The legislature for several days has been
giving its ate ition to educational matters.
Senator Bradwel's bill. exte ding the term
OF the common school system t. six months,
II the school funds are sufficient, and de-
fl ing the duties of the school officers, is a
very good one It passed the Senate a day
or two ago. There is not much reason to
doubt that it will pass the House 1t may
be amended in some respects, Dut it is not
probable that it will be changed great
deal
The debate in the House on D. Feltons
bill is an interesting one. The bill makes a
large appropriation for higher education.
The doctor takes the ground that education
should begin at tine top-that is, that the
colleges ard universities should
be aided because, before there can
be any general and successful ed
ucatlon of the masses. the higher institu-
tio"s of learning must create an interest in
intellectual pursuits. There are a good
ma Y who agree with him, but the prevail
ing sentiment in the House appears to be
that the higher institutions of learning
should take care of Themselves, at least until
there is such system of common schools
as will afford every child in the state
chance to get an acquaintance with the
rudlments OF an English education.
There is no doubt that the true policy for
the state is to give every liar it can spare
for educational purposes to the common
schools. The common schools ought to be
open nine mo tbs in the year, and the time
is coming when the people will not be salts
fed unless they are open that long. They
should also be provided with first-class
teachers. and the scho / houses should be
made comfortable and attractive. 1t is
highly important that every boy and girl
in Georgia should have the opportunity to
learn to read and write and to becom
acquainted with the principles of grammar
and arithmetic.
The great majority of Georgians would
like TO see thu state university in a much
more prosperous condition, but the state is
zoo poor to give it much more help than it
does. The young men who seek an educa-
ton within its walls can afford, in most in
stances, to pay tuition fee, and pretty
large one. From tut iol fees rough could
be raj ed to establish several more pro.
fessorships. The denomuatio lal colleges
in the state charge a tuition fee. a d the,
are not wanting in stud ats. No, the uni
verslty must be built up at the expense
OF the common schools. Com oaratively few
young men attend the university. There
are hundreds of thousands of boys and girls
who attend the commo schools. The states
first duty is to the common schools.

When the war broke out Gen. Robert c.
Schenck had been so long in public life and
away from Ohio that he didn't know even by
sight half of the numerous nephews who we're
the sons of his half dozen brothers. He was an
pointed brigade general, and it so happened
that one of the regiments assigned to his brig
ad over in Virginia was the second Ohio, com
manded by Col. Alexander Mcdowell McCook.
Several OF the conn q Mes of this regim mt were
raised in and around Dayton, where the
SchenckS lived in Swarms; and, as the family
was loyal all through, there was goody mum
F of that regiment. 1t SO happened that the
Schenck contingent in the regiment WIS
thoroughly imbued with a love of fun, and
when any mischief was afoot the Schencks
were sure to have hand in it; if a party was
hauled up for discipline one or more schencks
were sure to be of the number The fact was
very annoying to the general, as might have
been expected, and did not try TO conceal
his annoyance. While the brigade lay near
Fairfax Court House strict orders agai lst for
agin were issued; believe it was even threat
ened to have foragerS Shot One morning a
party of five foragers captpred the ngut before

afraid that you might be one of those blank
Scnencks.'
Whats your name?" he inquired of the
next.
The youth looked the general straight in the
eye and answered cheerfully: why, general,
I'm one of those blank Schencks."
The officers standing by did not try to restrain
their boistrous mirth, while Gen. Schencll
glared furiousy at the unabasaed Buckeye
youngster. In moment he shouted to the Off
Ger OF the guard:
