Public School Notice,

The State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, believing that a meeting
of all the Directors of each County for
consultation with each other, and with
the County Superintendent, immedi-
ately after their election, and before or
ganizing their schools, would be pro-
ductive OF very useful results, has is
sued circular to County Superintend-
ents, directing them to call such meet
mgs. In compliance with which re-
quirement, l request those who may be
elected Directors at the coming election,
on the 9TH day of August, to meet me
ut the Courthouse in Pulaski, on Mon
day, August 18th, at 10 o'clock A. NJ.
The schoOl-law has intrusted TO tn e
Directors large discretionary powers,
and imposes upon them important du-
ties. In discharging them, and in in
augurating a new system, they will need
much prudence and fOrethought. To
secure uniformity in their operations i'm
many particulars, where uniformity
and mutual understanding is inn
portant, such a consultation between
those who must give direction to new
system without previous landmarks to
guide them, Is, in fact, necessary. For
instance, the law provides that
In special eases, children residing
in different districts, may be educated
in school together, under such regela-
tions rs may be prescribed by the Di-
rectors Of the Districts interested
Many OF the present civil Districts
are not convenient for school purposes,
and it will become necessary in many
cases that children should attend school
in district different from the one in
which they reside. There should be
some general agreement among the hi,
rectors to cover such cases. Many sim
liar matters arise under the law, which
require adjustment; such as textbooks,
schOol-tcrms, &c. For these reasons, 1t
Is important that n consultation should
take place before orgdaizfRg che schools
therefore respectfully urge upon ev-
cry Director who may be elected TO at
tend at the time and place designated

The Art of Newspaper Making.


The New York Printer, speaking of
the Art of Newspaper Making, says;
"Of all writings Ofman, none is so wide
ly perused and critically examined as
the newspaper; and of all public char
acters, newspaper contributors mostly
require diligence, energy and patient
application. The necessity of giving
variety to their articles, in length and
subject and style, creates a heavy draft
upon the intellect. The articles must
not be too long, or they will weary; no
matter how much thought expands, it
must be contracted; nor how many
ideas may suggest themselves, they
must each be condensed into a narrower
compass; the marrow of the subject
must be extracted by patient toll, and
served up in tiny mOrSels TO fastidiOus
readers. They must not be too short,
or some viii complain that the subject
is not finished. They must not be too
dry, or the fitful or careless mind will
not read they must not be too light, or
the austere will turn from them with
disgust. The language must not be too
learned, or it will shoot over the heads
of the youth, the future strength of the
land il must not be too simple, or the
self-styled learned viii reject the pieces
with contempt. The style must be ca
sy, flowing, or none will be pleased.
To suit all these various tastes, the
newspaper contributor must rack his
brain to prepare one or more articles in
the several styles. His genus must be
as versatile as the tastes of the reading
public; and whatever may be the de-
mands upon his attention, it must all be
done within the required time. If he
fails often, woe to his reputation, and
consequently to his support. Who can
entirely satisfy all these demands? To
be all things TO all men requires versa
tilitv and tact, rs wei as patient toll.
And after all the work is done, to bear
patiently the errors in grammar, or
biography and punctuation, in which
the printers contriye to dress up his
production requires the grace of a
Christian.

sE- Mr.. Johnnie McCallum's horse
ran off with the buggy from the College
the night of the Hop. 1t created some
excitement, and some of the carriage
drivers said that they met him on the
road to town going like a streak of
CREASED lightning. One Jehu said that
he met him about the lanyard and that
he was going so fast that all four of the
wheels were off the ground. Mr.. Me-
CHllum found his horse quietly stand
ing In ESQ. McCallum's stable, about a
hundred yards from the College, thus
rendering the statements of the excited
Jehu's a little too thin.

A little boy named Bob, who lives
not n thousand miles from HaTrodsburg,
is six years old, and grows in statue it
not in grace every day. His GRANDPA
ther is devoted 10 him and spOils him.
Not long ago the old gentleman was
walking up and down the back gallery,
holding his half-Open hand behind him,
as Is the habit of many people. Bob
looked at him refiectively for fully a
minute. An at once he disappeared,
entered the kitchen, and reappeared,
holding small coal of fire between two
sticks. just then his grandfather was
walking slowly toward the other end of
the gallery. swiftly and cautiously
Bob stole up behind and dropped the
coal into the half-cl0sed palm, and then
disappeared like a flash.
The old gentleman's hand closed con-
vrllsively, and then he made a frantic
effort to throw it away. He hoped
about and capered like a two-year-Old
colt, aud finally, discovering that he
was burned, darted for the water buck
ct, into which he plunged his arm up to
the elbow. But alas, for Bob, his
mother had arrived just in time 10 see
him do the naughty deed, and despite his
declaration thar he didn't go 10 do it, She
interviewed him so eiiectually that he
found IL inCOnvenient 10 sit down for
several days thereafter. During the in
terview Bob howled in his most melodi-
Gus aud heaFt-reuding manner, but his
victim only stood by the water-b bucket
and nodded approvingly n the sound Of
the conflict reached his ears.
