The Spring Term for 1878 will open about the middle of January next. The citizens living in the vicinity of Hun? ter's Spring desire to establish a first class high school at that point, and are making J efforts to secure the services of Mr. C. C. Reed as a teacher for the coming year. Mr. Reed is a gentleman of fine character, and is a scholar of high attainments. His ex? perience in teaching adds to his other quali? fications for the position. A better choice cannot be made. We learn that the mails will he transferred at Seneca City regularly on and after Jan? uary 1st, 1878. This change will be greatly more convenient for our section of country, and will facilitate the transmission of mails more than persons who have not thought upon the subject imagine. It will make the transmission of a letter from New York to this point and back from two to three days quicker than by the present arrangement.

Me. Editob : Feeling a deep interest In the cause of common school education in the State, I crave the use of your columns to offer a few suggestions to our legislators in Columbia. It is a notorious fact that the common school system as administered for the last few years under Radical rule was a misera? ble failure, benefitting nobody except the thieves who handled the swag. And it is admitted, I believe, that the system will have to be re-organized and placed upon a solid and useful basis. Now, what is the best plan to accomplish the end in view ? I think that some plan like the following might help to secure the object sought. First. Divide all the townships into school districts of an equal number of square miles, (say four,) and let the State build a school house and furnish it with suitable desks, the school house to be built as near the centre as possible, and heated by means of a stove placed in the centre of the building. Second. Let there be elected by the quali? fied electors of each township a trustee, who shall be a bonded olficer, and have charge of all school matters pertaining to the town? ship, and.who shall receive a per diem and mileage to be fixed by law. In addition to his duties as school trustee he should have charge of all matters pertaining to the roads and bridges in his township. He should make an annual report on the schools to the County School Commissioner, who shall be his superior. He should make an annual report to the County Commissioners on matters connected with roads and bridges, and account to them for all monej's expend? ed for all purposes. Third. The township trustee shall appoint a school director for each school district, and it shall be the duty of the director'to call a meeting of the voters in his school district on the first Saturday in October of each year to elect a teacher for the ensuing term; and the teacher elect shall enter into a written contract with the township trustee, from whom he draws his pay. The school direc? tor shall attend to keeping the house in re? pair and furnishing fuel for the stove. Fourth. Let all towns and cities be consti? tuted into one or more school districts, apart from the county; and where there are high schools let the sc'ool fund pay the tuition in the common school brunches us far as it win go. Filth. Let all public schools commence as soon as possible after the s: .ool meeting in October, bv which means a great many poor people will be enabled to send their children to school in winter and have them at home in the work season. Sixth. Let the County Commissioners ap Eoint a school examiner, whose duty it shall e to subject all persons applying for license to teach to a rigid written examination on the common school branches. He shall also be required to spend one day with each school in the County during the school term. Appeals shall bo from the decision of the trustee to the County examiner, and may be carried from him to the State Super? intendent. I do not claim that this is a perfect plan, but I do think it would be far better than what we now have. And my idea is that this shall apply to the colored people as well as to the white. There shall be sepa? rate schools, but one set of officers for the whole. These ideas may be crude, but if you see fit you may publish them as the ideas of one who has had some years expe? rience as a TEACHER. OTJE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. Mb. Editor: As it has been intimated to ns by the School Commissioner of this County that there will be, in a short time, a Convention of School Trustees and Teach? ers, . called to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning the Legislature to make some needed changes and amend? ments in the free common school system of this State, we would, therefore, very re? spectfully ask your permission to make a few suggestions in reference to what we re? gard as alterations, sufficient in their na? ture to claim the attention and serious con? sideration of our wise and patriotic Legis? lators. The first and most prominent which we shall make, is a more elevated standard of education in our public schools ; and this, evidently, can be attained only through the medium of a higher grade of teachers. And, sir, in saying this we are not to be under? stood as advocating a system of public schools taught entirely by classical teachers. Far be it from us to advocate any such Uto? pian scheme, for we regard the idea that the masses can ever all be given a classical edu? cation as highly chimerical, existing only in the