~hould be found to talk to US about
making "the free school system au 10
Urinary and "sn asylum for men and
women out of a job looks to us like
adding insult to injury"
But says our contemporary: ''Let
us have fewer or better schools. y
Very well, let US see what that means.
There are 5000 teachers to l34 900
pupils, which is some AZ scholars to
ach teacher. Does it appear that
his is too little work for teacher
having to teach all classes and ages of
children situated as most of our coun-
Try teachers are? But suppose the
scheme was arranged for au average Of
81 scholars to each teacher, so as to
allow 1884 a year as the average
teachers salary. 1t is difficult now
in our sparsely settled area to get 40
scholars sufficiently near a given
school centre to admit of their attend
auce. What if that school area had
to be enlarged to double its present
size? Do we not see that the chill,
dren in very many cases could not
reach the school houses? This is the
troublesome educational problem 10
our agricultural districts throughout
the South.
DR.. Newell, the Superintendent of
Education of Maryland, who has
been in Office for sixteen years, aod
who gets a salary of $4,000 year in
cash with house to live in, fue! and
lights furnished, with all bis travel
ing expenses paid, admits that he has
not been able to bring up the school
system out of the cities and towns to
, high state of efficiency. Now,
Maryland had population 10 1880 OF
934,943 to an area of 1920 square
,piles, or over rs inhabitants to
the square mile. South Carolina had
in 1880 q population of 995,577 to
au area of 30,57O square miles, or
something over 32 Inhabitants to the
square mile. It is thus seen that the
difficulty of sparseuess of population
to area in our problem Of free educa-
tion is 81 times greater than that of
Maryland The only solution of the
question possible with US is to put
u,ore money alongside Of the iudiVid-
ual pupil in order TO secure better
grade of instruction than We can now
get. How is this to be got? Only
in two ways. One by increasing the
taxation so as to meet the necessities
of tie case. The other to shape the
law so as to require each school dis
trict or community to supplement
by private contribution a certain per-
ceotage eff the school fund to which
it would be entitled according to the
children in attendance. Make this
rule run to suit the necessities of the
case so as not to inaict starveling
teacher on the helpless children.
Of course objections can be made
against this latter proposition. But
it seems to US plain that people who
find resort to given school ought to
be willing to do something to make it
a shift. There are other matters With
which our contemporaries most sug-
gestive article deals, the considera-
tion Of which, owing to the length of
the present article, We must postpone
for the present, but we will take them
up tomorrow, for We feel much in
debted to our contemporary for cbal-
lepging popular attention to this great
school question, which is and must be
for all time the very cornerstone of
our we'll being.

The Neps and Courier says {:
"Gen. Capers had consented to ac-
cept the nomination, with the un-
derstanding that if after the elec-
ton and upon Investigation he
found that the duties of the Office
were incompatible with his clerical
duties, be should be at liberty to
resign the Office to the Legislature. "
Such having been the secret un-
derstanding, and the people believ-
ing that Gen. Capers was running
in good faith, his withdrawal came
none too soon. Such an agreement
reflects no credit on either Gen. Ca
pers or the State Executive Com
mittee.-

and Robert Toombs, then Senator of

do medical practice. Mr.. Stephens
told his client that the physician had

left to do was to pay it. No. said

case, aud now speak
Mr.. Stephens told him there was
nothing to say ; he had looked on to
see that it was made out, and it
was.
Peter was obstinate. and at last
Mr.. Stephens told him to make a
speech himself, if be thought one
could be made.

The Anderson MteLllgeacer says
I'm a few years the University will
be the equal of any in the United
States" Upon what does the In
tslZigencer base such an extraordi
nary prediction?
The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1882-09-07
A Prediction

