How many Days should consti-
tute a School Month?

A convention Of City and County Su-
perintendents has been called to meet at
Madison, foi the purpose of considering
this and other important questions, con-
nected with our presen> school system
This convention IS row in session. WHAT
tie results Of IT'S deliberations will be, we
cannot fortell, but we shall not be SD! pris-
ed if an amendment to to the schoollaw be
proposed, reducing the num"er OF school
days in month to twenty. Many s.rcug
reasons may be urged for the adoption Of
such amendment 1t has already been
adoptrd in form by the Boards of Edrca
ton of every city in the state, and expes-
fence has shown it to be be 'eie % - the
schools. #R F fGs 70
1t promotes regularity of ATTENDANCE.
School being in session but five days in
each week, allows time FOR TIE recreation
of pupils and teacher, ard it is evident
that they generally make the moss of it.
Brain workers nsast have relaxation and
recreation. If one day in each week be
set apart tor this purpose, the remair; x
days are generally devoted to stldy.
On the contrary, if this allowsree be
not made, pupils take time, at irregular
ais, thus subjectlng the school to
the greatest of all evils. irregularity OF
attendance. What is true in cities in ibis
respect, applies with stu greater force 20
our country schools.
The principal objection raised TO IBIS
amendment, is that other laborers wo, k
twenty-six days per month, and there is
no reason why teachers should be so lav-
cred, especially as they receive higher
wages than ordinary laborers, AID. have
to work fewer hours per day.
We sometimes think there are people
who willing to sacrifice the health OF their
children, and destroy all life and enthu-.
siasm in the school, if by SO doing they
can get little extra work out Of the
teacher, or as they would express make
him earn hisswages.'' v We believe gfNe
days study in week. is al that is pref
table in an ordinary school, al that can
be borne in a live, hard working scht 81
and altogether toe much in poor school.
Four ffths of all districts III this county
recognize twenty days as constituting q

AllgQuiet on the Tombigbee.

T Georgia is now RI ght side up with care.
There is entire quiet in the political stu
alton there for the first time in several
years The Legislature is now organj ed
on lawful basis, and work is going on
scarcely less smoothly than in the Radi-
cal State of Iowa or Wisconsin. A
The way In which this result has BEEN
brought about is briefly thus: The reb-
els, who by revolutionary proceedings,
seated themselves in the Legislature, I'M
seating men lawfully elected, were ejecsed
by force of law and General Terry. The
men who, by these lawless and high
handed measures of rebels, were unsef ted,
then, of course, took the seats 10 hich
they were entitled, and had peen entitled
from the beginning About the proceed
ings so far there can be no dispute among
honest MEL Then there were nen VINO
held certificates of cleo Ion, and had held
scats in the Legislature, Who could r't be
members under the Law. These has e
been elected, and men who could take
seats under the law, and received the
next highest number of vo es at the
election. have been decided as entitled 20
the seats, and have ta..en them. 1t is
objected, as to these men, that they
should not have been awarded ohe seats F;
that new election ought TO have been
held. This objection, we admit, would
be good almost anywhere, except in Geor-
gia. But it is not good there, for tie
reason that Georgia, from time whereof
the memory of man runneth not to the
contrary, has done ,1actly III such cases
asshas now been done. 1t is immemo.is
usage !; it is established precedent, And
so the political situat;on in Georgia is

the ascendant, according to justice, law,

A Visit to- Knowles Studio.
40 snlx From the GAINESVILLE Recorder.

