state Normal School.

A State Normal School, the first ever held
University of Tennessee buildings, Thurs
day, June 30th, and will continue through
the month of July, for the benefit
and instruction of teachers through
out this portion of the State,
The school will be conducted by
State Superintendent w. S. Doak, in con-
nection with the faculty of the University,
and other eminent educators and the exer-
cises will be of such nature as to make it
almost indispensable to the teacher who
would keep up with the times.
1t is also contemplated by the manage
ment to arrange an attractive and instruc-
tive series of lectures, by some of the ablest
and most distinguished educators and lee
turers in the land to be delivered
This viii be one of the most important fea-
lures of the occasion. In the Peabody
fund, which is set apart for the Normal
school, there is only provision for the actual
expenses OF the institute, or school, and
| these lectures viii entail an additional ex-
pense of from 5000 to $500 which must be
raised among our citizens. Professors
| Joynes and DinwidClie, as a com,
mittee from the faculty, presented
the matter to the city council Friday
night, and they promptly passed a reso
luton for the appointment of a committee
to assist the faculty in presenting the matte1
to our citizens who are able to contribute t.
such an enterprise. This is all that wa
asked of the city. It is hoped that the en-
terprise which is certainly worthy one il
every sense of the word, will receive favora
BILE consideration at the hands of our cit
| zens.

Washington Cor of the Cincinnati Gazette.
The fact which decided the PRESS
dent to nominate MIR. Robertson as
collector has at last become known,
and it must remove The doubts OF
large number of those who have
questioned the policy of the Presl-
dents first step, even while support
ing him since against the course
taken by Mr.. Conkling.
It appears that it had been decided
to appoint Mr.. Robertson to some
prominent Office in New York, and
this conclusion had been reached be-
fore the first batch of nominations
for that State was made. Just at
this time the President was given tc
understand in way which admitted
of no mistake that the late Senator
Conkling would insist upon controls
ing the custom-house appointments
whenever a change should be made
AS soon as the President became
convinced of this, he decided to maxi
change in the custom-house at onc'
and have the fight out on the thres
hold of his administration rather thai
to have it injected into the middle O
his term, as it would have been ha'
he waited till Merritts term expired

GROSS INJUSTICE.

Bishop Warren, 10 bis interesting
and instructive lecture of Friday
night, alluded to the inequality Of
the compensation paid to women and
men in Europe for the same work
performed, and expressed a desire to
know Of some civilized country
where gnch injustice is not practiced.
We are sorry that he cannot find
such a country at home. Why is it
that such gross injustice is allowed
in countries that boast of their civ
ilization It is so in our own and it
is SO in other countries. Reasons SO
frank as that offered by the
bishop, to-wit: the men have to
buy hats, shoes, meerschaum pipes,
beer, &c, while the women can go
bareheaded and barefootsd are
feldom offered. But this is about
as good reason as can
be given. Men are paid higher

Middle Tannef So - Crop and Educational
NOtPS,

In conversation at Athens the other day
with gentleman of wide observation, who
has recently travelled extensively through
Middle Tennessee, We gather the following
facts:
He states that the three counties of Moore,
Franklin and Warren make enough whisky
each year in which to float Noah's ark, with
all its cargo of freight. The wealth is
chiefly invested in carrying on large distil-
leries, which abound everywhere, and new
ones are going up all the time.
As to the crops his observations as far as
Duck River are that the grass is the best
crop since the war. The wheat,
where it is well put in, will be
a rich yield but the late sowing, indifferent
| " put in, will be q failure, Corn promises
well, but oatsare not quite an average crop.
In the entire county of Moore there is not
to be found comfortable school-house
Winchester Franklin county, has, perhaps
the best schools in Middle Tennessee. The
normal school at this place is, perhaps, al
things considered, the best in the State, ant
these are the dependence of the place. II
the language of our informant, 'Winches
ter, like Athens, would cease to be withou
her schools

wages for the same service rendered
by women, and if it is not for the
purpose of paying for their beer,
cigars and tobacco, why is it? We
would like for some of our readers
to give us better reason. If they
can.
Lady clerks in the drygoods stores
can sell as many goods as male
clerks. Female teachers are just as
capable and efficient as males.
Female clerks in the government
service are as proficient in the per
formance of their duties as
males. and great, deal more
SO in many instances. Their
services in all these vocations
are just as valuable, and yet in
many instances their pay is one
third less? We characterize this as
a piece of the grossest injustice, and
challenge any man to show other
wise. And yet it is practiced here
in America, where we boast of equal
rights and the highest order of civil
ization.
This inequality is based on long
custom-nothing else. Upon what
theory was such a custom estab-
lished? Why, that men are mentally
the superiors Of women, theor,
long since exploded. Intellectu-
: ally, female teachers and clerk
will compare fayorably witt
the males engaged in the same pur
+ suits The factory girls are as intel
: lectual as male mechanics. In liter
allure and the arts women have ad
vanced equally with men. As mat
ter of fact, female inferiority is 10
claimed now except by inferior mel
. Prejudice is giving way to a larg
extent, and women are coming to til
+ front as they never did before. "
are glad to see it, and 50 long as til
inequality of compensation is pre-
served it will be blot upon OF
civilization. IF men will have the

EDUCATION IN TENNESSEE.

If, in the next two years, progress
is not made in Tennessee in the
course of education, we are satisfied
that it will not be the fault of DIR.
Doak, State superintendent of public
instruction. His heart and soul is
in the work. He has made the subs
ject study, and having no political
ambitions to crafty, he may be ex-
pected to do his whole duty, with an
eye single to the general advance
ment Of the cause.
We believe there has been a great
Improvement in public sentiment in
the last ten years. We have
heard men talk in opposition to
pubIic schools. We have heard them
say that it was a piece OF
injustice to require one man to pay
taxes for the purpose Of educating
another's child. But that was some
time ago-we do not hear such fool
ish talk now. There may be, and
doubtless are such yet, but their
number has grown smaller, and they
are less outspoken than they former
~ were It is not popular to talk so
now.
We have read within the past two
weeks, with qualification, reports
from schools and colleges all over
Tennessee. These reports, general
", show an improvement both III
numbers and interest. This is almost
universally so. It may be accounted
for, partly, on the ground that bust
ness has improved and, as o conse-
quence, the people have more money
with which to educate their children
than formerly. But we think it is
something more than that. There
is evidently a greater interest felt OF
the subject than ever before. More
boys and girls and more parents az
preciate the benefits and importance
of education than before. This show
that the leavenis at work. It wi
result in arousing such public ser
timent as will demand in fey
years, a better and more efficien
school law. Whatever SuperintenC
ent Doak can do in this directio
will be time we'll spent, and we al
sure he will do all he can. I'll
cause of education in Tennessee
yet in its infancy, and it require
constant watching and nursing
But it gives promise of early ma
turity and strength. To this end il
Us all labor.

administration would have gone SAIL
ing smoothly over the bounding seas
of an unprecedented national pros>

the affairs of nations and of men has
ordained otherwise. Better that the
battle should be now. The hour has
come, and whatever The result in
Albany, the man for the hour is Ros
