THE TEACHER.

If teachers desire to improve them
selves in the art of teaching, let them at
tend the Institutes. These gatherings of
teachers afford the best, the most practical
and the cheapest mean of %self>improve-
ment.
The advantages are numerous, the ex-
pensc small, the opportunity a remarkable
one. A few years ago, no such advantages
were offered the teacher. He is not now
without his professional school. but great
er things will be required Of him. He
must improve his advantages.

WHY Is 1T,

It is quite apparent that the school
interest is made secondary, that is, we
attend to every thing else, and look after
the public schools. We find a disposition
to undervalue the education of the peo>
pie. Asa ass,politicians seem to doubt
the sexpediency Of educating the masses.
1t is very difficult matter to ascertain
their position on the school question
They are disposed to make akind of foot
ball of the school law. They are ex>
cecdingly apt in finding the defects Of
the system, but slow to suggest improve,
ments. This mears something.
The citizens of the county have been
favored with a number of circulars from
the candidates. What do these circulars
have to say about the school question ?
Not q word. Their positions on every
other question are defined, but not a
word for or against public schools. What
does all this mean? We know that the
authors Of several of these circulars are
secretly opposed to free schools. Why
do they not come out and define their
position? The people want to know why
these men oppose the education Of the
poor mans child. They want to know
what is the meaning Of "Let every man
educate his own children" They want
to know what is implied in II educated
my children, let every man do the same"
We have heard it suggested hat "can.
didates ought not to take a decided stand.
1t might offend some body" Ii being a
candidate, deprives a man of his indie
pendeuce,it is disgracefal to U for office,
aud no man ought to sacrifice his man
hood for apparent popularity or any
other consideration. We want men to
Gil our offices, men who are not afraid to
stand up for the right aud advocate the
principle that the property of the State
should educate the children of the State
There are defects in tue school law,
every body Acknowledges it, but aftcs all
it is a gosd law, Ehorc are also difficult

TEACHERS

Superintendent Harms, Of Knox county,
very appropriately says: "These Insti-
tutes have no resemblance to educational
conventions or mass meetings, where teach
ers are dosed with long speeches and few
practical ideas to help them in their work.
The Institute is a school where teachers
are taught how to teach and nothing more.
1t does not combine any superAuous dem
onstrations for the benefit of spectators.
This much explanation is deemed necessa-
ry for those teachers who may desire to
know exactly in what Institute work con.
%sists."

THE PRESENT high rate Of rents is at
tracing attention all over the country, par
ticularly in the large cities The working
classes complain that while wages have
fallen nearly one third, and the cost
Of many of the necessaries of life has been
reduced, rents are as exorbitant as ever
they were. A Harrisburg letter writer, in
speaking Of this subject, says: There was
ga meeting Of workingmen held at one of
''the great iron works near this city few
d" days ago, the object Of which interests
"men of this class in all parts of the State
at was called to consider a proposition to
''be made to the landlords from whom
"these men rent houses to reduce the
"rental. All over the country rents have
"been maintained with a tenacity which
"shOws how greedy the landlord is, and the
argument that such property does not
"pay more than three per cent. after the
taxes are satisfied is Of no force in reply
D." 10 the eXorbitant rates demanded In all
directions. National, State and NUM-
cipal taxation are so high that, to secure
a fair return upon Ieal-estate investments,
landlords are compelled to demand large
rents, but the whole question must, in the
very nature Of things, soon adjust itself
The difficulty which exists is only another
illustration of the fallaCy of doing business
on a paper currency, and shows the neces-
sity of returning to specie payments as soon
as nossible
