Classification of the Normal School
Teachers.

Some years since, practical educators
urged upon the attention OF the Regents
Of Normal Schools the propriety of
grading the salaries of teachers in these
schools upon their terms of service. 1T
was then maintained that it would pre-
vent dissatisfaction and complaint, re-
move the occasions for raising the COM
pensation of any teacher on mere personal
grounds, place all employed on a more
equal footing, and supply proper incen-
tives for these to remain longer under the
employment of the Board. The necessity
of adopting this policy became very ap-
parent at the recent annual meeting OF the
Regents, and the following classification
was accordingly adopted:
Section 1. The teachers employed in the Nor
mai Schools shall be classified as professors, as
sistant teachers, directors of training schools
principals of preparatory departments, and prin-
cIpals of model departments. Assistant teachers
shall be divided into assistants oil the first class
and assistants of the second class.
Section 2. Persons shall be appointed to pro-
fessorships In consideration Of their being re-
CURED to teach special branches OF study, and
their fitness by learning and experience for such
work. Professors shall receive annually salary
of 81 200 for the first year. 81 400 for the next two
years, and 1900 thereafter.
Sec ion 8. Assistant teachers shall be classi-
fed as first and second class, in accordance with
the nature of the work required OF them. Assist
ants may be transferred from one class to the
other, as may be determined by and upon the
recommendation of the Committee on Teachers.
Assistan Mt teachers Of the second class shall re-
ceive annually a salary of 5000 for the first year
500 for the next two years, and $500 thereafter
Assistant teachers OF the first class shall receive
annually salary OF $500 for the first year. $500 for
the next three years. $500 for the next four years.
nd 81, 600 thereafter.
Section 4. Directors OF training schools shall
receive annually salary of $500 for the first year,
$500 for the next four years, and 1000 thereafter
Section 5. Principals Of preparatory depart
ments, when said departments are conducted
separately from the model department, shall re-
ceive annually salary of 5000 tor the first year,
500 for the next two years, and $500 thereafter.
Section 6. Principals In model departments
shall receive annually salary of 5000 for the first
year. $500 for the next two years, and $500 there
after
Section7. Professors appointed as conductors
of institutes shall receive annually salary OF
$500 in addition to their regular salary.
Section 8. Persons employed In any capacity
as temporary teachers shall receive such salary
as may be determined by the Board.

Where is the Home of Population 2

Where is the Home of Population ?
In his letter of acceptance, Gen. AR
THUR made the following statement:
"There is danger in trusting the control

government to party which has in al
most every Southern State repudiated OBJ.
legations quite as sacred as those to which
the faith of the nation now stands
pledged" This sentence has been pretty
severely criticised, and its correctness de.
MED, by the politicians in Washington and
other places.
On one side, the extreme ground has
been taken that no Southern State, except
in the case of Mississippi before the war,
had repudiated its obligations. The facts
In the matter, however, show that Gen
Arthur's statement is very mild refer
ence to their disgraceful and most signif-
cont history. From series of very care
fully prepared articles by Maj. Clarke, of
the Tribune force in Washington, the fol-
lowing facts were made to appear, the
authorities in all cases being non-political
and mainly the financial journals of this
country and Europe:
The total reputation in Alabama DUR
ing five years of Democratic rule was
$2S 900 900, made up as follows: Princi-
pal, SIS, 416,091; interest, So 100000; seal
ing recognized debt, 100000. Total,
$28 466091.
The Democratic reputation record in
Arkansas: Principal of unrecognized
debt, $11, 798 1913; interest due and unpaid,
s6,489,00O Total to July, 1879, $lS,2S7,.
273.
North Carolina reputation: Ignored
debt with interest to July 1, 1879, $2O,O36,
600; principal of recognized debt. SILL
852,164; interest of recognized debt, 3d.
464,9s7; interest lost by scaling, $4,000
600. Total, $44 333, 151.
Reputation in Tennessee: Old bonds,
$798,0O0; interest repudiated, October,
1873, 10000; half interest and princI-
pal, October, 1879, S12, 1877 900, repudiat.
ed by scaling, $9,709,000. Total, $23, S44,-
500. Virginia repudiated her past due
interest, by act of 1879, 50, 1916, 124; seal
ing, $25, 0S0,27S; principal and interest.
West Virginia, $37,0O0,000. Total, 1884,
276.402.
These are summary of the details
given for the States named. The subject
was followed through the remaining
Southern States, and the matter Of mum.
cipal Indebtedness and reputation was
also treated. The Tribune then summed
up the case at the conclusion of the arti-
Gle: The debt Sinking party is thus
shown to be master of the situation In
every one of the States lately in rebellion,
except Texas. The losses sustained by
the creditors of these States, mainly
Northern and foreign, already approx
mate $27s, 600, 900, exclusive of municipal
obligations, whiah, if added, would bring
the fgeres up to $500, 100000. The briga-
oilers have done this now in their own
States. What will they not do If they
can put their fingers on the national
debt?

GEN. HANCOCK, in his letter of accept
ance, says, sit is only by full vote, free
ballot and fair count, that the people can
rule in fact, as required by the theory of
our government. Take this foundation
away, and the whole structure falls" He
could not have framed more pointed
rebuke to the party which has placed him
in nomination. 1t is notorious that many
of the States which are counted as solid
for him do not pretend to have either
free ballot or fair count. The
YaZoo plan of intimidation is
in extensive use in Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama, South Carolina
and other portions of the South. Tissue
ballots have in many instances decided
the elections. The contingent plan has
been put in successful operation in many
places, to thwart the legitimate decisions
of the ballot-box. If these monstrous
abuses, the existence of which cannot be
successfully disputed, had been corrected
at their first appearance. the present Con-
gress, instead of being largely Democrat
ic, would have been Republican in both
branches, and prospectively, Gen. HAN
COCK would not stand the slightest
chance of an election; the solid por-
ton of his support would be
broken up, and he would fail with.
out remedy. In many of the
Southern States, where there was large
Republican majority only a few years
ago, the Republican element, SO far as is
shown by the election returns, is almost
utterly extinct, and in hardly any locality
Is there a free vote. 1t has been made
dangerous, as we'll as futile, to be an out
spoken Republican there. The shotgun
heroes and the rife-club msrksmen have
done their fatal work, and made it ex-
tremely unhealthy to express any opinion
or take any political action not approved
of by the Bourbon element. Gen. HAN
oCK must ave been aware of this condi-
ton of things when he penned his letter,
and the question is whether he would feel
like accepting the office of President pro-
vided his count is made up by States
where there is not full vote, fres bal
lot. nor fair count

Is altogether the opposite Of his great namesake.
The latter as punishment from the gods for an
infractlOn OF their commands, was condemned
to perpetual thirst, and immovably fixed in wa
ter to his chin. What must have been his feel
lngs to see that fluid, which more than all the
world besides, he wanted, within his reach, and
he powerless to drink it? What a refinement of
cruelty must be such punishment. How differ
ent our feelings to his antitype, who though suf-
fering ION Sickness all the time, having means
to meet the cost of alternating his ailment, yet
deliberately neglects using the remedies to his
recovery. The majority Of sickness arises from
the torpidity of the liver, and can be dissipated
and prevented by the use Of that valuable elixir
tonic the Home Stomach Bitters.
