To the Editor Of the Dispatch;
Dear Sir,--Noting in your weekly issue
Of the 18th instant the remarks Of the New
York Herald In regard 10 Governor Fi;zhugh
Lee, the trouble seems 10 be that General
Lee has entirely too much sense for the
Herald.
II seems that paper thought II would sound
A wag-worn, broken.dow barrel OF the Con-
federaey that would echo its sentiments.
But il got fooled. II found the Governor
knew much more about the negro problem
than the Herald. and that bis head was much
bigger than his belly.
Very respectfully.
IlUGH &. GUgERASq.

THE MEREDEN CREAMERY.

We announced briefly in our last
Issue the result Of Che meeting called
by the ADVOCATE 10 consider the feas-
ibility Of building creamery at this
place. The attendance was good CON

and much interest was manifested in
the project. The committee appoint
ed to make inquiry with regard to the
most approved machinery and esti-
mate the cost Of a first class creamery
are performing their duty we'll and
will be able to present an intelligent
and satisfactory report at tho next
meeting. In the mean time the com
mittee appointed to devise plans and
solicit stock will be able to make some
progress. The heavy rain of last
Saturday prevented the meeting Of
this committee which had been ap-
pointed for that day, but another APP
pOintment has been made for Monday
evening before the hour Of the peo-
ple's meeting. and the interest mani
tested in the success Of the project
warrants us in predicting that the de-
liberatiOns Of this committee viii not
be without good results. We hope 10

the fact that there are better methods

mirable, will not be Of much avail

mustnot stop short Of an earnest eff
fort TO have tho schools filed with the
best men and women in the commun-
ity. Certainly, in theory, every com
munity ought TO select the choicest
and highest Of their number TO guide
the destinios Of the children. 1t is Of
comparatively small importance who
are the physicians and ministers and
judges; the question that determines
tho whole character Of society is, who
arc the teaohersH No doubt il would
be ofsomo use TO raise tho salaries Of
teachers II in any case the present
salary seems too high, il is not tho
fault Of tho salary. AS q distinguish
ed gentleman lately remarked TO me,
The proper way is not TO lower tho
salaries TO the teachers,
but to raise tho teachers to the sal
aries. Nor do / refer merely to the
money salary. Money is not the only
wage for which men work, nor the
chief wage They work for honor,
for influence, for esteem in tho COM
munity, And these higher wagos
will belong to the teachers whenever
they are universally deserved. The
profession Of teaching ought TO DO 10
high and so honorable that IL would
be sought without regard to money
profit Till then we must expect TO
500 tho best talent 60 where it can
earn more money with a modicum Of
\ those higher wages besides. II is for
MS to do our utmost that the schools
may not have u man or woman for
teacher or for officer, who is not
worthy, in every, respect of the high
ost honor and esteem in the commun-
ity.--Froln an Address by the late

eyor. The architecture, the apparatus
the methods, the course OF study all
these arc OF no consequence compar-
ed with the question, who is tho man
in charge OF the schooll This is an
agoof machinery and of faith in MA
chinory. The genius OF the American
people is devoted 10 finding out new
ways Of doing old thinga Itisa time
OF wonderful contriyances and appE-
nnces. And now SO many surprising
results have been attained by ingenu-
ity in the method, that we are begin
ming toha q superstitious reliance
on ingenious methods. We have como
to think too much OF machinery, and
too little of men. Weare apt to for
get that il was in the realm Of mater
ial things that invention worked such
miracles. When it comes TO affairs
involving the work Of mind with mind
and character with character, the hui
man element is the all-important one.
In all the afairsof life, in govern
ment in education, there are no meth
ods that supersede tho necessity for
men. Indeed this is truer than peo-
pie think, in all matters. No amount
of new tools will build house well.
No perfection of modern improve
ments will fill it with peace. In ell
matters we are liable to the same mis-
take. We invent excellent govern
mental machinery but it all goes
wrong because we forgetto see about
themen. We build enormous tele-
scopes without any fit astronomer,
and meantime some trained observer
is making all the discoveries with his
imperfect glass.
1 say people become guperstitious
about appliances. They come TO think
that ingenious mechanism or methods
can supercede natural talent energy,
patient training, experience all those
human powers that alone can move
the stubborn world. The peddler
brings to your door patent drawing
apparatus, promising that with FIVE
minutes practice, the Clumsiest hand
shall make perfect pictures. The boy
believes that with his new pen
he will at once write a
beautiful hand, or he is de-
luded into thinking that the new sys-
tenn of mnemoniCs which the lecturer
taught is going to supercede memory
altogether. What is the need Of pay
ing q physician, when a little box Of
pills, with its book OF instructions, is
warranted to make tho most ignorant

hll thls hhe machinery would l0nd ue
TO expect What is tho matter
There is the elegant now school house
furnished with every ingenious piece
Of apparatus which the American mind
has yet elaborated; and there is the
olegantnew teacher, trained with the
utmost skill and celebrity by the most
rapid new methods, certified TO after
the most elaborate systom of modern
examinations, who dips his patent pen
in q patent inkstand, md keeps his
record in patent register, and has
all mannCr Of surprising methods OF
instruction and discipline,-and yet
the results are not, perhaps, perfect
insomuch that some ancient men, re-
memboring the old battered desk and
hacked benches Of their boyhood,
shake their heads and venture TO doubt
whether boys get n much better edu-
cation than they did in old times,
They are not always justified in their
doubt, but they are justified whenever
it is their good fortune TO remember
as presiding at that old battered desk
the vigorous mind and mellow heart
Of really good teacher.
Who would not be glad TO have sat
in ever so bare aroom under the plain
instruction Of Arnold, Of Rugbyl
Who would not like to have had a
winters schooling in the Puritan
house where Milton taught when he
returned, from his travels on the con-
tinent3 Perhaps we might not con-
slider it a hard fate to have learned
"small Latin and less Greek' at the
rusty old school-house O little out OF
Stratford, where Shakespeare is said
10 have taught school, ] Irepetit is tho
man that makes the school, notthe APP
paratus nor the methods. You can no
more prevent the mind and character
Of a large-souled man from irradiat-
ing and inspiring the little people on
whom they shine than you can put
out the sun. Nor can all the educa-
tional machinery, past, present and to
come, make anything Of a dull and
dishonest teacher but stupefying
poison to every child within hls reach.
The education is what the mind of
the teacher can do for the mind Of the
child; all else is accessory and unim-
portGnt We must come back from
our moorings after appliances and
methods, and remember this. We
have thought too little Of the men.
There is madness in our methods. 1t
is the mistake of young country that
has accomplished great material re-.
suits by its ingenuity, and has been
patted and praised for it by its neigh
bors. II is the mistake Of a time
whose proudest blossom is the in
dustrial exhibition. In Greece the
Olympic games were not for the com
petition Of sewing machines and
bonnet decorations, but Of men. The
truth simply is that tho material pro-
gress has absorbed the attention of
Che world. We gaze in admiration at
