Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1872-05-30
From Glen Gardcn.

According to previous announcement,
Rev. Mr.. Taylor, from Athens Tennessee,
preached here in the NJ. Z. Church, Sum-
day morning and evening. His text in
the morning was lst Kings, 9Th chapter,
9th verse: "Will the Lord indeed dwell
upon the earth" In the evening it was
the Sth Psalm and 9TH verse: "What
is man that thou should be mindful of
him ?"
These sermons were most powerful.
His style is superior in beauty to that of
any man I ever heard. and clearly de-
monstrates that he had been called by God
to preach. lie is renowned as an orator,
and ranks as a peer among American
preachers.
His style is one of those sweetly grand
kinds that constantly reminds his hearers
of the old Prophets. In his illustrations
from his text, he walks along vigorously /;
now he swells into the loftiest strains of
imagination, then he gliIes with the soft
ness of dying melody into that pathos which
touches the deepest depths of the soul and
waters the ground which is to bring up and
ripen the seed Of good impressions. He
was not tedious with details, but sprink-
led them judicious!y along, like timely fn-
ger boards, marking the great highway of
thought, over which he was marching with
his heareres.
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1872-05-30
O FOR

The other day. a Democrat said that
the only reason why he and his neigh
boring Democrats would not support Gree
ley was that, "Uncle Horace was a con-
frmed drunkar1." Upon it being ex-
planned to him that the hero of Cincinnati
was a total abstinence man he replied
that mo sober man would or could SO
completely change his principles in so
short a time and he still would stick to
his first charge and his old determination"
Between such temperance extremists as
our democratic friend and the lager-loying
German sold White Coat" is bound to have
q merry time III reaching the Presidency.

Educational Items.

The following items respecting the con
dition of education in the different Eu
ropean nations, will, no doubt. intercst
many of our readers.
In Saxony, education is compulsory
all the inhabitants of the kingdom car
read and write, and every child attend,
school.
In Switzerland. all can read and write,
and have a good primary education. Ed
%ucation is obligatory. and greater efforts
in proportion to its means. are made to
impart primary instruction than in any
other European nation. ~.
In all the smaller States of North
Germany education is compulsory. and
all the children attend school. In Den
mark the same is true. All the Danes,
with but few exceptions, can read and
write and keep accounts. The children
all attend school until the age of four
teen.
In Prussia, almost all the children at
tend school regularly, except in some of
the eastern districts. An officer who bad
charge of the military education of the
Landwehr, In twelve years had only met
with three young soldiers who could Meth
err read nor write: An inquiry having
been instituted, it was found that these
three were the children of sailors, who
had been born on the river. and had new
er been settled in any piace.i Instruc-
ton is obligatory.
In Sweden. the prop ortien of inhab-
itants who can neither read nor write Is
one in a thousand. Education is obi
In Baden, every child receives ~instruc-
ton. and in Wurtemburg there is not a
peasant. nor a girl of the lowest class. or
in an inn, who can not read. write,
and account correctly. Every child goes
to school. instruction being obligatory.
In Holland, public assistance is taken
away from every INDECENT family that neg
lects to send its children to school. 1t is
estimated that the number Of iliiterates

SCHOOL "reminiscences.
exercises.

The efficiency of the county system
depends m~easureably on the School Com
n~issioRers. If these officers discharge
their duties properly. the school interest Of
the County is in no danger. The whole
management of the School in the Districts
is in their hands. The school houses
should be in coed condition and compe-
tent teachers employed.
The school must have attention. It
must be looked after. The children are
not profted when careless and indolent
teachers are allowed to :'keep School,
for q little free money"
School Commissioners must employ
teachers, visit the Schools, take care of
the School house and keep themselves
posted on the School law. One live man
on the School Boarl is worth a dozen
drones. In most of the neighborhoods
where We have good schools, the
work has been done by a few energetic
persons, by a single individual often.
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1872-05-30
Plain Talk.

