A GRADUATING SYSTEM FOE
COUNTRY SCHOOLS.

It feather in the cap OF our young
State, that she is furnishing to the coun-
try some improved and original methods
ofincreasing the efficiency OF the public
school systems, through one OF our most
ardent and successful educators, Mr..
ALxx. L. WADE. His late work explain
ing the plan OF his Graduating System
for Country Schools is so we'll thought
of that five of the leading publishing
houses of the country have already uI-
dertaken TO handle it. OF the system IT.
self, the author says. that although it is
still in its infancy, it has been OFF,
cially recommended by State
and county officers where
its work has been fully tested;
il has been favorably reviewed by most
of the leading educational journals oil
the land; it has been heartily endorsed
by some of the pioneer thinkers in the
common-school cause; and resolution
OF the National Educational Association
calls the attention of State Superinten-
dents throughout the United States to
the propriety of its adoption" In an
admirably written introduction to tie
work. President THOMPSON, OF the Uni
yersity, says from his personal knowl'
edge OF the working OF the system, that
sit enlists the parents, it quickens the
teacher, it stimulates the pupil, it siirs
country communities to almost lever
heat on the subject OF education"
We do not need more money for pub
lie schools in West Virginia; we do not
need more machinery; We do need
better methods; a better use OF the lavish
expenditures OF money by means oil I'M
proved and more efficient machinery.
There is no cause to which the people
OF West Virginia contribute more liber-
ally and more heartily than to the cause
of education; yet our common school
system, while accomplishing an inestl-
mable amount of good, is limp, and lag
ging, and lacking in some Of the first ele-
ments of enterprise and progress. Many
of the schools have not advanced one
lot upon the log-cabiE methods of "Ole
Yirsinny," and show nothing Tor the
liberal expenditures Of the State in their
behalf. We have a princely revenue
collected every year, for school purpos-
es; we have nearly half million dollars
Of a perpetual school fund, which is an
nually increasing; making the nu-
cleus of a grand and glorious educa-
tional. system. With such liberal provi-
sion, our school system should, every
year, show progress, enterprise, spirit,
AMI growing enthusiasm that will en-
list the whole mass OF our population
in the cause OF education. We are
glad, therefore, to see some new and Or
iginal su ggessions in this connection, in
which Mr.. WADE's book abounds, and
we believe its circulation in the State
will give a new impetus to the cause OF
education.

FIRE HIM.

We viii lake il in good h amor if
Mr.. CoyKLING shall conclude to stir up
Dir. HAYES with a stick OF his own
sharpening. We would be very glad to
commit to him work that should be
done before Mr.. HAYES quits the
White House-that is, expose the dis
graceful sham OF his so called civil SER
vice reform.
There has been a rumor for sometime
that Mr.. CoNKLING would undertake
this task, which was renewed when he
introduce his resolution calling upon
the Secretary of the Treasury for very
specific and comprehensive information
as to appointments and removals in the
New York Custom House. Mr.. CoNK-
LING wants to know you know, whether
IN making these appointments, the civil
service reform rules have been strictly
observed; whether they have not, on
the contrary, been deliberately violated;
whether persons have not been appoint
ed to salaried positions in the establish
ment who failed to pass the competitive
examinations as to fitness; together with
other information bearing upon the sub
ject. In his late message Mr.. HAYES
congratu ated Congress upon the Ad-
ministrafion's observance OF reform
rules in the New York custom
house, and the satisfactory working Of
those rules. The facts will probably
show just how big sham Mr.. HAYES is
capable Of palming oil upon the people,
il anything more were needed than the
fact of the rewards he has dealt out to
those who counted HIM in. Ii Mr..
CoNKLING wants to go to the bottom OF
this business, We don't know what bet
ter field he could have for most telling
exposure Of official corruption under
the guise OF "civil service reform"

MEMOIRS almanac has not missed its
bearings much for this month, so far,
and we may therefore take his predic-
tons for the balance with some degree
OF assurance. The following are his
speculations for the entire month:
"The mild spell with which January
closes will probably continue well into
this month, with the exception of day
or two, up to the 18th Of the month,
with bslmy, Spring-like weather pre-
vailing in many parts. and snow rapidly
disappearing. A couple OF days OF
clustering weather with rain or snow
will be followed by snow storms, and
cold weather throughout Ontario and
the Western United States.
This term will be followed about the
10Th by storms OF wind, rain and snow,
previous to the setting in of colder
term.
with the beginning OF the last week
OF the month, brilliant, mild, spriug-like
weather will again appear, melting the
snow and rendering sleighing impossible
ia some localities"

The Richmond Dispatch discovers that
"a law was passed by Congress year
or two ago authorizing the use OF double
postal cards-that is, a card to be sold
for two cents which should pass free
through the mails both from and back
TO the person sending t. The object
was to enable persons desiring to do so
TO pay the postage on postal card both
WAYS. We have neYer seen one OF these
double postal cards, and never knew
until few days ago Why none OF them
had been offered for sale. Ii came out
in debate in the United States Senate
last Thursday that although the law au-
thorizsd the use OF double postal cards,
provided there should be no royalty
claimed by any person, yet the Post
master General has been inhibited by
that provision from using double postal
cards because there are none except
what are patented; and therefore none
upon which there is no royalty.

GENERAL WEAVER says that the CEN
tire of population OF the United States,
which is now being computed, will be
found to be very near Cincinnati. The
centre OF population ten years ago was
about forty.eisht miles east OF Cincin-
natl, or rather north of east. The large
increase in the Southern states would
give the centre slight southern course,
and the growth OF the great West would
probably take it westwardly about fifty
miles. These CAUSES acting together
will throw the centre OF population very
near TO Cincinnati-General WALKER
thinks within five miles, although he
declined to make an estimate.
