COL. KERR's LECTURE,

EDITOR JOURNAL. The speaker Of
Tuesday evening lust, Mr.. Charles D,
Kerr, demands the truth from men and
women; therefore, let the voice CT
truth be he ri, at least as it is seen by
one person. As the lecture of many
subjects has been fully reviewed in your
last issue, shall only take a few of
the leading points and state the iu,-
preston they have made upon my own
mind, though do not think that it is
in the character Of such a lecture to
make lasting impressions, either for
good or for evil. In the first place,
while I hope to exonerate the speaker
from making any personal application
OF his comments upon women to the
mothers, wives and daughters Of Saint
Cloud, cannot but blame the ex-
tremely poor taste Of making those
comments at all. 1t appears to me
that the object of lecturer is either to
instruct and amuse his audience, or to
deliver wholesome truths, from which a
moral lesson can be drawn but where
was the moral here? Granting the evils
aud vices no dwells so much upon do
exist in greater or less degree, here
at least is better and purer atmosphere.
There are no French boarding schools,
no Flora McFlimseys, no matchmaking
mothers to sell their daughters for gold,
no vapid aud worthless young ladies
whose only ambition is to get hus-
band. There never was period when
education for females was SO advanced
and high. There was never a period
when younggirls were taught 80 we'll
period when the whole system of ed
ucation tends to make our daughters
healthy in mind and body, and far
more anxiously looking forward to the
time when they shall earn their own
livelihood than to SECURING a rich hus-
band" Farther than this, solemnly
protest against the libel on the noble wo.
men of America as a whole. Asone who
has travelled much, and had a
large acquaintance in our citiet among
The wealthy and those of moderate
means, I have seen many more good,
useful women than those who are slaves
to fashion and folly.
The attack upon the ministry was
unmerited and erroneous. I have been,
and am, very largely acquainted with
that class of gentlemen and their fam
lilies, and from the most elegant church.
es Of our eastern cities, the more mod
est edi6ces of the rural hamlets, to the
rude log cabin churches of the far
west, I have never heard the christian
minister who in his preaching bartered
the words Of God tor gold, or pervert-
ed any part of the truth to please a
"wealtby parishioner." The arrows
aimed at the church and Sabbath school
fall harmlessly. Institutions founded
on the scri ptures themselves are invul-
nerable to the shafts of petty ridicule.
Wy only sorrow was that such remarks
should be approved of-even tolerated.

THE NORMAL SCHOOLS,

Last year a violent onslaught was
made on the State Normal Schools, and
the most persistent effort put forth to
cripple, if not to crush, these valuable
educational institutions. But there
has been . return Of sense, and with
tho exception Of two or three sheets,
without pretension to either influence
or ability, the press Of the State urges
liberal action by the Legislature toward
the Normal Schools. The Miuneapo-
lis Tribune, in quite an extended edito-
rial, reviews the present condition Of
tho three schools, which fare now in
successful operation and appear to be
doing an excellent work." If the popu-
latiou Of the State "were gathered COM
pactly around one common CENTER" one
Of these schools might suffice, but
considering osr wide spread and rapidly
increasing population, it oonfesses that
"the number of these schools is not far
in advance Of the actual wants of the
State" The demands CT education are
such that the Tribune thinks "the
Normal Schools, with the model schools
attached to them, are the only means
now existing to any great extent in the
State for supplying the deficiency" It
calls upon the Legislature to deal iber-
ally with these institutions, Gas it can
we'll afford to do, considering the large
school fund with which the State is
fortunately endowed" Of the school
at this place it says:
:'At St. Cloud, tho State owns masnifi.
cent site, but the school is confined to an
old building entirely unified for tho pur-
pose, whether as regards suitable conve-
nienoes or sufficient epace-and that section
Of tho State deems itself entitled to an ap-
preparation for new structure, which will,
ct no very remote period, be made"
The St. Paul Pioneer, which is one
Of the ablest, as it is always one of the
most dispassiona'e, Of our State papers,
remarks that while it has never doubt
Cd the excellence Of the Normal Schools
OF questioned their very great impor-
lance ~ . branch of our common school
system, yet it has thought that the
number put in operation at the same
time was in excess of the actual need
Of the State. But it says that "as the
enterprise has now 60 nearly reached
completion, We incline to think that
wisdom requires a cessation of all hos
tilities, and a hearty support Of
these schools. They really cost very
little more than other schools of equal
magnitude; and but for the fact OF
their being distinct in name, and the
money for their erection and support
being raised in different eoay, We
doubt whether any one would think
criticising them. From everything
that We have been able to see, and hear,
We conclude that they are doing real
service in our great educational sys-
tenn, by turning out better class OF
young men and women teachers for COM
mon school, than can be expected from
any other quarter" We trust that
these words from 80 excellent and dis
interested sources may not be without
their due weight with the Legislature.

Rembrandt's Pictures.

This new and beautiful style of
portraits is fast gaining public favor.
Enquiry Is frequently made during the
day at Simond's Gallery: "Do you
make Rembrandt's pictures?" The
demand for this classic picture has
become so great that Mr.. Simonds has
made special arrangements by the adj
dition of suitable fixtures to produce
this justly celebrated portrait in the
very best style, and will be made at q
small advance in price over the old
kind. All are invited to call at thi
Gallery and examine the work being
produced there. Chillicothe, Ohio.
