How to Secure Good Order.

a CORES spondent Of an educational
journal describes an experiment in
tho schoolroom which seems TO be
successful. Instead of the teacher
facing his pupils lie has his desk be-
blind them, end thus ovcrlocks them
to great advantage. The naughty
little ones, dare not Whisper or play.
,"1'hcy have," he says, $50 frcqently
come TO grief in attempting to calcu-
late chanC9, That they have conclud-
cd 10 make a virtue Of necessity, and
give up play in the schoolroom as
nnproiitablc, costing more than it
comes to-" Another advantage Of
this system is that it completely iso-
dates classes rcciting from the rest Of
:the school; The recitation henches
.hcing in fl ont Of the teachers desk
between him and the school, and the
backs Of the pupils toward each other,
communication by. look or sign is out
Of the question. The on,y special
rule made issthat pupils shall not
look away. Will any of our teachers
adopt this plan and report?
The Orangeburg democrat. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1879-1881, 1879-10-31

Tie future Of our country is in its
schools, North, South, East and
West. 1t pays The State to look after
thc children. 1t is cheaper to cdu.
cate them rs scholars than to punish
them as criminals. A school house
costs less and docs more for public
protection than IL Jail.

TIE PENITBNTIARY.

One James Clark, in the Salem Mer-
curry, makes the charge that, under the
present management, the Oregon State
Prison is a miniature hell and a dis
grace to any civilized commonwealth"
II one-half that he alleges is :rue, his
denuneiGtion is none too strong. How
ever, as he is not known to the public,
his accusations would have more weight
if they were supported by some evidence
Of his reliability.
Briefly stated, Clark's accusations
are that the sole aim of those in charge
"seems to be to degrade, torture and
brutalize;" refining and reformatory in
duences are excluded, and officers and
prisoners alike indulge in obscenity and
profanity at will the library has been
removed; letters and other mail to and
from the convicts are delivered or de-
stroyed at the pleasure Of the authori-
ties; the inmates have to furnish their
own writing materials and stamps,
though the chances are against the let
ters ever being mailed; the sick are not
properly cared for, the visiting physi-
clans prescriptions not being filled ;
''trustys" occupy the hospital, to the
exclusion of the sick; at least one death
has been caused by neglect, the victim
being allowed to remain in a cell for
three days without care or medicines,
light or fire, and was only removed to
the hospital in time to die; discharged
prisoners are in nine cases ont Of ten
deprived OF "merit money" in some in
stances not being paid even the s. re-
quired by law, and sin no case receive
the clothing which the law provides for
them on their discharge, but are given
dirty, ragged and often vermin-infested
clothing Of recently arrived convicts; :"
there is lack Of cleanliness, the bath
tubs being torn out and the allowance
Of soap cut down to less than one-third,
resulting in much sickness, and making
vermin abundant.
Doubtless the warmth Of Clark's
censure is caused by political differ
ences. We hope so, and that the war
den will ask an investigation OF the
charges. II he does not, he will stand
condemned, and the people will demand
that be vacate his position. The peni-
tentiary being maintained for the cor
rection Of the bad habits OF offenders, IL
is necessary that the officers Of the in-
stitution be humane and honorable
men. No justification can be found fol
the above alleged condition Of affairs,
and a morning paper insults the hu-
manity Of our people when it indirectly
excuses the reported state Of the prison
by saying that it is now a "mighty
good place to keep out off,

WOMAN PREACHERS.

