Why 1t Supports GrOut.
Gen. Grout has been an honest
Woodworking, painstaking represent
ative of the voters of the Second
district He has been vigilant and
sleepless in looking after their in
terests. His course upon all public
questions has been such as to reflect
great credit upon the state of Yer
mont. He has a much larger and
broader influence in Congress than
any new man could have. He is q
good man to tie to- The Second
district cannot afford to lose the
services of Gen. Grout in Congress;
and as we believe his reelection will
be for the greatest public good, the
Herald will continue to give the
General its most cordial support

From the Rev. w. S. Smithers.

NJ. E. PARSONAGE, June Z, 1889.
Gent1emen-After comparing the Britanni-
ca Encyclopedia with Johnson's l have de
cided to exchange. l have not felt satisfied
for some time. 1t did not prove to be what
| expected nor what l needed most, Doubt
less in some respects it is more exhaustive
than any other yet it is often found very de
ficient. 1t is un-American. Topics on which
we wish to consult it frequently not
treated at all. Often in the mass OF material
it is almost impossible to find just what is
wanted. The work is cumbersome. 1t is
not well adapted to everyday use. My Bri-
tannica cost me 81 A, while the Johnson's
sells for but little more than One-third. But
the value of such work is not to be reckoned
in dollars and cents but in its utility. | feel
that | shall never regret the change,
though at such an apparent sacrifice.
Yours very truly, w 5. SMITHERS-

Dear Sir-It gives me much pleasure to add
my testimony to what you already have re
speeding the utility and benefit of Johnson's
Universal CVclopedia. l have had mine but
a few months, but find that l have used it
more and to far better advantage than did
my Britannica i'll all the four five years
owned it. Among the many points in its
favor may mention two: 1t is very practi-
cal, and the arrangement of the topics With
cross references enables one to get a the fact
at once and thus gives directions for further
research 1t is recent we'll written and, to
me, invaluable. | think it is sufficient praise
to state that exchange the Britannica even
and consider that made good trade.

What Shall Public Schools Teach.

The general drift .of sentiment
in most Of the ablest articles cons
tributed to the Forum in answer 10
the question, "What shall the
public schools teach?' is III the IL
reciion Of having them made more
industrial and less academic. Both
President Elliot, for example, and
Professor Boyesen strongly insist
that our system viii have soon to
he remodeled, if our coming mon
and women are to hold their own
in the race with Eur peaDs, par
ticularIy with Germany and
France. The industrial de elor,
ment in the school training of these
two countries in the way Of the
adaptation Of pupils work to the
popular needs are beyond the be-
lief Of an American who has not
seen it. A boy, for example, ola
mechanical bias, in a German
school, would be able at the
age of fifteen when he leaves
school 10 earn a comfortable living
as carpenter or cabinet maker,
and would know quite as much of
book learning as an American boy
OF the same age, over and above.
Germany leads the way in Indus,
trial education, with France and
Italy second, and England a poor
but rapidly advancing fourth.
America is "nowhere'-a position
not extremely fattcring t" th.
national vanity, but, in the Ian,
guage OF the street gamin, she will

Primary Elections.

Here in Georgia and in other
Southern States largely under the
role Of personal politicts, primary
elections sie highly Important.
Indeed they may be looked upon
as more impcrtant than regular
elections, for nomination at a
primary elections is equivalent to
an election.
No matter how candidate may
acquire his election, no matter how
unfit be may be for the discharge
of official duties, il he can succeed
in attaching a majority to his name
in a primary election, everybody
IL expected to support him at the
election, or take the chance OF be-
ing read out Of the Democratic
party, and OF being called Re
publican.
Such have been the frauds and
outrages perpetrated in primary
elections, that in some Of the Nor~
thern States the law has been com,
PEELED to look into the matter to
preserve and protect the purity of
ballot. Pennsylvania and other
Northern States have statutes
providing for the punishment Of
illegal voting at primary elections,
Can any ore give a good and
sufficient reason why the people of
Georgia should not enjoy similar
protection? Is it not of the high
est importance here, where mer
are quick and earnest in their de.
nunciations of negro voters, auC
are just as quick and ready t,
avail themselves of this support t.
crafty and further their am
billions and aspirations?

abroad in tie land.
