The above report has we have no doubt, been
agreed upon after careful and comprehensive
examination of the textbooks submitted for the
inspection Of the committee. It will be seen that
some radical changes are recommended from the
list adopted five years ago. It would be singular
II during this period some improvements had not
been made in this particular yet, as we have pre-
viously stated, we are decidedly Of the opinion
that II more money is to be spent in our common
schools, II had better be spent in procuring more
competent teachers, leaving the matter Of school
books where 1t is, unless change may be made
without greatly increased expense. It is painfully
evident that in many districts in the state teach
ers OF very inferior requirements in their vocation
are employed. This should be as far IA possible
remedied--the sooner the better. II however the
works recommended by the committee should
after careful examination commend themselves
to the various town committees, we trust they
will adopt them and make their use binding upon
the towns In this county,

The long continued dry wea>
Their is bad on the growing cane,
and ruinous to the rice crop.
Those rice growers who ere
able. and whose fields will justify
the expense, are purchasing and
erecting elevators and pumps to
irrigate their crops, but the relief
thus afforded will be beneis ial
to a very small portion ofsthe cul-
tivatOrs of that cereal. There is
no prospect now in sight for any
rise in the river that will afford
relief, so that the rice grower
must look alone to the clOuded
heavens and his own right arms
for aid.
