My .HothorVs Hands.
Such beautiful. beautiful bands.
They're neither white nor small.
And you. 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.

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."

Two of the lawyers in the Ferguson trial at

their reckless onslaught upon newspaper
