? ir iiw , v.v ^ ~T* v.*^?a? riia Press and Banner Bj Hugh Wilson and II. T. lVardlaw / Wednesday, Nov. 17, 1880. The Public Schools. At the request or a prominent teacher o till* county wo reproduce in thc.se eq'umns nil article from the -Yeu; York Tenehera' Ins'i tutc on the subject of teaching. We know that the sender, in the 1.-st part of the llr* imrncrnph, meant no reflection on the trns teof of the school at Abbeville, an J we hopi hat It will not be so construed. Neither Is 1 I^resnmrd that U was vent for the purpose o making the sehool system of South Carollm iipjienr ridiculous. fcut whatever may hav< b?en tho motive ol the sender we think tl;< first part of the flrnt paragraph pretty correct ly describes In part, the Condition ot thinj'i lu Abbeville county, except thut the teacher: . here are better puld than that artlclc conteni l-latcs. The romaiks In the article about how j * teacher may be "'gotten up cheap," will It let*!J convince notKMly of anything except the lm practicability of the mind that conceived tin ?V essay. It Is funny to hear a man talk learn 5; ? edly of the necessity of employing n graduati of Yale, of Harvard, or of Hamilton in c,u public schools, when for the want of menus men possessing tl at high standard of cduca tlon cannot bo employed lit the best colli go: Id Son*h Carolina. We cannot with the pub * lie money establish universities at every cro?! *0 roads in every township of the State. On public schools are not for tlio purpose of In: ; yi ? parting the higher branches of education t< ^ tho children of the Commonwealth, and w< have but little use for Greek or Latin schol ' hrs In such schools. The law has In view the equal division of the school fund, and ol Ey, * mursc It contempla'os that each child In the Ktate shall share Its benefit*. The Idea of the pgk . expenditure of a great deal on a few to the . exclusion of all the others never entered Into the calculations of tho*o who framed theC'on*Ktltutlon. nor of those Who levied the tax. The ftiml Is too small, and in ninny In ?tancc?, our population is too sparse to emit ploy professional teachers who follow thebusliiess as a inonoy-maklng profession, but every neighborhood is able to supplement the fund to such an extent as will enable them to secure the services of a competent teacher for the ftill scholastic year. There are In Abbeville county flva hundred educated young la dies who are fully competent to teach a common school, and who would bo glad of the opportunity to be useful, even nt very small figures. As long as this Is the case amateur male teachers will not be In greut demand. There are so matty avenues to fortune open to them that they cannot afford to teach an cheaply as could their sisters, and practical common sense people know that many young ladles are better fitted for teaching than their more pretentious brothers. As long as this Is Hie case we believe It to be a waste of the public money to hire thcrn at S10 a month, when their sisters will gladly do the work for SIM. In the matter of awarding certificates to tcachers there seems to us to bo a want of practical questions In the examination, and the teachers arc questioned on branches which tboy are seldom required o tcach In a public school. Other questions have no moro connection with the nrt of teaehinc than t!i<y have to the production of 1- %mp. For Instance the teachers have been r julred to call the names of the townships lu this county, to ? write the names of the Governors ol the Ktato from Its earliest settlement, m:d to slve Ju regular succession the ntimes of the Presidents from Washington down to Ilnyis. Asa change wo think teachors mi^ht now be atk ed to write down the names of the depots and water tanks on the Greenville and Columbia Rnllro. .1, or to furnish us with a list of the merchants of Abbeville, wltU Information ns to whcic the best Northern apples may be obtained at the lowest prlee. " Another question might be substituted for .* some of the Interrogatories which have heretofore been proposed. If the holders of llrst grmto certificates in 1*79 oarticd S15 u month by a fHltbrui discharge or tneir uuiy, now inucn moro work did they do In 18>j0 for$40a month ? Ag :?1d, how much more information can these *t?me teachers impart to their scholars In 1 three months In 1SS1 at &10 a month thau they 'could in five months at?23a month T We will sny a word or two in a general way about the Abbeville County Touchers' Institute, which wo believe to be a good organization Indeed,and on* the value of whoeeuood * Works Is not easily estimate !. The lack of attendance on it* meetings, however, indicates the small Interest which a majority of . the teachers of the oounIy