We reproduce the following from TIN Daily
Chronicle of yesterday Il
"a paragraph appeared In the Bccnigg star ~
Friday retailing the fact that General MCCook
had been assassinated In Yankton, Dakota Ter
rtOry. rho full particulars OF the SAL anair were
received by telegraph ut $3.50 O'Clock yesterday
morning, and appeared in full In the columns OF
the Chronicle. our enterprising morning coiem-
porafy made editorial reference TO the assassina.
tot based upon the Stars telegram, hut did not
prlnt line ~ the Geographic particulars. The
public can Judge Of the enterprise OF the two
newspapers"
"Thc full particulars Of the sad affair to
which our morning cotcmporary' alludcs,
and for the erclusioc publication OF which In
this city on Saturday morning Il claims special
credit, was an Associated Press dispatch, and
was delivered to the REPUBLICAN Office about
midnight on Friday, two aud u half hours be-
fore Il reached our 'tmornlng contemporary
according to Its own admission.
The impression which is desired to he con-
ycycd by the paragraph copied above Is that
the account Of the McCook assassination was
the special property of the Chroniclc, aud II
calls upon the public to admire It's enterprise
In thus surprising the REPUBLICAN, and tc
make comparison Of the merits OF the tive
Journals as newspapers. We are glad oui
friends have invited this comparison, bccaus,
we shodld never have thought, from pur,
motives Of Journalistic regard for our cotcm
pornry, of directing public attention to /
ourselves. Indeed, Il would have been posi-
lively unkind in the REruBLIcAS to hav
invited public attention to this matter.
We are particularly sorry, on our neigh
boris account, for the blundcr made in pub
fishing the article We have reproduced, be
cause 1t not only shows Its ridiculous prctcu
sion, but manifcsts u degree Of cditOriu
stupidity that Is inc xcu,ablc even In III
Chronicle. This will be understood by GU
readers who read 'ihe full particulars Of tn
sad affair" In our columns Of Saturday with
ont further explanation, but for the spcci0
benefit Of our cRie,prisirJ contemporary W
must state that the REPUBLICAN Of Saturda,
morning, on Its first page, did print the idcn
teal dispatch perbd,iD,, for the exclusive pub
LEGATION OF which that journal lays claim /
extraordinary enterprise and directs the pull
lie to make comparison that must inevltG
b.y cld disastrously TO that journal.
Now that our "morning contemporary" Ia
invited the public To institute a comparisO
"of the enterprise Of tho two newspapers
we hope the public, aud particularly thu
portion OF II which reads the Chronicle, wi
not fail to make Il. In this instance, .
least VIC arc confident that the comparisO
will prove odious to our apirprisinJ ''morr
ing contemporary"

AZ the annual meeting Of the Ohio State
Teachers Association, held on the 18th Of
July, State School Commissioner Thomas W.
Harvey read o paper, The Duty Of the State
to Educate its Youth" of which the argu-
mcnt was: The State has assumed the duty
Of providing means and agencies for the cdu-
Gallon Of Its youth, and It has right to do
this, for it, existence depends upon the virtue
and Intelligence Of its citizens. Mr.. Kickoff,
superintendent Of the Cleveland schools,
although differing from Mr.. Harvey In some
Of the minor points, said II we look to the
material prosperity Of bur people, to the Sc
curity and pcrinancncc Of our Government,
the highest duty Of the State Is 10 educate.
THE Fredericksburg Ne,cs, speaking OF the
Greenbfier White Sulphur Springs, says
"Whether the springs will be sold or leased at
ter this season Is An Interesting question here.
The court may decree lease Tor another year,
when. OF course, Pcyton Co., will hold on for
that time.

SCHOOL HOUSES,

The want Of additional school buildings,
constructed with due regard to health COM
fort aud convenience, has considerably re-
tardcd the progress Of these schools. Not
withstandlng the rapid strides towards pro-
yiding ample accommodations for the numcr-
Gus applicants for admission, thousands Of
children Of school ages have no means of OBJ
tanning common school education, the cir
cumstanccs OF many Of their parents being
such rs TO preclude them being educated
through any other channel than the public
schools, There Is now In daily attendance
over four thousand children, leaving as many,
and even more, without any school facilities.
The pressure at present Is principally con-
fined to the First, Second and Fourth dis
tricts, from which several hundred children
have been turned away. This, at so carly
stage In the school year, has been attended
with considerable embarrassment to the
school officials, the pressure being very heavy
In the lower grades, and In order to accom-
modate the many applicants the higher
grades were filed with those of lower grades,
however without affecting the standard Of
either, the additional labor Of teaching two
or more classes being imposed upon the teach
ers Of more advanced grades. A correct
Idea Of the extent of the accommodation for
those entitled to the benefits OF these schools,
and Its insuficienoy when compared with the
school population, can be gained from the

PREPARATORY mon SCHOOL.
THIS school is composed OF pupils few Of
whom have completed the grammar school
course, and the remainder those Of the see
ond grammar grade. The school was organ
lied in 1870, and the Office II has performed
has been mainly that Of central grammar
school, which, in relieving the several dis
tricts Of q small advance class, has permitted
many to gain admission into the schools who
Otherwise could not have been provided for.
The school Is finely situated In the largo bnll
Of the Sumner building. Its present enroll
mcnt Is about 100, being nn increase IN at
tendance over the past school year and the
largest yet attained The school opens this
wear under the most favorable auspices, the
trustees having given special attention to the
selection Of the principal and her associates
SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION.
The experience Of ihc last two years, In
pointing out the Inconvenience Of the CLASH
fcation and the lmporfoctions of the course
OF instruction, which was adopted by the
board In 1870 has induced change In both,
which, In the simplicity Of the former and
| the defnltcncss Of the latter, promises greater
results. To the course Of Instructions have
been added requirements that cannot full to
be Of great benefit to those attending the
schools. The equalization Of the requirements
Of the several grades, and their adaptation
TO the child Of average capacity, have In the
change Of the course Of instruction been
made the objective point.
From the above it will he seen that these
schools have grown under the direction Of u
faithful aud conscientious board Of trustees
and an efficient corps Of teachers from what
was regarded by the friends Of the education
Of the colorcd children as an experiment to n
remarkable success, and clearly demon
strates the ability Of the cOlorcd child To ac-
qulrc and the colorcd teacher to- impart q
thorough education. These schools compare
fayorably with the public schools Of any com
munlty, and Is far ahead Of any system Of
public schools for colorcd children In the
country. Like the public schools for the
white children, they arc inadequate to ac-
commodate al who apply for admission be-
cause Of the large influx Of population Of this
class of citikcns from the States since the
war, but the local authorities have gcner.
ously responded to this pressing necessity
and have so far appropriated nearly q ,OcJ, :
900 for tfc!" support. II Is TO be hoped, how
ever, that Congfcss will do justice to thii
community and appropriate sufficient fund
to enable the officers to take iuto lhcs,
schools all who may apply, and 10 this pur
pose all lovers Of education here should benz
their energies.
