The Peabody Fund and the Schools.
Thme withdrawal of the Peabody
Fund from the schools in South Caro
l ina has caused serious emubarrassmnact
in certain quarters. The trustees In
their wi'sdom, Instead of helping
schools, are maintaining a tbw pupils
ini the Normal school at Nashville and
at H ampton, while whole schools
fomeirly aided by them are inm troublhe.
The Howard school, in Columbia,
with seven hundred colored pupils1, Is
complled to close after tour months
unless the citizens support it by pri
vato I\amds. While we hope aid will
bo given cheerndlly by the people of
Columbia to this institution, we
c'annmot but think that six hundred dol
lam's coul be much bet ter invested in
this school than in sending a do0zen
colored pupils to Hlampton, Virginia,
to learni how to teach. While new
mneth*ods are needed, it is nevertheless
true that good schools will always se
eureogood teachers, and It is muich
better to equip a school and then trust
to securing a competent instructor
thani to spend all the money on one
teachdrw wIth no special assurance that
lhe will get a tirst class school, or be
- competent to teheh one when lhe l(eaves
the Normal schmool. There are thirty
county towns exclusive of' Charleston,
Columbia and Gireenvihle, and It is
~j;V; needless to say that a teacher of' ac
knowledged ability can be ibund to

wybtween the towns tlmt- would do

school. What South Carolina needs
is money, not tealters. Leaving out
other Institut:ons, wo vont,nrue f1'eely
to say that the theory of practico antd
teaching can be learned as thoroughly
In the schools of Charlestoo as in simi
Jar schools in the North, while the
only way to turn to practical advant
age money set apart for teachers, is to
open a Normal school in this State. A
Normal selool in Columbia would he
tomect.hling pranctical, because it might.
educate teachers by the 11ilies or hun.
dreds. But to spend the mnoney in
sending a dozen or so pupils to' i
Normal school in another State is a
waste of money. It will take two
years to graduato at pupil in tho Nash
ville Normal school, and then he will
not have tho experience or abilit.y of
tutube's of teachers who have been
plrotmiletlt in the pro'8fSion for years.
Or, to put these tlfleent graduates,
assuming that they are experts, to
teaching country schools at thirty dol
lars a month For three monlths in the
year, would be another instniiee of
yoking l'egasus to the plow. Since
the Peabody trulstees are determined
to devote the fund to the preparation of
teachers, Ihero should at least be a
Normal school in the State, or, until
that. is totlcled, the tlonov should he
applied to the establishlot ot' teach
ers' Institutes or training schools in
the dilli'rent cuttntis firl at hiast, a
month during the suttmer.
Winnsboru took the bull by the
horns and 1evi'ed a local tix, so that.
tIhe withdrawal of the Peabody Kund
did not cripple her schools, although
to sontme extent dimlilshing the futid.
But in ot-he' loclaliit's this withd awal
has dlone more harm to the system than
can possibly be counteracted by the
establishlent" of i few scholarships in
Nashville and lampton, Virginia.
At present, we are sdrrv to say, the
l'eabody Fund is not doing South
Carolina much good. It is true that
Dr. Sears, in behalf of the trustees,

But his ofier has not, been acted upon.