In company with gentleman from
Boston, we yesterday had the pleasure o.
visiting this artists studio. For it is in
deed pleasure that we can take strange /,
who yisit'so our beautiful city to a room
dedicated to purposes of art alone. ! ; 4 /
Like all artists, Knowles has his rooms
as near heaven as possible whether it be
to catch heavenly inspiration or to avoid
the noise gilmore terrestrial regions, we
know not. But as we wound our way up
20 the floor On which his rooms are loca-
ted, We were reminded of our last visit
to an artist friend IN Chicago. where we
found hes perched like dove at the
top of the Opera House, busy and happy
amidst her sketches and colors. df2e
Knowles had just returned from Madi-
son,where ne had been spending a few day
exhibiting his bust of Graham, the mem
Der elect from this City. We found him
with his coat off and shiry-sleevese rolled
up, busily at work on his bust cast of
Truth. The plaster casr from which he
is working, shows, at present his ori"inal
idea better than marble;- but he has so
far advanced upon the beautiful Carrara
stone that each day adds to it new graces
and reveals more and more the beauty OF
the form within. oi 5 p.
After the usual forms of Introduction,
he returned TO his olllsel and white t, e
white chips flew in every direo io1 we
had pleasant chat on art-sculpvJ re. 1854
On our remarking the grea difference
between his type, and that of the ancients
nr the Greek, so commonly follow ed il.
modern times, and illustrated in the We
nus de Medici, the Greek slaveaof Powers,
and the Beatrice of Miss. .Hosmer, he IS,
sured us that he had departed purpoSely
from that time worn track which no long
er admitted of originality.
eco out" he said upon the streets and
you will meet with styles and forms OF
beauty; the type of beauty in America is
no longer the Grecian, 4 is fuller, more
robust and nobler beauty the Grecian
type was we'll chosen to depict woman
when she was considered but as the slave
or toy of passion, bat to take it to day,
for an ideal of truth, would be- overlook
ing the true type which is American, in
the highest sense"
AS we looked upon the full chesGed no.
bic browed Truth before Us, with its calm
pure face, looking clearly forward, with
out fear into the future, every line still
rounding into perfect beauty, its express
sion seeming to be, drawn from purify of
neart within; artless and unincumh cred
with meretrcioos graces,we were remind
led of Cowpers lines:
cit stands like the Cerulean arch we see,
+ Majestic in its own Simplicity fsffT IA
I We believe Mr.. Knowles is right in
departing from the Grecian type to OBJ
tain BIS model, Truth, and we phrophesy
for him success in the future.
Meantime we would bespeak for him
the patronage and encouragement Of all
lovers of art in Wisconsin.
5 Let us not look abroad for what we can
find at home; else,
Though unequall' ID TO the goal he flies,s
< A meaner than himself shah gain the prize.

Big Joke ON Greeley,
A correspondent tells the following

A correspondent tells the following
amusing story ,~
In the New York Constitutional con-
yention, year or SO ago, M. Greeley was
Chairman of the Committee N Suffrage.
The white-coat philosopher is in the van
in nearly all progressive movements and
reforms, but to this woman suffrage he
has been deadly hostile To mary, this
looks inconsistent. How much the TACT
that Mis-. Horace Greeley is a veaemous
suhrageist has to do with his pulling 10th
er way 1 do not pretend to know. Now
| it happens that Cady Stanton and Mrs.
Greeley are not only co-workers in this
cause, but intimate personal friends
You remember that Horace brought in
report adverse to woman suffrage in that
Constitutional Convention. Mrs Stanton
determined Ga coup d. etd5. She tele-
graphed from Albany, where she was

carried the petition, headed by Mrs. Hor-
ace Greeley, to Albany. 1t was Endorsed
+" Petition for Suffrage from Mrs. Horace
Greeley and Others" and amid the uproar-
Gus laughter of the whole convention al
galleries, and to the utter astonishm cot
and chagrin Of Greeley, it was read and
referred.
Out rushed the white hat and coat n
search Of the everlasting Mrs. Stanton. Z
She was soon met and the following con-
versation ensued: es
Greeley (excitedly)-"Good NOR oipgl
Mrs. Stanton"
Stanton Calmly "Good morning NJ.
Greeley"
Greeley "Mrs Stanton, did you induce
Mrs. Greeley to send that Internal petition
here this morning?" Il
Stanton-"I informed her, Mr. Greeley,
of your unconstitutional behavior yeste
day" sge
Greeley-'I thought you weremyf rssad
madam" ZOO SIS
Stanton-"I am certainly, SO Mr., Go.

Greeley -"Then why did you serve ne
such hnmliating tlick?"
Stanton-"Oh, that is only skirnishipg.
Now own up, Horace. don't you think yon
are outwitted by women once in your
life?'' n.9gaF

latto contrasted with his face, white with
rage)-"lLrs. Stanton, SO long as I live

And it has not to this hour You will
often see that of Mrs. IT. B. Stanton (the

does think her ''unscrupulous.'
