Editorial Conventions

Editorial Conventions are not for
the general public. They are eXclu.
sively for the craft. They there
consider those matters of business
which pertain exclusively to their
own profession. But beyond this,
they possess higher value. There
we form acquaintances. and exchange
those friendly courtesies which en-.
able us to know each other better,
and so round off the asperities Of edi.
torial warfare. We generate more
kindly feeling, when we more fully
understand one another. The sharp
ness slips from the point of the pois
cncd pen, and we soften into gentle.
ness the paragraph otherwise charged
with vitriol. AS IN cXtinSuiSher OF

Concerning the Selection OF
Teachers.

The lie Sucr Sentinel is in error
when it says that Prof. John accepts
Presiding Eldership, and leaves
the school without a principal. The
Prof. proposes 10 remain with the
school in the discharge of his duties
till the close Of the present school
year. We have no objection TO its
other criticism, that educators shall
he chosen rs such, and without refer.
ence TO their church relations. But
we remind the Sentinel of the fact
that it is quite impossible to procure
an eminent educator, who is not iden-
tilted with one church or an other.
The truth is, that pretty much all the
churches are educating their ministry
to the extent that they
have quite monopoly Of educators.
The presidency and professor-ships of
nearly every university In the land,
exhibits this fact. Trustees select
from churches because they have the
material. Prof. John was not select.
ed because he was a Methodist, but
because he was an educated man, fit
ted by training for the position he
was given. The remaining grief of
the Sentinel is, that these church
educators are republican. Very
true. And the Sentinel will travel
q long ways among educators and
college professors, in church or out
of it, that are not republicans. Cul-
ture, nearly always, and culture back.
ed by religion, is generally sure to be
republican. Education and religion,
are very apt to make mon republicans.