take In their pro fesslon.and tills fact goes a long ways in support of our position lnjrefercnce to lower salaries. The first meeting was exceedingly interesting, but the burden of many of the : speeches was a cry for hlghor wages. The second meeting at Greenwood we did not attend, Judging from what we nave learned of the proceedings of that meeting, It wjis much Sg^'Jof the tame tono. If we may be allowed to '* ^r,make a suggestion we would say that we KrSthlnk the proceedings of the meetings of this 4 organization are alittle deficient in the matter jjffi /of discussing the practical business of tench[& - lug. It seems to ur, to Judge from the speechcs, that It Is rather a "Teachers'Protective s? - Union," whose chlof business It is to secure IV. .-^higher sa'aries for Its members. Whon the .^nattor of teaching a public school is dlscust%-r ' cd, Instead of practical suggestions on the ew modosof tcaehingchlldren the rudlmenU spt an English education, we havo a dlisertafc.k ' ilon on Improved modes of mastering the forRS?&C%lgn languages. Instead of discussing the tiarbarlc plan, which wasoncc universally practiced, of flogging children In school, we ' fcave an elaborate essay on the pay of teach B^p^lrs. At none of theso meetings havo wi fceard anything pertaining to the kindergar ten system, wnicn amuses, lnicrcsis anu m iructs the child; neither have we heard a ; word said about that other new and more practical plau, the Qulncy plan, which Is u c omplete and radical change from the old sys torn, and which Is now being adopted In souk of the inore progressive of the Northern clt les. There aro thousands of practical questions relating to the every day business ol teaching, that might bo discussed with profit to the teachers and with pleasuro to those who jnay be lookorvon at their proceedings. In the position which we have taken In this J,. matter, w? would state that true merit in n proficient tea?hcr Is poorly paid at the figures which wc have mentioned. We do not disagree with those w ho think that teachers deserve moro F*y- We aro as fully convinccd ol the necessity of hiring good teachers as anybody can bo, and we think themun who would not deny himself the luxuries, and many ol the comforts of life, if neod be, to educate hit children Is not a true man. Any father In Abbeville county, deserving the name, will give bis children hL least a common school education, butthis is an utilitarian age, andpurents are not required to pay $10 a month to a tcach it whose services may be obtained for r month. Values aro regulated by the supplj and the demand. In the matter of school teachers the supply in Abbeville county is ex ceedlngly great, tindof course their wages ur< correspondingly depressed. If teachers couli not be employed at for less we should urgeou people to p;?y SW, 550, $60, or oven highei wag#s, but when we can get the same teach ers for $25 a month, it Is a violation of the law of trade to pay mora The Greenville and Columbia Rail road. There seems to b? ctlll more trouble abou tho management of the Greenville and Col umbla Railroad aud the South Carolina Rail road, and our esteemed contemporary, tb , Charleston Sews and Courier, lose# Its tempe nnd uses some strong expressions In reofrcnc to a letter which It publisher from the man sgorsof theG. & C. Road. We have alway felt a great Interest In Charleston, and havi time and again urged the necessity of bclnj put in proper railroad connectlou with tha city, but owing to the management of th< South Carolina Railroad which had controllec the Greenville and Columbia Railroad foi several years previous to the appointment o s Receiver, this pnrt of the country Is prettj well convinced tbut we hare been mos shamefully treated, and when tlie Greenvill< 'and Columbia Railroad was advertised foi sale wc hoped for a change of some kind Onr respected neighbor the JS'etca and Courier peaks something of the South Carollnu care being used by the Greenville and Columbia Road. In reply to that we might say tbnt it the South Carolina Railroad had not absorbed a large par!, of the gross earnings of this Road for years it might have been able to buy a sufficiency of cars for any business which this road may be culled uj ou to do. It looks a little like the South Carolina Railroad has at last met Its match, nnd there is Just enough of the old Adutn left In some of us to cause us to have very few regrets at the early discomfiture of a corj oration" which has in the past OiercUid lis power so arbitrarily. Tns lawyer* will nil attend the Supreme Court next, and they have ibe printers bii!?y at work on their briefs. The Lighth Circuit will be calltd next Tuesday. Whejt we rend the list of premiums