LOOK TO YoUR TEAcHERs.-After an
experience of a number of years the
Reading Eagle speaks its mind very
plainly about the Reading High School.
Doubtless the school has been reduced
to the condition it is now found in by
the employment of negligent and incom-
petent teachers. AS Wilmington has
but recently added grammar or high
school, to her educational system it is
we'll to note the progress of such schools
ia other cities where thigh schools" have
been longer used. The Eagle says:
WHY THE H1GH School SHOULD BE
ApoLIsHEp,-During the last few years
the Reading High School has SO sadly
degenerated that many Taxpayers are
Of the opinion that it should be abol-
ished, as useless expense. Under the
administration of j. L. Valentine, Esq
il was one of the leading schools in the
country. Now il turns out graduates
who know nothing of practical use
mere overgrown boys and girls who do
not understand the use OF dash or
semicolon, and who are charged with
reading on the stage, at Commence
ment," essays and orations prepared by
other parties. Graduates of the High
School have been found totally unfit to
enter college without one or more years
Of additional study, and it has been as
serted that boys and girls just out OF the
grammar schools, or those educated IN
country school houses outside of Read
ing, are better fitted for the practical
duties of life than many of the gradu-
ates of the High School, who seem to
dawdle along through a term Of four
years merely with the result of weaken
ing their bodies and minds and making
them unfit for any useful employment.
Many an industrious boy is spoiled by
such system, actually wasting the
years he should devote to learning some
useful occupation. The expense of keep.
ing up the High School is enormous, and
the advocates of its abolition certainly
have strong arguments on their side Of
the question. Unless the school is bet
ter managed it is IA on-paying institu
tion for the people at large.

TIE MISSISSIPPI acknowledgements
Ames, in one of his late dispatches to At
torney General Pierrepont, says he is
willing ito assume all the responsibility
for having United States troops let loose
in Mississippi. No one doubts that Gov:
Ames is assuming enough, but whether
the facts justify the assumption in this
dispatch is another question. The con-
stitution puts the responsibility he refers
upon the President and Attorney Gene
raj. Gov. Ames, Of Mississippi, resides
much Of the time in his native State Of
Massachusetts,, and makes his appear
ance in Mississippi during the political
season. The colored people in Mississippi
outnumber the whites by over Il, 900. but
there is said to be probability of divi-
ding their vote this year. The uncharit-
allie suspicion has been expressed that
Ames's effort for troops was to use them
against such of his negro subjects as mean
to bolt. His failure to get the soldiers
causes solemn meditation among the
freedmen, and they begin to surmise that
he has lost influence with the President,
II the Mississippi conservatives gain the
Legislature it is thought that Mr.. Ames
will return permanently to Massachu-
setts.-Balt. Sun.

SENATOR BAYARD, of Delaware, grows
cautious. He made a speech In Balti-
more on Friday night, but he had not a
word TO say on the currency question
"State Rights" troubled him more than
anything gelse.-Cincinnati Commercial.
The Commercial man should rub his
spectacles and try it again. Senator
BAYARD's utterances on the currency
question weres he prominent feature of
his speech, and met with hearty applause
from the fifteen thousand Democrats who
listened to him. He discussed the ques.
tion on constitutional grounds, and we
venture to say no hard-money advo ocatt
in Ohio has treated the subject in more
clear and forcible manner, and the Con,
SlercidI, which is dong good service in the
cause Of financial honesty, cannot do bet
ter than to present some os the salient

Public Training Schools.

In the last annual report of the schools of
this city the Superintendent recommended
strongly the establishment of Training School.
for preparing teachers for our schools. The fol.
lowing account Of the working of such schools
ia extracted from late report of the supern-
tendent of the schools of New Haven, Conn =
" The primary object of these schools is, to
prepare young ladies' to fill vacancies occasioned
ny the withdrawal of teachers. The necessity
OF furnishing any considerable number of suit
ably-qualifed persons to fill vacancies occurring
with little or no premonition at any time during
the year, not only imposed a heavy task upon
The school officers, but exposed the schools to
imminent danger OF serious interruption or to-
tai failure, by unexpected changes OF teachers
'.The large'number Of young ladies' connected
with our High-School, and other schools in The
city, as pupils, suggested source from which
our wants might be supplied, provided they
could receive proper instruction and obtain
some experience before assuming responsible
positions as teachers. The thorough drill they
receive In the four years High School course IN

School, u chosen on account Of her special At

our schools. The school itself comprises the
children OF the district, or neighborhood in
which 1t happens to be located, and the pupils
do not differ essentially from those found in
other schools of the primary and intermediate
grades.
The Principal has the general supervision,
and Is made responsible both for the instruction
Of the children and the preparation of the young
teachers for their vocation. She prepares the
programme OF studies and directs the general
movements Of the school assigns the duties Of
the teachers and places them in charge Of the
classes and rooms.
THE Principal, pAssing from room to room,
observes carefully the habits of the teachers,
their methods of teaching and discipline notea
their faults and suggests corrections presents
the best methods OF conducting classes and Sc
curing good order and aims to inspire them
with an earnest desire to attain the highest
measure of success in their work.
"It is no part Of our plan to give instruction to
the young teachers in studies which they may
be required to teach. They are supposed to
have received such an acquaintance with the
branches to be taught"

A Frightful Court Record OF Rum,s
OOinRk.

