For tho L?-xiu?tou Dispatch. To the Educational Public. Iu order that there may be no mis understanding I will reiterate what I published in the s; ring, as our annual examination for te?chers in the free public schools of Lexington county will soon take place as provided for bv law. Believing that there were teachers in the county who were grossly incompetent, holding first grade certificates, who were lowering the educational standard and retarding the intellectual advancement of the children. . the County Board of Examiners for ^ * said county, on April 8th, 1889, passed > the following resolutions, which will be - ./ rigidly observed : '-W ' Resolved, That the County Board ^ of Examiners for Lexington county tT recommend to the District Boards of ^ Trustees that the salaries of teachers - i| the free public schools be raised to forty dollars per month for first grade and thirty dollars for second ; third to remain twenty dollars and licenses fifteen ; provided that this advance shall only apply to those certificates dated on and after April the 5th, 1889. 2nd. That this Board w ill grant no licenses to t< ach in the tree public schools of said county where the applicant does not appear and stand the examination in accordance with a reso- j lution passed by the State Board providing for such licenses. I desire also to call the attention of , the trustees to Section 1,005 of the General Statutes, which reads: "No teacher shall be employed in any of the free public schools without a certi- i ficate from the County Board of Exam- 1 iners or the State Board of Examiners ; Provided, That. no examination as to qualification shall be made in the - cjse of any applicant who produces a diploma from anv chartered college or university in thisS.ate certifying to the proficiency of such ^person in the branches of learning referred to in his application, and satisfactory evidence of crnnd moral character." ot It is necessaryjor any teacher who desires to draw upon the school fund of this county to- enter into a contract with the trustees of the school district in which he or she desires to teach before commencing to teach ; such contract to be recorded in the trustees' record boi/k, which b-.ok I will furnish the trustees of each district in this county And it wilt also be necessary for the teachers to keep correct registers, which books I will also furnish for the teachers, to be returned to the ^ trustees at the close of the public school term. The teachers \*;ii present, at the close of each school month, a certified monthly report to the Clerk of the Board of Trustees, which, if satisfactory, he will attest and draw a warrant, in duplicate form, on the County Treasurer, and if said warrant is countersigned by the County School Commissioner, it shall be paid out of the school fund of the district in which the services were rendered. The teachers will please to bear in mind that this office will expect in the future a strict compliance with the foregoing rules of law. My object is to elevate the standard of the profession in the county, and iu the true s^jrit of the law, promote publicly aad-unprejudiciously the general educational interest of the children ; and to the end that trustees will co-operate with me in ^executing t^e law and bringing about this much needed refoYm, ; School Com'r Lexington county. ? v. Caution to Mothers. Every mother is cautioned against giving her child laudanum or paregoric ; it creates an unnatural craving for stimulants which kills the mind or the child.

Papa's Reply. Yes, dear Daughter, I will admit that the "shafts of ridicule are dangerous weapons," but, nevertheless, I must contend that it is the motive that prompts a man to do a thing that makes it evil. We must treat this young generation somewhat as the old man in Webster's Blue Back Speller did the voung rascal that he caught stealing his apples?try mild means t aud when that fails, cast a few stones. Often they will curse us, but it will bring them down every time. If we do not rule them they will "boss" us around, and it will not do to let them go to destruction without having the rod of correction laid on occasionally. We must try to "teach them on which side their bread is buttered." or some of the responsibility may rest on us. It may do some good, anyho.v, for "the rod and reproof give wisdom ; but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame " Old Mother Eve's blood?that almost irresistible desire for the forbidden fruity and the neglect of proper training together, lie at the very bottom of immorality and degredation. Many have been baptised in infancy and taught that this has taken the place of regeneration, and they imagine * that all that is now necessary to their < - 5- 1 - ... J saiva'.IOU IS regiuar aucuuautc ai , church and a constant repetition of the j Apostles' creed. They seem to think ! that civilization and education have i done away with regeneration, and that ; they can now be saved without bearing * the ci'oss of Christ. It is now too bur- j denSome to be borne, and altogether j unnecessary. It shuts fhetn off from ; some of the vain and fascinating ! pleasures of the world, and they have summed up the law of Cod and found 4 that he never intended this. Their ! hearts are evilly inclined and their lips are ever ready to speak evil. They are "lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God," and they imagine that their desires must be gratified. They must