also IL certain that the Board does not

lthorgh the order has that eEect) 80 az
10 throw the odium Of closing upon the
teacher, because under the school
law the Board may close . school
when il does not make an average Of
ten pupils for two consecutive terms.
II Is unfair that, because the teacher is
not lucky enough 10 get into > popuious
neighborhood, thereby not being able
TO make the required average. that his
worth an teacher is lessened, or that
he should not receive as much for his
eexTioes as. one = ho Is moTs lucky. I
am vet TO learn from one Of my probes
sion that he had rather teach school
of FIVE than Of twenty-five pupils, even
should the salary be the same. II can
not be that our profession, at this late
day, when we should be on the pro-
gressive march, is to be placed below
that of serfdom, because that would be
swiftly leading rs to degradation, and
men Of such great intellect as compose
our present School Board would not, in
ientionaIly, lend helping hand to eff
feet such an object. No, Messrs. Edi-
tors, no. 'Tis a mystery to Us all. Yet
/ for one am quietly being drawn to the
conclusion that the Board being orey-
stocked. overcropped itself.
In conclusion, / will say that one Of
the commands of the school law is,
that teachers must read and endeavor
TO understand and TO make themselves
conversant with the school laws. Well,
I have the boldness to assert right here,
that have read the school law and am
so opinionated as TO believe that | can
digest it, and that in said law | fail to
find single clause giving TO the Board
Of School Commissioners power TO fix
an indefinite salary for the teacher, but
do find clause giving them power TO
fix the salary Of the teacher, by which
il is plain that the law contemplates that
the teacher should know what he is to
receive for his services when he con-
tracts to teach. Then, according to my
idea, the pro rata order is contrary to
the Just and proper Interpretation ofthe
law, and | sincerely trust that by the
time the School Board again meets that
its better judgment may prevail and the
unjust pro rata order be rescinded.
Popular sentiment demands it, as il is
productive of evil leading to corruption.

.MeSSrs. Editors Having been to q
certain extent a participation in both of
the late school meetings. and after lis
tening carefully at the last meeting to
the elaborate eulogiums of Messrs. Dent
and Thomas on the Board and Exami-
ner asked of Col. Dent the same ques-
ton that / had asked at the previous
meeting. have yet received no def
mite answer and therefore propose,
with your permission. to PROFOUND the
same inquiry through your columns.
Some of the teachers charge these gen.
tlemen with partiality and fayoritism-
with asking questions both useless and
impracticable. We, the public, know
they are utterly regardless of the wishes
of the trustees and patrons Of the DIFF
ferent schools. We also know that, not
satisfied with grading the certificates of
teachers, they have gone further and
endorsed them as only for colored schools
and others for particular colored schools.
Now, we all know, under the school
law, the character of the certificate reg
ulates the salary, and that they have
the power 10 fix the grade of the certi-
fcate no one denies. But there ends
their power. 1t Is then optional with
the trustees, by and with the consent
of the patrons, whether they employ the
holder or not. The question we ask is,
by what authority do they, after grad
ing a teacher, then say, he shall teach
only colored schools, and as in Mr..
Dukes case only one particular colored
schooli Why have they not right to
teach any school, white or black in the
county under that certificate, particu-
larly any scnool that requires that grade
of teacher' We contend that anything
beyond the grading of the certificate,
any additional expression, is an arbi-
trary usurpation of power by them, and
that after giving a gentleman or lady a
certificate of high or low grade, then to
proceed to designate the particular class
or race of pupils that he or she shall
teach and the particular school house
in which he shall teach them, is piece
of presumption of which only our pres
ent School Board would be guilty and
is direct insult (an6 they are capable
of such things) both to teacher and peo-
pie at large, one that in my humble
judgment the people would do well to
call them to account for. Now, no one
viii deny the right of the people to call
for an explanation of their course, and
although these gentlemen have hereto
fore refused to take notice OF any ofthe
many charges brought against them
through your paper and may do so in
this case. yet they viii remember, it is
the people who are interested and
aroused now, and although they may
ignore public opinion for awhile, vet
the time will come. and that very soon,
when they will be forced to answer def
initely al the bar of public opinion.
There are seyeralot questions. equal
ly as important, but as heretofore they
have ignored all censure, they NAV still
refuse 70 answer and therefore I shall
wait 10 see what developments viii be
made.
Respectfully.

'PUBLIcANs AND SIKSERs.-I was
told the other day by a distinguished
clergyman that he had had discussion
with one Of his old colored friends, and
had asked him among other things. why
he was not Democrat. The old man
said that he had been taught that i was
contrary to the teaching Of the Bible.-
The clergymen wOnderingly asked
where that doctrine could be found, and
the old man replied that asst he Good Book
only spoke Of two political PaTties-she
'publicans and The sinners--he thought
ne must choose between them, a0d be
either publican or sinner, which
was but the Bible name for o DemoeTat.
The old man had evidently never OBJ
served how many Of his party were
both 'publicans and sinners.--FT0Ds

A Fox HUNTING PARsoN.--Mr. Rad
ford, in the north Of Devon some years
AGO, was fond Of having convivial meet
ings in his parsonage, which often en-
ded uprosrously. Bishop Philpotts sent
for hlrn, and said, "Mr. RadiOrd, hear,
but / can hardly believe il, that men
fight IN your house" "Lor, my dear, -
answered Parson Radford, in broad
DeVonshire, "doant " believe it. When
they began fighting, / take and turn
them out INTO the churchyard." The
Bishop came one day to visit him with
out notice. Parson Radlord, in scarlet,
was Just about to mount his horse and

the Bishop was in the village. He had
barely time to send away his hunter,

boots, into bed, when the Bishops car

housekeeper ran upstairs in sore dismay
and entered the parsons room. The

he saw his room invaded by his house
