He hath no friends to s'treat." he is
poor and hath no enemies.
When he riseth in the morning his
stomach IS not rebeIlious from over
feeding; neither doth he click his sill

these dimes?"
When he eateth he is not vexed BY
multitude of dishes.
His lands will never take unto them

He hath no ties for money; there

turn away from a five center,
Yea, gherkin will he relish, and
storm the out-works of steel clad bis

Yea, even the itinerant canvasser for
Redpath's History passeth swiftly by
him on foot and selleth not unto him.
He loveth none but himself; he is

He maketh his lair in bar room;
he squatteth in key while it is day,

| We are much pleased at being able
to announce this week that Prof.
Thayer will conduct our Institute in
September. This we apprehend will
be hailed blythe teachers generally
Especially by those who attended the
Institute last spring under his able
management, as bit Of good fortune
much desired but wholly unexpected
No doubt Prof McGregor would have
filled the bill entirely to our 5atisfac,
ton, but in having Prof. Thayer re-
turned, and that for a two weeks
session, we are about in the position
of district which having good
teacher is fortunate enough to be able
to retain him. OF course every teach
er will SO arrange as to be regular
attendant and faithful worker.
A few facts and figures cleaned
from ex-Stato superintendent Soaring
last report for 1877 There are 5, 564
school districts in the state. The
whole number of children over four
and under twenty years of age return

than ninety TO each district; Of this
number but 291, 270 are reported as
having attended public schools, while
26,490 are reported as having attend
ed private schools, colleges, etc.
The whole number of teachers en-
ployed last year in the public schools,
was 9,S56. More than one-third Of
the schools changed teachers in the
course of the year. The average
wages of male teachers, not including
the Independent cities, was S4O.3
per month Of female teachers the
average was $26.35.
The amount of taxes levied for
school purposes in Chicago, last year,
vas $433 ,695 As, or a little over ten
per cent of the whole city tax. The
average salaries Of teachers was

clause. "No pupil in said public
