Tennessee state Grange.

We invite the special attention of
our readers in Tennessee to the cir
cular letter of Worthy Master Har-
well, of the State Grange. which
will be found in another column.
The annual meeting of the State
Grange, which takes place at Nc
Minnville in Augusta next, can be
made a most useful one to the cause
in Tennessee if the Subordinate
Oranges select as delegates good and
true Patrons who will attend. We
hope the leaders in that State will
make free use of the columns of
THE PATRON to arouse the mem
bers throughout the State to the
importance of having this session
attended by delegates from every
county. Let such leaders as Wor-
thy Masters Harwell and Person,
and the District and County Lectu-
rers, as we'll as officers of Subordi-
nate Oranges, commence the work
of preparation now and keep it up.
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1881-04-16
Fhe Country Public Schools.

The pubic schools never before
received so much attention from
the farmers. This is one of the good
effects of the Grange, which must
result in greatly promoting the in
telligence and power of the farmer
class The discussions of the school
question in the Grange hall have
brought out the defects in the sys-
tenn and enabled the farmers to rem
edy at least few of them. One
great change is taking place in many
neighborhoods-the. farmers are get
ting control of the schools. Before
the Grange appeared the farmer had
virtually no voice in the matter at
all; schools were established by Off
Gals, teachers appointed, and the
teachers and booksellers selected the
books without consulting the pa
rents, and the latter were powerless
to prevent frequent changes in the
books that were as vexatious as they
were expensive. This is all passing
away now, and the farmer, or rather
the Grange, is getting to be the
master of the situation" When.
ever Oranges get control of the
public schools or establish schools
of their own, they select both the
teacher and the books, and this will
gradually become the practice gen
orally throughout the country.
We have strongly advocated the
adoption in Grange schools of the
books published by D. Appleton &
Co., of New York, and we are glad
to know that our suggestions have
arrested the attention of Patrons and
Oranges from Georgia to Texas
Many write to us to ascertain if the
Appleton text books are equal tc
others. Our reply is, that they not
only as good, but most of them, es.
pecially the Readers, are greatly
superior to other books in use, and
are growing rapidly in popularity
Oranges that contemplate estab.
fishing schools should inform them
selves fully in regard to the very
important matter of selecting the
books their children are to use. We
will gladly give them such informa
ton as they may require to secure
! the Appleton publications, and cor
nestly adyise their adoption in every
| every instance.
