Justice. Juries and Jurists.

Mr.. FDIToR-I see an article in your
last in regard to the case OflIundley and
Boyer, which reminds me Of 4 feeling
becoming very prevalent among the
better class of community. that a change
i. imperatively demanded in regard to
the trial and punishment of criminals /;
and it is likely to soon take such shape
that the stupidity and bribery of one
man cannot chang" a jury, and that II
man will be eligible to the position of
juryman who has an opinion upon the
current topics of the day.
But what is the present character of
our courts? Is not the truth in them
based upon the sacredness of an oath,
while perjury is more common than
their sessions, with no thought Of pun
ishment? And what is the character of
those who principally run these expens-
i've moral machines? 1t is an old maxim
that ''the partaker is as bad as the thief, '
and if a man steals $4,000 and gives 4
a / lawyer $4,000 to clear him, what re-
lation does the lawyerh hold to the crime?
But We are told that it is an honorable
profession, although nearly one-half Of
its criminal bushes is to clear the guilty
and turn criminals loose to prey upon
society, AMI in the Hundley ease, | un-
derstand, it was a partnership business,
the condemnation and acguittal. For
the protection of society, it is demanded
that criminals be punished and reformed.

laws. made and interpreted by lawyers.
is not accomplished, who is AZ
countable if the people take the punish
ment into their own hands, as they are
likely to do? The feeling in Gentry
county, as | recently heard it X resscd,
was to do what the court prevented the
Sheriff from doing-pull hemp. So that

would seach. There are, of course,

would never seach. There are, of course,
some exceptions to this popular opinion.
and q few persons sensible enough to
esteem the teacher and his profession
but | speak of the feeling which sways
the multitude and too far neutralizcs your
influence and prevents and debases yonr
power. A large majority, even of intel
lisent people, think that the profession
of teaching receives all such persons
who have tried all other kinds OF busi-
ness and failed, or who are too lazy to
work. and yet imagine that with a little
knowledge ofcommon branches, enough
to pass an examination, they can teach
at some price, provided they a find a
school. This being the popular view
taken of the teacher and profession. it is
no wonder that YOU often feel depressed
yes, degradei-by the power of this
prejudice which characterizeS You rs a
nobody. But l hesitate not to assert,
without fear of successful contradiction,
that the qualifications needed to give
success in any calling, common sense,
good Judgment, and untiring industry
are demanded in larger measures in
teaching than in any other profession;
and that the really successful teacher,
male or female, can succeed in any
business for which he or she feels a pre-
objection. And he who can succeed
moderately in teaching, can succeed
eminently in almost any other business
in which he may engage. Teachers
must work for themselves and with each
other, against this popular and wide
spread error. and the way to do it is to
make yourselves more worthy and o
efficient. Their. is no business which
requires so great n versatility OF adap-
tation as that of the teacher, and the
adaptation of means to ends is wisdom.
Wisdom is nothing more nor less than
common sense. The teacher, above all
others, requires this power.
The successful common school teacher
can accomplish almost anything that his
good sense will permit him to aspire to.
If he does not manage 4 school well, be
must not expect to succeed well in any
other profession. If he has mind
enough. energy enough, perseverance
and moral characterand influence enough
TO meet the difficulties arising from Il
common district school. if he can make
his school attractive, if he can harmo-
nize the discordant elements in the chill
dren and people in his district, and grad
ually, but certainly. bring a good, moral
atmosphere into the neighborhood. he
has a power to accomplish n work that
angels might aspire to. What good
teacher will desire to do less:o

Tempereture in School.Rooms.

Permit me to call the attention of the
County Superintendent, and of the va
rious boards Of education, to the I'M
in which uniformity Of temperature is
prevented in nearly every school-room
in the county. At least three-fourths Of
the school rooms are entered directly
from the outside air by n door in the
center ofone end and tn" picture which
greets the eve, is n central aisle which
appears to have no other Use thar 10
hold a stove with a huge affair, called n
drum, on top of il. The background of
the picture consists Of 4 solid wall with
a broad black baud running horizontal
liz across il: in front of which, and eX-
sct!y in the center of the extreme end of
the aisle, sits the teacher, rainly endeay-
oring to see the pupils who sit facing
him. at the double row Of desks which
hank the central aisle: the whole inte-
rior arrangement forming a model OF
Inconvenience and discomfort worthy of
the admiration of the worst enemies Of
education. For, every time the door is
OPENED, the cold air enters Ia ill up the
partial vacuum caused by the opening
of the door. and the warm air having
more mobility, or less specific gravity.
il displaced and driven to the further
rnd Of the room; here it meets a solid
wall. and no avenue of escape offering
in this direction it returns toward the
door, only 10 be again pressed back by
the opposing current Of cold air. The
consequence is that while n end of the
room is intentionally warm, the other
end is uncomfortably cold. TO make
matters still worse. the chimney is gen.
orally built at the emil of the room oppO-
site the door. and from the stove in the
center Of the room and center of the
main aisle. \ stove-pipe is run near the
ceiling 10 the chimney. Running hori-
zontally, il soon fills with SCOT, and by
~'rcfusing to draw" proves an additional
source of vexation. There being no
screen around the stove, those who sit
At the ends of the four desks nearest the
stove are generally halfroasted. 1t is in
vain that the teacher endeavors to ma
neuver his classes with precision and
order, no one can pass the stove. In
fact, the whole arrangement is a marvel
of bad taste and discomfort-and all be-
cause of the stove. How easy to apply
the remedy. Build the chimney near
the door, place the stove a little to one
side of the door and in line with a row
Of desks. By this means the aisle is
cleared, the teacher can see the school.
and a greater uniformity Of temperature
is secured throughout the room.
