assembly of jadies and courtiers who were
presided over by the Czur, had met, but the
conjurer was absent. Surprised and dis.
pleased the Czar pulled. out his watch, which
indicated five minutes past seven. • Pirnetti

The first point' to be:detarmineikie,-wbether
the whole, or only-portion, o(the officer's time--
will be required for the full discharge of the
office. This will Wholly depend, on the num.

In - smaller oountlee a lees portion of the offi

be in proportion ; but. all oases enough
should be,given to secure his whole time and

• The only ogler gener'il principle to be kept
is view in arranging

king it large enough to command the very besk.
Profession's' talent within the reach of. the
COnventien For 'reasons already given, no
other should be thought of.'
I's-The Man, then , _whom Law, Experience and ,
-the Wants of the• System demand for County
Superintendent, is: A practical Teacher, who
is alsiyan accomplished. scholar, and a yeady
public speaker .with sotficient'iovefor it to tin

Wherever-such a nun is found, he should
be selected Wherever hoe already been
found, he 'should be retained.,
ALthe present time it may, be proper to re
call to the atiention g f Conventiona to elect
County Superintendents„ that Section 40 of
the school law of Bthof .11Iay, 1854, confers
