County Supervision.

We think that enough has been
said in favor of this movement, for
the present, at least. "a. D. Rector"
asks some questions, but we think
they have been answered already in
this column. It should be remem-
bered that the proposed change in
the Township system has nothing to
do with Superintendency. "a. D..
Rector" says that the present Town
ship system costs this county but
1882 annually, and we say it is hard
ly worth that. It certainly is not
business-like to expect man to do
anything for nothing. Besides, a
great majority of the officers, under
the present system, are although IN
qualified for this position; indeed,
we are satisfied that there are dis
tricts in this county within the lin
it's of which there cannot be found
two men fit for the position. But by
having a Township board OF, say, six
members, we think men could be found
whose services would merit a salary.
Let "a. D. Rector" and others,
think of these things.
The Highland weekly news. [volume] (Hillsborough [Hillsboro], Highland County, Ohio) 1853-1886, 1879-04-24

Something similar to the 'ring" the
old teachers attending the institute
tried to form, that they would moi
teach for less than $40 per month
They had the good of the schools al
heart, and wanted to elevate them,
but they wanted to fill their pockets
more Is not that the design Of
most of the advocates of County
Supervision
Now, a great complaint is made
against the Examiners. Some of it
may be true-I know not; but how
will County Supervision help the
matter? According to Mr.. Worley's
bill, the Probate Judge appoints
two, and the Superintendent is one,
Now, in that case will you get 'fai1
count?' Will the dog wag the tail,
or the tail wag the dog ? Why not
have all the Examiners appointed in
the same manner as the Superin-
tendent would be, and thereby take
the appointments out of politics, as
it was attempted to drag them into
politics in the last campaign?
I think the correspondent from
Concord reflects the sentiments of
the mass of voters on this question,
and not much of an attempt made to
refute or answer the points made.

OF Women.

The jealousies of friendship are IN
this more exhaustions than those Of
love; there are only phantoms to fight,
and the price Of peace is merely a
chimera.
A woman who takes a woman to her
friend, introduces her into her life as
they do the bearer of a flag of truce into
the enemy's Camp-unarmed and blind
Tolded.
A woman's fall is something like that
of a child. The first intimation the
child has that it has tumbled is conveyed
in the fact that it is being picked up.
Friendship is a picnic TO which all
parties contribute, and therefore is some
thing women cannot understand. With
them one party or the other must stand
treat
Some coniugsl fdelities can be ex-
planned on the hypothesis that many a
woman is satisfied to be nothing in a
husbands heart so that she is everything
in his life.
Prudery is often the mantle chosen to
conceal triumphant vice. Where in
ward remorse prevails, there will always
be a corresponding absurdity in the
afeCtation of a genuine virtue.
At twenty a woman searches for trail
ing arbutus; at twenty-five she is after
horse-radish at thirty she digs roots
for her blood. Such is gentle spring in
the various stages of the feminine life.
Women who would hesitate about cry
ing before a husband or a lover, have no
scTuple about shedding tears before an
audience. It is with their emotions as
with their shoulders-they are displayed
only in public.

More about County Supervision.

I have been waiting for some one
to speak out in favor of a County
Superintendent of schools, but no
one appears but the worthy Editor.
Now, I want to ask few questions.
It is said by you, Mr.. Editor, and
other champions of the cause, that
it will be economical, when it will
require So Superintendents, at per-
haps an average of $500 per an
mum. Now, in our county we have
141 sub-districts; cost for taking
enumeration 1882, which is all the
pay local boards get. Your Com
mittee recommends a reduction to
5000 or 1000, and as that would
not give one to each sub district, of
course you must pay them to spend
their time in looking after the
schools. Is that the idea
Again; Another argument is, that
so many of the teachers use the pro-
fessiOn merely as stepping-stone
to some other profession, that the
efficiency of the schools is impaired.
How will your Superintendent rene
dy that? By centralizing the pow
er in a few paid officers, who will
form a ''ring" to force up wages so
as to make it to the interest of
teachers to remain in the profession.

The SIM Made Of Metal.

In a recent article in the Nmeieepth
CenL,,ru, by Mr. J. Norman LOCkyer, the
writer very strongly objects to DR.. Dra-
pers discovery of oxygen in the sun.
Mr.. Lockyer saws he has gone carefully
over the whole ground and finds: First,
that the photograph on which DR.. Dra-
per bases the discovery is not one COM
petent to settle such an important ques-
tion: second, that he does not find the
coincidence between bright solar lines
and oxygen lines i'll the part of the
gpectrum with which he is most familiar;
and. third. that comparing DR.. Diapers
photograph with the fine photograph of
The spectrum obtained by Mr.. Ruther-
ford, he "fails to find any true bright
line in the sun whatever coincident with
any line of oxygen whatever" Mr.
Lockyer sums up the evidence as to the
SUMS composition in these words: $50
far as our uncOntested knowledge goes,
the sun is chiefly made Of metal, and on
this account is strangely different from
the crust of our earth, in which the
metals are in large minority.
