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 a few suggestions.
am not "down on Teachers In
stitutes"--not even opposed to them
as voluntary Associations, but decid-
edly so as paid Institutions. 1 do
not arge that they do no good, but
simply that they do not pay. The
average cost Of Institutes cannot be
less than 81, 600, and very likely ex.
cecds this amount. The expenditure
or such sum as this should produce
a decided result. at55
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 a 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, II urged
against almost any other Organiza.
ton, effected for a similar purpose in
any other department OF labor, would
insure Its destruction. 3
We take it for granted that the
object sought to be effected by the
Institute is not mere acquaintance
with, or discussion of, topics OF COM
mon interest, but something in the
way of driu 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
order?- ?-and this, too, when nearly
all those whom he 10 to organize and
instruct are present the first day and
eager for the work to commence.
Now look at the Institute. Not
more than one-half are present the
first day, and but little more than an
organizati0n % Ie6eeted. The second

RestraIning stock, !.

f. It isamOunccdl on what seems to
pbe some authority, and backed VI, by
apparently reliable figures, gthat The
fences in Town costinore than all 9th.
OF land expenses, including taxes.
1t is plains to severybodya at least
that the cost of fencing r. enormous
The idea is spreading that the true
theory ip regard it9q qfenAcs is not that
"A man SHOULD fence out his noighbors'
stock, obut that he should fence in his
own, h This il a 1lrad5cai chaHge from
the present plan.,a and r. adopted
would make q great reduction in tile
cost Of fencing. "a With this view, np.
merous petitions havebeenpresentP d
to the Iowa Legislature, asking the
passage Of a law to prevent any stock
from running at large. 5True,1t this IS
a subject having two sides to it, with
many reasons and arguments on
each, For instance, how would the
law operate on stock-raising, as "a
business:~ Could stock be herded on
wild land? How about the total cost
of such herding? And how, ifstock
thus herded should trespass and do
damage on cultivated lands not en-
closed?te What is the teaching of ex-
kFaxiaa sasith GasS to geQeral
stock law? Should we expect an in
crease of neighborhood litigation II
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 a 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 a tax q hum
dred times more oppressive, and not
half as excusable, as that which
lighted the flames Of the Revolution
and deprived Great Britain of her
richest colonies. IC WOuld not only
save millions of dollars every year to
every State, but it would improve
'immeasurably the character OF st0cx K, /,
and secure the purity Of breeds by
preventing contact with scrub bulls:
1t would enable every far,ncr to req
late the tiEie Of calvin q; it would
avert the losses sustained by stray
ing; it would prevent litigation, and
the resuiting perjury and profanity;
1t would confer q Charming sense of
security, save anxious days and
sleepl..ss nights, aud do more than
any other cOnce. .vabIe thing to pro-
mote good neighborhood. Fences
make more rustic quarrels than
whisky does. The public apathy
on this subje ct Is incomprehensible;
and by and by, when each State COM
pels the restraint Of stock under a
heavy permlty, we shall wonder how
We lived. when every man had to
barricad.e his crops, and every active,
bOny, fAmine-stricken steer was q
free cOTnm0ner. az
