As we were urged by Elder f. T.
Pomeroy, our president, to hold as many
meetings as possible among the people,
we started out, resolved in our minds to
let none OF the grass OF idleness grow
under our feet while the Lord gave us
strength to work. AT FIRST our efforts
brought us but two meetings per week,
the three, then five and six; we are still
striving TO climb the ladder OF progress
Many OF our meetings are held in school
houses, and some in private dwellings
where we happen to be stopping. Many
are the invitations we receive to return
and hold meetings where we have been
entertained.
This country was considered the
bitterest we have opened in the state,
but by determined effort, blessed by the
spirit OF the Lord, we have succeeded
allaying much of the prejudice.
Last Saturday we entered the small
city Of Hickory, containing population
of about 300. We FIRST asked consent OF
the mayor to canvass the town. II was
RELY given. We then called on the
leading men, making friends oil them,
and holding as many Gospel conveisa.
tons as we could. We met with no
opposition. As there was no objection
on the part o. our Christian friends, we
secured their church and had not the
rain and wind interieTed we would have
held rousing meeting. We called at
the best hotel in town, told the proprie.
tor our mission and what our mode o.
travel was without purse or scrip. He
kindly invited us in and made us very
welcome. We called on the shoemaker
for repairs; this was furnished free,
voluntarily.
The next day, Sunday, was so stormy
we could hold no meetings, but Monday
opened up bright and lovely. Our
appointment for Monday night was circu'
lated, though few, our hearers were in
terested. We distributed among them
the Voice of Warning and tracts.
The people in the south are most hos
pitable and kind. 1t is pleasure to
work among them.
The Lord is opening up the way, en-
abling US to preach the Gospel without
purse or scrip. We feel much better,
and are meeting with much greater sue
cess since We nave striven TO carry out
the spirit constructions on this point. We
are prepared to testify that in the south
Elders can travel and preach the Gospel
depending upon the Lord Tor all things.
as the apostles OF old did. We wish the
young Elders at home could appreciate
their positions, and prepare for missions
such as this, for we know it is a school
of development, OF experience and
spiritual learning, and OF incalculable
value to us as Latter'd day Saints.

voting for protection on the Sea Island cotton
and rice OF South Carolina and Georgia, the
sugar Of Louisiana and the lumber Of other
States are not blind nor flying in the face Of
public sentiment. They know that various In

THE HIGH SCHOOL CONTROVERSY.

At Wednesdays meeting Of the Board Of Edu-
cation the original report Of the Committee on
High Schools relative TO the examination and
selection of assistant teachers was modified in
such manner as to make II More acceptable
to members Of the Board and others who
thought it Disseminated unfairly and unwisely
against New-York teachers. without reversing
the policy which has been adopted for those
schools. To this concession we see no objec-
ton, and If II has the effect Of restoring conf
dence and goodwill in quarters where critical
and as we believe, an erroneous attitude has
been maintained. all concerned viii have cause
for rejoicing. There has never been any good
reason for thinking that n prejudice against
Ncw-Yorl teachers existed in the minds of
those members Of the Board Of Education who
have insisted that experience in high school
work was an essential qualification for appoint
ment to conduct our high schools
The course which has excited some disapproval
and even some resentment was adopted simply
because such experience was regarded as the only
sure guarantee Of fitness. We believe that this
was sound Judgment but in any case it did not
imply the slightest disparagoment Of the teach
ers Of this city new departure was about

conditions which would secure n fair trial. The
Board Of Education WAS urdcr the strongest
obligation to avoid all possible risks OF misap

principals had TO learn their business would al
most inevitably. for a tiIe at least. fail TO per-
form their legitimate function in the system of
public education. and incur discredit which
would properly belong not TO the plan. but 10
its application. Perhaps it Is not strange that
some teachers felt agCriryed and that on their
account not few citizens manifested dispeas-
ure. But further reflection and observation will
lead we think, TO a revision of opinion among
the dsconened. We hope that they VIII at
least become convinced that nobody had Il trace

schools. or any laci, OF appreciation OF merits
