The idea OF setting swill tubs filled with

they are not ready and willing to carry out

educational interests of the State.
There were a good many intelligent
men and women in attendance at
the recent convention, and all of
them will, we think, agree with us in
declaring that the assembling was a
failure. That its results amount to
nothing. 81"
1t seems to us that this need not
be so, if the members really desire
the Accomplishment of a good work.
They possess the ability to make
their organization a power in the
State, and through its agency to do
great deal in furthering the cause
Of education. They may influence
the public and the legislature, and
constitute their society the arbiter
Of all questions pertaining to edu-
cation if they will only exert them.
selves and determine to do something
worthy of respect. They will never
be able to accomplish this, however,
by coming together and reading long
and tiresome essays on such subjects
as occupied the time mainly dur
ing the recent session. They had
better leave such exhibitions to their
scholars, and devote their conven-
ton to matters of greater moment.
To insure this, they ought to do as
those OF other deliberative bodies are
in the habit Of doing. Instead Of
having a prescribed programme, will,
the subjects, essayists, disputants and
time all mapped out, let it be made
the duty Of the President to deliver
an opening address to the conven~
ton, in which he shall call attention
to all matters of interest. Let these
subjects be then referred to commit
tees, who shall prepare proper re-
ports and resolutions, upon the
presentation of which the conven-
ton shall discuss them conclusively
and authoritatively declare it's SEN
timents. In case the President
shall omit topics that private men,
bers may deem important, permit the
latter the privilege of introducing
resolutions for discussion. In this
way all matters meriting attention
would be likely to be presented to
the convention, and an expression
of opinion concerning them would
be obtained.
In case specific information was
needed, or legislation was desired,
let committees be appointed to
gather such information or solicit
such legislation. Under these cir
cunstances, the convention would
command the respect and atten-
dance Of teachers generally and leg
islative authorities would recognize
in the association a body of deter
mined workers whom it were we'll
to heed ands encourage; and then
educators would be able to do
inca!culable good in promoting the
educational interests of the State.

PEELED their subsection, but they, also,
hate the laws and institutions to
which they are held subject The
spirit of rebellion is, strong within
them, and were an opportunity Of
fered they would not stop at "throw-
ing off the yoke" but would never
rest content until they had:bound it
upon the shoulders of those who
were instrumental in defeating their
former efforts to destroy this govern
ment.
Should Tilden be elected this fall,
no matter how honest his personal
intentions or earnest his efforts, one
of two things would inevitably occur.
He would either allow himself to be
used by the anti-union democrats, to
revenge them upon those who have
opposed them, or he would come to
be hated by them to "a degree Of
vlndictiveness which would be dan
gerous to the general peace of the
country. He could not do his duty
to the country, because these would
not permit it, but would insist upon
his use of the executive power to
crafty their sel6sh' and malignant
purposes. The burthen of their de-
nlands. would be to "atone to the
South and to punish the instigat-
ors OF coercive war, and we fear
that Mr.. Tilden would become a
passive instrument in their hands to
do their bidding, and that his elec-
ton would necessarily be followed
by most disastrous consequences
to the country. We do not believe
that the masses of the people Of this
country could be induced to submit
quietly to the policy which those
who would control Mr.. Tillden's ad-
ministration would be likely to in
augurate, for we believe that that
policy would be dictated by hate
rather than reason.

Can it Be?

Men are never subjugated by
force, and, hence, we would ask:
Can it be that those who were Per Sc
secesslonists, States rights advo-
Gates, and pro-slavery men before
the war, have been Converted by
that war into sincere. RECEIVERS of
safer and more rational theories?
True, they have all submitted to the
results Of the war, but this was an
imperative necessity. 1t u.s., also,
true, that some Of those who fought
on the Southern side have, since the
war, become convinced Of the falsity
of their old creeds, and have hon.
estly accepted more enlightened
ideas. But these have been prompt
ed to change Of views by other
than compulsory means and have
given evidence OF the truth Of their
conduct. =
The great mass of the secession
leaders and the secession sympathiz-
ers, are to-day restrained by fear
from openly expressing their senti~
men1s. They may not apprehend
violence, but they do, and with good
reason, believe that it would affect
their business interests and social
standing unfavorably. They have
been forced into :acquiescence with
the popular will, and, realize their
incapacity TO- cope with the power
which controls 'xl:' them; but theirs is
an unwilling v ngr submission, and they
not only hate those who have com.

School Teachers Convention.

School Teachers Convention.
The annual convention Of the
Minnesota State Educational Society
met in this city on Tuesday of last
week, and continued in session till
Thursday noon. We had intended
giving full report of the proceedings
Of this body, but as very little good
can be accomplished by doing so we
conclude not to occupy our space
Herewith. To some extent the
deliberations Of the convention were
interesting, but, we are sorry to add
very little was accomplished. Two
important subjects, viz: Uniformity
Of text Books and Hygiene in the
Schools, were partially discussed but
no definite action was had concarn-
ing them and when we add that their
significance seemed to be fully ap
preciated by the members of the as
ISOLATION generally, it will appear
strange. that they were dismissed
without conclusive action. True,
that they were both placed in the
hands Of committees, but these have
not even an expression of sentiment
from the convention to guide them.
There seemed to be an unwilling
ness on the part Of some Of those
most prominent in the convention to
positively declare their opinions, and
they left it to others to guess whether
this hesltancy arose from ignorance
of the subjects or from supposition
that policy dictated reticence.
Others, seemed to regard the con-
vention as: an unimportant affair,
destitute of capacity to accomplish
aught itself or influence others to &C.
ton. The conduct and conversation
OF these said, as plainly as though
they had used the language, "Oh,
yes,these improvements are desirable
necessary, in fact; but what is the
use of our discussing them? Nobody
will heed what we say" And it was
really asserted that this body could
not affect legislation; could not get
the attention Of the Legislature to its
suggestions and requests. We do
not wonder that this is so, and for
the very reason that it has nothing
definite and practical to recommend.
If it ever expects to exert any in
huence it must first show itself capa-
BILE not only Of discussing the i'm
portant topics demanding its atten-
ton, but Of arriving at some definite
and.practical determinations respect
ing them.
There is no doubt that educational
interests in Minnesota are now at a
stand-still, if not retrogradlng, and if
this Teachers Association cannot do
something to awaken the public at
tention to the subject and bring
about progressive movements its or
SANITATION had better be abandoned.
While it continues to occupy the
field it deters others from putting
forth efforts to promote the cause,
and thus becomes positive hin
drance to the work in which it is pro
fessedly engaged. More than that
he shilly-shally conduct of which il
is guilty is calculated to bring thu
profession of teaching into disrepute
