The COURIER does not want to
establish reputation as a kicker
neither does it want to hurt any,
body's feelings, at the same time we
believe that ii we are to have laws
enacted, these laws should be obeyed
We want to say a few words in re
gard to our school law. 1t has
come to our knowledge that certain
school boards are employing persons
to teach school who are not qualified
under the school law to do So
namely, they have no certificate and
therefore cannot teach. The school
law ilXes the age when any person
shall be allowed to teach school at
eighteen and any person holding a
certificate under that age does so
contrary to law, and if any superin-
tendent of schools issues certificate
to any person under age he does it in
open violation of the state educa-
tional law. We claim that children
should be taught by teachers old
enough to mould the minds which
they have the training Of, and not
by children who need the restrain
ing hand themselves. We quote for
the benefit of the school boards sec
ton IS, of the school law:
Sec. IS. TEACHERS, HOW EN-
pLoYED, QUAL1FIcAT1oN.] 1t shall
employ the teachers of the schools
of the district, and may dismiss any
teachers at any time for plain viola
ton of contract, gross immortality or
fragrant neglect of duty; Provided,
That no person shall be employed as
teacher or permitted to teach in any
public school who is not when SC
employed or permitted to teach the
holder of teachers certificate valid
in the county or district in which
such school is situated; and, Provid
ed further, That every contract fol
the employment of teacher must bt
in writing.
If our school boards Throughout
the county and state, would emplo,
only experienced teachers, and pay
them living wages it would raise the
standard of education considerably

seventy five cents. The cost of pub
fishing the laws in all the papers
throughout the state would be about
$4,000, but our legislature sat on
this measure and then went to work
to appropriate several thousand for
some sucker to experiment on raising
-beets. Such is life. Candidates. for
the legislature should stipulate when
they go to newspaper and ask for
its support, something like this
See here! want the support of your
valuable paper throughout this cam
paign and will promise to faithfully
do all in my power to vote agains,
every bill that will in any wise bene-
fit the newspapers" Yes, there arc
lots of these kind of people. They
will get an editor to work week after
week for his election and when he
gets elected he will turn round and
vote against good measure be
cause it gives ten dollar Job to the
newspapers.

According to the bill passed by
the late legislature entitled can act
defining the boundaries of the Fifth
Judicial District, subdividing the
same, and fixing the time for hold
ing the terms of the district court
therein" that the terms for Griggs
county are to be held in May and
November. Sec. s reads as follows:
Sec. S. That the Fourth Judicial
subdivision Of the said district shall
consist of the county of Griggs, and
two terms of the district court shall
be held therein each year at the town
of Ceoperstown, in said county, COM
mencing on the second Tuesday of
May and November of each year"
According to this the next term
Of court will be held on Tuesday, the
12th day OF May. At this time a
great many farmers will be busy
seeding, but majority, perhaps, will
be through, SO that the time fixed
will not be SO bad after all, and as
the judge cannot fix the dates to suit
each county, it is no worse for Griggs
than it would be for any other coun.
ty in the district.

The COLUMBIAN CYcLopED1A is
the new name and new form of what
has heretofore been known as Alden's
Manifold Cyclopedia, and which has
won great popularity by its high mer-
it, combined with its amazingly low
price. The COLUMBIAN CYcLoPEDIA
will comprise 81 volumns, of about
500 pages each (t!ae Manifold was 30
vols, of 64o pages each), being
about equal in size to Appleton's
cyclopedia, and about 50 per cent.
larger than Johnson's. The entire
set will contain about 1000 illustra-
tions;it is very handsomely printed
and bound, and like the Manifold,
is almost fabulously cheap, the en-
tire set being furnished in cloth bind
ing for $4,000, with easy Install
ment terms to those who want them
Of course, subscriptions to the Man
fold will be completed in uniform
style with the early volumns deliver
ed. Whoever is interested in CYCLIC
pedies will do we'll to secure Gree
specimen pages Of the COLUMBIAN,
which may be had by addressing