By far the largest portion OF the
citizens of this State are farmers,
and they pay most of the taxes yet
we venture the prediction that out
of the sixty.eight beneficiary cadets
to be supported and educated from
the taxes Of the people not one
third of them will be farmers sons.
There are several reasons for this.
One reason is that farmers boys
have not the same chance in apply
ing for cadetships. The farmers
property is visible and tangible: it
appears upon the Auditors books !;
it is land, and is his sole capital
and the source Of his entire income.
A farmer might send down to the
Board of Visitors petition asking
that his son be allowed to appear
for examination as beneficiary,
accompanying the petition with the
statement that he was unable to
educate his son from his own means.
Along with this petition and this
statement might go the certificate
of the Auditor that this farmer
owns two or three hundred acres of
land, and the certificate of the Clerk
and Sheriff that there are no mort
cages or judgments against the
land. The Board would, very likely,
refuse the petition. But a profes
sional man with little or no visible
taxable property might be making
great deal more money than the
farmer and be more able to educate
his son. The son of the professional
man wouldsfnd no difficulty in ap.
plying to be examined. Another
reason is that farmers sons between
the ages OF fifteen and nineteen
have not had as many advantages
as boys about town, and are there
fore not as fully posted and not as
we'll informed. They cannot, there
fore, so readily answer the questions
that are asked by the examiners
not from any inferiority Of intellect;
but because, if he is poor boy
land that is the kind that it is pre-.
tended are to be benefted) he has
not had access to as good schools
as the town boy has has not seen
as much of the world, and has not
picked mp as much information.
Everybody who knows anything
about boys knows that what a boy
knows at sixteen or seventeen years
of age is Of very little consequence !;
but everything depends upon what
there is in the boy awaiting devel-
opment. The "smart boy" very
often develops in a few years into
q perfect stupe and a no-account,
while the uncouth, ungainly and
unsophisticated country boy when
given a fair chance almost invariably
rises in the world and makes man
of himself.
But we only intended to make a
prediction. Wait and see if it be
not fulfilled. We are only stating
facts; not complaining about them.

DER School Fund and What 1t is
Accomplishing.

We publish in another column an
article frou our estluable contenpo-
fsry, the Newberry HERALD, on the
subject of "Our Free Education" We
know the even tenor and steady pur-
pose of our contemporary too we'll to
suppose for moment that its timely
reflections are made in spirit Of fault
finding on for the purpose of antago-
nizing the cause of popular education.
Quite to- the contrary. We under
stand our contemporary to desire the
use and application Of the educational
fund for which the people are taxed
20 as to give dollars worth for dollars
in educational advantages afforded the
public to the last cent of the fund
raised out of the peoples pockets:
This is right. There is no sort OF
sense in wasting q half milllop of the
peoples money for tho mere name OF
the thing.
And here we can say with empha-
sis shat there is nobody who has been
more eaaestly impressed With this
very thing than our enthusiastic,
diligept, hard-workiug and able Su-
per;ntendent of Education, whom the
people have seen 6t 10 put IN
nomination for Governor against his
expressed wish.
Now, we must judge Of a tree By
its fruit, it is true. But We must
keep in. mind at the same time what
chance the tree has had to bear fruit
before we condemn it. Have We
asdigged around and duuged it" so as
TO entitle US 10 lock for a large fruit
age? If we have set it out In an
old field and left it to be chokcd with
She weeds and dwarfed by neglect We
cannot complain of poor yield OF
fruit. ;,

fund is. Our contemporary states 1t

Death of Rev. Hugh Parks.

The Rev. Hugh Parks, after a some
what protracted illness, died at his late
residence west of st. ClairsYille, on Fri
day, the 9Th inst. The funeral 0bSeQuies
were deferred until Monday, when his
remains were brought to the .. 2.
Church of this place, where a large and
interested congregation had assembled
for the funeral services, which were di-
rected by the Rev. Thomas Balph, d. ID.
After the singing of the 18th to 14th
verses, inclusive, of the 103d Ps., the
Rev. John Moore, of the NJ. E. Church,
pronounced an earnest and impressive
prayer The Goth Ps. was read as the
scripture lesson, by Rev. VIM. Mofat,
after which DR.. Balph made brief ad-
dress, in which he gave the following
biography of the deceased: He was born
January 30, 1908, in Belmont county,
Ohio; was graduated at Jefferson Col
lege, in 1925, and studied theology at
Allegheny; was licensed May 26, by
the Second Presbytery of Ohio, and WAS
ordained April 26. 1882, by the same; in
April, 1882, he was installed pastor of
the Yellow Creek and st. Clairsville
congregations, and in 1887 resigned Yel-
low Greek. and accepted Moorefeld. In
1889 he resigned st. Clairsville, and
in 1856, Moorefeld; from 1856 to 1861, he
preached at Buchanan Hill, and since
that time has been without charge,
but supplied various places until 1S77-
preaching his last sermon in the U. P.
pulpit in st. Clairsville. The Revs. Mof-
fat and J. Y. Ashenhurst, of the U. 2.
Church. also made some appropriate
and feeling remarks, when the Rev. S.
f. Minor, of the M. E. Church, offered
short prayer. Religious exercises were
concluded by the singing of the 4th to
7th verses of the 99th Ps., after which
the remains were viewed by those pres
enf. The six eldest members of the ses-
sion of the q. P. congregation of st.
Clairsville, acted as pall-bearers-the
corpse was removed to the hearse, and
all that was mortal of the Rev. Hugh
Parks, was followed by friends to the
Union cemetery, where the interment
took place
