establish and maintain one Of high charac-
ter-a first class schools far more diff
cult and requires the highest order of quail
itications. Inferior minds may teach
school, and often resort to it as q trade be-
cause no other employment can be obtain
ed but il institutions of learning Of a
high grade-sUch as this Southern land
now more than ever needs--are to exist, it
can only be by an efficient patronage of
teachers Of the highest gifts Of nature, the
brOadest culture of the schools, the most
school is invaluable to any community is
worth moro than dozens Of schools of infe-
rior grade, and never before5 were our pee
pie called upon in such trumpet tones as
now to encourage and sustain such teach
ers and such schools.
Such an Institution is IIrs. Ransom $
Seminary in Wilmington, and such teach
er is this devoted and accomplished lady
Commencing her laudable enterprise last
year amid many discouragements, her ge-
MUS and energy have been busy in over
coming difficulties, and her success has
been steady and sure but not such as her
talents and worth deserve. 'Distance

many of our people send their daughters
to distant places and States to be educated,
when ii they had a little more of the spirit
of State pride and of home patronage, they
could send them to as good, if not better
schools at home, and in so doing would
have their children more under their own

fit her for her NOBLE work. Her mode Of
teaching commends itself to all capable Of
approaching the best methods It is that
OF MOr0ugtnesS. Thus it is that she draws
out the powerss of her pupils-develops
and trains their minds in the best way. In
tais way she teaches her pupils to think, in
stead of merely filling their minds with a
confused mass Of information that is re-
celved one day and lost the next. This
system comprises the true secret Of educa
ton, after all, and it is high time that
teachers, many Of whom aught to be pupils
at school, had more generally adopted it.
Mrs. Ransom unites the kindness and gen.
tleness of woman, with that firmess and
discipline necessary in school of high
grade like hers. BY her spiritual power
she enlists the love of her pupils, and
creates in them desire for knowledge
In the circle of her magic influence they
