sAI.ARrEs OF .ALE AND FEMALE TEAcHEns.
70 ths Editor Of The C3tseaao Tribune:
.CH1oAeo, May 29.-Benedict's argument is not
so neuas he seems to think,--belng the old fa~
tniliar acquaintance without eyon the merit OF =
new dress, in fact with thee old one quite worn
and tbreadbare. So rnuch'logic has been wastad
upon the abstract question Of Whist ought to be,
and so many hne-spun theories torn to cobwebs
By collision with facts that any attempt to patch
up consistent and permanent theory OF the
respective spheres Of men and women seems d
waste Of tine.
Twenty years ago it was seriously doubted
whether woman could keep winter school in
the country. In fact, there we're some town.
ships where it VAS doubtful whether even man
could ''keep" school. For three consecutive
winters tho large boys in one school had
whipped the master aud put him ont OF doors.
Ono Of the youths preserved as trophy the
ra#hide wressed from the hands Of the foe. As
last resort = woman IVES brought into the
school, more in the hope that the large boys
would gisa mp going to school and leave tine
temple OF learning for the advantage OF
the children, than with any idoa Of
quelling their characterization. But young
Anerica would not surrender it's right to be ed
uca.ed even though 1t we're only bY woman. The
big boyb, one atalWart slx-t0oteE, one a carpeu-
ter by trade, third engaged to be married to
one Of the large girls, all walked ever to the
school-houaa the first day, and took their seats,
on mischief bent. But they did not put tba na-
tress out, or go out themselves. To the aston
,shment OF the community, they settled down,
in some unaccountable way, into paaceable sub
jects, md, as the lady asserted, became
her cordial supporters in the government
and discipline Of the school. That woman
received $40 pr month for her winters ~ork;
the men had received from 1856 to $40 for theirs.
She is Tor was at last aocounts) teaching st1ll.
They. (at least two Of them) have gone int3 9TH
er business. A few years ago it was asserted
that = woman could not kFceessfully conduct
large city school. Now t6era are hundreds Of
SUCH schools admirably taught aud governed BY
women Princ1psls,-the most faithless skeptice
concerning the experiment. being fully converted
by its results.
What tho ideal society would be when men
should do MI the earning Of money and women
be only spende1s, it is not necessary TO discuss,
while in Chicago alone there ara 80 many mar
ried women who teach school for living. Theory
IL one thing, fact quite another We light
speculate as to Uhat the effect would he Oh the
schools if nt tho women were removed and their
places supplied with man, but Ne should not ba
likely to arrive at any conolusiOn. A Bene-
dict statee it, the question is merely ono
'*of iudicinus combination Of masculins
and feminine fnaunpoe." Up to tho present time,

Col. McCiufe stated that the Constitution pro
vided for aeemi-annusf review on the first Mon-

MAYORS OFFICE,

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Sept "A, 1875.
1t becomes my painful duty to make public
announcement Of the death Of our distinguished
fellow cl.izon EDGAR SNowDES sR., so long
and tavorab!y known, not only rs the edito. and
and proprietor Of the Alexandria Gazette, but
also as one whom it delig hetd this people to
honor. Mr.. Snowden died at his home in this
city at 81 o'clock, on Friday, September "a,
1875, deeply lamented by ali classes of our cit-
zens. During his long and useful life in this,
the city of his nativity, he WAS called by his
fellow citizens to fill many other places Of trust
and honor, as well as that Of Mayor, hence it is
meet that public honor be paid to his memory
1t is therefore ordered, that the City Coun Gil
assemble tonight at O'clock to take suitable
action in regard to this sad event; and as fur
Their mark of respect. it is ordered that the
Town Bell be tolied during the funeral cere
monies tomorrow morning.
