GandIemns Day.
Tuesday last was Candlemas Day, and
there is a tradition (says the Alexandria
GGsette) in most parts of Europe to the eff
feet that a fine Candlemas Day portends a
severe winter. In Scotland the prognostica-
tion is expressed in the following distich :
f'If Candlemas is fair and clear,
fbere'll be twa winters in the year."
In this country the day is called by ma
ny ground hog day, from tradition that
upon that day the ground hog comes out
of his hole for the first time since the COM
nencement of the winter, and that if he
sees his shadow-that is if the sun be
shining-he will 60 back and remain six
weeks longer, during which time the win
ter will last; but that if the weather be
cloudy SO that he can't see his shadow, he
will remain out, and the winter is over

THR Brooklyn Argos estimates that
the calls for increased currency under
the Law of last month already amount
to $50, 1000, 900, nearly all In the East
and Middle States. In issuing this
amount Of national bank currency, the
Treasury must, under the Law, retire
S24,0O0,OOO greenbacks, 30 that the
volume of currency wiz be increased
only S8,OO0,00O. But the greenbscks
cost nothing, while the S32,0O0,0O0 Of
national banks will increase our annual
interest account by about sl,800,0O0.
Such Is the price the whole country have
to pay for increasing New England's
plethoric currency BY $8,OO0,0OO. The
price is rather e1orbitant, being over
% per cent. per annum! Nor does it
look fair anyway, this increasing
of our taxes West and South, where
we are furnishing for currency, to give
more Of it to those already we'll sup
piled. Such patent baek-sction free
banking and imitation does not suit
this latitude.

We give place elsewhere to the re.

been investigating Arkansas affairs for
some two months past. The majority
Of four is headed by Luke Poland, a
Puritanic Radical of the straitest sect,
while the minority Of one, Jasper
Ward, is Of such small caiibre that we
do not remember having ever heard of
him before. The two reports were SUBJ
mitted last Saturday, and Grant re-
sponded by his message Of Monday.
A laughable incident in this connection
is hat the hangers-on Of the Admins
tration have started a story that poor
Poland was bnbed by the Rebel" Gov
ernor Garland, with the sum Of $780,
600 to Join the majority. Poland might
stand it, if be could hear the jingle of
the money in his pocket; but what
fool would spend such a sum
on an outgoing Congressman,
90 long as Grant proposes to play law
giver, judge, executive and executioner
In all such affairs? If any attempts
we're made to bride Poland, they came
from Grants sidei certainly every in
Auenee and pressure short of money

insisting that, inasmuch as it
involved the expulsion Of a
member, It was a question Of the
highest privilege, having precedence
over all others. A point Of order was
made, however, that as the Mormon is
not a State Representative, but only a
Territorial Delegate, without a vote, it
was not a question of the highest priv.
lege. The Speaker reserved his decis-
ion, and now, if he declares it a ques.

The attention of the most earnest
friends of public education, and par
ticularly Of the advocates Of the
present system, has been for some
time past directed to the impor-
lance Of establishing In connection
with it Normal schools for the training
Of teachers. 1t cannot be denied that
the success of any system Of public
schools, and especially of one like that
at present In operation In this State,
which has no central directing power,
but is sustained solargely on local feel
ing and opinion, must depend to a
great degree upon the efficiency Of the
teachers. Now, teaching is not An in
spiration, but an art; and it is unrea-
sonable to expect the mere student
whose attention has been solely given
to the acquisition of knowledge, and
not at all to the best methods of i'm
parting it again, to become a successful
teacher, unless by a long and painful
experience filed with error whose
effects are often irremediable.
Senator Buchanan's bill, recently in
troduced, may perhaps have been
brought forward at a time inauspicious
for its success; and there is the danger
that members, whose minds are full of
ideas Of economy and retrenchment,
may adopt erroneous views of the
former, and carry the latter too far
and in the wrong direction. Our pres
ent system of public instruction is e1-
pensive, as any such system must be.
We did not consider its establishment
an unecOnomical proceeding; but if, as
is the case, in the opinion of those
whose experience and knowledge of its
workings qualify them to judge, some
thing is lacking to make it complete
and successful, shall we regard the
comparatively small outlay which
would supply the need, as unwise and
extravagant Unless we are prepared
to dispense entirelywith free education,
that expenditure is economical and
wise which is directed to its improve
ment and completion. In almost every
State in which a system of public in
struction is maintained, normal schools
have been thought and found to be not
a useful, but a necessary supple
ment. True wisdom bids us gain in
even from our foes, but to
her W sisters offer their ex-
periments for her benefit, and holdupto
her view the results tested by time and
approved by experience. We cannot
afford to waste our time In efforts to
be original; we are too far behind in
the race to stop to debate whether
there may not be better methods than
those before us. Putting forth what
strength we possess, let us row with
the stream of progress, and not against
it. The crying need of our common
school system is trained teachers;
these, normal schools only can supply.
Let us have the normal schools.
