EDITOR CENTRAL nECukD:
After our snort but pleasant Wis
It to our old home this summer, we
resolved to partially resume our Ior-
.ner relation 10 the dear old CENTRAL
ACCORD; but SINCE our return to the
lIuosier State, one duty has been fol-
lowing SO closely III the footprints of
another that our time for correspond
ence has been limited. However, each
Saturday as we eagerly peruse the
pages of treasured items about our
friends ami their welfare, We more
firmly resolve to let them know how
pleasantly we are situated.
Today ends our first month of school;
and very pleasant month, indeed, has
it been, tor we certainly have m )del
school with all the modern conveuien-
c's. With all due courtesy to Oio
kentucky and her school-system, we
shall have to confess Ito you kentuck-
ians) that we are better pleased with
he HoCsier school-system than ever.
Everything is more systematic. The
tenant officer has already been around
to investigate the attendance; but he
did not find any out of our school and
we suppose he found very few out any
Wnere. Inc puplIS attend res u .arly,
and will during the entire winter.
Although We have had our Institute
of one week, we have Township In
stilute one Saturday in each month
during the school term, in which we
discuss our reading circle work, Pla-
to's Republic and Social Elements, and
SO other subjects, as Method, School
Management, and some of the common
branches. Besides these we have Our
County Teachers Association on Fri
day and Saturday after Thanksgiving.
20 you see we rarely ever lack the
chance of mingling with fellow leach
erS.
If we did not have a faint recollec-
ton of reading an article some months
ago penned 10y our worthy editor in
which he praised the meritorious
points of Hoosierdom and contested
tn m with some of the darkest ia ults
of the grand old State, kentucky, we
should greatly fear that we have
boosted too much of one of the grand
est things of this State, the school
system; but, as it is we feel per ectly
safe, and shall leave well enough
alone, at least until next time.
