THE HIGH SCHOOL QUESTION The
speech of Col. Lake before the school Of
ticcrs convention two weeks since, has
brought the above subject to the surface
again, and excited some discussion We
do not propose to enter the field, either as
opposing or endorsing the project, but we
do feel like demanding that it be consid-
cred in calm and candid manner, and
that no jealousies and prejudices he arous-
ed over it. A County High School would
undoubtedly be of great benefit to the
whole county. Its advantages need not
be enumerated. 1t is in the line Of inn
provemcnts and facilities which aln0ys
add to the well being and prosperity of a
community. The only question to be
considered is, is it attainabe. The at
tempt to arouse local feeling over its pos
sible location, or to prejudice it by speak
ing of the project as an attempt to burden
the poor man with taxes for the education
of tie rich, is out of place, and smacks
OF dcmagogucism. 1t is possible that the
High School project is not feasible at the
present time, but that and other argu-
mcnts in relation to it, pro or con, should
be weighed calmly and deliberately, and
decided upon their merits. We cannot
endorse the style of argument adopted by
correspondent in another column of
this issue.

The Escaped Nun.

Miss Edith O'Gorman, known to the
world as 1.-THE escaped Num-" recently
converted to Professionalism and for six
years an inmate of St Joseph's Convent,
Jersey City, New Jersey, will deliver an
eloquent, startling and thrilling lecture,
at Kings Opera House, Tuesday, Feb.
ruary 18th, entitled Life in Convent"
also relating How She Escaped" and
How She Became Converted"
She has recently been lecturing to crowd
ed houses in other cities, and is the first
and only Nan who hes ever appeared
before the public as a speaker. The
Boston Journalsays; She Is exceedingly
attractive in person, and a fine clocu-
tombstone of the best now in the lecture
field She has had personal experience
of the most thrilling char Ger, some
chapters of which she will relate. She
has great talents and power as a speaker,
and we can only urge our readers TO at
tend and hear for themselves. Her APP
peals to Protestant parents are powerful
and convincing. Few ladies in the lecture
field to day are here equal as speaker,
and none her superior. She speaks OF
various points 10 the preliminary cere'
monies of taking the veil, order of daily
life in Nunnery, the requirements OF
Confession, the want of Bibles in the
Schools, &c. The charm of her manners,
and ithal the air of truthfulness which
pervaded her lecture, took the audience
by storm, and the fair speaker was greeted
with loud marks of delight and approbat-
ion. Miss OGorman is graceful and
ladylike in her manner, and at once Great
ed a favorable impression. The truth
will never be given the public, excep,
by those who can speak as she can, from
ptrsonul experience. One half of her au
dicnce are composed OF ladies. This is
one of the most interesting and instruct
i've lectures ever given to the public"

Examinations for class promotion were
held throughout the schools Jan. 30-Feb
2, with results which, on the whole, were
very satisfactory, nearly ninety per cent.
IF all who were examined, being recon-
mended for promotion. One result of
these promotions will be to so relieve the
first primary rooms that for the present
all the pupils will be permitted to attend
both forenoon and afternoon. 1t may be
remarked further that advantage has been
taken of this opportunity to make some
very desirable changes in our list of text
hooks, but this change has been wisely
arranged by the Board in such a manner
that no extra books are required, and no
extra expense INT urred, for only those pu-
pills who advance to higher books or new
studies, and would, on that account, have
to buy, are required TO take the new book
and these new books are not more eXpen
sive but rather the reverse.
1t is matter worthy of congratulation
that during the five months just past there
has been very little sickness among our
pupils. so that the attendance in all the
departments has been well sustained. In
this respect, indeed, we have neen far
more highly favored than many of our
neighbors.

CHANGE IN MAIL SERvICE.-A new
arrangement, some time in preparation,
for the regulation of the Railway Postal
Clerk system on the four main lines of
railroad running from Chicago through
Iowa, went into effect last Tuesday. This
change involves the distribution of mail
on the trains running from Chicago to the
Mississippi, in the manner in which it has
been done heretofore on the roads Of
Iowa, and trasfer of majority of the
clerks from the Iowa routes to those east
of the river The Clerks remaining on
the Iowa lines will be reduced to the rank
and pay of route agents, and instead OF
distributing the mail as heretofore, will
bunch it for States east of the river. The
work on the Iowa lines will thus be con-
siderably reduced. The Head Clerks on
the Iowa Division of the Illinois Central
Railroad who are transferred to the east.

Dubuque via Forrcston to Chicago, are
