Tobacco Plant Beds and Inse cts

An experienced tobicco farmer writes:

and but little trouble. Go and cut sas-

Educational Reform.

The Tenth Annual Report of
the Board Of Education of the
City of Jackson has been furnish
ed us by Thos. III. Paine who is
now serving his third term as SUI
perintendent of the Jackson City
Schools. Under the head OF
Comments of Superintendent we
find some new, but not necessarl-
ly startling, ideas on the subject
of Education, and especially on
the Qualifications of Teachers.
He says that while it is a necessa-
~ qualification, something more
than mere scholarship is necessa-
ry to constitute good teacher;
that there must be a power i'll the
teacher to breathe into the class
spirit of love of learning and
willingness to obey directions.
Such qualifications would make
teacher of high standard; but the
Superintendent confesses in the
next breath that just how to de-
termine this question of qualifica-
ton is somewhat difficult. And
we fully agree with him that the
ideal teacher is the one who has
industry, good manners, good adj
dress, good sense and broad cult.
ure; but we recognize the fact
that teachers of this standard are
scarce and command wages that
can only be paid by people who
are willing to be literally taxed.
On the subject of examinations
the Superintendent recommends,
and as we think correctly, that
examinations at stated times as a
means of determining whether or
not pupil shall be passed to a
higher grade, be abolished Oh the
ground that they do not serve the
purpose of testing scholarship,
but offer a reward in many cases
to Incidence and dishonesty, be-
. cause pupil knowing his promo
ton depends on the sum of his
averages made up from his exam
nation papers, may spend much
of his time in idleness and at the
examination copy the work of an
other and present a paper which,
though he has praciiced a fraud,
is on it's face entitled to a high
per cent. Instead of these exam
nations he recommends the keep
ing of a daily record of the work
of each pupil from which to de-
termine its fitness for promotion.
In our opinion this plan is good
one. Every pupil would then
know that his promotion would
not depend upon the number OF
questions answered correctly on
, one day but his work for each
. day would be counted either fol-
, or against him.
A revolution in the methods OF
!, teaching is now under way and
should be carried on with vigol
until no school would be recOg.
nized that does not have the ad.
, vancement of it's students more at
| heart than the accumulation OF
, wealth; and we know of no one
f who is better qualified to help in
, the work of reformation than
