Saline county holding As it does front rank
in its agricultural resources, should in every
way possible encourage their development
To dispense with county Fairs Is strik-
ing vital blOwat that which is her chief wealth.
We have had successful Fairs in times past land
we hope to see them continued in the future.
The opinion now seems to prevail that the de-
naoralized condition of the treasury of the Ag-
ricultural Society puts the holding Of Fairs BY
the county society out Of question. for the
present at least. However. yr. \. G. Couse.
Of this city, has offered t. rent the Fair ground.
for the perioI Of ten years. bindin. himself to
Eo.d Fair each year. We understand the
county commissioners arc inclined to accccd
to Mr.. Couse's proposal. and We think their
action in this respect will be indorsed by the
people. We invite correspondence from she
farmers approving or disapprov ing Of this.
We are in favor Of having annual Fairs. whetl,-
er given by the regular society or by an indi-
vidtal.

forming the basis of the studies from first "a
last, varied with some preliminary glimpses
at history, geography, political economy,
literary composition, and defamation, and
flnally instruction IN the art of teaching,
And here we cannot fail to commend the
sincere good sense exhibited in the arrange
ment of this course, which offers to the needy
freedman only the substantial necessaries OF
education, without undertaking to dazzle and
delude him with its luXuries, vanities, and
pretenses, which have for so many years
emasculated and discredited the educational
system of this country.
In pursuance of the same idea the expense
OF schooling at IIarpers Ferry have been re-
duced to the lowest practical figures, costing
Tor tuition and living about twelve dollars
per month, all told, and something less to
those who board themselves. To this end
facilities are furnished students for doing
their own washing and cooking, and in this
way the annual cost of living Clothing ex-
ceptcd) ranges from fifty to one hundred
dollars.
We have the example of man and wife
who supported themselves respectfully for a
school year of nine months on eigntv-one
dollars and seventy-fve cents, the greater
part of the money having been earned by
labor during the term, and without losing a
single day from the school.
1t is so common for married couples to
apply for admission to the school that a build
ing has been set apart for their especial
accommodation. Parents and children used
frequently to come together and stand up
side by side in the same class, but the rising
generation so far outstripped their ancestors
that the old folks became ashamed of them
selves, and gave it up, or, out of pure fial
respect, were forced by their children to
retire from the unequal contest.-Po,te
Crdyon, in Ha,per's Magazine for September.
New national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1870-1874, 1874-08-13

COLORED HIGH SCHOOL AT HARPERS
FERRY.-This institution owes its origin,
incidentally, to old. John Brown. During
the war that followed his infamous raid the
United States arsenals and armOrles at Har-
per's Ferry were completely demolished, and
at the conclusion the Government donated
the public lots and officers houses still stand
ing on Camp Hill to found school tor the
education Of the recently emancipated race.
The late John StOrer, of Maine, aided the
enterprise by an endowment of ten thousand
dollars, and in 1868 it was chartered by the
Legislature of West Virginia with the title
of "Storer College," -,
The property comprises five large build
ings, containing about eighty good rooms,
occupied by the teachers and families, and
considerable number of the students, who
lodge and live there. One building contains
ample recitation-rooms, the library, reading
room, and chapel. The locality is emnently
healthy, and one of the most beautiful that
can be imagined. From the rounded sum-
mits of those breezy bluffs which overlook
the town of Harpers Ferry we may see the
crystal waters of the Shenandoah sparkling
for miles through its deep and rocky gorge,
and Just below, where they meet and mngie
with those of the Potomac, we may see, from
point midway between base and summit,
the tremendous gateway through which the
married rivers, now one stream forever and
indissoluble, and hurry down to meet the
ocean tides at the Federal city. Here the
professors and teachers are white; and the
principal, Rev. n. c. Bracket, is universally
esteemed throughout the district for high
personal character, as we'll as the tact, pa
tience, and ability with which he fulflls his
difficult and responsible mission.
1t requires three years to complete the
collegiate course, and the curriculum is SUBJ
stantially the same as those of the village
schools reading, writing, and arithmetic

active part in every measure affecting the
interests of our people.