awarded by the Statu Fair, we are itiip;es>cd with the Idea that the block law counties run the U+USbluC. * \ wrriji. Erskiue Colic??. ; The Trustees of this institution, we believe,, ! meet to-Jay or to-morrow to olcct a Pmfrssor *1 of Mathematics. The public <'f Abbeville! j county reels a great priue in j-.rsKine voueKc,; j and we think Ersktne College and It? Trus-j j tees shoukl respect the demand which that j : public makes upon It lor un eillcient ami able Professor In this most Important department, fi The questions now are, shall the Institution . remain aclose corporation with none eligible1 . toa Professors!:ip that happen to havo been | . born outside the Associate Reformed Church? J or shall it remain a denominational in<tltu . Ition? or..shall its standard be elevated toj ?1 that of an educational college ? ^ I Let the Trustees cloet an able and progre-s f lvc Prole* so?- from the world i.t Urge, and not I t circuniseribe the Held from which to select to ; j the narrow bounds of the Associwt2 Heformed ' ; j Church. The fact Is, that institution has been ' . j liberally endowed by frleuds of education in; ?; every t art of the country, and it behooves ; <! the Truslce^ not to act with it, as If itwuicj . pi ivate properly to be divided out to next oft kin, but rather let theui consider only the in-' t teiests of the College, and elect the best man I , they can get, no matter from whence he i . conies. It an accepUiblc corps of teachers are > elected the succc-s f the Institution will be a ! . j tixed fact. For lificen long year* the College j a ] has barely existed. With ihepres''nt demand r 1 for education in our country.lt is evident thai | ithtre is something wrong when only about; 1! titty students are in attendnii-e upon its Col-1 141 lcgiatecource. Men of enlarged views are} . j needed in the Professors' chairs : men who 1 , j have been cdueat- d abroad; men whose dress, j r j dignity and personal bearing would m.;ke for; ?; our boys models of wli.it 1 tie worm estiis "gen- i ,1-tlCRien," even if their know!rd;e of House's t . version of the I'?alms, should be less tlism i . I that possess .? by some of those who havel . j heretofore heid Professorships in that College, j m In the management of a Col.ege practical bus-; , j incss tact is needed, and an y institution which j , j refuses to have ii'jocted in!o its control a prop" j , or regard for the demands of the public uilght! j as weil close its doors. j An educational Institution is an honor to j any county, and the people of Abbeville couu- , ' ty have ever been proud of Krskine College, i i but while tliis is true they have felt that their ' j w ishes have been greatly ignored In the fact j i that their ditiiaiids for piogrosivc teachers | have been disregarded. With elegant build, j , j Ings, an en tensive library, and the healthiest i land best location for a College to be found I | anywhere, there Is no reason why a good Fae . julty should not draw more than fifty stu- j i dents, The old management has had a long: j lease of control, and we think It might be j . worth while to try a change. If u man- out-1 [sido of the Associate Keformed Church is' ! elccted. and it is found that lie does not give j ! satisfaction, it will not lie difficult to oust i i him. Several years ago Synod relieved tho I i Professors of the College from acting us'mein. ' ; | bers of the Hoard of Trustees from I ho simpl e [ i fact that it was a delicate position for a Profes-1 i [sor to bold. Tbe merits of < Professor could , . j not be fre.-Iy discussed by a body of which he ! , himself w is a menibe-. F< r tlic same reason ' ; It mlglit be wi 11 to have some of the Profes-; i j sors front the outside world, who would have - ( 'j no relatives or friends In tlio Hoard of Trus-1 j tees, and .then Synod could not be so easily j' j bulldozed. As soon as he failed to glvo satis- j < j faction he would be required to give jilacc for j 'abetter man. | Let the Trustees take the progressive step'; proposed, aud If need be, the people of Abb. - | 'villecounty will, no doubt, contribute some-!' ! thing to the endowment of a chair which : i j should be held purely upon tho professors' I . - .