disordered imagination of visionary the? orists, who are never able to reduce any of their proposed schemes to practice. But, sir, we do mean to be understood as advo? cating a system whose teachers, upon ex? amination, shall be found qualified to "fill our present bill" of first grade teachers. We would ask upon what ground can the propriety or necessity of employing a sec? ond or third grade teacher be shown when a sufficient number of first grade f?Echers can at any time be employed to take charge of all our public schools? Is it for the special accommodation of certain indi? viduals, keeping up a system of favoritism, in order to enable Mr. A's wife's great un? cle's third cousin's son to get a position as teacher in the public schools because for? sooth he is willing to teach at very low figures ? But, seriously, we cannot perceive that this system can be advocated upon much stronger grounds than this, for it is any thing else but promotive of the true in? terests of education. Where is the induce? ment to cause young men to qualify them? selves for the arduous task of teaching the young idea how to shoot, when superficial smatterers and incorrigible ignoramuses are in many instances employed in preference to them. So general has this custom pre? vailed of late years, that we not unfrequent ly hear the ironical remark: "0 it is not necessary for a man to be a scholar to teach school." Now, sir, permit us to remark that there has nothing been brought to bear since the inauguration of the present system of free common schools that has so injuriously effected it, or that has had one-half the ten? dency to bring it into disrespect, as this tripartite system of teachers. Where is that good old corps of English teachers who stood in solid phalanx and were so highly appreciated in ante bellum days ? Numbered with the things that were their ranks have been, during the last six or seven years, con? tinually undergoing a gradual depletion,, until at present they can scarcely muster a corporal guard. Where, we ask, are those worthy old veterans of "the birch and ferule," who were the only instructors of, perhaps, nine-tenths of the successful busi? ness men of this County? All, all driven out of the school room and to the plow and other like occupations, to give room to a "new issue" of teachers, a large majority of whom should be under some competent teacher, studying Webster's spelling book, or else abandon the idea of teaching and go to the plow. Hence, it can be seen at a glance why our system of common schools, which we had before the war, has been broken up, giving us in its place a system of one-horse schools all over the country, presided over and taught by incompetent teachers, because competent teachers, knowing their own worth, can not and will not teach at wages ranging in many instances from .$5 to $1U per month. In the second place, we would suggest that the trustees of each school district be paid a reasonable amount of money out of the school fund each year for their services ren? dered. Let them be inducted into office by taking an oath to perform fuithfully ana truly their whole duty, as may be prescribed by law. Make it their bound duty to yisit euch school in their respective school dis? tricts at least once every month. And in order to detect and prevent any fraud that might be attempted by any teacher, the day-book of every teacher should be closely but carefully examined, taking a memoran? dum of the number of duys euch child has attended school, together with the number of the school district in which the parent of the child resides. Take the name of the parent or guurdiun. Then the number of days thut euch child attends should be mul? tiplied by the per diem rate which the teacher may be ullowed, und bunded over to the parent, so thut it can be clearly seen whether the teacher has given due credit for all public funds received. And for the fail? ure of any trustees to perform his duty us required by law, let there be a penalty an? nexed so as to insure his performunce. And in the lust place let the schools be opened on the first Monday in January of each year, and kept open in each school dis? trict until all the funds shull have been ex? hausted. W. H. Every Week!

No other medicine in the world was ever given such a test of its curative qualities as Boschee's German Sybup. In three years two million four hundred thousand small bottles of this medicine was distributed free oj charrjcby Druggists in this country to those afflicted with Consumption, Asthma, Croup, severe Coughs, Pneumonia and other diseases of the throat and lungs, giving the American people undeniable proof that German Syrup will cure them. The result has been that Druggists in every town and village in the United States are recommend? ing it to their customers. Go to your Drug? gists, Simpson. Reid & Co., and ask what they know about it. Sample Bottles 10 cents. Regular size 75 cents. Three doses will relieve any cose. Now and Th\.i. It is only now and then that such men as Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, Ex-Gov. Smith and Ex-Gov. Brown, of Ga., endorse a med? icine for the throat and lungs, and when they do it is pretty good evidence that the remedy must be good for the cure of coughs, colds and lung affections. They recommend the Globe Flower Cough Syrup, and their testimonials are to be seen round the ten cent sample bottles of the Globe Flower Syrup, for sale by SIMPSON, REID & CO.