The following sensible and practical
remarks are especially applicable to us
Bear in mind that school officers should
be elected for their ability or efficiency,
or for their good sense, and not because
sit is Toms turn" or "Dick wants it,
or Harry belongs to your party" or your
church, or married my wife's sister.
That school directors have other duties
than providing for impecunious male OF
female relatives.
That teachers are born, not made, and
that no amount of schooling would fit
some people to show a child the way to the
nearest school house.
That a good teacher is cheap and q
poor M dear at any price.
That babies should not always be sent
to SCHOOL to ..get them out of the way"
(for a good teacher may be an Indifferent
%nurse) neither should pupils be kept at
home to do chores.
That a building SO full of dirt, decay,
disease, discomfort, disagreeableness and
encouragement, as to be totally unfit for
anything else, will not necessarily make
a good school house.
That simply paying a mans school tax
will no more insure his children a good
education than paying a minister tax will
give him a warranty deed of heaven.
Our children are no more totally de-
PRAYED than our ~neighbors, and they are
born quite as old and equally as bright.
We ought to have the best school and we
haven't got it. Compared with what it
ought to be, it is a backward, shiftless,
chaotic apology for a school. And the
fault is ours. We shun the school house
as we would a pest; we stay away from
school meeting aud away from school (;
we compel somebody with no children,
nor hopes of any, to serve as directors or
on a committee, having drafted him into
the service, do nothing to advise or assist
him. We crowd sixty scholars into a
school house which is made to seat only
forty seats, and the desks are poor aud
uncomfortable at that. Some of us turn
ours children like turkeys into the road
at early dawn, and if starry eve brings
them like turkeys home to roost, that is
the end of our solicitude. In short, we
allow our school to be kicked about like a
football for amusements, or used as a billy
to break somebody's head with. Men and
brethren think of these things. Come out
to the school meeting, grade your school,
select a good set ofdirectors or committees,
and help them to select good teachers,
watch them, visit the school. see that your
children are there fVnetuauy and regular
Ey, and let us see if in some way we can
not get the worth of our money out of our
schools. and not leave our children to
grow up to curse is for thci, ignorance
and our stupidity and folly or else ac-
knowledge that we believe our whole duty
to u children consists in getting them
safely through the measles and chicken
pox, and devise our share of the school
money to endow a %lunatic asylum for our

THE POLITICAL CHAMELEON.

As Horace Greeley now seeks the sup
port of the rebels, the New York TriyuR>
wants the Ku-KIux laws repealed. The
TriLune -vebemently urged their passage
and fercely assaiIed Congress for its hest
fancy in passing them. The philosopher
candidate daily interpreted the slow speed
of this Congressional enactment, "as a dis
graceful and eovardly surrender TO the
rife and ~unsubdued spirit Of murder and
rebellion" Now, in tho holy eyes Of the
transmogrifed sage, these laws are unsur-
passed iniguities and should be- immedi-
ately wiped out
Times change and men Change with
them, tu'y.

"Watchman what of the night" The
day dawneth. The, time of progress, vast
moral and intellectual improvement is
slowly but gradually dawning among our
people.
The future seems brighter from the
proud and glorious hopes which thrill the
hearts of every lover of education. The
teacher has a work to do, a work to per-
form for God and man. With Improve
ment' emblazoned on the folds of his ban
ner no. enemy shall be able to put him
to flight. His historic heralding will be
grander than the titled pageantry of Kings.
The writer visited Watauga Academy
a few days since. This schto Of is con-
Quoted by Profs. A. j. +. Hyder, and
David Bowers. We congratulate this
neighborhood for their zeal in the cause
of education. This school now has about
one hundred in actual attendance and
still they come Notwithstanding the busy
season of the year.
1t is believed the school will reach an
enrolment of over two hundred before
autumn. Our people are bestirring them
selves on this matter. Our county Court
has levied a tax of two mills on the dol
lar for school purposes. The people are
helping themselves, All they want is
some one to encourage the matter in star
ting schools.
The native talent of East Tennessee is
as good as can be found in the world. We
say improve it. CULEX.
