The election of teachers is now attracting the school boards of the state and it goes without saying that the boards are experiencing no little trouble. Wages are up. Just before the adjournment of the Indiana legislature a bill was passed that increases the salary of teachers in the country schools and the grades 25 per cent. Teachers in that state have their salary fixed by their teaching experience the grade of their certificate.

Teachers ail over the country are demanding more pay. Good teachers should be retained and paid good wanes and teachers that are a failure should.be passed on.

Tliercs IH Bald to factional Htrltt! Ihcro. The city has been sending out statements for the use of city water. Users who pay, pay and those who do not, don't. That is about the size of it. Tho collection of water rental in Corning seems to have been a failure and has been for years and several years ago the city council passed an ordinance that is now in effect that wns thought would remedy the evil, nnd would if it was enforced, but there appears to be about as much attention paid to it as to the speed ordinance.

Tin; ordinar.ee provided that the collection of the water rentals be placel in the hands of the city clerk and that the metera be read four times a year and reported lo the collector who was to send statements to the users of the amount due and if not paid within ten days after notices were sent there was to be a penalty ot ten per cent added and the water was to be shut off and was not to be turned on again until the rental and penalty was paid together with $1 for turning the water on again. The city was not to go around and collect the rentals--iust send the statement and It was the consumers place to see that the account was paid. Statements are being sent out for meter readings in January-three months afterwards. Suppose the electric light company would collect in a like manner, how long would the" run? What kind of business would it be?

There has beon but little said for tho past few months about our city well that we have in the south end of Central park, ciug about three years ago by the enterprising citizens of Corning--rather they did not do tho work but paid to have it done and then placed a pump in the said well with a handle on it just like you see on most pumps. Then all that was necessary to qUonch the thirst of tho multitudes that wag supposed would visit the well, was water and a little "elbow grease" on the part of the visitor--but the water never came except when the city put it in from tho water-works, then it was inclined to leak out and go on to some other well. But later there may bo plenty of water there--when there is water every place else. Really would it not be a commendable thing for the city to celebrate the third anniversary of tho completion of tho enterprise which would be due some time thi summer. We would like to be made a committee of one to arrange a program for a proper cajobrntion of the event.