drink liquor, smoke cigarettes, dance and do many other wicked acts, * j ust because they think these things t nd to keep them on the popular side of society. They prize social stand- ; ing far above Christianity. Society is j the god they are serving, and its swift j wings will soon launch them in hell. If our girls would learu to care less , for fashion and the vanities of society their sex and "the world would be the better for it" Too many girls are like the proud little "Jenny Wren"? they try to ape some vain and haughty "canary," and they thus make themselves fools. They are not satisfied with a neat and common dress that would make them just as beautiful as ; nature ever intended them to be. but i they must be rigged out in all the rtif* j fles and puckers of modern styles. Our j mothers tell ns of those good old days ! when they were girls, and that a comj mon colico dress was good enough j then, "But now the test Is who can best In silk and diamonds rustle. Or who reveals The highest hee's. Or sports the largest bustle." j j They must stand before a mirror an j hour or two each day and curl and powder, and primp and practise that they may be more thoroughly qualified to make what thev call a "mash" on some brainless dude Many of them. I when they go to church, or out in soJ ciety at any other place, cannot we.tr I this and they cannot wear that, and they cannot do this and they cannot do that simply because they say it is not alamode; but wheo some dude is with them, and the light in the parlor is burning low, it is all tete-a-tete. All this goes to verify the maxim, "All j that glitters is not gold." Many of our daughtesrs do not seem to know that they were made for usefulness as well as for pleasure. It was not intended that they should live like butterflies. God did not place | them here to sit in an easy chair and I read novels all day and at night entertain some young fop with a pack of cards. He never intended that they should live for pleasure alone, for He says, "She that lives in pleasure is dead while she lives." They are dead and expensive property on the hands of their parents, and are not at all fit for | the wives of any noble hearted gentle' man. A girl of this stamp would soon make any man believe that "marriage is a failue," for the Bible teaches that "it is better to dwell in the wilderness than with a contentious and angry wo man.' While all this, and even more, is true of the far sex. I thank God that there are a few exceptions. There are a few that are as pure aud noble as Whittier's "Maud Muller.'* A few that would not dance, nor read a trashy novel, nor play a game of cards, nor touch "the cup that demons quaff/' nor have anything to do with a young man who indulges in those evils f r "* * * The crown the Bourbon lost." Wherever they are, and whoever they be they are worth their weight iti gold. What is to become of our boys? Shall I sum the matter up and say that there is nothing too bad for them to do ! God only knows what is to become of them ! Their brain is crammed with wicked thoughts and their hearts are puffed with sin. They are always ready for anything in which there is any enjoyment no matter how sinful They do not care anything about Christianity. They have no respect. for the church and the teachings of the Bible; but they will condescend to do anything to keep on the good side of "sporting society " When they go to church at all it is for the sole purpose of having what they call "fun," and therefore they must have a little liquor and a few nasty little cigarettes. They take a "pretty good drink" and spike their breath with tobacco smoke, because, they say, "the girls love to smell it." They are so silly and no account that they think that they cannot converse with a young lady unless they have ajlcmk or two, and I have that it does help them Surely the girls do like it, rq^HWPfkdrink-'' mg fops tyll succeed P5tta^rv ' he sometSngTabouf hiij that attracts, but I am sutife there is" nothing livable about him.v No genuine yoqng lady will accept the attention of "a young man whose breath is highly flavored with the "dark beverage of hell," but she will turn from him in perfect disgust, and in her heart she will ever repeat: ' Tell me I hate Ihe bowl, Hate is a feeble word: J loathe, abhor?my very soul With strong disgust is stirred. When'er 1 see. or hear, or tell. Of the DARK BEVERAGE OF HELL." My dear young ladies, if husbands you want and husbands you will have, for God sake do not marry men that drink liquor. If you do you will destroy your happiness, and, perhaps, greatly shorten your days on earth. Do not look at the ourside of a man nor his wealth ; but rather view the inside. Examine carefully his moral character, and ever bear in mind that "'tis not the fairest form that holds the purest soul." Your happiness depends upon whom you marry, and if you are careful to get a good husband, though his poverty is equal to that of the poor man that begged at the rich man's gate, your happiness will be complete. Do not let fine dress, nor a gold watch and chain, nor a horse and buggy, nor a whole township of land influence jou in the least; but marry a man because he is noble and good and be cause you love him. There are not many young men that are good enough to become the husband of a true lady, and, therefore, I say, be not deceived, but get one in whom you are sure there is "Something s erling that will sray "When gold and silver fad9 away."

