Lecture by the State SuperiaIsndsns.

Hon Edward Soaring, State Superintend-

ers' Institute, and the citizens of Manitowoc,
on educational affairs, in the North-Side
School-house, on Wednesday evening" the
3lst Instant.
Prof. Searing's reputation as cultured
speaker and scholarly writer warrants US in
predicting that his lecture will prove highly
entertaining to persons of literary taste; and
his official acts, writings, and public ad-
dresses show that in the discussion of our
State school-system he fully comprehends his
subject In his Annual Report he points out
the imperfections of the system and the
changes that are indispensable to its real
prosperity. His recommendations are q,
r--~'ical as the arguments with which h.
advocates them are forcible, and his criti-
cisms are no less candid than they are effect
i've in exposing the crudities which provoke
them. The psrusal of his articles on Inter
mediate Schools, A State School Tax, Coun-
ty Superintendent, and Compulsory Educa-
ton impresses us with the belief that his con-
illusions were preceded by a careful inves-
tigation of the subjects on which they are
drawn; and that his opinions on any subject
are neither hastily formed nor capricious,
while their enunciation is remarkably free
from hesitancy or evasion. The father who
reads Prof Searing's views On the vsxed
question of compulsory education will find it
4 IL 10 al of nd
authority with the rigid requirements Of the
coustraining scheme; and if these considera-
lions do not, in the parental judgment,
necessarily precipitate an ''irrepressible
conflict between duty to his children and
obedience to such law his reasoning powers
will be amply exercised by any attempt to
cont overt the arguments advanced in the
article against the necessity and expedience
of such a provision, and the probability Of
its enforcement under existing conditions.
The educational bills relating to town high
schools and free textbooks, which were
recently passed by the Legislature, were
matured by the Superintendent and owe then
| legislative sanction to his efforts. These

benefit, and they establish his right to the
title of eferlner with far more validity thar
party nomenclature can confer.
We trust that the estimation in which oul
! cit zens hold his services and ability will be
made manifest in the size and character o
his audience on the evening of his lecture
here.
