ALL TO WORE

We understand the State Superiu'en>
dent is going to work in earnest. Let
the friends of Common Schools every
where be up and doing. The Superin-
tendent will need all the assistance that
he can command. We mean to labor for
a united effort In this matter. The cause
demands it, the prosperity of the County
demands it. The School law can be
made popular. Let US all try to render
it SO, by a hearty cooperation and united
effort.

INSTITUTES.

This school closed on last Friday with
exercises at night. The attendance was
large and much interest manifested. The
exercises, consisting of compositions and
declarations, interspersed with music,
we're a decided improvement on last year.
We are glad to see improvements made
on the closing exercises of our schools.
Mr.. Peoples has been a faithful teacher,
and, with a little more experience will be
able to rank among the best teachers of
the county. Upon the whole, the exor-
ciscs we're above an average and very
complimentary to the teacher. This
school could not be aided by the Peabody
Fund, and hence closed at this early
day,

TIE TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

We wish to call the attention of the
Teachers and friends of Education to the
Importance of being on the Qui cicc for
the next Institute, which meets in June,
10th 1878. The meeting will be an i'm
portant one, III as much as it will likely
settle on a uniform system of School books
for the County. Teachers must prepare
themselves for the exercises of the Insti>
tute, They should take notes as they
read and be ready to discuss any measul e
that may be introduced.

ORGANIZE.

Under this heading, we propose to Of.
Ter a thought or two on the subject of the
school law, The County Court of each
county shall elect at its April or July
term a County Superintendent. We
deem it proper to organize at once under
tue law. If the Superintendent should
not be elected until the July term there
will of necessity be a delay in the organ
%izatioD of the schools, as many of them
begin the scholastic year in August. We
will gain a point ry going to work at once.
Delays are danferops in school as well as
in ether matters. The present school law,
in our judgment, is all that We, under the
circumstances, could expect. We Cali
make a good thing out of it 70: tie county
if we 90 vigorously to work. We feel hat
we have been paid for al! the labor that
has been expended III behalf Of Common
Schools in the county. In the future as
in the past, we will be rewarded accord
ing to the amount Of work we do.
We are assured that the State Super
intcndent will put the machinery of the
law in operation Immediately. We hope
to scc tie niOtter of common Schools Wig
%orously agitated in every county of the
State for the next two years. We hope
to see our county fully alive to the inn
portancc of this subject.
