Public schools OF McMinu.

THE EXAMINATION or TEACHERS was COM
mcnecd In July. Some teachers have attained "A
perfect grade, some very low, while few re-
ceived special certificates In order to get color
ed teachers to teach colorrd schools. So, I'M
less they improve, some Of our teachers must,
in ease OF u more rigid examination and high.
er standard next year, be rejected. We need
professional teachers.
SCHOOLS. We have had more schools IN the
county than there ought to have been. But
at the very beginning Of their labors, the D-
rcctors met with very serious difficulties in
laying of sIb-distrcts aud locating schools.
There were, rs is generally the case, persons
who wanted the schools taught at their very
doors, without regard to the general good
In many eases the school houses were not at
the right place. The Directors, therefore, had
to employ teachers TO teach small schools, and
OF course, they continued but II snort iimc.--
The necessity Of larger and longer schools is
obvious to all. We should concentrate and
try to have larger schools. School officers
should divest themselves of all personal in
terest, and act for the public good. This, !
believe the Directors of McMinn county have
tried TO do. The experience of the past, will,
in IL great degree, give light In the manage
ment of our school system in the future. 1t is
to be hoped that the people and Directors will
net In concert in locating schools.
PEABODY AID.-Thcre are'but three schools
that get aid from the Peabody Fund. TO OBJ
tain aid, the school must be II regular free
school with mn enrolment of one hundred pu-
pills and an average attendance Of cghty-live
per cent. 1t must be ten months graded
school, with teacher for every fifty pupils.
and fund for expenses twice the amount Asa
ed. For one hundred pupils three hundred
dollars are given. There are several places in
the county at which Directors should begin
to make arrangements to establish Peabody
schools. Schools should commence earlier
this year, as the cold and wet weather is q Sc
ri0us impeachment to a close attendance in
many districts. JOS. JANEwAY, Co. Supt.

BeeCher-TiltOn.

A special from the White Mountains
where the Plymouth pastor spent
the Sabbath. says the guests at the
hotels there and the people of the sur.
rounding country have been looking for.
ward with eager anticipation, for days
to Beecher's Sunday talk. M.
Beecher is reported as appearing
to feel his usual hearty cheerfulness.
But some note in him that which sug.
gests thought: that his cheerfulness IS
now assumed, and that brooding which
has been long and deep over his trou-
bles has worn him much. To the Twin
Mountain house from a radius of
twenty-five miles focked in the
country folks and boarders at
farm houses from various parts of the
country. Seldom has the place seen
such throng. At ii o'clock Mr..
Beecher entered the large han of. the
hotel and took chair on raised plat
form which had been extemporized.
Many who came to hear could
not find standing space within
room. Profound interest was manifest
ed in the speaker. Mr.. Beecher made
brief prayer, in which he asked that
divine grace might shine upon the wor-
Shipping throng. away up there in the
White Mountains. Then he gave out
hymn from the Plymouth church col
lection, and again prayed.
His words were significant. He
implored that days of sorrow,
oppression and deep gloom might pass
away. and that days of peace, rest and
JOY might come. That the speaker
was profoundly earnest in these words
was very evident. The text he spoke
from was as significant as the prayer.
The words of my text may
be found in the 10Th verse of the Sec
ond chapter of second Timothy: 'Nev-
ertheless the foundation of God stands
sure. having this seal. The Lord know
eth them that are his The context:
Who concerning the truth have erred
saying that the resurrection is passed al
ready; and overthrow the faith of some.
Nevertheless the foundation of God
standeth sure. having this seal. The
Lord knowcth that we are his"
His sermon was eloo uent, earnest
and impressive, every word being lis
tened to with wrapt attention. The
speaker made no direc. allusion to the
great scandal.

Two RIVERS, MORRISON Co., MINI,
August Is, 1874. !
Editor Anti Monopolist:
We are glad to welcome your paper
in this section. We believe in dealing
heavy blows and deep cuts to win in
battle--iust such as you are giving the
Monopolists now. May success crown
your efforts, and corruption, such as is
now carried on with SO high hand
and with such audacious plainness, be
swept away forever.
| never believed in the Republican
party; but there were many Demo
Gratis who thought The Democratic par
ty too long in power, and hence corrupt,
and they favored change. And if it
was deemed expedient then what is it
now, with such gigantic robberies and
deep planned schemes to rob the poor
laboring classes and fill the
pockets of the rich. Do
we then not deem it wise
and expedient to demand and labor for
a change Of administration?
Surely we could not make it worse.
think if it ever was time in Ameri-
can history when there was necessity
for change--a revolution--it is now.
/ believe VIC will soon see one of the
greatest and most important political
changes this fall; especially in our own
young and beautiful State.
The legislative battle is waxing
warmer and warmer among the Rcpub-
licans of this District. The aspirants
are Charles Ruffee, ''the 10 county
man. and Mr.. Hazcltine. We bid
them ''go in; it's but for while.
The Opposition candidate is not de-
termined upon yet. 1t is limited that
there will be new man brought for
ward, strange to active politics Of late,
but old in far dealing and in right
judgment and one who is deadly OPP
posed to Rings and corruption of what
ever nature. But we are afraid We
can't prevail on him to run. Hoping
you will remain nerved up to the &C
tive duty you are performing and wish
ing you large circulation here as else
where.
l remain yours,
G. HAYS.
