EDUCATIONAL COLUMN. All uoiumunlcnlloits liiioiulod tor this column elnml'1 lio uililri'Hs-t'il to J. II. O'.N. Ilolloway, Kbtj., \ylio hau klr.dly coiiBcntod lo edit it. A Stato University. Tlic subject of lite rc-cstablishmcnt of tlie State University is attracting the.attention oi' the press of the Stale, ami many arc the ponderous leaders ,t.b at goto dis'.root the mind of the public on this question. In our opin ion, we arc unprepared for the Uni versity at present, 'Ihc Slate is not ripe for it. Let us first establish a State system of education, then it will be lime cpougli to talk of the University. Jn eomo parts of our State we have standard schools, and it is because the people in those pluces are intelligent. .On the other hand jt would be difficult to find worse schools in some parts, because jn certain places the ignorance of the people can scarcely find parallel. Wc do not oppose the lC-ccUiblishment of the University, but we would rejoice in the establishment of that system of common school education which would make a State University ncc pssary. It seems lo lie folly to make a head without having a body on which lo put it. Educate our people byi supplying Iheir immediate de mands, ami this will form an enlight ened public sentiment that will clam or loudly for the means ol higher ed ucation. Let us have high grade colleges, ami let them act as feeders lo this University. Let Ihc common school supply the college, and we wjll have a grand old system that will redound lo the honor of our people, and will be ihc bulwark against the inroads of dishonesty, corruption and all the crimes of which ignorance is the mother. }Vo have not loom in our short compass I to discuss this subject as freely nci we would like, but we tell our people, that this question will soon be decided. Nothing should be feared from ils rc*cslublishincnl? this talk of aristocratic, high blood js only from the lips of those shallow brained worthies who arc opposed to education in any shape or form. We desire universal education. Nothing to-day is so imperatively demanded. All,oilier questions sink into insignifi cance, and until we face this fact, and nel upon it, all political revolutions, and Democratic ascendency will avail us nothing. This question is para mount. It is not particularly the Uni ycrsity we want established but uni versal education, graded, guided, con trolled, and paid lor by the Slate. Then, and not till then, may we ex ? pent our State lo take its stand of cinipcncp among her bister common wealths. The Remedy. What with our strikes, financial (.roubles, civil service reforms so call ed, and political exposures, many of our political economists are sadly troubled in seeking out the cause and applying the remedy. Some call lor n stionger government, others free trade. What is Ihc disease and what the remedy ? 'We aio sick, that's cer tain. Now we think the true [dan will'be to call in Dr. Common Sense, submit the whole ease lo his diagno sis and take the pills he ieaves, ilia remedy will'no sure and effective? honest heaits with cultivated brains. ]t would astonish the world lo see how rapidly the body politic would recover H" the old Doctor'>> prescrip tions should he faithfully followed. In a lew weeks the fall session of most of our schools will open. Will pot the teachers be kind enough to let us hoar from them on their open ing?the number of pupils, the mode of instruction adopted. Giy?, us the. norms On si postal if nothing more, and we will put them in shape. We are nnxiotts 16*get at the educational ..fttutus; of our county, and we know of no one wl|o can furnish the desired iur formation but the teachers themselves. fJr- o us the dots. We are in dead earnest as the mule said when he had J-aken his last grab. Wy. are gratified lb witness the in terest manifested on the subject of educating Ihc, masses by the [people throughout the Stale. They are be ginning to realize its great magnitude in shaping the. inlere.dn of our coun try; These disctjssjons e|iow thai, the people arc not asleep, and that Ihey will not be remiss in such tin im portant duty hereafter. Keep it alive. Wk have received mi interesting note from "Enquirer," but without the name of ihc writer. The Dr.MO pUAT says we eati'L publish articles without the name of the author ac companies, and we can't deviate f rom this rule.
