The following is from Abbeville Tl'lo Medium and whs handed us with a request for publication : The State in a recent editorial expressed certain views concerning public schools similar to what we have entertained aud made public for several years. The State affirms that there is dissatisfaction witli tho system both in tho north and in tho south. The work is superficial and spreads instruction "over all creation and wot over six inylwjs deep in any place." We have *aid beforo this that n wiiole generation of children haw been ruined by the modern system of cramming. Too many hooks are required and teachers of this day assign lessonH of such length us to be beyond human capacity. Spell ing is neglected and few are taught to read or write correctly. The fad about vertical handwriting has done irreparable injury to thousands of young people. Every editor in this Statu knows the insufficient training their cor respondents generally have lind from their etyle of composition. This deficiency cornea from lack of thorough instruction in the elemen tary branches. The north is returning to few books and thoroughly training and the south should not be behind in this movement. The first step should be to employ teachers who have some common sense and judg ment and who will lie qualified and willing to explain and teach in-, stead of merely hearing recitations.

At the words, "That thou vouch safe* to give eternfil reat to all fie faithful departed," the bishop stood up, and, in a clear yoice, said : " That thou vouchsafe to cleanse and bless thin church and altar erected to thy honor and to the name of tho sacred hear', we beseech thee to hear us."
