The Hon. AhsOn smith, State Commits
slOner, was introduced to the audience, who
for an hour commanded the earnest atten-
ton of all. No brief review can do Jus
tee to his very able and excellent
BE first corrected an error
which is prevalent in reference to the
sOtiOn Of the General Assembly of the State.
By stating that nothing has been done, nor
does he think, will be done to reduce the |
levy for school purposes. The bill for this /
purPos was defeated by the excellent man
lgement OF Nv. Monroe, Of Lorraine. Teach |
srs ought to sympsthiEs with the Govern

sions ofits OriginRtOrs wherever it has been |

70 their text book, but should be the masters |
Of their work. They should cherish kind |
dispositlonS and invite tha love Of their |

gret my being unable TO give you fall notes
upon it. His subject was {" The Home In.
