Rensselaer Republican, Volume 12, Number 25, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 March 1880 — Educational Department. [ARTICLE]

Educational Department.

Edited by D. B. Nowata, Co. Superintend«L ' To Te&ehenu ~ I took the liberty of placing the county paper in which the Educational Department is conducted in yonr hands, teachers, without consulting many of yon. Tour names are placed on the subscription list for six months; this being the average duration of the schools. Why I wished it to find its way to you and your work is that, it is the best medium of communioan between this office, the teachers and the schools. In it have made all announcements, <fcc., which would be of importance to teachers, and furnished each teacher a list of the State Board questions after the regular monthly examinations. Have tried to make it worth the trifling sum of 25 cents which is all it costs teachers. These extremely low rates could be secured only by my agreeing to furnish a club of 80 teachers as subscribers and becoming individually responsible to tne editor for the whole amount of the subscription money. This I have done. Now to you who have not heretofore understood the arrangement let me say that if the paper has been worth 25 cents to yon, you can so manifest it by either sending this amount to me or leaving it with yonr trustee when you settle. If you do not consider “value received” the printer shall have his pay at all events, and we will be happy just the same.
