any stock
from running at large. True, this Is
q subject having two sides to it, with
many reasons and arguments on
each. For instance, how would the,
law operate on stOck-raisiDg ms "a
business Could stock be berded on
wild land? How about the total cost
of such herding? And hoA', ifstock
thus herded should trespass and do
damage on cultivated lands not en-
closed?'a What is the teaching Of ex-5
spssiene aKith ia 4 general
stock law? Should we expect an in
crease Of neighborhood litigation If
such law were adopted?
The subject is an important one,
and ought to be fully considered, on
all sides, before action is taken. A
pretty full summary of the argu-
ments in favor of stock law is given
by recent writer as follows:
The advantages Of fencing stock
and letting crops run at large, are
numerous and obvious. In the first
place, it would abolish tax q hun
dred times more oppressive, and not
half as excusable, as that which
lighted the flames of the Revolution
and deprived Great Britain OF herl
richest colonies. It would not only
save millions of dollars every year to,
every State, but it would improve
immeasurably the character Of steex,
and secure the purity Of breeds by
preventing contact with scrub bulls;
it would enable every far.ner to reg
late the tiEle Of calvipg; 1t would
avert the losses sustained by stray
ing; it would prevent litigation, and
the resuiting perjury and profanity;
it would confer Charming sense OF
security, save anxious days and
sleepf.ss nights, aud do more than
any other cOnce'. vable thing to pro-
mote good neixhborhood. Fences
make more rustic quarrels than
W hisky does. The public apathy
on this subje 1t is incomprehensible;
and by and by, when each State COM
pels the Restraint Of stock under a
heavy pernlty, we shall wonder how
We lived. when every man had to
barricaGe his crops, and every active,
bOny, fAmine-stricken steer was a
free cOnmOncr.
