My DEAR SIR: Yours Of the 25th
just received. You ask my opinion
of the system and advantages Of the
graded schools over the common
schools. | suppose you mean by the
common school, y school with one
teacher and all ages, from the pri-
mary 30 the highest classes. The
word "gradcd" applied to schools
means simply that all scholars Of
like proficiency arc put in the same
class, and is applicable to all good
schools, whether public or private.
The word graded is sometimes ap-
piled to large schools because from
the number attending, the grades can
be more perfectly made. The bcnc-
fit Of teaching scholars in one grade
is manifest, and it is needless for me
to speak Of it to q man Of your in.
tclligcnce. The great advantage Of
having graded teachers is the advant-
age which arises in all departments
Of work from division Of lauor, &c. g.)
4 tailor can make better coat than
scamstrcss, so young lady Of
eighteen can teach child how to
read better than DR.. Girarlcau, while
the Doctor could teach philosophy to
young men better than the young
lady can. This explains The whole
matter: In our large schools the
teachers are accommodated to the
scholars. The good done here by
our schools is incalculablc, the pro-
iicicncY Of the little children is re-
markablc, and never visit the school
but | am struck with wonder at tho
advantage Of the school here to that
Of old Mt. Zion, in Winnsboro, where
] was educated.
You cant get along in Ncwbcrry
without Il local tax OF 2 mills extra;
but with two years experience, the
people will be delighted. In great
haste, remain yours truly,
+. W. MCMASTER.
i. ST. am satisfied that women
make the best teachers of the Highest

principal TO do the thrcshing, &c.,

pic Of Columbia in the hrOadest an(!
most permanent sense. If the con.
ccption Of public schools. rs now
known to us, did not exist in their
day, it would be unjust 20 limit their
wise and liberal forcthouyht by the
defects Of their generation. The
germs orbencvo|cncc hy then, planted
should be nuturcd in thc brighter
sunlight Of modern progress; and We
best honor their memory and their
charity by making their gifts the
a"c|ci Of = larger development and
usefulness t!an they perhaps ever
conceived Of. Thus their bcncvo-
lcncc becomes immortal, and will
grow with the growth of the com.
munity they sought to bless; other.
wise, under the Irresistible expansion
Of ideas, it will soon expire by its
own limitations. In their name,
therefore. rs well as in our own, and
in their behalf rs wcli rs for the pco.
pie of Columbia, we present this
petition.
"Ali classes Of the community are
alike Interested in Che petition here
presented. We proposed to cstab-
lisl system Of public schools good
enough for the richest, cheap
enough for the poorest, of eur pco-
pie. There are no subjects now
taught in the best private school
which may not be included in our
public schools for the benefit Of all
not, as now, Of u few only. That
public schools admit of better ora.
dation, and therefore of better rs
well rs more economical instruction
than private schools, is an axiom that
needs no arguing. In the city Of
Knoxville, where have lately re.
sided, the actual cost per pupil is less
than $1,000 per session Of ten

WHEREIN Men AND WOMEN DIFF
FER.-When woman becomes fur
ried she feels for a fan; when a
man becomes hurried he feels for a
cigar
Women jump at conclusions and
generally hit; men reason things ont
logically and generally miss.
Some women can't pass MILL
merry store without looking in; some
men can't pass a saloon without go
ing in.
A woman never sees baby with
out wanting to run to it; man
never sees baby without wanting
to run away from it,
Women love admiration, approba-
ton, self-immolation on the part of
others, and are often weak, vain and
frivolous. Ditto men.
A woman always carries her purse
in her hand so that other women
will see it; a man carries his in his
inside pocket so that his wife wont

him to his feet for the purpose of
accompanying him to his home,
when he drew pistol and fired one
shot, which flew over the heads of
the gentlemen; second shot grazed

son of the late Robert Powell.
The drunken man not satisfied

struck Mr.. Powell in the right breast,
the bullet passing through the lung
and lodging in the muscles of the
