There Is no institution in tie West
so delightfully."- situated rand so admir-
ably adapted to the needs of young Ia
dies seeking a refined and solid educa-
ton as the Convent ofthe Ursuline Sis
ters, formerly known as 1.-THE Arcadia
College," It is the largest educational
establishment south Of st. Louis. For
thirty years the old building was used
as high school, and a great many of
those who attended and were graduated
are now filling positions of honor. A
portion of the Ursuline Sisters from st.
Louis, whose reputation as instructors
is known throughout the United States,
purchased the two college buildings
and the ground surrounding, finishing
the new and incomplete testructure, four
stories, with mansard roof, at an out
lay of over twenty-five thousand dol
lars. The principal street in Arcadia
terminates at the grand entrance to the
grounds; entering, there is a carriage
drive of over five hundred feet to the
front door, with foot path on each
side. A view of the entire valley, in
Guiding the City of Ironton and a part
of Pilot Knob. may be had from the
portico in front of the building, while
in summe.' a delicious perfume ascends
from the many flower gardens. The
college has been furnished for ladies'
boarding school, and has every mod
ern convenience; fire escapes, bath
rooms and closets on every floor; a
magnificent hall with 8 seating capac-
ity for six hundred persons, supplies
an excellent means of straining young

Our Schools.

We have seen t1t the American
that none bnt AMERICANS can carry il
out. And so varied and important are
the interests of the work, that even
every American is not born school
teacher. The peculiarities of times
must modify the work of teaching.
Conservatism has spoken or rather
showed its hand in the acts and utter
ances of the Republican Party in con-
vention assembled, and of the various
ecclesiastical courts of last resort. We
must now wait until the Radicalism of
at Chicago in July has issued its pro-
nunciamento. But any rejecting man
who has read of or witnessed the pro-
ceedings OF the Church courts or who
was at Chicago, ILL.,, on the 5th, or at
Ironton, Mo-, on the 14th of June, 1884,
will see that iD vain is salvation look
ed for from the hills, and he will be
willing to let the dead bury their dead.
But our Common School System arises
behind all ecclesiasticism and political
partisanship, and underruns and wrecks
both sects and political parties, and.
consequently, the more corrupt sect
or political party is, the more it tries
to control the common school so as to
neutralize its power.
From the beginning of the world UNI
til now there has been incessant war
between God and Satan, Ahriman and
Ormuzd, Light and Darkness, Knowl-
edge and Ignorance. And yet, in spite
of all these changes of names, there
have only been two interests, and, con-
sequently, two parties.
Education commands the armies of
knowledge, which are the armies of
God. In this war, on both sides, ideas
supplant iron, steel, lead and gun
powder. Knowledge is not only Pow
er, but Progress, SO that our Common
School System is elastic, and the meas
ure for its administration is the attain
ments of its subjects. 1t takes hold of
people as it finds them, and seeks to
make them better.
The history of our Common School
System has an interesting relation to
the historyof our country in connex-
ion with Voluntary Associations. Ear
ly in the present century, associations
were formed outside of both the Church
and the State, for the purpose of re-
forming abuses in both. 1t was oharg-
ed that the State had failed to provide
for the interests of the people, and its
own safety and that the Church was
false to its trust; that is, there were
Pessimists then, as now. The State
plead guilty, and established Common
Schools as an atonement. The Church
plead guilty. and set up Sabbath
schools to remedy the wrong of her
negligence.
The State proposed to carry out the
doctrine of sufficient grace by enabling
her subjects to meet any emergency,
by qualifying them to think for them
selves correctly and promptly on all
subjects, thus carrying out the great
Jeffersonian idea that Hrror cannot
prevail If Truth is left to cAmbat 1t.

