PUBLIC

IL is somewhat remarkable that oppo-
sition should be raised against public
.ehools. Such, however, is the case IN
many of the wealthy neighborhoods in the
county. Property-holders fail to see that
general intelligence is common BENEFIT
and a common blessing.
1t is bard for some men to see anything
in an educational system. except a State
charity. The Louisville Courier Journal
in speaking on this subject says right
trathfully THE educational system Is
regarded by them as a State charity -
The great fact that it is q part OF the
public policy is overlooked The State
is o corporate body, and the prosperity OF
that body depends upon the health of the
separate members or units which COM
nose it. If one suffers. all suffer togeth-
or IL one is honorcd, all are honered
together. The elevation of one section
rejects q benefit. upon every other section

The Chattanooga correspondent of a
powerful Greeley paper undertook to in
rerriew his barber, but Mr.. Johnsiug

Because Seymour was a Democrat"
well, so is Greeley"
You are much mistaken Greeley is
a Republican"

his eyes to near the size of ordinary shaw
ing-mugs.

s.But they are all going for him about
here. just look how it is: every Repub-

for Greeley. 1t looks to me like he is
running the same way Seymour did. The

The Duty ef tire Sfute.

We think it just as much the duty of
the State to educate its citizens as it is to
provide, at the public expense, courts for
adjudication of private disputes and for
the protection of society against crime.
The education of the people prevents
crime. pauperism and misery, just as GER
tain as courts prevent parties from re-
sorting to force and violence as a means
for settling private disputes, or just as
certainly as they prevent mob, violence
and general anarchy.
To look upon public schools as charity
schools is folly. 1t is capable of demon
s~tration that the people, by union and
organization can secur a better and
cheaper education than by expanding the
money on private tutors or schools. 1t
is therefore just as good policy for the
public to unite and educate their children
together in schools as it is for us to unite
together and pay for u public courts,
our prisons, or our charitable institutions.
As a business enterprise. it is therefore
better TO have common schools. Looking
to it ass question of policy or of duty,
our duty is equally plain.-Pioneer,ASh-

NATURAL ORDER OF DEyEI.
q

First IN order, then, is the Intellect
The intellect is developed blythe acqui ST.
ton of knowledge. knowledge is first &C
quired in youth, through the senses. The
irst-effort in educating, therefore, should
be directed to systematic observation,
and the first subject of study are very
naturally the facts in the physical sciences.
The innumerable and marvellous question
ings in childhood, rave almost Always ref
erences to the things seen, felt and heard.
He who attempts to teach a child to reason
betrays a lamentable ignorance of the or
der of Development of the mental pow
ers.
A child viii observe, and by processes
peculiarly its own, viii connect facts, and
by the operation of Judgment will connect
effects with causes. but to cndearor to excr-
else its mind upon distractions would be
prejudicial to healthful and logical devel-
opement. From the observatian of things
the mind gradually rises to. the obserya-.
tion of certain qualities belonging to the
things observed. Thus perception is
developed. The association of qualities
with each other or with a given object
gives rise to ideas ; these IDEAS find ex-
pressions in words; that is. the object is
first, observed with close interest and at
tention secondly, particular features or
properties of the object are observed, and
these features or properties are united in
the mind as belonging to one object. This
unity by which the object and its proper
ties are combined stands In the mind as a
representative of the thing observed "a a
Perception, and may be called from the
store house of memory by the operation
of recollection, though the thing itself be
absent. When a new object is presented.
il it in any wayresemble. in form or quality
the subject of a previous observation, the
old is instantly called up and piowed IN
the mind by the side of the new. and this
gives rise to the association and analysis !:

PUBLTC sENTTMENTS.

Public opinion will not sustain you
1T is not popular. The people are not
prepared for the charge" Such expires.
sions are very common. We hear them
every day almost.
Anything like a vigorous school system,
or a progressive school law calls forth
such remarks. This or that objection is
raised. because there is no realpublic SEN
tIment in favor of common schools. Gen
eral education does not occupy an impor-
tant place in the public mind.
The Importance is. at once, admitted,
but tLen, it is held secondary to all other
interest, and education is left to take care
of itself in the midst of u~nfavorable cir
cnmstances. All this arises from the
want of a proper public sentiment in re-
gard to schools. Our people do not think
about the subject. They have been ae-
customed to hear arguments against free
schools and do not entertain favorable
opinions respecting them.
The politicians are responsible, to some
extent. for this opposition to public
schools. Now and then one is found to
possess moral courage enough to stand up
for free education, but the real politician
c~onsults policy and hopes to be on the
winning side and accordingly, throws his
influence against free education.
Before any progress can be made, the
people must be educated up to the i'm
portance of general education. The pros
perity of the country depends upon the
action of the people in this important
matter. The sooner this Is understood
the better it will be for all. So long as
our schools are neglected. every other en-
terprise will suffer and the great resources
of the State viii continue to be undevel-
oped.
a healthy public opinion in favor of
common schools is a real pressing want.
Every means should be used to create a
most favorable public sentiment.

AnCCoMMENDATIoS

The County Board of Education at it'
last meeting recommended the commits
sioners in the several Districts to open
Schools as early as possible. The middle
of August was suggested as an a%ppropri-
ate time. In many Districts It will not
be convenient to open the Schools at the
time suggested, 1t is desirable that the
Schools begin at the same time, but OF
course this cannot now be done. The
difficulty is the unwillingness of the peo-
pie. The advantages and disadvantages
should be carefully weighed by the Com
m~issioners. Our opinion is that much
will be gained by having a uniform time
for opening the Schools of the County.
We shall discuss the subject more fully
at length in the future. The object had
in view at the present, is simply to call
attention TO the recommendation of the
Board. We must endeavor 10 have this
much needed reform discussed before the
people.

Uniformity or II Beeks,

EDITORS HERALD AND TRIBrNF.
This subject demands more attention
than 1t has hitherto received. The rea-
sons are obvious to all who have had any
experiences In teaching. 1t is usually
the case, in our ungraded, or district
schools. that the children are supplied with
two, three or four different kinds of books.
In these books the subjects are SO different
~ arranged that the books are unfit to use
IN the same class. Consequently a proper
classification of the school is impossible.
In u a predicament, what is a teacher
to do? He must either submit to filter
away his time and strength upon such a
number and variety Of lessons and exer-
clses that he can do nothing satisfactorily
or well, or he must select such books as
he may prefer, and require their exclusive
use, the latter of which is an unpleasant,
and sometimes, a different thing to do, and
the former still more so. Add to the
above the fact that we have a set of itin-
erent school teachers, who seldom, if ever,
teach more than one or two sessions at
the same place, each of whom has a cat
alogue of his OWN, quite different from all
the rest, and altogether better and we
have sufficient hinderances to destroy the
efficiency of any system. How are these
difficulties to be obviated and by whom?
are questions that ought to engage the
friends of education. We would merely
suggest a plan for the accomplishment of
of our object. Let a teachers institute
be organized, or a convention of the lead
ing teachers be called, to whom .his sub
ject may be referred for mature consider
alton and deliberate action. Uniform
ity of textbooks would make the labors OF
teachers more pleasant. and five times
more profitable. Ii would save a need
less expenditure of thousands of dollars
for books. Teachers, think about it,
talk about it, and take such action upon
it as importance demands.
