Morals and NInnners.

We have been interested recently 10
examining the enactmeuts Of the severs !
States Of the Union in respect to the
moral qualification required By tho
teacher. There are no exceptions 70 the
general rule in this regard. Every State
has Incorporated clause providing that
good morals shall DO inculcated in tLa
public schools; aud that the teachers
shall possess good moral character.
The morals as we'll as OF everything
relating 10 school management and dis
cipline, ought to receive more careful
attention than they now do. or course,
IA respect TO this matter OF moral in-
fuence, nothing goes 50 far for good
~ the possession By the teacher OF an
unimpeached and unimpeachablc moral
character. But the acts aud conversation
OF the pupils in aud about the school
house might be vastly improved by more
earnest aud well directed labor on the
par. Of the teacher. Il is sad 10 tLink
that immortality grows rp around. aud
within, our school building, and that
teachers, IN too many instances, ignore
responsibility concerning what is Of ~
great Importance. Will not teachers
inform themselves aud teach their pu.
pals ia regard 10 good maRaep asd

IT would be a very wise act OF the

IT would be very wise act OF the
legislature the coming winter, to make
some provision for the introduction Of
the study Of the geography and history
Of WISCONSIN into the common schools
of the state. ] say Introduction, for
while the geography and history of tho
state undoubtedly occupy the attention
of many earnest teachers, they can be
only imperiec:Iy taught with the appli.
ances obtainable. Some excellent maps
OF the state are published. but o mere
map study IS only small part of the
study OF geography. A text book is
needed giving actual information ia re.
gard to the location Of the manufactur.
ing, mining, commercial, and agricul-
tural interests of the state; Its geologi-
cal and meteorological formation; its
principal rivers, lakes, towns, and cit.
les, and the relation which they bear to
the states prosperity. In the report of
the legislative proceedings assembly.
men are often denoted by the county
they represent; yet but small proper
ton OF the people would know whether
the gentleman from Calumet" repre-
scented county in the north, south,
east, or west portion of the state.
The history Of the state among the
masses is a matter OF tradition only.
People know what the "old settlers"
have told them and no more. II Is
generally confessed that in the study Of
geography and history we should be-
gin at home, yet the means for obtain.
ing this knowledge is almost totally
wanting No one will spend the time
to prepare suitable geography and
history without he is assured that it
will be introduced into the schools. so
that he viii receive proper compen-
sation for bis lObors. 1t belongs to the
legislature to take the initiative and by
legal enactments set the machinery in
motion which shall produce in the
miads Of our youth better knowledge

Tur 1NrERNArIoNALs DIVIDED.

Itis well known that the Information
ais in the United States are divided.
One body, composed almost entirely OF
the German, Austrian, Prussian, Swed-
ish and Danish Internationals, recognizes
the council which was organized by Carl
Marx. and which held its convention at
Geneva, Switzerland, in 1872 The In
dependent. oil. Federative, lnternatlonals
comprise the members of the organiza-
ton in Switzerland, France, Spain,
Italy, Portugal, Mexico, South America
and portion of those in Belgium, Hol-
land, England and the United States.
The General Tor Carl Marx Council be-
heve in Capitalization or united action
under the governing body. The indie
pendent, or Federstive, Information
ais believe in separate action under
their own guidance. but with the
voluntary assistance Of the entire
organization. ". A. A. Carsey, the
Secretary at the organization, residing
in New York, says the objects and aims
of the Iuternationals were entirely mis-
understood by the community. The
members Of the International organiza-
ton in England and the United States,
with whom he aud his associates we're
connected, certainly had no intention OF
violently overturning society In the
manner aseribed to them. They were
opposed to the exactions OF capital and
the oppression of the workingman. They
were opposed to the overgrown monopo-
lies which we're fast binding the country
hand and foot, and would soon leave it
in the same condition as the countries
of Europe. with practically en-
shaved masses. The Internationals
in France. Germany and other
countries of Europe, except Great
Britain, we're in favor of overturning the
government by revolution. The Inter
nationals in England and the United
States were opposed to this because they
believed that their objects and aims
could be accomplished by means of the
ballot. The events of the past few
years amply demonstrated this. In
England the ballot was being placed in
the hands of the workingmen, and old
abuses and exemptions of the privileged
and wealthy classes were being steadily
swept away. The Internationals of
Great Britain aud the United States are
steadily educating the people up to their
standard Of equality for all, and in few
years at the farthest they believe that
their principles will be favored by the
majority of voters
