Theory and Practice.

1t is one thing to acquire knowledge of the sci
ences. 1t is quite another to the principles
methods, and agencies involved in the great work of
mparting wise education to the millions Of children
that are placed under the of the teachers Teach
ing is of such nature that is not successful unless
there L . love for the work. There kinds of
work that may he done well without with
love for them. Not With taasLirg. Having love
for the work, We more readily overcome is un-
pleasont parts, and more likely to prepare for
them The highest aim of the teacher should be to
do good, fDs bis life is a success only far it
isusefnl to his felow-aea. This motive should crowd
out all others that eroveliins IN their nature He
should work with earnest desire to have il said of
him. ser he is dead, The world is better by his ay
ing lived in if.H
While the teacher nast duly consider the above
motive, it will not do to forget bis psy. The qucs-
ton y aseep asked, Have not too many teachers
that work only iss TIE money. No doubt this ques-
tiou might be veil answered. " the affirmative If
this be ha only motive be is in the xrpag profession.

honest employment, than to rob the youth OF their
precious time for in nine out Of ten. this class
of teachers is a consummste failnre.

IN LUcK.-A stroke of good luck has just be-
fallen the Kansas Legislature. 1t may fool
away its time in investigations, and passing
bills of no Importance; but upon one subject it
has clear sailing, and need not go amiss. Smed-
ley Darlington. of West Chester, Pennsylvania,
(the man who has sued Doniphan County on
her bonds,) has addressed message to the Leg
islature, through the columns of the Topeka
Commoarealih, giving it its orders, and telling
it what it may and may not do. The bill to
enable municipal corporations to compromise
their Indebtedness, he decides imperative,
and recomends that the children of Kansas be
taught that it is a sin to steal. Mr.. Darlington
prefers that the law should remain SO that the
capitalists and spectators whom he represents,
may taks advantage of the ignorance of the peo-
pie of Kansas, and their desire for public i'm
provements, and deceive them into voting bonds,
then by sharp practice swindle them out of tho
bonds, and compel them to pay them, dollar for
dollar. Honesty should be taught the sharpers
who have been robbpg the people, as well as
the people who have been swindled.

PUBLISHING THE LAws.-A bill has been intro
duced into the Kansas House of Representatives
providing for the publication of laws of gen.
eral nature in two newspapers in each County
in which newspapers are published. 1t should
become law. All citizens of the State are re-
quired to obey the laws, and should know what
they are. A copy Of the Kansas Statutes costs
from So to s10 and not ons citizen in thou
sand can procure them. BY paying - year
for a newspaper, which nearly every man in the
State does anyhow, he would get the laws, in ad-
iition to other reading matter. As this would in
clude only the laws of o general nature through
out the State, the cost would be comparatively
small. Perhaps it would not amount to more
than 25 cents to each man, in the way of taxes.
And by being acquainted with the laws, it
would be the means of saving many citizens
hundreds of dollars.

~ Judge VIC. Webb, in the Topeka Com
mon treaith, proposes three amendments to the
State Constitution. Kansas needs new Con-
stitution, not tinkeriBg of the old one, and the
sooner she gets it, the better The money spent
on Cod:fying Commissions, adopting Constitu-
tional amendments, and lost for want of Con-
stitution meeting the requirements of the State,
would more than pay the expenses Of Consti-
tutiOnal Convention.

The wonder is, that single Jew has been
found in the penitentiary. With their peculiar
morals, that anything is right in order to beat a
"Gentile," and their facility for swearing all

SHOULD NOT PAss.-The lawyers are struggling
manfully for their rights, and to throw OF the
yoke of oppression. A bill is now before the
Legislature, amending the laws so as to give
the lawyers the right to designate in what news
paper Sherif's sales shall be published, in cases
in which they are the attorneys. 1t was intro
duced by Charles ii. Miller, of Leavenworth,
whose paper does not receive the sberif's pat
ronage, and hence he wants the lawyers to con-
troll it. II would make but little difference to
ourself, personally, how the law was arranged.
We think it wou.d bs to oar advantage to have
the law as the bill proposes to make it. But for
all that, the bill should not become law.
When case goes into of the hands Of the Sher-
i'll, he becomes responsible. He assumes all risks
in effecting a legal sale, and making every
thing conform to the laws-the lawyer takes no
risk at all. The Sheriff, therefore, sbonld con-
troll the publica tion Of all notices devolving up
on him. The lawyer should have no more au-
thority in this matter than he should to select
the jury to try his cases, or the bidders to bid
on the property offered for sale. In most cases,
sheriffs will put their notices in such papers as
will accommodate the lawyers; but when i t
comes to making this imperative. the thing is

the laws, and TO administer them. They want
all the money arising out of lawsuits, and ask
to usnrp the rights of the officers elected to car
ry ont the laws. 1t is time the people were re-
solving to reserve some few rights for them
selves.
1t is worthy of remark, that the Leavenworth
Press was started chiefly on the promised pat
ronage of Sheriff Bond, who was bitter enemy
ofCol. Anthony. But at the succeeding election,
Sheriff was elected who was favorable to An
thony, and gave him all his patronage; now the
proprietor of the Press asks that the law be
amended to operate just contrary to VIII at it did
when the paper was started, expecting to re-
ceive the benefit of the law as it exi sted If
amended now, perhaps the law, after the next
election, would be just what the publisher of
the Press did not want. Those law enacted for
the special benefit of one or two men, are almost
certain to retu IN to plague the inventors. Let
the law remain as it is.
