CHANGES IN THE TAX LAW.

The amended tax law as it comes
from the last session Of our Legisla-
ture abolishes the 10 per cent. penal
ty on all delinquent taxes after the
LIST Of June, retaining only the two
per cent. per month after said date.
Another important change in the
law provides that those who from de.
fault OF payment of their taxes of last
year had their property sold therefor,
are not only exempt from the ten per
cent. penalty, but may let their de-
linquencies continue for another year
and half, before redeeming or pay
ing any taxes-the two per cent. per
month interest being the only penalty.
The law is given entire in the supple.
ment sent out with this number of

STOP THAT COUGH.

Many people hesitate to try medicine
for disease, on account, of the expense,
connected with the uncertainty of its ben
citing them; while at the same time, had
they confidence in that remedy, the expense
would be the least objection: With this
fact in view, we make the following prop
osltlon: Any person suffering with cold,
cough or sore throat, that will call at G..
scHg1rEN's or any other drug store and
purchase a bottle of Hale's Cough Cor
dial, use half of it and, if they then con-
clude that it is doing them no good, they
can return the bottle and receive back their
money.

rHE sErD OF NORMAL soaooIs.

The St. Paul Dispatch, evidently
forgetting that the Legislature has
adjourned, launches out in fresh at
tack on the State Normal Schools
Its style Of argument is novel, if not
convincing:
"A teacher, like poet, is not made, but
born teacher. Rules do not make teach
ers, any more than rules create and pulsate
young hearts,
Therefore, We are given to under
stand, any special training for his
work is time and money thrown away.
All he has to do is to be "born a
teacher" and let rules and systems go
to the dogs. But a. the number Of
persons who come into existence
ready.made to carry on the great
work of educating the children Of the
land is extremely limited, it has been
found necessary to take material
somewhat less brilliantly QUILTED
and by careful and judicious training
render it available to meet the grow
ing demand. While rules may not
make teachers, they are of very great
assistance to them, and the teacher
who refuses to study methods oftrain-
ing shows that he has missed his vo-
cation.
There is a vast amount Of nonsense
in this thing of being "born" poet,
an artist, teacher or lawyer.
Nine-tenths OF those who attain sue.
cess in any of the arts, sciences or
professions do 80 because of hard work,
severe discipline and the careful study
of methods. These are their instru-
ments, and can be no more ignored
than a carpenter can ignore his plane
and hammer. No one objects to law
schools, to medical colleges, to mill
tary schools and to theological semi
naries. Why to Normal Schools ?
If lawyers, doctors, soldiers and
preachers need special training for
their work, why do not teachers?
The duties imposed upon them are
quite as important and scarcely less
difficult than are those of the men
who fill the other professions. Even
the tailor who makes clothes for our
children's bodies must serve an ap-
premiership to learn his business, but
the teacher who clothes their intellec-
tual nakedness is to work without
apprenticeship or training in his bus
mess.
The truth is, that under our pub
lie school system the Normal Schools
are an absolute necessity, and the
State can in no way invest money
more pro6tably than in their liberal
support. The men who give the
most attention to this matter realize
most forcibly the inadequacy of the
number of trained teachers to the de-
mand, which is steadily increasing.
Mr.. Sanford Niles, County Super
intendent of Schools of Olmsted coun-
ty, in bis last report says:
"While many teachers fail, and
while some districts seem fated to a
succession Of poor instructors, I be-
lieve that the average standard of
qualifications is higher; that we are
gradually improving our modes of
teaching; that there are more and
more, each year, who seek to honor
their profession.
"Our chief hope lies in teachers
who are thoroughly educated for their
calling. We can not make great
progress until some plan is devised for
the professional training of every
applicant for license. All our edu-
cational work centres in the teacher"
