After all in real seriousness what
difference does it make every thing
else being equal, who teaches since
the pupil is correctly taught? Or
what power has the color of mans
skin to change facts in the process
of instructing? Principles and
facts--or principles, as facts form
the foundation for correct teaching !,
and oil correct teaching in it's last
analysis consists in training of the
Judgment, and not the skin. Until
it can be shown that there is such n
vital connection between the skin
and the brain so that the color OF
the former affects the quality of the
latter, faVorably if white, nnfavor-
ably il black--we must forever
recognize this popular sentimental
ism which came to the surface this
summer, and that too in the halls
of legislation, as precocious, un-
Matched conception incubating in
the brain of some man who wont
believe he is crazy. Such in
cidents, as the one mentioned, are
refreshing and hopeful to those " no

considered means Il gr eat deal.
