A POTENT ARGUMENT RIDICULED
But NOT ANSWERED..

Gail Hamilton in her pronunciamento
against High schools, as part Of our com
mon school educational system, declares,
and most truly, too, that the best teachers,
the most highly educated and the most
highly paid, are not put in the primary
schools, where all the children would have
the benefit of their superior culture, but
into the High schools, where only from
three to five per cent of the children come
in contact with them.
And now please observe how the editor
Of the leading educational journal of the
Northwest, disposes Of this most potent and
really unanswerable argument. To the al
legation that the High schools monopolizc
the best talent, and thus rob the great mass
Of our school children of the superior edu-
cational facilities, Mr.. Winchell, of the
Chicago Educational Weekly replies
"This is indeed too bad; but the evil is not
peculiar to our schools. The better talent
among our lawyers seeks practice in the
higher courts the great preachers persist

minded and undressing sinveers. The
best doctors command calls from the most
wealthy patients, whereas a statute should
compel them to attend the sicklier poor
and leave to quacks the ailments OF the
pampered rich. q Gail! Gail
Art thou not losing thy gripl Art thou
not little off, about these times2"
And having said this much, DR.. Winchel
doubtless threw himself back in his cas-,
arm chair, with the self-consoling thought

sick people who call in the best doctors,
pay their own bills; bu. passing to the
high schools he will see the best teachers
at work for the intellectual advancement Of
the few, while they compel the maRy to
pay to them their salaries. The High school
is the great lawyer, who prac-
ticing in the higher courts in
behalf of great corporations and
rich clients, compels the "underlings, and
"mudsills" of the community, who employ

ers, to help pay his salary; and finally, it is
the great doctor, practicing among the
wealthy patients, who compels the siokLer
poor men, who are forced to accept the at
tentions of the Quack, to help in the pay
ment of his exorbitant charges. Indeed
SHOULD "a statute be enacted" TO compel
the great doctors of our high schools, 10
minister to the mental ailments of the poor,
who are now left TO the quacks of the lower
departments. In his effort to be sarcastic,
DR.. Winchell indicated an actual need.
The primary departments, through which
all school children must pass, should COM
mand the very best talent, and not be left
as DR.. Winchell intimates they should, to
the "quacks" and "narrow-mlnded unin-
teresting snivelers" among our educators
And, finally, for the reason urged by
"Gail"-because they confne the attention
of our best educators to the few, causing
the neglect of the many, the High school:
should be abolished, ana no longer form q
part of our common school educational sys,

EVERYBODY will not agree with General
Ewing in the belief he expresses that the
result of the Ohio election in October will
be the first gun Of the campaign in 1880.
1t has not always been so, and Ohio is
by no means, what many consider it, the
pivotal state. The Democrats did and can
elect president without its electoral vote
1t will be safer TO have it, it is true; but, as
was shown in 1876, it was not essential tc
Democratic victory. 1t is no doubt true
that the decision in Ohio will have {
