Tin: iainti:r.
There wns ft tnnn who painted well,
He painted long and fine;
For at that house lie loved to dwell
And thus his did assign:
"In that housu a maiden fair
A witching spoil around tiai thiew,
Her treses which of light brown hair,
Ilor eyts ot heavenly blue.
Her form so fair, hor sttp do light,
i-ho seemed a seraph from tho skies;
A thing of beauty and so bright
Notvr bciuro did greet Mine eyes.
I lingered on for many days,
Aim in that tirao J thought to tnuko,
Uy loving nets and winning ways,
Morofinooth tho w.iy my "poich to break.
Propitious hour! it came at lust,
.My talonf Into pound out; and oh!
So bright a dream go rudely dashed
Uy ollcrittg a potato."

Editor Jlounduofiut:
I wish to (Iran upon the charity of your
columns relative to the present coin iiiott
nclmol laws, anil some suggestions
therewith: 1 notice that Mr. Wash.
Ci'titeiier, ol .Ieit', in a coiitiiiiiuietitioii to
the Courier Journal, itniindinlely succeeiU
in;.' the ndjourntiieiit ol the EJueatioiial
Convention, at Fraukloit, advoentes the
abolition ol the ollice ol .School
i a mutter of ecotiotny, while one
beaiin the now de (itiouc of "l'edagou," in
the Uoi'MUiiob'T, uiiutH the otlice abolished
hecaiice it is a "nuiynnce." like
doctors, will difler. I have watched, with
no little iuteieht, the discussion ot the
necc.N:iry cliaucs to he made in the present
Hchool laws, and wonder to bee how
dillerent ineti rear-on from the same
premises. It eeetii" to ine thut neither of
the writeis touch the kevnote to thirt question.
There u:e cohesive tainls of logyifiit
adhering to the policy and plans ol many
common school teacheis of experience
That the chool law is sadly defective,
there io no doubt, hut because such is tite
case is no reason for abolishing tins, tltnt
or the olhpr without proper consideration-The
Hubjeet is an important one, and the
many Iriends ol" common school education
had better make haste at their leisure.
Suppose I he otlice ot is
aboiiohed, as a utntter of economy, what
in the leniilt? 'lite clerical lorce ol the
Superintendent's uliiee innt nectsMiiily
be doubled or ttebleil to do the work. The
Siipfiintendeni's teport ntiist be deceptive
and a client, entirely detleicnt us Io Mnti'sties
and oilier mallei s of impoitatiee to the
public. Natl Mr. Editor, 1 renrd the
cllieieiit, energetic uoiitiiiipsiouer as the
backbone ot lite school of bis
county. Jlreak this bone and tlie school
interest acipuies a stmal ol no
little muuitudc, with little hope ot convalescence.
1 appeal to ihe imM ohseivant
ol tbi" Coiiiinonweallh, it the countus
hafiiij: the moit ellicient and
coiiiiiiifioneis, lur.e not ulso the
the inost proficient teachers,
and, in a wold, the scliools. I'Vankliu
county, doited here and theie, (with two or
tit lee exceptions) with new, will cotiMt tided
Inline with a corpi ot
tetichtin that will compaio favoiably with
ol most any county in the St'tite, i-
due in a ieat meuMite to lite
iiud eiKiyics of Dr U. V Williams
and Col. Tito-. H. l'oid,
Aitiu, let Us view the school ststtui,
oliicially, in the liitt ot a well disciplined
and oiheered army. Think ol an
unity without proper' otlicers niectiui; the
loe in the Held ot earnage, the result a sad
detui' ol hotroi; likewise a school system
without pioper olliceis is Itiptlly ilisusttoit
it us
Still again, the i elation of
is the same as that ol the
to the cotiuiy, and also u that
ol the trustee lo the district. The chum in
complete, not a link too much. There's no
".teutci it'ut.011 lor abolishing the ollice ol
commissioner than that ol superintendent
orliuslce. Wheie is theittltocatc ol either?
Watrit, or we will spoil a tpoon to make a
horn.
The plea eeenis to be to innke the County
Judge or County Attorney
The diH'eient c.ijiacities are not
incompatible, but nie ipiiie (liH'erent. The
judge that does bis whole duty us such
will not hate the time to devote' to school
interest.
Disbursing the funds is not till that is
necessary.
We witni ihe schools visited, lectures
inspiring the children lo duly.
.Besides, normal training is u great luck
ol the teachers ol to-day. We want well
organized, well iimnagedTeachers' Institutes,
unit 1 dare suy we will never get those at
the linuds of the County Judge,
We grant there are "frauds ' as commissioners,
but is this a delect in the law pro.
viding the oilice, or in tite law proti.ling
his election.
Now, I have tried to give some reasons
for the odiee of coinmisioner ns of para
mount importance. I wish to subjoin a
"tiggestion or two:
Kitst, I'n v the comuiNsionrr a S'llnrv
Hiillicient to judiiy him to gitc his entire
lime and attention to the hrliool interests ol
hiseoiintv. Then we may expect betttr
results. "The miserable pittance", they
now receitc is not sullicient to justify them
to give tho time and attention to their work"
thai it demands. In thn relation the
maxim, "poor pay, poor preach," t'orciblt
applies
Second, Let the cotintv pav tbi salary ,
the sitnte iisuny county otiieial. Whv not?
He is a county ollicer of the moit important
character.
We, as a county, pay an attorney lo
prosecute our criminals, a jailor to lock
iheiit in; we feed nnd clothe our paupers;
provide them a home and a "hired man"
to take care of them; and in the name ot
common sene nnd good is tin
moral ami intellectual training of our children
lesx impoitant?
Titus paving the commiiMnner we save
to the school fund front S.l.'t.OOO to
annually. Will not ilie end jusitty the
itieans in removing objections, nnd alio in
letaining nn iniportanl ollicer?
Allow none to tie eligible to the ofiice,
who doe" not hold a li;st class, first grade
ceitificato. or a certificate from the State
Board. Make n ictiring judge, aitomet,
or justice ineligible; their with
the court is the apparent ieaou
should be practical teachers.
The picent inanner ot oK'tim: comini
sionets is objeclioitr.ble. jet 1 am unable to
name a plan that is not objectionable.
Elect him as anv cotiniy oliicial, and then it
jtould lie a question of who had the
money to buy votes. Empower the Slate
Board to appoint, and it heroines too great a
tuk toexuect without paving them usalarv,
and theie would perhaps be "a favoud
few" ns under Federal patronage.
Empower the tnisteeslo elect, nnd they
in all probability, are le-s competent to
select the titrht man lor the right place titan
are our L'eihap' twenty-five
jier cent, of tho tt it-tees of the Slate can
neither read or write. I cloe by wishing
Mibsequentlv. to notice the law touching
the "let book," questions and other subjects,
perhaps, less important.
