TIE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Mr.. EDITOR: | returne last Fri
day evening from a more extended
visit to our public schools than l
have yet been able to make, and am
glad to he able to state that we now
have 26 white and colored schools
in operation in our county, about
twenty of which promise to be equal
to the best in the State. Quite a
number of graduate are employed,
who are real tiUe men in the school
room.- The order and discipline
found in our public schools is of an
encouraging character. In three
Districts no schools are started yet
among which is the M rristown Dis
trict" The trouble is, they have no
school houses. but are building in
two of them, and from the move
ments Of our efficient Board of Direc-
tors in the town district things there
will have shape yer soon 1t is to
he hoped no one will be found lin
the business of opposing the educa-
ton of our rising youth. 1t can,
doubtless. lie said with truth, that
our people are waking up in good
ear est. and preparing for forward
movement toward their proper posi-
ton in the front rank Of educational
progress. Soon, yes, very soon. we
hope to he able to relieve our State
OF tn (mjusf stigma of second for
ignoraDce. A more noble Yeople
never bresthed the atmosphere. and
deserving a better name.
To make our present system of
public schools a success only requires
the hearty cooperation of our High
Schools and College Professors. and
the earnest support of the people.
A good system of public instruction
should be the just pride of any peo-
pie. congratulate our citizens up
on the suspicious beginning of their
new school system. the chief source
ftheir future growth and prosperity.
