ment. Teachers have been faithful |
and the one thing now lacking is the
hearty cooperation of parents and
school teachers. Compulsory educa-
ton is condemned as unnecessary and
foreign to the spirit of our institutions.
The old idea of q normal school for
teachers is again urged nOtwithstand-
ing the defeat of bill for the same
pupose at the last session. During the
past year 493 candidates for teachers
have been examined, 396 have secured
certificates and 81 were rejected.
The report calls attention to the fact
that some radical reform is necessary
in the assessment and collection of
taxes for school purposes. In Sussex
county, for instance, the average length
of time for which the schools are kept
open is about five and one-ffth months
in each year and some of them will not
run more than three and one-half
months. This state Of affairs is due to
the fact that the voters of the various
districts set the amount to be raised for
school purposes and through ignorance
of what is needed this is often much
less than is needed. To remedy this
Mr.. Groves recommends that each
district be required to raise an amount
at least equal to that furnished by the
State, and the duty of levying and col.
lecting this tax should devolve upon
the Levy Court or a Board of School
Directors to be elected by the people O
each county.
The report is accompanied by q
statistical summary, from which thesC
/. interesting facts are gathered: Ther'
are 404 districts and 515 schools in th'
. State, a decrease of one school owe
1880. The total value of the schoo
: buildings is $34O, ,515; of school ground
o $76,50O; of furniture, $780, ,259; a tota
# of $453, PA; an increase over the valua
n ton in 1880 Of $12, ,46S.

A Tennessee dog crows like roos-

this story is vouched for by local
clergyman" We have seen the names
of local clergymen attached to so many
unsolicited testimonials in quack adj

for doubling that this dog crows like q
rooster or crows at all or indeed thai
there are any dogs in Tennessee. One

The LEcTURE.-Owing to a rail-

reach here in time TO meet his en-
gsgement for Tuesday evening. He
came up Wednesday morning, how
ever, and met splendid audience il
Odd Fellows Opera House at s ,. M
He was introduced BY DR.. James NJ
Porter in few well chosen remarks
The L cture, "Some Mistakes Of Bob, !"
Was a revisw of Col. Ingersoll's lee
ture entitled Some Mistakes Of
Moses" and a reply to many state
ments in that remarkable effort. Col.
Copeland spoke over two hours in his
usual rapid style. His criticisms OF
skeptical assumptions and logic were
most telling and frequently iudicrous.
Tue doctrine of evoiu ion came in for
a share of the VOL deriul flow of satire
which marks his addresses. While
ventilating Col. Ingersolfs theories
with unsparipg Language, be express
ed equal di,like for the hypocrisies
and shsms which fflict the churches.
The Bible was defended with great
warmth. To it's influence he ascribed
all the brilliant achievements of the
race in the moral aud material world.
Flowers of rhetoric bloomed all along,
and ever and auon a word-picturs of
surprising radiance illuminated the
track Of his discourse. A pathetic
tribute to his angel mother brought
tears to some eyes. The general ex-
preston Of those who heard both eff
forts in this place favors the latter as
superior to the former. Each was

Templars, to whom his auditors are
