Ma. Esrros: Freiing u dwp interest in th? ce usc of ocomos rchcol education in the State, I cravo tho uso of your columna to offer a few suggestions to our lcgislatora Sn Columbia. Ii la a notorious faa that the common school system as administered foi the last few yeats under Radical rule was a misera ble failure, bcnefilting nobody except tho thieves who handled the swag. Ami it ia -".nutted, I believe, that tho system will have to be re-organired and placed upon a soiid and useful basis. Now, what is thc best plan to accomplish tho end in view ? I think that some plan like ?he following mijri't help to secure thc object sought. I int. Livide all the townships intoschool districts of an equal number of square miles, (bay four.) and let tlu> Kt?o.c build a Behool house and furnish it with suitable desks, the school house to be built as near the centro as possible, and heated by means of a stove placed in the centre of the building. Second. Let there be elected by tho quali fied electors of each township a trustee, who shall be a bonded otlieor, and have charge of all school matters pertaining to the town ship, and who shall receive a per diem und 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 I und bridges in his township. He should make an annual re]>ort on the schools to thc County School Commissioner, who shull be hts superior. He should make au annual report to thc County Commisioners on matters connected with roads and bridges, und account to them foro// moneys expend ed for ull purposes. Third. 1'he township trustee shall appoint a aclu ol director for each school district, ami it shall be the duty of the director to call a meeting of the voters in Iiis school district on the first Saturday in October of each year to elect a teacher for the ensuing term ; and tho teacher c-ltx-l aimil enter into a written contract with the towuship trustee, from whom lie draws his pay. The school direc tor shall attend to keeping the house in re pair and furnishing fuel for the stove. Fourth. I^ot ull towns and cities be consti tuted into olin or more school districts, upart from thc county; ami where there are high schools let thc school fund pay the tuition in the common school brunches as far as it will go. Filth. Let all public schools commence as soon as possible uftcr the school meeting in October, by which means a great many poor people will bc enabled to send their children to school in winter and have them at home in the work season. Sixth. Let the County Commissioners ap Coiut a school examiner, whose duty it shull e to subject all persons applying for license to teach to a rigid written examination* on the common school branches. He shall also bo required to spend one day with each school in tiie County during the schooi terni. Appeals shull bo from tho decision of the trustee to thc County examiner, und 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 iden is thut this shall apply to the colored people as well as to the white. There shall be sepa rate schools, but ono set of officers for the whole. These ideas may bc crude, but if you sec lit yon may publish thom us the ideas of one who hus hud some years expe rience os a TEACH EU. OU Ii PUBLIC SCHOOL 8YSTEM. MB. EOITOII: As it hos 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 thc free common school system of this State, wo would, therefore, very re 8_>ect fully ask your permission to make a few suggestions in reference to what we re gard as alterations, sufllicient in their nu ture to claim tlie attention and serious con sideration of our wise and patriotic Legis lators. Tho first and most prominent which wo shall make, is a more elevated standard of education in our public schools ; und 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 adv?calo any such uto pian scheme, for we regard the idea thnt the masses can ever all be given a classical cdu catic*] as highly chimerical, existing Only iii tho disordered imagination of visionary the orists, who arc never able to reduce any of their proposed schemes to practice. But, sir, we do mean to he understood as advo cating a system whose teachers, upon ex amination, shu!! be found qualified to "nil our present bill" of first grade teachers. Wc would ask upon what ground can thu prenriety or necessity of employing a sec ond oi -third grade teacher bo shown w':en a suhicient number of first gnuie teachers can at any time be employed to take charge of ull our public schools? la it for tho spec.al 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 ficher in tho public schools because for sooth ho ia willing to teach ut very low figures ? But, seriously, wc cannot perceive that this system can ho advocated upon much stronger grounds than this, for it is any thing else but promotivo of the true in terests of education. Where is the induce ment to cause young mon to qualify them selves for the arduous task ol' teaching tho young idea how to shoot, when superficial i-mutterers and incorrigible ignoramuses ore in many instances employed in preference to them. So general has this custom pre vailed of lat? years, that we not unfrcquent ly hear the ironical remark : "O it ia not necessary for a mun to bu a scholar to teach school." Now, sir, permit ns to remark that there hus nothing been brought to bear since tho inauguration of tho present system of freo common schools that has so injuriously elfeoled it, or that has had one-halt the ten dency io bring it into disrespect, os this tripartite system of teachers. Where is that good old corps of English teachets who stood in solid phalanx and were so highly appreciated in ante bellum days ? Numbered with thc things that were their ranks nave been, during tue lust six or seven years, con tinually undergoing a gradual depletion, until at present they can scarcely muster a corporal guard. Where, we ask, aro those worthy old veterans ol "the birch and ferule, who were thu only instructors of, perhaps, nine-tenths of the successful busi ness men of this County ? All, ull driven out of the school room and to the plow and other liko occupations, to give room to a "new issue" of teachers, a large majority of whom should be under sumo competent teacher, studying Webster's spelling book, or else abandon the idea of teaching and go to thc plow. Hence, it can he seen ut a glance why our system of common Bchools, which wo bad before ?iie wur, hus been broken up, felVlng us in ita plat-? -t system of one-horse schools all over tho country, presided over und taught by incompetent teachers, because competent teachers, knov%-?:ig their own worth, can not and witt not teach at wages ran.??ng in many instunces from $5 to $10 per month. Jn tho second place, wo would suggest that the trustees of each school district bo paid a n i maible amount of money out of thc school fund each year for their services ren dered. Let them be inducted into office by taking an oath to perform faithfully und truly their whole duty, as may be prescribed by law. Make it their bound duty to visit eacli 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 uny teacher, the day-book of every teacher shouhl bc closely but carefully examined, taking a incmoian dum of tho number of days each child has attended school, together with thc number of Hie school district in which tho parent of tlie child raides. Take the name of tho Sront or guardian. Then the number of ya that each child atteints should bo mul tiplied by the ?ter diem rate which the teacher may bo allowed, and handed over to the parent, so that it can be clearly seen whether tho teacher has given due credit for all public funds received. And for tho fuil urcorany trustees to perform his duty es required by law, let there be u penalty an nexed no aa to insure his performance. And in th?? S?st place let tho schools be opened o>i tho first Monday in Januury of cich year, and kept open in each school dis trict until all tho funds shall linvo been ex hausted. W. IL Every We*k!
