Our Ma TONS Grief


Twas but two days before the fourth,
When our nation was at peace
With all The nations Of the earth
That we were set TO grief;
While all our hearts were throbbing
That day to celebrate,
But our hearts were turned TO aching
When we heard of the sad fate.
The President is shot
The cry ran trough the land
And fifty million hearts were shocked
At the news ut their command.
Their minds were raging furiously;
They said we cannot see
Why our President is shot at
In the land they call the free.
Hold the wretch the people cried,
And he knew well what they meant,
For no one can escape alive
Who shoots our President,
For we are Of a people
Whose very lives we yield
To protect the good ana noble
President, Jas. A. Garfield.
They say Lo will recover,
Let us then give praise, ! say,
And wen have celebration
On that grand memorial day,
When he shall fake the rpins once more
And to all the world shall say;
The government still lives, my boys,
And I'm President to-day.

A Debatable Ques ton

Mr.. EDITOR MISUNDERSTANDING
much has been said and written,
concerning the superior claims of
female educators, for adaptability,
talent, &c, &c, and the popular
demand for an exclusive female
control is mooted, the question re-
mains an open one and demands of
the people careful. consideration.
The Democrat in a semi editorial
of last weeks issue, leads off in this
movement, under the head OF
"School Superintendent
The salient points of the Demo-
crat'S educational philosophy, may
be briefly stated and answered.
The people of the several districts,
says the Democrat, having persis-
tently reduced teachers wages, as
rule, and as might be reasonably
expected, drove the male teachers
out of the field into other calliugs,
leaving the females to be quietly
inaugurated for the work Of educa-
ton in their stead. The parallel
line of action pursued by them ever
since, has so far encouraged and
stimulated female activity, talent and
ability, that we have now employed
in all the common school districts,
an army of female teaching force,
that is a power in the educational
field of Iowa County, and per Sc dem
onstrates their effciencyand the ealue
of their services as educators. That
while education and experience are
opening up wider opportunities for
employment of females, we are nee
essarily obliged to concede to them
further concessions to attain higher
positions in the regular professiona
solid work of principals and superin-
tendents of the common and higher
school education.
We are not of those who jealously
oppose and condemn an aspiring
intellectual female, who assumes to
become candidate for principal of
a high school, or school superinten-
dent of county. We rather regard
it as healthy sign of progression
on the part of the female aspirant;
but we are somewhat distrusttul of
the policy of unmeasured female
extent of innovation that is constant
ly brought to bear on US, in the
election OF ladies to the office of
county superintendent. | regard it
SO an effect injurious to the charac-
ter of true and sound education
because we recognize executive
ability IN woman as rariety, IN
deed not but that woman is strong
and prolific ia all the uses and re-
sources Of her own nature, and obi
cations, and no doubt exerts wide
spread influence for the advance
nent Of education and society at
large. But to claim that it is wo-
man s distinctive prerogative to edu'
cate the masses, is an assumption

THE special car refitted for the re-
moval Of President Garfield to Long
Branch, is described in this way :
The seats were all taken out and the
car thoroughly renovated. A false
top was put 10 few inches below
the roof Of the car in order to give
air an opportunity to circulate be-
tween it and the roof so as to keep
the car cool. The partition was
taken out and replaced by folding
doors, and storm-doors added to the
platform doors. Wire gauze was
fastened on the outside OF tho car,
completely inclosing the parlor
apartment to keep the car free from
dust. The inside was hung with
curtains, and Brussels carpet was
laid Oh the floor. The bed was
also placed in position, and mat
tresses provided. Two large ice.
boxes were added, we'll filled with
ice. About forty men were employ
ed in the work, which was finished
in seven hours.
