EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

The School Board of Woodstock, Illinois,
contemplates establishing cabinet of zoology
and botany.
According to the forthcoming printed report
OF the Superintendent of Public Instruction
for Illinois, for 1S77-7S; this State contains
only 4,562 children between the ages of 12 and
Il who ocannot read and write, 2,61S males and
1914 females.
The whole number of male teachers en-
ployed in the public schools of Illinois in
lS77-7S was 8, ,475; female teachers, 12.S1T:
in Michigan, in lS76-77, 3,7S1 males, and g.
22O females in Iowa, the same year, 7,34S
males and 12,51S females; in Indiana, S,1O9
males and 5,465 females.
Chinese schools are chary about comforting
theirdegrees. They are slow to make progress
and still hold the idea that degree ought to
mean something. At a recent competitive
examination forty-two of these degrees We're
conferred on candidates who had not obtained
them until past ninety years of age.
The New Orleans schools cannot accom-
modate as now managed the large number Of
pupils applying for admission. The superin-
tendent proposes, therefore, and very wisely.
that only the lawful number of sixty scholars
shall constitute a class in the primary depart
MELT and that applicants in excess of that
huhlOef snail De organized into separate
class for the afternoon session, the others to
be dismissed at noon.
But what we do protest against, on general
principles, is the tendency in too many
instances to employ ''cheap teachers" Surely,
if the mind is worthy of culture, it should
have the best talent that can be had. When
the question is narrowed down to a choice
between A. who can be employed al thirty
three dollars month, or B. who can be had
at thirty dollars, without reference to their
qualifications, the whole business is reduced
10 very low plane, indeed. 1t is not the
common sense, business plane. 1t is not the
policy that governs the thrifty farmer in buy
ing horse Burlington Hd,rkeye.
