NATIONAL

Many of the leading educators of the
country are calling upon the general Gov
eminent for a National System of Educa-
ton. Something of the kind is showing
itselfto be necessary. In an Editorial of the
Methodist the subject is set forth in a
clear light:
The country has, in fact. been
under a gross delusion on the extent of
our popular education. We have judged
of it from a few New-England examples,
and from the general interest for it shown
by some of the Northern States through
which the New-England population has
largely migrated. Asa nation, we have
no adequate provision for it I; and it is a
startling fact, as we have, shown, that. ac-
cording to the official language of the
Washington Bureau, ga case on trial be-
fore a jury stands a chance of having in
the different States from one to eight,
and on the average from one to five, jurors
who cannot read and write. According
to the Circular of the Bureau for the last
year, at the last general election the nom
reading and writing voters outnumbered
the preponderance of the majority in seven
teen States" '.Had less than one fifth of
the iIliterate voters combined, they could

II SCHOOLS.

Some time ago a call was made for the
School Commissioners to meet in Jones
borough on the first Monday in February.
1t is highly important that a Board of
Education be formed for the County.
There will be no change of the present
school law for some time. AS a county,
ne ought to 60 to work. The first step
is the organization of County Board.
The County Court will probably lay
an additional tax for schools at an early
day. 1t Is necessary that we put ourselves
in readiness for expanding any tax that
may accrue fo- school purposes. 1t is not
to be expected that Washington win be
behind other Counties, when she is able
to point to more and better schools than any
county in this end of the State. We are
proud of our schools and believe the peo-
pie will be unwilling to see them fail for
want of money. "A, -..a .llf r
There must be some effort made to car
rY put the County System. At the next
session of the county court will be a ia
vorable time for devising some plan for
keeping the school interest alive. 1t is
expected that those who have been elect
ed Commissioners will take an interest in
the subject, at least, enough to make it
convenient to be present and take, part in
the organization of the County Board.
If we can make a success of the County
System, it will prove a blessing to all.
Let us try. Nothing can be done without
effort and trouble. We are in favor of
ample tax to support our schools. The
people are in favor of it too. All they
want is to know that the tax will be APP
propriately applied. If all could be in
duced to read and reflect on the subject,
then there would not be so much want of
interest in our schools.
Let us give the County system a faith
full trial-then, if we fail, we will be bet
ter prepared to understand how to appre-
ciate a better system. So long as we sit
in idleness and ignorance, We may expect
some future census taker to expose us
again.

Mixed schools.

There is a growing conviction among
educators that separate schools for the sex
es are undesirable. We are most decid-
eddy in favor of mixed schools. Without
discussing the question at this time, we
are glad to see the following remarks by
Professor j. b. Sewall, of Bowdoin Col
lege, in an article in the Christian MIR
ror upon the proposition to establish a
classical school of a high grade in Maine:
81 take it as settled that we want a
school for both sexes. Our young women
must be educated as well as our young
men. A provision for our young men.
without provision for our young women
would be doing but half the work. And
the day [ trust is past and gone to think
of separate institutions. Boys and girls
were meant to grow up together and ex-
ert a mutual influence in a family where
there are brothers and sisters growing up
together. So in the school. Boys schools
are mistakes, abnormal, as much so as
monasteries and nunneries. The educa-
ton of brothers and sisters is begun togeth-
or at the mothers knee, and continued
together in the town school and country
academy. Why should it not always be
so, until that point is reached when their
paths must diverge? The period in a boys
life from fourteen to twenty-one or two is
that in which he should not suffer the
lack of young society.-its restraining, re-
and stimulating influence. The
is true. to a certain extent, of
girls. Co-education. properly conducted
IAN only promote the Development of
manliness and womanliness.
Besides, parents desire a school where
their sons and daughters may be sent to-
and thus brothers and sisters mu-
5ural influence be continued and their ed
lcation be conducted side by side, pdri
How commonly a brothers edu-
,ation shoots ahead and leaves the sisters
FROM the moment he leaves home
fit for college.
