It is ju6t that the public should know that ' the present Superintendent of Common Schools docs not ask or desire a re-election to that office. 11l health is the only reason for this determination, for the association - and connection with Iho schools of the county have been to him entirely agreeable . and pleasant. True, it has tint been a - source of profit; but in the present condi tion of public education the duties of the office must be filled more as a labor of love than for money. Mo man who seeks the position for profit is fit for it; and it will be well for the Directors of our county to re meinbor this at the Convention next month. , We were repeatedly urged to have our sal ary raised, but our answer always was that wo knew what the pay was when we took - the otfiee, and knew too what its duties e were. i- If the pay had boon throe limes as large 0 we could not have served the cause any b better. It so happens that there are only s about two mouths and a hall—front the rnid y die of December to the first of March—in - which school visitations can be made. 'Take , out of these Saturdays and stormy days, 1 and there are not on an average over lour a days in a week which can be givon to litis i' out-door work. The wonder then is rather I I that wo visited as ninny as wo did, than s I that we did not visit more. The first year i | we field the oilico five mouths and visited - three fourths id' the schools. The second /year we visited nil but a tow which wore | either closed or inaccessible by reason of I f snow drills when we were in the district.— | l.ast winter we did all we could, and visited j I all except about 25 schools, notwithstanding j j sickness front exposure, and the had roads, lint the most benefit resulting front a su pervision of the public schools is in the | work sit home: where almost every day I some teacher, director or citizen comes lot I information or with a bill of complaint. It | is in explaining the workings of Iho colli j moo school system, in reconciling dtllictil j tics, r.:::! it! preventing feuds and law-suits ' that most good can bo done. We found it ! was not enough lor us to frswiiir the tcitch ! crs who presented themselves, we were ! obliged in many eases to instruct them We ' rejected about a dozen each year, and would | have retused certificates to others it there j had been material with which to supply ! their places. When xvc came in'o the otliec we lotttid .' that in several townships the provisions ot the common school law had never been complied with, and that tiro children had ' been cheated out of an education. In Ilea j vor the Directors were removed, anil in 1 Uoaiiogereek were compelled to open the schools, and we have the gtatilieatiou ot seeing tor the first time in the history of the county that even township is acting under the common school svstem when our otliei ! al connection with it closes. When we came into the otliec we found no concert ot action between the teachers tor their improvement in learning or in j | teaching. We orgtllittiil a Teachers A MO- | ciation which lias held six sessions and 1 might benefit Teachers very much. Hut we suggest that there ought to be more at ioiition given by them to improvement tn j the sciences and less to die exaction ot high w ages \\ hen true excellence shall bo once attained that xvtil < >.si.iu.t good ;\i\. No doubt the tanlt lavs very much with the directors tor not discriminating lni\xeen a poor and a eonipeient teacher. Tor it * good certificate xvas once paid well it would become an object tor which teachers would tr\ to prepare themselves, it is a truth xvlue.li may as well be told, lor the public ought to know it.— ih>ctl\>u>;hs of the | tracker* of ll its roii>i/y air oaf* eminent tecs Fhex have no doubt the average mental c.v ; paecx of other young men and young wo imen in the State, but they need much train ing to bo teachers Most of them frankly ' conies* this to its when they come to be examined, and attiibuteit to their want of propei instruction.
