the trustees of the several school districts are
the only persons who have any legal right to
employ teachers in their respective school
districts. The law, however, does not grant
the school trustees the power to foist q teacher
upon community, in opposition to the wishes
of that community, or majority of it.
Hence, we advise that communities select
their own teachers, and that these teachers be
formally employed by the school trustees,
provided the teachers have complied with the
requirements of the law. ~ = - n..sg .
The people of the county will see that the
funds, at the disposal Of the school trustees,
are not large. Hence, in the locating OF
school houses, great judgment should be ex-
ercised by the neighborhoods. That locality
should always be chosen which will meet the
necessities of the largest number of children.
It should be arranged, by the trustees, to keep
the schools open for at least FIVE months. No.
teacher need expect to receive for his or her
services more than twenty dollars per month.
The schools may be kept open during any
time in the year. .@ts,
The prospects of the schools, we must say,
are encouraging The trustees, we feel, are
encouraged. They manifest great interest in
the welfare of their several school districts.
This is evident from the fact that they per-
form q vast amount Of work, for which they
do not get, in many instances, thanks.
To teachers, we would say, encouragingly,
that this is cash age. You will receive
prompt payment for your services. No school
teacher will be allowed to open q running
account with the State. Remember, also,
that merit will secure employment, whilst in
attention to duty will drive you from your
vocation. :. s r. LATHAM, u

$4,7S1.42, that the balance due him, and paid

that one item of his credits in it is, January

being the same amount which had twice be-.

appears to be no voucher for this item. The

we perceive how the item was satisfactory to

A REAPER.

The Salem (Oregon) Statesman tells a fun
ny story about the performance OF a self
binder reaping machine while following I'm
attended a team OF runaway horses. The
course lay through a field of wheat contain
ing about a hundred acres !; and, strange to
say, the machine kept together, and bound
every bundle that came to it with light
ming rapidity. When the team was stopped
the machine had cut and bound about a
hundred and fifty bundles but the swath
was ''crookeder than the tangle OF the Mol
lala."
