According to previous notice, an adjourned
meeting Of School Superintendents and other
friends of Common School Education, was held
at Union Grove, Racine County, on the 18th
inst. The Meeting was organized with Mr.
McVicker, Of Brighton, in the chair. and r. W.
MosheI, of Mt. Pleasant Secretary
The object of the meeting being stated, re-
marks were made showing the necessity of a
higher standard Of qualifications, in the teachers
of our Common Schools.
Several persons spoke at length upon this
pointing out the respects in which teache RS are
most frequently defective, and suggesting means
Of remedying the defect Create care, as well
as better qualifications on the part Of town Su-
perintendents, will do much toward this But
with our present system Of changing superin-
tendents every year, ana teachers every half
year. selecting the former by rotation, or because
ofhis politics, and the latter because available
tits impossible to wholly remedy the evil.
All agree that teachers are as deficient in
moral character and ability to govern, as IN
earning-that those teachers educated in the
country excel in intellectual culture, while those
educated IN our city schools, excel in the man
agement of the school.
Too little attention has been paid to moral
culture. Teachers are often employed, whose
example is perncious. Several speakers held
the opinion, and some desired that the habit of
profane swearing, liquor drinking, ball-going,
or tobacco chewing, should be regarded as sufi-
Gent cause for refusing certificate Yet at
the present it would be almost impossible to
supply our schools without accepting some adj
dicted to one or more ofthese vices. But the
preference-other things being equal-should
always be given to those who eschew them.
After an interesting and apparently proita-
bic discussion on these and kindred topics and
a comparison,by different Superntendents pres
ent, of their respective modes of examining
teachers, their tests of qualifications, and their
procedure when visiting schools, resolutions
were adopted
LIST Affirming the necessity Of a higher stan
dard of qualification "in regard to moral char
acter, learning and ability" in candidates for
teaching.
End, Pledging those present and recommend
ing other town superintendent to use greater
caution in granting certificates of qualification;
Sd, Recommending School District officers to
use greater care against employing inferior
teachers.

price, obtain more benefit, for the money expen.

Senatorial Nomination..

The Senatorial Convention held in this coun

best of feeling and with more than usual .uuanim-
! ity. Geo. Bennett, Esq, appeared to be very
nearly the spontaneous choice of the Delegates.
and it is reasonable to presume, they reflected
the wishes Of the people of the county gene
rally. Mr.. Bennett has been resident of the
county over twenty years, and has always
maintained a character Of honesty, integrity ,and
correct business habits. Since the organization
of the Republican party, he has been firm sup
porter of its principles.

himself an active and efficient member lie rem

CORRECT SPEAKING.-We adj wise all
young people to acquire in early life, the
habit Of using good language, both in
speaking and writing, and to abandon
as early as possible any use Of slang
words and phrases. The longer they
live the more difficult the acquisition OF
such language will be; and if the golden
age OF youth, the proper season for the
acquisition of language be past in its
abuse, the unfortunate victim ofneglect,
ed education is very probably doomed
to talk slang for the rest of his life.
Money is not necessary to procure this
education. Every man has it in his pow
er. lie has merely to use the language
which he reads instead Of the slang
which he hears; to form his taste from
the best speakers and poets of the coun-
try; to treasureup choice phrases in his
memory, and to habituate himself to
thier use-avoiding, at the same time
that pedantic precision and bombast
which show rather the weakness OF a
ambition than the polish Of an educated
mind.

The growth OF Memphis Tenn, is
said to be almost marvellous. Although
not yet 20 years old, it has population
OF $4,000, mostly gained within the last
10 years. 1900 houses are in progress
OF construction in Memphis, this season,
for It's size, probably more than in any
city in the Union. Memphis is, as des-
cribed by a late Journalist, the second
cotton market in America, and the first
inland market in the World 1t is the

Railroads branch in every direction,

Memphis is free from debt, and bids fair
to be one Of the largest and finest

GREAT FIRE AT CoNsrANTTNop1E.

GREAT FIRE AT CoNsrANTINopLE.-
Constantinople journals of the l4th
OF September state that a dreadful fire
had destroyed upwards of 1000 houses
in the Turkish capital. It broke out IN
the quarter Of Hass-Keni, built like an
amphitheatre, on the side Of hill, and
Inhabited by 10000 Jews, and from the
houses being Of wood, the flames spread
with the most frightful rapidity, and in
very short time upwrds Of so habita-
tons were destroyed.
The fire was then, mostpersons tho't,
got under, but on the next day it again
burst ont afresh, and very nearly 1000
houses were reduced to ashes. The in
habitants were seen running half naked
through the streets seeking shelter, and
more than 600 families who lost all they
possessed are encamped on the hill. The
Sultan ordered a number of military
tents to afford them temporary shelter.