He Tells of Yet More Wonderful Things that He is to Bring Forth. The reporter of. the Courier des j KtaU Cuis asked Mr. Edison if, it was i true that he had invented a machine ! by the aid of which a man in New York would be able to see everything his wife was doing in Paris. 'I don't know." said Mr. Edison, laughing, "that that would be a real o o? benefit to humanity. The women certainly would protest. Hut, speaking seriously, f am at work i n an invention which will allow a" man in Wall street not only to telephone to a friend in the Central Park, but to see that friend while he is chatting telephonicallv with him This invention would be useful and practical, and I see no reason why it should not soon become a real ty, and one of the first things that I shall do when I get back to America \vi 1 be to set up this contrivance between my laboratory and my telephone workshops Moreover, I have already obtained satisfactory results in reproducing.images at this distance. which is only about one thousand feet. It would be ridiculous to dream of seeing anyone between NewYork and Paris. The round form of the earth, if there were no other difficulty in the way, would make the thing impossible " Speaking of the phonograph, the reporter asked if it had reached its Ivghest degree of perfection "Almost, I think," said Mr. Edison, . "in the last instruments turned out c.f my worksuop. You must know that the ordinary phonograph employed in commerce does not begin to compare with the latest machines that I use in my private experiments. With the latter I can obtain sound powerful enough to reproduce phrases of speech that can be heard perfectly by a large audience. My last ameliorations were with the aspirate sounds, which are the weak point of the graphophouc. For seven months I worked from eighteen to twenty hours io a day on the single sound 'specia,' and I couldn't make it say anything else. It was enough to make rne crazy. Hut I stuck to it until I succetided, and now )ou can read a thousand words of a newspaper at the rate of lf>0 words a minute, and the instrument will repeat them to you without an omission You con imagine the difficulty of the task that I accomplished when 1 tell you that theimpressions made upon the cylinder are not more than one millionth part of an inch in depth, and are completely invisible even with a microscope " Reporter?And what new discoveries w'll be made in electricity? Mr. Edison?Ah. that would be difficult to say. We may some day come upon one of the great secrets of nature. I am always on ihe look out for something tliltt will help me to solve the problem of navigating the air. I have worked hard upon this subject, but I am very much discouraged. We may find something new before that comes; but that will come. Mr. Edison further said that the great developement of electricity will come when we find a more economical way of producing it. During his trip across the ocean he remained for hours looking at the waves, and he said it made him wild when he saw so much force going to ? \naste. "But sone of these days, continued, "we will chain all tlftHhe falls of Niagara its May he be s^od with, lightning and compelled to wander over gunpowder. May he scratch a poor man's head all the days of his life. May he never be permitted to kiss a pretty woman. May every day of his life be more despotic than the Dey of Algiers. May 240 nightmares trot quarter races over his stomach every night Mav his boots leak, bis gun hang fire, and his fishing-line break. May a troop of printers' devils, lean, lank and hungry, ctog his footsteps every day. May a regiment of cats caterwaul under his window each night. May his cow give sour milk and his churn make rancid butter. May bedbugs bite him and conscience affright him. In short, may his business go to ruin and he himself go to the?old scratch.

Dr. Horatio 0 W ood, of the Pennsylvania University, comments sharply on the ignorance of the average American physician He does not believe that 20 per cent. of the graduates of medicine in America could pass the examination required for a license to p actice in Germany. Consequently the American diploma has no meaning. It is true that some of our M. D's do not know how to spell very well, and the grammer they use wMild make a schoolmistress howl. It is also true that we are turning them out by thousands every year, so that there promises present y to be a doctor to every ten men. But there is no way to stop it, no way to elevate the standard of American medical learning, unless the different States pass laws fixing a more extended and thorough school education before the medical studns are begun.