The courts at New Castle have entered upon
series of trials that are not only shocking to
the moral sense of the community. but calculst-
ed to arouse more keenly than ever its con-
science on the subject of intemperance. We
must ask our readers to look over the testi-
mony in the Chadwick trial, which we print
elsewhere. The BON testifes that he brought
day after day, two pints, (once three pints,) of
whiskey to his mother. She had passion
for drink" Her death, however immediately
caused, was due to drink.
Following this trial will be another almost
Identical in characters second charge of wife.
murder, in which it is alleged that the dead wo-
man WAS victim of habitual drunkenness, and
the commission Of the crime, if one has been
committed, grew out of that fact. Again there
will be trial for murder in which the accused
IL saloon keeper, the victim one of those who
drank at his bar, and the killing direct result
Of drinking.
As the trials proceed, we shall have more light
on their dark places. 1t is an ugly record of
runs doings.

Money cannot be had and properties are sac
slhced this too while the Government cotfers
are stored with gold and the vaults OF the banks
plsthoric with greenbacks.
This is the existing situation, according to the
Gazette, and it would have us believe that it is
due to the change from State banks to Nstiona,
banks Gould nonsense farther go?
The Gazette, however, while processing to sup
port its leader, abandons him. Mr.. Bayard says
that
We witness in the cities plethora of cur
rency, which the owners long to invest-to lend
upon interest--but which the insecurity pro-
duced by the threat of imitation deters.
1t will not be lent on time or permanently in
vested until the owners are assured it will be
faithfully repaid undepreciated in value. That
condition secured, and the loan is easy"
1t might be well for the Gazette to ascertain
more distinctly what it ought to say, when it un-
dertakes the support of Mr.. Bayard's "open let
ters," 80 that their explanations should not dif
fer 10 widely

THE aAzETTEs DEFENCE OF MIR. BAYARDs
RANKING THEOKIES.

The two newspapers In this city which are
ayowedly of Mr.. Bayards party do not afford
him much service as allies in his notable endea-
vor to abolish the national bank system. The
Morning Herald is silent, while the Gazette..is
rash enough to open its mouth in the Senator's
Defence proceeding which he is hardly likely
to look upon with satisfaction. Denying first,
that Mr.. Bayard makes any "attack" OH the ma
whateyer, while the fact remains that Mr.. Bay
ard desires to abolish that system and return to
State banks, the Gazette says
'We understand that to be truth which can
not be .controverted. II man has = hundred
thousand dollars in gold and wishes to 20 into
banking, he cannot do it the law effectualy
prevents him from dong SO unless he buys Gov
ernmentibonds.
We do not need to inform intelligent people
that this Is arrant nonsense. "If q man has
hundred thousand dollars in gold. and wants to
80 into banking, he cannot do it," says the Ga
zette. Why what is to hinder him There is no
law against it. Hundreds of banking-ho are
pursuing their business in all parts of the coun-
try, and in this State there are not less than six
incorporated banks which are not under the na-
tional system. The acts Of Congress stop no one
from engaging in the banking business any more
than they prevent the sale Of newspapers or the
prActce Of law, or the-writing Of ''open letters"
When, however, banker proposes to issue his
notes, and put them ahoat; amongst the peo-
Pile as currency, then the law does approach and
say that before doing this he must provide se-
curity for their redemption. or this Mr.. Bay
ard complains, and the Gazette echoes the COM
plaint. The protection Of the people from loss
by unsecured paper money they would have us
believe is An sct of "despotic control" and the
Gazeae complains because every person who
may choose to call himself ''banker" or
'sbank" has not the liberty to issue n-plasters
at pleasure, defrauding the community with
currency that has no basis
To every business man who remembers the
evils of the bank-note issues which prevailed be-
fore the War, no argument on this head is needed.
The facts argue for themselves, conclusively
To seriously propose TO abolish the present sys-
tenn, by which every genuine note of national
bank ia absolutely worth its face and sure of re-
dempton, and return to the deprecated, uncur-
rent, broken-bsnk, and fraudulent paper curren-
cy OF twelve years ago is almost too absurd for
serious discussion. Mr.. Bayard proposes it,
probably, for several reasons, among which are
his Bourbon inability to learn, his desire to an
tasonize everything national" and his hope
that some common ground may be found where
he and the Sam Carys may unite their party ef-
forts.
