Prof. Mangum, Of the University,
expresses grave doubts of the wisdom
Of importing Northern methods in our
schools. He says in the Star: I do
not wish to say much on this subject, at
present, but | am willing to go on re-
cord a. honestly distrusting much that
is eXtrlvagantly praised. The friends
of true and wise education Will DO well
to look thoughtfully into the methods
that are urged BY Northern teachers
upon our common school and graded
school teachers. There is good reason
to fear evil consequences when the sys-
TEN Of Massachusetts IS brought down
Gnmaditled and substituted .cg every
thing good or bad that has heretofore
been known among US"
"A merchant in Mississippi who
formerly lived in North Carolina, has
written to us to enquire fora Young man
to act as clerk, and (in the absence OF
the p.oprietorl as manager Of a store
a General Merchandise Store such as are
conducted in country towns of 500 IN
habitants. Il a get plenty Of help
he writes, ''but it is not the right sort.
Agreat deal of whisky is drank in this
egion, and though l don't %sellit, orr use
it, nearly all the young clerks succumb
to the social glass; and then comes
trouble! If you can get me the right
ind of man,-honest, sober, willing TO
work,-a young man who aims to be-
come a business man, I will pay him
good wages but if you can't endorse
him on these points ! don't want him
as a gift!"
This sounds like a temperance lesson;
but, my young friends, it is b~aldheadeo
reality and the simple fact that a mer'
chant sends six hundred miles in search
Of a strictly sober, tr~uSt-p0rthy, hart
~r0rkiag young man to take > good stu
alton shows that men Of that class are
rarely out of employment.
