4piht UNIV 'iipbiH-
Tie Educational Weekly, Of Chi
cago, has become by a change Of
name, The Present Age. According
to editorial announcement, the
change is not to be in name only.
This is what the publisher says in
reference to its future mission:
The Present Age is, first of all,
a Journal OF Education, in the broad
est sense of that title But it is not
strictly professional paper 1t will
address itself to parents, teachers
and school officers as to the three
great classes charged with the duty
of educating the young but it asks
audience also of all patriotic citizens
who are concerned for the intelligence
and civilization of their country.
1t will lend its best efforts to aiu
teachers and to improve the schools,
but it takes into account the evident
truth that education is not prod
uct of the schools alone, and that
the efforts for its extension ought
not to be confined to the care If
children of the school ages. In s
broadcast and best sense, education
is the result OF all the influences that
develop mind, give knowledge, shap,
character, inspire the sentiments or
fashion the career Of men anu
women in this world. Childhood
and youth are indeed the special
periods of schooling, but education
comes to men of all ages, and no
population ever rose OF will rise to
high intelligence whose education
does not go on far beyond its school
work. Education, in this higher
sense, is one of the high aims, as it
IS one Of the strongest forces in civ
lllzation. 1t is one of the snrest
safeguards of society, the most
potential factor in free govern
ment, the browning grace and hope
Of the present age This is the
high stand point from which this
paper seeks to view and to discuss
the educational doctrines and prob
lens of the times. On this ground,
alone, can all classes of the Repub-
lie be summoned to make our edu-
cation adequate to our needs"
The paper is in charge of stock
company, whose members have
assumed the responsibility of its
publication, as regards both its liter
airy and financial character. No one

The Wisconsin Teachers Associa
ton held its regular semi-annual
session at Madison last week
Owing to several different reasons
there was an unusually large attend.
ance Of teachers, and more than an
ordinary degree Of interest in the
proceedings.
Papers of much merit were read,
and most of them were followed by
earnest, practical discussion. Prof
o. 7. Bright, of Chicago, read a
valuable and thoroughly practical
paper on Language IL ssons for Pri-
mary classes, which was followed
by practical exemplitication by a
sister of the writer, teacher in the
Madison schools. This lady brought
a class Of small children flom her
own department before the Associa-
ton and by her sensible and in
genious methods Of training in the
use Of correct English elected
hearty commentator from all pres
ent.
Prof 4. A. Miller, of Waukesha,
in a paper explaining the workings
of an ungraded department in con-
nection with his graded school, drew
out much vigorous discussion of a
subject fraught with interest to
every one connected with graded
schools.
Supt. Graham in concise,
straightforward manner outlined in
some measure the policy he intends
to adopt as the head of the edu-
cational system of the State, and
Hon. W. HI Chandler read a well
considered paper on The Signs of
the Times.
Other speakers and writers pre-
scented equally profitable subjects,
well worthy of further description,
but as these papers are to be pub
lished in the Journal of Education,
which is read by nearly ell teaches,
it is unnecessary to dwell at greater
length here.

The Wisconsin Journal of Educa-
ton will continue to be issued as
heretofore from the department OF
Public instruction. Prof. Graham.
the new State Superintendent, and
his assistant, ~ H. Chandler, will
be the editors. The character OF
tins Journal is too well known to
teachers to require any notice here.
Nor is it necessary to inform many
teachers that the Journal will con
tinue to furnish as much to interest
and profit as it has done hitherto ;
the ability Of the men who have il
in charge is sufficient guarantee OF
this.

ATLANTA, GA, June Ex-senator
Ben Hill, accompanied by his wife and
son, Ben Hill, jr., arrived at lac
o'clock this afternoon, from Eureka
Springs, Ark. The interior of the
depot was crowded, as was also the
street outside, with the pride of At
%lanta's people, his nearest, dearest
and truest friends. On the approach
Of the train the crowd gathered closer
together, anxious for the first glance
at Georgia's beloved son, whose sad
affection they have incurred so sim
cerely and when he approached on
the platform, tenderly supported by
his son in law, Mr.. Edgar Thompson
it was the signal for a silent acclaim OF
sorrow. Not one in the crowd but
whose heart sank at the ravages
wrought upon his majestic frame in
the wearing OF his cruel afliction.
Tfavel worn, bed weary, pale and
emaciated, he stood, with something
Of a shadow of despair in his great sad
eyes that were won't to fash to the
FIRE of eloquence from his patriotic
soul, and slewly raising his right hand,
he lifted his hat, painfully it seemed
in the exertion, in token OF recognition
of his friends. He was escorted to his
carriage between the throng, which
made a causeway for him and his
grief overwhelmed wife, and with
barred heads and silence the crowd
saw him enter the vehicle and be
driven away to his home. The sight
was the most solemn and impressive
that Atlanta perhaps wei witnessed,
and if the earnest prayers Of the
people will avail, Senator Hill has
not come home to die.

