The Different Netheds Of Educa.

In one of our exchanges we find the fol-
lowing sensible remarks on the different
systems of education, wherein the Ameri-
can has the prominence, as it surely ought
to have 49,
There are three different methods of ed
u~cation adopted in higher institutions of
learning. The first is that of daily recita-
tions. The student is expected to master
a subject, make it his own in thought and
reproduce it substantially, in his own
words. This method is the prevalent, or
we might say, the universal one. in this
country. The second is that of lectures
In this case the student takes down in
writing what is communicated by his pro-
f~essors, and though he is expected, in some
sort, to master what is dictated to him. vet
the main part of his work from day to day
consists IN hurrying from lecture to lecture
taking notes and writing them out. This
method prevails IN the German Universe
ties. The third that of recitations, at
distant intervals with reference to examin-
atoms. This prevails to some extent in
England in connection with the lecture
system, and is the only method provided
for in the London University. The ten
dency of this last method is to substitute
cramming at the close of the term for SOL
id work each day of the term. AS to
which is the healthier for body and mind
there is no room for a doubt, while all
know that what is got by examining is
speedily lost again.
There are some who would have the
method employed in the German Univer-
sites adopted in our American colleges.
Such forget that an American college does
not correspond to a German University
But. besides this, DIR. Porter has shown in
his late valuable work on "The American
Colleges and the American Public" that
not more than one-third of the students in
the German Universities ever do any real
ly hard work. and hat many of the most
intelligent pro 'essors and educators in
Germany are in favor of modifying the
system by introducing recitations. The
fact is the American system is the best in
the world, or, at least, it is the best for us,
modified, as it is, by lectures in all u
best institutions.

Temperancc Social.

The committee appointed to organize a
Temperance Social, will report on the plan
which they have adopted, at the Court
House tonight (T~hursday.)
All are invited-a full meeting is desir-
ed. There viii be several ten minute adj
dresses made on the occasion, some music
and other exercises. The exercises will
be short but entertaining. We hope to
,see a full house. The cause of temperance
needs encouragement. Something must
be done to stir the public mind. There is
"a fearful laxness on the subject. Why
~patronize the rum-shop, young men? Why
does anybody drink?
Come to the social, 81 o'clock, at the
ringing of the Court House bell.

Complimentary Supper.

On last Monday night the members of
the bar III attendance on the Circuit Court
at this place, gave a complimentary sup
per to Hon. VIM. II. Maxwell at the
Washington House, on the occasion of his
removing from this place to Ottowa, Kan
sas. There was a large member present
and Messrs. Sewer and Mathes had pre-
pared a sumptuous repast, consisting of
oysters and other delicacies too tedious
to mention.
After the company had done ample JUS
:tice to the delicious bi-valves, the
Chairman, Col. A. j. Brown announced
the first toast:
1.-THE Fish we feed upon,"
Which was responded to by Maj. A. Fl.
Pettibone in his usual happy, mirth pro-
voking style.
.'Our honored guest" was responded to
by Mr.. HI. Ingersoll, in the course of
which he paid a handsome tribute to the
character and abilities of Hon. VIM. d..
Maxwell as a scholar, a lawyer and a gen.
tleman.
In response to the toast claw and Law
yers," Mr.. Maxwell delivered an eloquent
and touching address to the members OF
the bar, pointing out in a manner and
style not soon to be forgotten by
those present, the responsible duties
devolving upon them as members OF the
bar and of society. In referring 70 the
past scenes and associations. the speaker
was for a time nearly overwhelmed with
emotion, and when he rallied and closed
his remarks in a strain of ~eloquence rare
iy surpassed. there was scarcely a dry eye
in thatassembly.
The old Bar of Tennessee was re
sponded to by Hon. James H. Britton IN
an able address, delivered in a style that
only Jim Britton can command. lie was
greeted with rounds of applause. At Its
close q volunteer toast,
The Press" was responded to by Col.
Geo. E.. Grisham in an appropriate manner.
Short addresses were then delivered by
Mr.. Allison, Mr.. Earnest and others, and
the hour being late an adjournment was
agreed upon, each person present taxing
Mr.. Maxwell by the hand and bidding
;him a hearty God speed upon his jour
sney. Thus closed n of the most plea
SAINT and agreeable entertainments 1t has
ever been our good fortune to AVE wit
messed. A fitting tribute to the worth
and many noble qualities of one OF our
useful and respected citizens. There
ARE perhaps few men among us whose loss
We would feel more and none whose de-
parture will be more universally regretted.

1t has come at last-cold. dreary and

Sun has departed and the verdure of for

taken their places. Lovers no longer seek

1ngs and social parties generally. And

What We Want.

We want Common Schools. The indie
pendent schools can educate all the fancy
citizens that we need. They can furnish
all the lawyers, and doctors, and preach
ers and other professional gentlemen; but
these, as necessary as they may be, can
never furnish the bone and muscle of the
social system. Select schools do not reach
the great mass, they may furnish ladies
and gentlemen of leisure, but this will not
supply our demands.
Farmers Sons must look to common
schools. This class has been neglected.
We can see the result of it all around us.
Farmers ought to be educated men as we'll
as lawyers and doctors. There is no good
reason why the laboring class should be
kept in ignorance. We want common
schools for the children of our farmers and
mechanics. We have been depending
upon ignorant labor and legislatingtc keep
the laborer in ignorance. Our
are undeveloped because we have pursued
a policy that has given us uneducated la
Dor. The common people who build up
the States resources, have heen overlook
ed, and labor, the capital # die State, held
at a great discount. There is no wonder
hat the State is in debt. Give the people
a system of common free schools and the
State, Phoenix like, will rise up from the
dust of ignorance and shame. There is
no hope for us without free schools. We
need immigration to assist in developing
our great natural resources, but without
free schools we may look for immigrants in
vain. We want Common schools.
