School Books.

We acknowledge the receipt from
Messrs Harper & Bro. through their
agent DIR. S. H. Stout, formerly Of
our county, now Of Atlanta Ga, of
the following valuable school books
which we have taken much inter-
est in examining.
I. WILLIAMS SFELLERs and
READERS, three of the former, and
nine of the the litter, compendi-
UNI of human knowledge from the
alphabet to the highest application
of science to the uses of man. We
only speak the simple truth when
we say that our opinion Of them is
in accord with. that of some Of the
leading teachers in our county.
2. FRExcH's ARITHMErIes, con
sistiBg OF four books, are arranged
in the natural order of mental devel-
opment, and treat, first, of visible
objects, secondly Of concrete num-
bers; and thirdly, of abstract num-
bers.
The First Lessons in Numbers,
should be in the hands of every
mother who has a child she wishes
to teach how to count.
8 FowLERs COMMON School
GRAMMAR and MARcH's PARSER
especially the latter, is well worthy
of the attention of teachers.
March's Parser is unique and
novel It is Pictorial or Object
Lesson Grammar.
4 ScoTTs HrsroRY of THE UNI-
TED STATES, is avery readable book f;
in style and method of arrange
ment tits excellent, but we cannot
recommend II to teachers, because
of its evident bias in treating the
incidents and issues Of the late war
between the sections. The Author
has evidently tried to be impartial,
but we entirely dissent from his
views.

If education is a peves in this
land It has a queer way Of showing
it. last week there appeared a no
tice in one of the town papers invit-
ing the patrons and friends of Giles
College to attend a debate and drill
Of the students on Friday evening.
last. In answer to that invitation
the Faculty and students were hon
ored and overwhelmned BY the at
! tendance of two married gentlemen,
one married lady and several young
ladies and school giils, OF these
gentlemen one IS a member of the
Beard Of Trustees. When educa-
ton issues her calls, thus in this
rich, enterprising, Intelligent county
/ is her calls answered. When Prof.
C. lets it be known that he viii en-
terrain the public by a specimen of
his instruction his hall is filed to
the last inch. Nobody complains
of the attention paid Prof c., and
it is feared almost M, one complains
at the heed given to the invitations
of the aspiring youths Of the coun-
trye How teachers are expected to
be cheered and encouraged in their
labors-how boys and young men
are expected to he enthusiastic and
eager in the prosecution Of their
studies under the present treat
ment, is difficult to be seen. This
complaint is doubtless an old song,
and with less doubt will our people
be always just as they are, with on
/ " here and there an educated man,
so long as the present complaint is
regarded as merely an old song
Most people in this country edu-
cate their children just as they feed
their horses-place them where the
mental food is furnished and then
| give them no further notice. Yea,
ye-ily, they give their horses more
attention, for after the animal is fed
he is rubbed and curried, while no
attention is given the boys who are
sent to school. If parents would
only manifest an interest by asking
questions every night, if only one
or two, about the days progress
and attend upon the public school
exercises, q vast change would soon
occur. There is moro cheat, en-
piricism in teaching than in almost
any other profession, and why?-
Simply because there is so little at
tention given the work done by
/ teachers that they are at full liberty
to impose upon their patrons
This is not ut all the result of any
inherent meanness in teachers, but
a natural consequence of the apathy
shown by parents in the cause of
education. Let fathers and moth
ers do their duty and teachers viii
have no option left them. Honest
teachers always earnestly invite
their patrons to visit their schools
and see how the children are pro-
| crossing, but so seldomly is there
any heed given these wishes that
the honest efforts are necessarily
enfeebled. VIII not parents, not
only in town, but all over the coun-
ty, take more interest in the real
welfare of their children and aid
both teachers and children in the
attempt at an education? It is a
hard task at best, but how much
more so is it made by the conduct
of those who have control of our
/ youth.

The fifty thousand dollar stable
which Grant is building, in Wash
ingtou, proves conclRsiyely that he
looks upon himselfas a fixture in
the Executive chair. His conf
,lence in the stability of his posi-
ton shows that he appreciates the
power conferred upon him, and that
he is determined to exercise it to
the extent necessary to ensure his
reelection, as often as may be a
greeable to his ambition. With all
his stupidity, he is too smart to
spend fifty thousand dollars for a
stable for temporary use, even
though the money be a gift, or a
dividend Of one Of the many thiev-
ing rings to which he belongs. He
is evidently fixing up for lite.-Er.

The Reassembling Of Congress.


The two houses, second session,
Forty-second Congress, will reas-
sembIe next Monday, the FIRST Mon
day in December. This viii be
what is familiarity known as the long
session, and it viii probably be pro-
longed till midsummer. The N. Y.
Herald thinks much time will be
consumed in the discussion OF the
Tax question, and that the antiei-
pated recommendations of the Pres
ident in favor of reduction of our
internal and external taxes will be
substantially adopted.
This reduction is expected by
the whole country, and Congress
cannot afford to disregard the wish
es of the whole people The New
York Herald says" To insist upon
saddling the present generation,
which has borne so much, with the
payment of the national debt viii
be a blunder which We cannot be-
heye will lie committed by this Con-
gress on the eve of a Presidential
election. We therefore expect that
Congress, consulting the wishes OF
the people, will seek rather to light
en- their taxes than to indulge MFR.
Boutwell, in his fallaey of hurrying
mp the payment of the debt. We
may have, perhaps, a general am
uesty bill passed. in order to spike
the guns OF Carl SchuFz and other
anti-Grant republicans; but the late
KH Klux developments down South
upon-tl,is point are somewhat dis
couraging. At all events the near
approach Of the Presidential contest
willmake this session Of Congress
exceedingly lively and interesting.
