TIE APPEAL CONVERTED TO SCHOOL
REFORM.

Our gloV but respectable contemporary,
after waking up frGm q three weeks nap
and reading the back numbers Of the
LEDGER. begins to understand the neees-
sity for reform in school matters. Before
going to sleep, with the easy con6ding
ness Of Hnsusp;cicus innocence, the
Appeal had been taken in by the tricks
of the earpetbag ring that runs oar
school affairs, and had taken up the
cudgel to fight the Barnum, Smith,
Pierce and Pickett battle. We no"
have the pleasure OF informing the citi.
zens Of Memphis that the Appeal is
waking up to tbs necessity of inVesti-
eating school abuses, which the LEpGEg
has been urgently pressing for three
weeks. Witness this from the Appeal Of
this morning. .
The enemies Of the public schools are
vigorously at work IN sly vay. and will
bear watching. They are at their best
but small-souled creatures, selfish and
without a particle Of public spirit.
You are right now, neighbor, as you
always will be. il you follow the LEDGER.
The enemies of the public schools are
exactly the rasesls We have been after
for some time with sharp stick. They
have been vigorously at work" aud as
you ssy, in a sly way" but the LEDGER
is keen enough to detect their slyness,
and fearless enough to expose it. That
carpet-bsg ring which has been ruling
the School Board, as you justly observe,
"without particle Of public spirit, and
to serve its selfish ends" will indeed
"bear watching. and we are glad to see
our neigbbor walked up to q sense Of that
duty.
