THE CITY SCHOOLS.
OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT !
OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION,
OctOher Afh 1892 1


Ihave been visiting the lola city
schools and fiud them in good condi-
ton. Teachers are enthusiastic, and
appear to be enjoying their work. Pu-
pills are generally studiOus, attentive
and energetic, determined to reap the
full benefit Of this term of school.
Permit me to suggest, through your
columns, that the patrons visit all the
rooms, and thus encourage both teach
er and pupil in their noble work. Let
US manifest full appreciation ofevery
effort on the part of the present corps
of teachers to make the school a sue
cess.
The rooms are mostly crowded, and
some are compelled to attend but halt
the time. That condition Of things
ought not to exist. Your district must
of necessity provide more seating ca
pacity, and that can only be done by
erecting q new school building.

County Sup't.

Melton G Co.

Benjamin Brewster has determin-
ed to convert the once honored
offiee of Attorney General into an
engine of oppression. The politi-
cal prosecutions have begun in
South Carolina with zeal and
shamelessness, that will not stop
short of convictions, if convictions
can by any possibility be procured.
In April, the disgraceful scenes of
last year will be re-enacted in the
United States Court. There will be
the partisan Judge and the corrupt
prosecutors; the packed juries and
the perjured witnesses. The fami-
liar figure of Dallas Sanders will be
absent; other tools have been pro-
cured. Melton is to be assisted by
Willard, and Mr.. Snyder from
Yankeedom. Melton and Willard
are the fit minions of q corrupt
government; Snyder is paid tool
to do dirty work. Who is Snyder? ?
What does Snyder feel or care for
Southern liberty and Southern
civilization ? What does Snyder
care when he sees justice mocked
and civil liberty trampled under
foot What does Snyder care
when he sees the Southern white
man hurried to prison for protecting
his home and freside. What does
Melton care, or Willard care ?
Snyder works for the approval of
his captain in iniquity. Snyder gets
money for his dirty work. That's
what's the matter with Snyder"
But these henchmen of Brewster
viii get no verdict at the hands of
jury on which is a single worthy
Carolinian.
Hear what the sanity Melton
says:
SAT the November term Judge
Bond directed the United States
district attorney to arrange the
criminal business of the April term
so as to allow attention 10 be given
first to civil business. / don't know
how much time may be necessary
for this purpose, l now suppose
that it viii take the better part of
two weeks, and the criminal trials
viii probably not be brought on
before the middle of the month. 1

can say, as it seems to be 8 matter

those arising from the Congressional

The New .Ren,etly.

In the general discussion lately
called forth by the numerous defal-
cations in the country, some one
suggested that the people should
be directly responsible, and that
the lar requiring official bonds
should be abolished. This new
remedy has one merit, and only
one-its novelty. The voice that
calls for it, like the voice of one
crying in the wilderness, is not
likely to be needed; it is not the
voice of the people, any more than
the proclamation issued by the
three fish mongers of Grub Street
was the proclamation of the people
of England. The change is called
for, and like the "spirits of the vasty
deep" it will come at the proper
time, but that time is not yet.
As a matter of curiosity, we
should like to know whether those
who think that official bonds should
not be required, are in favor Of the
payment of security debts; and
whether they would be generous
enough to let an estate in which
they have an interest, go into the
hands of an administrator, without
requiring him to give bond for the
faithful performance ofhis duties.
The law requiring those who ham
die the moneys of others to give
bond is both reasonable and just,
and it is too firmly established to
be easily changed. Those who adj
yocate this change, and we sup
pose they do SO sincerely, seem to
forget the important truth that
County treasurers are not elected by
the people, but are the agents of
the Governor, handling the peoples
money. Even when the people
elect q public officer, what assur-
ance have we that he represents
the intelligence and property of the
country; the ignorant and the poor
are very often ON the side of the
majority. We are not willing to
say that the proposed change would
ever be wise, but we do most posi-
lively say that it should not take
place until public treasurers are
elected by the taxpayers of the
land. A man should not be requir-
ed to answer for loss, unless the
loss is caused by his authorized
agent.
But we need no new remedy.
We need a rigid enforcement
of the old. Let the people learn
to call things by their right names.
Let the present form of Indictment
be sent to the darkness from which
it came, and let US have a form that
sensible men can understand, and
which viii no longer be a loophole
for the escape of crime. Then let
the people. through their representa-
tives, the iaries, lay aside all senti-
ment, lag aside sympathy, and en-
force the laws without fear, without
favor, and without fiinching.

COLUMBIA, March 11.-At the

Il
The tendency of the ageis to get
cheap education. and to get it as
easily as possible. Our colleges
stand, hat in hand, like so many
mendicants, begging for aid. The
people demand education by the
State, but they unwisely demand
that they be allowed to control the
educators. They know what they
want, but they make the serious
mistake of supposing they know
the method by which it may be
most easily obtained. A writer on
the subject of public schools says:
aThe ordinary superintendent is q
grammar school teacher gone to
seed; or some retired clergyman or
local politician out of a Job! That
this should be SO, is certainly sim
gular." It is not at all singular; it
merely shows what every observant
man has perceived, that in public
elections the people are not con-
trolled by any special regard for
competency or fitness in the officer
elected. 1t merely shows that the
people should not elect school com.
missioners.
We heartily sympathize with the
average school commissioner, as We
always sympathize with any one
who is expected to do an important
work and has nothing TO do it with.
The law defines the duties of the
school commissioner with great
particularity; it not only tells what
he.is expected to do, but how he is
expected to do it. But after all, it
is very much like asking one to
raise the dead with a two-penny
whistle. or to erect a splendid struc-
ture with q nickel-and we are not
sure that this nickel hasn't a hole
through it.
Even if the school commissioner
had ample means, he would not
dare to do what the spirit of the
law requires. he is elected by the
people; nc is the servant of the
people; he represents the popular
will. We all know what that means.
The most capable and progressive
commissioner cannot go beyond the
limit of the enlightened understand
ing of the people. He cannot intro
duce measures that are not pleasing
to the people; or if he does he will
have the satisfaction of being laid
on the shelf at the close of one
term. His methods must be such
as the people like; and unfortunate
ly-the people are not prepared to
judge wisely.
The school commissioner should
be Independent of the suffrage of
the people; in other words. he
should be appointed by the Gov
ernor. The most that he can do
now is to prepare the people for
improved methods by fostering and
encouraging public sentiment on the
subject. He should be leader of
enlightened sentiment. He should
be all energy and enthusiasm, and
try to infuse a new and higher life
into the free school system.