The strongest foe women have TO con-
tend with in their efforts at advance
ment is the clergy. Though the ma
jority Of church members are women,
yet they have been prescribed from
furnishing pastors from their own mem
bers ; but no objection has been raised
to their doing all in their power, sin ST.
lenee," to promote the cause of
Christianity. They can work till
dOomsday in an Indirect manner, but
must keep their light 'hid under a
bushel." 1t is when they arise and be-
gin to attract attention to their own
abilities, that Paurs exhortatiOn for
them to "keep silence in the churches"
/ is hurled at them-for fear they may
dim the luster Of some shouting
4 preachers brilliant rhetoric, and force
him to yield up his well-paying pas
torate to a painstaking, careful and con-
scientious woman. Il is remarkably
rare that an able and popular minister
opposes the intellectual aud political
advancement Of women, because he can
compete with them, and the cause OF
Christ is uppermOst in his heart. He
knows that, as in the case Of men, only
a small percentage Of them will be able
to attain distinction, and is conscious
that earnest and thoughtful women will
do humanity more service than the
phlegmatic, stolid, pay-lOving, ineom-
petent men at present in many pulpits.
He wishes to give the ladies a chance,
and those who "are found wanting
will very soon be relegated back to the
congregations. and the pulpits occupied
by capable pastors.
In the past half decade, however
i great progress has been made by women
in their efforts to secure justice in the
churches which they do so much to sus-
tain. Lady preachers are not un-
common now, and their efforts have
been productive Of good results. Their
} services are no longer confined to
prayers, entreaties, church socials, con-
} tributions, and cooking yellOw-legged
chickens for the stalwart ministers 8
ban is not placed upon those who have
the courage to arise and unfold th'
emotions which convulse their hearts
they are not frowned down as bold ad
venturesses and insincere speakers
= using the garb OF Christianity for pc
= cuniary gain but they are honored an'
respected as conscientious and earnes
workers in the great cause to whicl
{ they have been called.
{ In view Of the advance which tn
e cause Of woman's freedom in the churcl
e has recently made, the American
e Woman Suffrage Association, at its re
cent meeting in Cincinnati, appointel

RED rs. WHITE.

Princess Sarah Winnemucca receives
the support Of the press in her endeav-
ors to place before the world the wrongs
OF her people. The San Francisco
Chronicle says the "best element of the
city are encouraging the brave woman
with their assistance aud advice. I"
Other papers are equally courteous to
her, and her grievances are listened to
by immense audiences. The action Of
the Chronicle aud certain other journals
in this matter is in marked contrast 10
their reception Of the ladies who come
before the public to complain Of the
wrongs Of women. Although the num-
Der is quite small nowadays, yet there
are still few papers which try to hold
up to ridicule a lecturer who makes an
appeal for her defenseless and down
trodden sisters. It makes much differ
ence whether the people asking justice
are Indians or women, aud whether the
lecturer is red or white.

THE MOVEMENT DYING OUT"

Occasionally, some advocate Of
Woman Suffrage. becoming dispirited
because her Just demands are not COM
piled with Immediately, announces that,
although she does not surrender one
point in the arguments made for the en-
franchisement of woman, she has de-
cided to stop her portion Of the crusade,
because she does not find all mankind
arrayed in her support. We are sorry to
find these rare evidences Of disheart-
ening, for the reason that every paper
or publication opposed to the reform
harps on the single back slip as though
the bottom had dropped out Of the en-
tire movement. The reason given for
stopping the advocacy Of the cause is
senseless. If all persons were in favor
Of the desired change, there would evil
IDENTIFY be no use for discussion und agi-
tation; and, because one person, for
self-suflicient motives, decides TO aban-
don the cause, it is no proof that there
is any lack Of stability in the move
ment. At the present time, there is
every occasion to be cheerful for the
future. Outside of the advances made
in several States and Territories, there
is an excellent prospect that the Repub.
lican party will enfranchise woman in
time for the National election of 'S4
The papers that raise such a fuss be
cause one woman has concluded tC
make no further speeches in favor Of tht
rights Of her sisters, should call 10 minC
the fact that she is only one in {
million. II a Republican gets disguised
with his party and joins the Democ
racy, or the reverse, no masculine ed
itor thinks it positive proof OF the decay
of either faction. But let one Woman
SuTragist grow weary, and straightway
the assertion is made that the move
ment is dying out.
a few days since our attention wa
called to the fact that a woman VIII,
formerly wore the "Bloomer" costume
and made herself known as an advOcat
of Woman Suffrage, had been convicte'
of some confidence game and sentences
to the penitentiary in an Eastern State
The remark was passed, THAT is rougl
on the Woman Suffrage movement
We replied that no doubt there are un