The Little Rock Gazette, now own
ed and published by Colonel J. N.
Smithee and Major Charles G. New
man, in its issue of the 10Th, contains
the following sensible remarks:
The Pine Bluff Press Eagle seems
to be troubled because the Gazette
does not keep up a lot Of paid CORES
pondents, and publish. at a heavy ex-
pense. special kilograms announcing
that Tom Jones or Dick Smith stump
elk his toe down in Texas, and got a
severe fall. We can say to our con
temporary that we have had all the
experience we want in paying for the
privilege Of publishing a newspaper.
The Gazette is being conducted fol
the purpose of making money. And
whenever VIC find that a nine column
paper won't pay we shall reduce The
size to eight columns. If that dom
pay, the size will be still further re,
duced fit will pay to print ten col.
umns, or eight pages, or twenty foul
pages, we shall print them. When i
will pay to employ special correspon
dents and pay out large telegraph toll
we will do so. Tie present proprie
tors are running the Gazette simpl,
and solely as a business enterprise
We have had all the glory we want.

There is one matter connected with
the coming convention to which VIC
desire to call the special attention o.
delegates, and that is the part which
railroads have of late years been play.
ing In u conventions. They always
have trusted friends and attorneys in
almost every county who procure just
such delegates as they think can 60, and
shame on many men who are appoint.
cd as delegates, they will sell them
selves and their people for the priv.
ilcge Of taking a trip to Nashville.
We hope that the railroads in this
fight will hands off," or. if they con
clude to go into the free pass business,
we hope they will give passes to dele
gates alike.
The proper plan to be pursued would
be to give excursion rates, or if free
passes are given at all, let them b.
given to all delegates who show q
proper certificate from the secretaries
that they are delegates.

In the case Of Murphy VS.. the State,
the Supreme Court has rendered a
decision declaring the Act Of 1881 ,ch.
l22, entitled IAN Act prescribing a
made by which municipal corporations
may surrender or abolish their char
tiers" unconstitutional, because in vio-
lation Of the constitution, Art. 2, s.
II, it contains provisions for amen
ding the charters of municipal corpo-
ratiOns in addition to those for abol-
ishing the charters Of such corpora
tions.
The case came up from Decatur
county. The decision affects all towns
in the State that have surrendered
their charters, except those operating
under special acts. 1t puts a host Of
towns back under the old charters and
municipal governments, indeed, all
that have net operated under special
laws in their special cases. Memphis
and possibly Brownsville are the only
towns, we believe, that escape, they
having procured special acts. Anoth.
err effect of the decision is to legaliEt
the license and sale of whisky il
towns that closed out the liquor deal
ers by surrendering their charters anC
coming within the "four-mile law"

about the old CITY Debt.

Section 3 Of the act to provide for
the settlement Of the Indebtedness Of
the cx met municipality of the city
of Memphis, passed by the last Leg
islature provides for a Liquidating
Board, consisting ofthree commission
ers. to carry out the objects Of the act
They are to gire bond of $4,000
each. The act provides that each OF
said commissioners shall receive as
compensation for his services the sum
of $500, to be paid out Of said special
tax. They shall also have a Secretary,
whose salary shall not be exceeding
$500 per annum, to be paid in like
manner" etc. The appointments
made were very good. The Governor
named j. R. Goodwin, W. f. Dix aud
~. Duffy, Commissioners; and they
elected General W. j. Smith Secre-
tary, and fixed aud allowed him a sala-
~ at the utmost limit, $500. General
Smith isquite competent for the work,
ifthere were any to do, which there is
not except to draw his salary. No
funding is going on, but salaries are
going on all the same, 1t is the law, and
the gentlemen drawing the pay are as
much entitled to it as they would be
to four dollars a day and mileage if
they we're members of the Legislature.
In neither case is there any law re
curing a man to earn his pay. That
rule would have broken up a quorum
in the last Legislature at any time.
But we refer to the fact to show the
people that their money is being frit-
tered away to sustain this so,oalled
L~iquidatiug Board and for other use
less purposes, while the debt of the
old city is increasing at the rate OF
from 5000, 900 to $4,000 0 per annum.
The new government may never have
to assume it; some L~iquidating Beard
may be vested with sufficient power
aud discretion to settle it but it has
to be settled sooner or later, and the
taxes will be levied upon Gpd collect
ed from the people and the property
within the corporate limits of the
ancient city of Memphis. We may be
some other fellow or body polite. in a
municipal sense. The Taxing District
may prove an alibi as to the sin of ut
tering the old city debt, but the sins Of
the fathers are often visited upon the
chill dren, ever unto the third and
fourth generation. The Taxing Dis.
triet is the first child of the old city,
and it will be considered o wise child
fit knows its own father and coDpro.
misses the old mans debts. Really
and seriously, it is an important mat
ter that we get this question out Of
politics. so to speak, and proclaim to
the world that the new firm will CON
tinue business, Wholesale and retail, at
the same old stand.
