Our Public schools.

MIR. EDITOR: AS the time for clos
ing our public schools in the rural
districts is at hand, and SO a great
many have already closed, / desire TO
contribute a short editorial to the col
umns of your worthy paper, for no
other purpose but to give some light
upon the condition and progress of our
public schools
IL is notod fact that we now have
a splendid system of Public Instruc
ton in the State of Tennessee; yet il is
not without its mperfections. The
schools in many parts Of the State are
running up TO high standard, and are
doing much good towards educating
the masses yet, in other localities,
they fail meet the demands of the
day, aud come far short of he object
for which they were Instituted;
some places they do not continue long
enough to accomplish the desired re-
suit, only three or four months III the
year. But the greatest trouble j., that
niue times out of ten we can not eleot
school com missioners who are com Pc
tent to execute the functions of lie
office to which they are elected. And
when they are qualified for the posi-
ton, it not unfrequently happens that
they employ teachers better qualified
to drive an OK wagon than to execute
the functions of the school room, be-
cause they are some of their relation,
and can board at home, or be ause
they are "cheap teachers" Aud thus
everything is running the vital interests
Of public schools, however, still it
has been kept. but You ask
{" WHY do you not elect qualified
school commissioners who can look
after the interests of your school prop
erty?n / answer this by stating that
there are so many illiterate, il discreet
and injudicious voters Ia every DIS
trict. who will vote away their best
interests and privileges, simply be-
cause the candidate Gays he wants
cheap teachers and intends to put
down the salaries of school teachers"
that il ia almost impossible TO elect
qualified men to this Office. i appeal
to every sensible teacher In the State
who il connected with public schools
for the veracity of the above state

Turnpike Roads Versus Railroads.

Mr.. EDITOR: | regret the paper
containing your editorial ola recent
date with regard to railroads in East
Tennessee, by some means got mis-
placed and therefore l can't distinct
ly call to mind your exact position
with reference to the matter. How
ever, as we'll as | can remember you
took strong ground for narrow
gauge railroads, but said nothing as
the Importance of turnpike roads.
These, it occurs to me, are the kind
we really need in East Tennessee,
and especially in this city, however
important the former may be. They
need not and do not interfere with
trunk lines or great highways con-
Meeting Knoxville with the principal
markets of the country. And for,
all that, construct as many narrow
gauge roads as you are able to
construct. 1t will do no harm, but,
as intimated, turnpike roads are
the kind of roads We want, as they
can be cheaply built, will answer
more general purposes and be more
conducive to the welfare of all con-
cerned. We can't have a narrow
guage road on every entrance into
Knoxville, but we can and ought to
have a turnpike on every one. No
one can fully estimate the advan-
tages that would accrue to this city
and to our country cousins by &C
complishing a work of this kind.
For example, there should be 4
pike road from here to SeYierville,
and thus tap rich section of East
Tennessee, perhaps the richest. And |
this reminds me that the good citi-
zens of that county once proposed |
to join Knoxville in this project,
and made some informal PROPOSE
tons to this effect, which were
never considered by our citizens.
They further proposed to extend
yraded road from the town of
Sevierville across the mountains
nto Western North Caroline, which
would have opened up to US
hat fertile section and brought its
rade to our city 1t is not too late
yet. 1t can still be done, but it will
'equire labor and the expenditure
If money, but labor and money well
Knoxville must be alive
o the matter and so must the county
f Sewer. VIII that county make
ONE formal or official proposition
o Knoxville, looking to the inaugu-
alton of the movement?
Then again, no sane man would
question the good sense of a turn
ike road to Tazewell, and from
hence to Cumberland Gap and to
Lee county, Virginia. This would
re quite "bonanza" for Knoxville.
Her merchants would reap a rich
arvest. With our present system I
f mean roads, the meanest on
arth, we secure a vast deal of traffic
f that section, but it would be aug .
lented an hundred fold if we had
pike road. 1t would stimulate pro- G
uction of all kinds, and in five years
+ less these productions would
Increase enormously, and Knoxville
7ould get the bulk of them. Over
UGH a road a two-horse team could 5
aul twice as much as over the .
resent road. Indeed, the farmers
re afraid to risk such a road. ?
hey cant haul load over it that y
i'll pay them anything, and their
agons are likely to mire in the
I'D and stick there till they can
ouble team and pull them out.
[ shall, with your permission, say
ore on this subject directly.
