THE Law.

We shall have two more years in which
to further test the present school law.
With proper management, the law, in
that time, can be made SO popular that
the tinkering politicians dare not raise bis
voice against it. Let US put our heads
and hands to work. There is nothing like
honest, faithful. Jealous work. We
must, iu the 6rst place, work the people
up TO the law, prepare tbsm for it, and
for something better than the present lop.
sided system of public free schools.
We want a system that shall make ed.
ucation as free as the air we breathe. We
are willing to work for such a system
We cannot be satisfied with anything
short Of this.
The contest is not over. The enemies
Of public schools are on the alert. They
are watching and waiting for something
to turn up. They are not brave enough
to attack the law, but mean to destroy
or cripple the County SUPPLEMENTARY.
On this ground the contest between the
enemies and friends of public schools will
be fought. The former opposing AMI the
latter defending the County Superinten>
dency. There is no misunderstanding the
signs Of the times. In all the Southern
and South Western States the effort to
defeat public schools will be made against
the County Supervision. When that is
destroyed the public schools must fail,
for supervision is an educational neces>
sity. Strike it down and the whole IA.
brio Of fIe education tumbles to the
ground.
Let every County Superintendent in
the State buckle on his armor and PIE.
pare to contcs, every inch of ground
Agitate the question Gather the teach>
ers together and rub them up, and then
rub them down, aud then Strengthen them
out. Gather up the directors and work
them over, and make sensible msn of
them. Scatter school journals and edu-
c%ational statistics among the people. Call
to your assistance the ministry and the
public press. Put your soul into the
work and do good work and much of it,
and you may hope to succeed.

u LEGISLATURE.

While we have some good men in our
Legislature, it is notorious fact that
others are there drawing their per dlem
xho have disgraced not only their con-
stituents, but the whole State with their
ignorance and selfshness. Business of
Importance III which the people generally
have been interested has received but
little attention, fearing ttat something
might be done that would injure the
Democratic party. A few nights since a
caucus was called by the Democratic
members Of the Legislature for the pur>
pose Of consulting, and if possible uniting
their efforts on some movement that
would meet the appreciation and receive
the support of the people. 1t was found
that they differed very much as to what
was best to do. A great many resolu,
tisns- ware .offsred by the members
tmong Others, Mr.. Harris, the Hon. J.
L. 7. Harris, from Washington, the old.
est county in the State, offered the fol,
lowing.
Declaring the passage Of the Local
Option Bill unwise, and detrimental to the
party"
p Lid any one ever hear of such an ex>
cu's being offered why the Local Option
Bill should not pass? Detrimental to the
interest Of the Democratic party
We always knew that many Of the
members Of the Democratic party were
great lovers of whiskey, but we did not
know that the passage Of this bill would
be injurious to the party generally. We
next notice that Mr.. Mathes a prominent
member from Memphis, if we mistake not,
offered the following resolution.
''fhat the passage of the dog law, was a
step fraught With great peril to the Dem,
Ocratic party Of the State"
1t seems that all that is thought about
or done is to maintain the party and keep
it in power. How long the people will
support men who work alone in the in
tsress Of the party and do nothing in the
Interest Of the people, We are not able
y cay. Bat ve predict that Mr., Harris,
vin again be a candidate to represent our
ssupty, and il SO, the democracy will give

COUNTY sUPERuNTENDENCY

Under this head the american Journal
Of Education speaks to the point /:
"The county SUPPLEMENTARY will oc-
cupy Appointment place 10 our perfected
school system. 1t IL an educational ne
ccssity. Nothing else can meet our
wants. Experience is decisive on this
subject. What should the county super
%lntendency be? How can we most
speedily secure The establishment of an
efficient county superintendency These
are live issues, The irrepressible conflict
between the friends Of popular edaca-
ton and its enemies must be fought out
on this line.
How do the forces stand in this fight ?
AS favoring the county SUPPLEMENTARY
we may claim:
/. The. educators OF the State.
2. The press, the platform and the
pulpit of the State.
3. All on honest statesmen.
4. All other friends of popular edu-
cation. ...,
AS opposing the county superinten-
dency we may count;
i. All enemies Of popular education.
They know that in no other way can
they so enectually injure the public
schools. .. ..
2. All petty politicians, who expect
to gain popularity by the pretense of re-
trenchment. Strange that these'friends'
of the people can find notl ing to retrench
but the ''schools" of the people!
3. AL taxpayers friendly to popular
education who do not considerthe bene-
its of the county superintendency equal
TO the cost. This class is very large and
very practical.
In all the Western and Southern States
for years to come, the contest will con
tinue.
The county SUPPLEMENTARY can never
be firmly established until its necessity
is appreciated by the people. The argu-
ments in its favor are sufficient to satisfy

CUT TO EATH.

JEFFEnsoNvILLE, IND. March 49,
James Taylor, a negro boy, got into a
quarrel with James Crawford, a white
man. at Scottsburg, Scott County, Indi>
ana, lsst evening. Crawford chased the
boy, caught him, drew a large knife,
plunged it into the boys back, and then
beat him terribly. The boy rallied, got
away from Crawford, ran a short distance
and fell, bidding his comrades ard several
other negro boys good, bye and died in
%stantly. Crawford took the woods and is
still at large, with the Sheriff in pursuit.

THE STATE ~SUPERINTEN
DENT,

Hon. Leon Trousdale has been APP
pointed State Superintendent by Gov.
Porter. This gentleman has not. to our
knowledge, been directly or indirectly
connected with the public school interest
of the State. He is now u Superinten-
dent and it is the duty of every school
Ia in the State to rally to his suppo TT.
In his new position lie will need the
hearty co-ope. alton OF all. Hope he may

tional progress.

NECESSARY TO SUCCESS.

Our public schools rely for their sup
port upon the %sympathies and co-opera-
ton of the people. This sympathy and
cooperation can Only be secured by
making the system every way worthy.
TO do this We must have: l. An eff
cient,tpaid, county Superintendency.
2. Trained teachers. 14 r.....
8. Prompt and liberal payments.
4. A system of State and County tax

BELLS SCHOOL HOUSE.

DR.. 4. Armstrong closed his school at
this place on last Friday. The patrons
and friends Of the school came out in the
afternoon tc witness the exercises. Every.
thing passed off pleasantly. The DR..
has given general satisfaction. The
school was SO large II >st Of the time that
an assistant teacher was necessary. Mr..
VIM. Vines, a member of the school, was
selected, The DR.. informs US that Dir.
Vines made an excellent assistant. 40
There has been great improvement
made at this place in the last three years.
The school just closed has given more
general satisfaction perhaps than any
school taught at this place for several
years. DR.. Armstrong is an old and pop
ular teacher. In fact, he taught many Of
our prominent citizens in the ''old field
school," We often hear old men say
81 went to school to DR.. Armstrong. lie

He has not lost his interest in public
schools, for they have no truer friend thar

In our Judgment, is an improvement OF
