TEACHERS COLU MN.
CLAY WOOD, EDITOR.

Perhaps there is nothing that should con-
Germ the teacher so much as the health and
comfort Of those little ones entrusted to his
care. Parents are even more anxious, If it
DO possible, about their children's health
than their education. 1t was certainly wise
in our legislature, to make knowledge of
physiology and hygiene, an essential requi-
site to obtaining certificate.
How often have little children, who were
in perfect health, when let out from the
school-room, for brief recess, exercised
so intensely as to become 10 state Of pro-
fuse perspiration; ard then, coming in would
seat themselves in draught of cold air,
through some uplifted window, and thus
take colds that would terminate in death.
Whose negligence or simple ignorance is
responsible for all this2
Many teachers, too, have such views of
the importance Of order their ideal of or
der is something akin TO sleep or death)
that, rather than have little confusion In
school, occasioned by crowding around the
stove, they have the pupil to sit hour after
hour with wet or cold feet. Better have o
little disorder, or even no order, than to be
morally responsible for the effect that may
follow such inhumanity.
Directors are frequently to blame. went
to school one Of the coolest days of this
winter, so far and when I arrived at the
door l found it locked, and upon inquiry at
q dwelling near by, a,ccrtained that the
teacher had dismissed about On hour before
for the reason that there was no coal.
Directors should be compelled by law to
give bonds for the faithful performance Of
their duties, and then they should have ad-
equate compensations for the same.
Iwish teachers and directors would be
able to answer me the following intcroga-
tons when come among them:
]. Are the school house and ontbuildings
in good repair and in proper condition?
2. Are the seats and desks properly az
ranged and Of suitable size for the pupils?
8. II the room light and cheerful?

report Of John II. Shsffer, Secretary Of
the State Agricultural Society, shows
that the corn crop of 1874 was one of
the largest ever raised in the State. The
average was given in many Of the
counties. Some were ~ high a. fifty
five and sixty bushels, and the lowest
wac in Fremont county, whore on 20.
count Of severe drouth, the crop sv-
eraged only fifteen bushels. The re-
port in regard TO the wheat crop was
also very satisfactory, showing large
increase, although in some parts ofthe
State it was injured by insects. All
other grains are reported in the same
promising condition. The report also
shows that tho interest in cat
tie raisiDg 10 very much on the
increase, and that there are now
some Of the best herds in the West
10 tho State. The showing in regard
to the growing Of hogs, places Iowa
o. tho banner State OF the Union. It
gives the statistics Of the six leading
States in the Union in this product,
lows, Illinois, Indians, Ohio, Ken
lucky and Tennessee. The number
in Iowa was 100000, about 10000
less than last year, but 2S0000 moro
than was raised in Illinois, which
