school teachers, We called him q heathcn. He
did not like this. Hear him:
The Jackson Standard next appears in oppo-
position to my right to speak against females,
as teachers, and stgops 70 PERSONAL abuse TO

The School Reports Of the State, say that in
some districts IN Jackson county, no schools
were taugh during the past year, and in several
no sehools we're In session for the required
9Th Of time. Such is the status Of schools
IN jackson. II Is not to be wondered at that fe-
males suit them SO well.-'Greasy Ridgu" is far
| in advance of the classic shades Of Portland and
Oak Hill, in Intellectual attainments, and when
| the Standard wishes TO find "heathens" let him
cast his optics over his own diocese, and be-
hold the quintessence OF ignorance and degra-
dation. In making out his Inventory Of old
things that he loves, let him place first among
his loUes old School Mans, cisquare legged