Such system cannot be carried out
fully until it has itself produced the
agents to do the work, so that its sac-
cess depends on its own faithfulness.
Accordingly, in order to the highest
success of Education, the teachers
should be the embodimsnts and ex-
ponents of the spirit of the System. In
, order to be this, what manner of men
must they be?
Whilst the idea is gladly cherished
that
"No mountains bar the human mind,
Nor seas divide the world of thought"
yet it might be judicious to be slow in
appointing to the work OF teaching in
our common schools men educated un-
der foreign sy stems.
The Constitution of the United States
rules out of the two highest National
positions all foreign-born subjects, how
ever eminent. Can they then consist
emily be empowered to educate those
that are to be our Presidents and Vice.
Presidents? We cannot expect man
educated abroad to understand our
no not understand it. Don Carlos of
Spain spent years in studying our
Common School System, and yet new
er grasped it.
Carl Schurz has been Secretary of the
Interior, and yet his articles on the
1.-The Problems of Education" show
that he knows less of our System, If
possible, than Don Carlos, who view
ed it from the stand point of the Latin
atoms, whilst Schurz saw it in Fog
land.
1t would be, at least, safe to try a
foreigner well before he teaches COM
mon school.
The legitimate product Of our Com
mon School System will be broad
rather than high man. Owing to
the unity of all true Science, average
scholarship wins, and thoroughness in
the elementary branches should espec-
tally be exacted.

than breadth in literary qualifications
in a teacher. The one will mo st like
ly accompany the other. True Edu-
cation widens the soul as well as de-
velops the brain. That q teacher
should save good moral character,
goes for the saying. It is a platitude.
And yet, after all, the question arises,
What is good moral character? Or
dinarily it is a combination of mega
tions. It does not lie nor steal nor
swear nor get drunk. All these may
be true of a teacher, and yet he may
not have good moral character. A
good moral character has vim. It is q
moral force on the side of the right.
1t is combative and aggressive, from
the very nature of the case. 1t does
not wait to be attacked: it assails. The
Great Commission was Go Do. not
wait until they come; for they will new
er do that. Collisions will arise, but
let the responsibility for them rest
with those who oppose the right. Nine
times out OF ten. the fault is in the
district.

Tammany i'm the convention.

Nothing SO rolled and antagonized
the Western delegates as the Tam
| many opposition. The fact that there
was objection to Mr.. Cleveland in 9TH
er quarters than New York city had
been covered over and completely lost
sight of by the Submission of the
Brooklyn boss and of recalcitrant coun-
try delegates to Manning, and the
whole of the hostility to Gov. Cleve-
land inside off the New. York delega-
ton apparently came from Tammany,
and from Tammany alone. "We're
sick of your Internal squabbles," said
the outsiders. "Down with Tammanv!
It's always kicking and boiling. 1t
raises the mischief in New York. 1t
presumes to do the same thing when
it crosses the borders of its State and
comes into a national Convention.
the New Workers aren't. Nominate
Cleveland, and wipe out the intolera-
BILE nuisance
This feeling was rampant within the
borders of the delegation, aud outside,
among the fifteen or twenty thousand
people who theoretically came to listen
to the proceedings, but practically
seemed to be there to direct them, ii
was as strong again. If, when the
Convention was trying to howl down
the TammaDy speakers, the galleries
could have been turned loose on John
Kelly and his allies, even the silent
Travers and the modest Belmont
would have paid dearly for their te-
merity in venturing into the Conven-
ton in support of their judgment and
preferences. Instead of anything to
beat Cleveland. the cry became any
thing to beat Kelly, and the Boss was
buried under the wrath of the infuria-
ted and impatient Hoosiers. In one
most important respect also the Tam
many forces were lamentably unfortu-
nate. This was in their speakers.
With the exception Of a few remarks
by John Kelly, all the protests from
New York against the nomination of
Grover Cleveland were presented by
Bourke Cochran and Tom Grady, and,
with all recognition of the formers
ability, two more injudicious selections
could not have been made. Cochran
shows considerable force and speaks
with clearness and power, but he has
been described as possessing that PEE
culiar faculty of putting his foot In It
when lie opens his mouth, az was ex-
by his handling of the unit
rule. Grady is altogether bad. He Is
one of John Kelly's pets, and has teen
pushed forward to a position from
which he mustinevitably fall when left
to his own resources. He is truly q
fat-witted fellow, of loud voice, but of
nearly inaudible speech. of inflated
pretentions as an orator; but his oratory |
Is of the worst and most objectionablel |
sort. Added to this, his appearance is |
as unattractivs andsas little calculated
to win the confidence a. his hearers as
can well be imagined. Far better

tnerft against Cleveland. with the ex-
Of one speech ih Of fa Coekran had
John Kelly. The burden of the oppe-
sition to Cleveland was put entirely
upon the shoulders of Mr.. Kelly, and
he sank under it. Whether he was
