I know, would scarcely think Tnat they were lair at all; I've looked on hands whose form and hue A sculptor's dream might he' Yet are these aged, wrinkled hands, M/ict i.fvmi ifn! to inc. Such beautiful, beautiful hands*. Though the heart was weary and Pad, Those patient hands kept toiling on, That the children inisrht be glad; I almost weep, as looking back On childhood's distant day, I think how these hands rested uot, When mine were at their play. Such beautiful, beautiful hands, They're growing feeble now. For time and pain have left their mark On hand, and heart, and brow; Alas! alas! thenearing lime, And the sad. sad day to me, "When 'neath the daisies, out. of sight, These hands will folded be. Hut. oh. beyond this shadow land, Whore all is bright and fair, I know, full well, these dear old hands win nnitns nf victory bear: "Where crystal streams, through endless years. Flow over golden sands. And where the old grow young again? I'll clasp my mother's hands. THE SCHOOL AND THE STATE. - WHEN THEY ARE SEPARATED, THE VEXED EDUCATIONAL QUESTION MAY REST ON A PROPER AND SOLID FOUNDATION. ?. The flood and Honest Si(H IV. Rron ne Given Our School System a Few Solid li nock's which are Worthy of Consideration. Chrlstain Neighbor, When Educat ion ami the State nrc separated form each other?when the State has no more to do with eduealng white or colored, rich or poor, than it has with furnishing them wiih shoes, clothing and hats,?then will the perplexing and unsettled question of "Education" rest oil a proper and solid foundation. When this shall have been done, the way will he open for building up educational establishments on a Just, equitable and permanent basis. Although, according to the present system, some receive the benefit of tlie "free" tuition who paid tax. thus receiving something, but it is not so, and cannot be so, by all. The system is unequal, unjust, costly, and far short of justifying results. The amount of tax paid, compared with the benefit received by tlie tax-payers is unequalsome receiving more, some less, that is correspondent, andsome who may pay large tax receiving no benefit at all. Admitting that all this is, with tax-payers, inseparable from the present system, the professed object of ''free" tuition?the benefit of the poor?is attained in quite a limited and scanty measure. If the ' free" tuition fund were applied exclusively and economically to t hr? i>piH-iit of the noor. the system would be < relieved of one prime objectionable feature. But some rich or able come in ami get their share of a feast prepared professedly for "the poor."' And moore: a largely excessive proprotion of the "free" tuition is appropriated in such a way as to make it next to impracticable for any besides the rich or the able to get any benefit lrom such appropriation. This reference is to the South Carolina Colleee. I Such inequality and injustic are inseparable I from the pressent arrangement. It is in place to inquire what better system i can take the place of that which now obtains? Answer, re>pectfully: ttelcgate the entire matter of education to individual, family, philanthropic ami corporation enterprise and ellort, iho same as is done with procuring shoes, clothing, lints, hominy and heaping up of treasure. Thus will the way be open for boys and girls of themselves to make something of themselves and feel justly their independence. And occasion may not be wanting among others of the "poor" for practical philanthropy by those who would help the poor at their own cost. The common and the poor people 1 nl' thMD.1 VI iiir^iuiv iiuvc linn ijimv ... ret leal, rostrum and legislative philanthropy at the cost of other people. Further: Why should not a rich or able family educate their own children at their own cost, the same as they feed and clothe them at their own ex reuse? What would such parents and sons und daughters say if it were made public that their clothing, ifcc., were obtained at the expense of the State, supposing sucli to be a J'uct f Still further: Whatan inviting field would be opened to the churches and to voluntary corporations to establish, schools, academies and colleges. Then, if philanthropists, churches and corporations so choose, they can give aid to the worthy poor, and such aid will be entitled to be called "fice"' in sense of truth, equity and charity. THE SCHOOL TEACHERS. The Ordeal through which they Must I'hsn on the I'lirst Thursday ami Friday in January, ISSG. School Commissioxkus Office. Arhkv li.f, 8. C., November 3 1SSS. W? wontd respectfully trive notice to k 11 concerned teacberx, patrons ami trustees, that we will aiihere as t-tricily, us prncticaMc to the school law nn?l tlie fill-j lowing resolutions passed by the State Board of Examiners: 1. "The Conntv Board i f Examiners, shall examine all candidates for the profession of teacher and give to Mich persons found <pia.iticd,a certificate, setting forth tin. Iir-inelies of learning he or she mav he canable of teaching, such an examination to be renewed every j year." (General Statutes section 1005.) Theahove has been amended by the following:! The County Hoard of Examiners shall have authority to renew said certificates hiin nally for a period of' time not to exceed three years; l'rovided that the liolders of such certificates shall give to the County ! Board of Examiners satisfactory evidence of continued good character and of efiicieney as teachers." < Adopted September 2, IjmU.) 'i. (?) All examinations before County Board of Kxaininers must be in writing, except examinations in reading. (6) At all examinations before the County Hoards ?t least two members of the Board must be present. (c) All applicants before County Boards shall be examined on Orthography, Beading, Writing, Arithmetic, Geography, English Grummer, and History of the iT. and this State." ("Standing Bulcsof the State Board of Examiners. 3. ' Resolved, That the examination of teachers J . before the County Board of Examiners shall include a I teries of questions on the theory and practice ofj teaching and that the "Methods of Teaching" by j John Swctt and "Art of School Management" by John J Baldwin, will be recommonded as books ol reference." (Adopted May 1, ls>$8.) 4. Resolved, That the State Snrperintendant ofj Education be requested to prepare in future, only one set of questions for all three grades for use by the County Board of Examiners ; and that applicants for County certificates of Qualification be required to make a general averageot not less than St) per cent, for a first grade certificate, TO per cent, for a second J grade, and 60 per cent, for a third grade and not less) than 40 per cent, on any other branch." (Circular Mo. o, series of 1SS5.) i). " I nai llltt examinations ui leacners uy vtiuiiiv !><>ar<ls of Examiners shall be licl'l throughout the *. State on the lirst Thursday and Friday in January | and July of each year, or on such other days as the' State Superintendent of Education, in his discretlan, may direct. No examination slnll be held except on such days without the permission of the State Superintendent of Education first had and obtained.'1 (Adopted September, ^S4.) .Implicit {obedience to lawful authority is a basal principle in education, and no teacher who is worthy | the name will neglect to inculcate this truth both by j jirecept and example. Wo therefore hope that no i teacher or patron will ask lis to disobey the plain and > imperative requirements of the law and the State Jjoard, whns-.' ministers we are, by doing any act con-1 trary to the foregoing resolutions. . We realize our responsibility, and we shall endeavorj to meet it, as God shall {jive us strength, without fear, j favor or affection. We earnestly request the trustees of the several districts, the patrons of the public j schools, and all teachers who aie conscious ol their | ?>\vn merit, to ain us in carrying uui uie tort-gom;; regulartions. We would suggest tit those who expect to apply for certificates of qualification, that they study, before the examination, om; or both ol the works recommended In ltule No.3; that they review carefully the branches required in "U" of Mo. 2, especially Arithmetic and hnglish Grammar. There are two advantages in pursuing this course : 1. You get through with the physical labor sooner. 2. Yob may save yourself some humiliation. The examination will be held in the court house on the first Thursday and Friday in January, l:ysii,*for white and for colored teachers respectively, beginning ut Hi a. in. and closing at 4 |>. in. Applicants must furnish pens and ink, and legal cap paper. L-t the applicants keep continually in view, before and after the examination, the language ol Shakespeare: 'It is in ourselves that we are thus or thus." c,i;o. c. hoixjK-S J. C. KLUCII. ' JOHN A.