J j It Is difficult to forecast the policy of (Jencr al Garfield's administration. Many leading Northern papers maintain that he will do all ; y in his power to conciliate the North. That he isees his opportunity to break the solidarity i | of the South by kind and conciliatory con-! ! duct, and that lie will have the nerve to do It. j ' Wo would be g!s?d to believe thin, but Gene:- j , al Garfield's life has not given us the promise j J that ho will cut loo.se from the shackles of | party discipline, defy the dictates of party | j loaders, and set asiuo me uc:iuiiiuii <>i mu>i;| who elcctcd him. That he lias the aeuteness I to loresee the wlfcdcm, of this policy Is not ! doubted, but he has not the nerve or courage1 i to carry It out. Moral cowardice Is the wi ak . point of Garfield's character. This has been | ! proven all through ills public life. His errors and misdeeds have been committed more] j through his weakness than from bad principles. Grant, Conkllng, Blaine and Cameron i j have bought the ri^ht to say what his policy! j to the South shall be. Their own views upon j this pointare too well known (o admit of any ) j doubt as to what they will advise. The sial-; : wart organs are prognosticating that they will j i demand that there shall be no compromising j I with the South. Looking upon us as the Iocs of a free ballat an represented by the negro,; they will demand coercive measures, and we [ fear that General Garfield, even If he has the t j desire, will not have the firmness to refuse.J A Republican Congress will bo at the backs | ! rather of these stalwart leaders than at his,; and his desire for a second term will so far' control him that he will not dare to run conn- . ter to the wishes of the leaders of the pnrly. j i [ Cle: r'y, the South need expect no favors from j 1 i this administration. She may scarcely cx-j. ijpcct even to belctalouo. Yet despite these j < racts we nave no sympaiuy wun any uuiuu.v. - terlng plan looking to a prevention of the I j i' count of the electoral vote of any State that | < ! was crtst for Garfield. Nor have we any more i sympathy with the weak and puerile advice [ j 1 ol some of the Southern papers and of Sei.n-1 ! | tor lien IIlll to the effect that the Democratic ' party must be disbanded. The Democratic | party is the representative of principles which i . have been cloar to the American people since! ! t the foundation of the Republic, It is the representative of principles which shaped the j ! history of that Republic. The very founda! tlon and safety of the government rest on tin-' . i maintenance of the principles which it pro- j . i fesscs. Incompetent leaders may have dc- i ' I parted from them in the construction of the1 i! platform upon which this campaign was I i fought, but the deleat that followed their ac-1 j tion Iocs not warrant the advice that the parity should be desortcd and disbanded. True ! iilhat a* long as we nave comroi 01 uicowiej i and county governments we need not fear a; return of the darkest days of our experience j ; of Radical rule. nevertheless, let us stick to! f the Democratic party, and perhaps ere four j years have rolled around a Republican Con I grcss and Republican President may have, r I given the American people cause to desire a| >! change. >*. A Blameless Candidate. Beyond doubt no Presidential candidate j overpassed through a campaign and came out j t of it so froo from taint as Hancock. Grant j r|wi>s obliged to disavow the words which j I j Fowler put into his mouth respecting! Hancock's conduct in Louisiana, and the | j!fcurratt hanging, which it was threatened j | would play such an important part in thei r flght.did not figure at all. Hancock's is a. r j fine position in history, and the defeat which j . j has come to shine through causes which it is i s { fruitless now to dslcuss, cannot detract from j | the brightness of his fame as a soldier, and as | a lover of law and the constitution who stil>- j ! ordlnaicd the military to the civil authority.! . His foes aud his friends alike rcspoet and I | admire hiuj. j Begprars at the Fair a Nuisance. I The greatest nuisance that we observed at.' rjthe State Fair was a host of beggars whom . I "no man could number." At every corner j ' and In the midst of every crowd could be secu I deformed beggars relating their piteous tales, j ! exhibiting their deformities, and thrusting j their poverty and misfortune Into the faces of 11 everybody. We claim to have as much of the' I milk of human kindness as anybody, and feel 1 . j as sorry for the afflicted as the most generous,; r ' but we submit that these people have no right j f to give us the horrors at a time when wc as-1 , semble for mutual pleasure and enjoyment.! ^ The sight of these creatures mnrred thepleas} , ureof our trip to Columbia, and we resolved ! r. to appeal to the authorities to save us this In-' ; fllctlon In the future. The government pro-| " j videR n means of support to such of our fel-; ' lowmen as are destitute and unable to earn a i llvinsr, and it is much more honorablo and f; modest for these people to accept the proffered 1 I charity of the povemment than to parade j 1 their misfortunes on every street corner and | ' in every public place.
