McCONNAUGH BY McELH ANEY At the residence of and by Rev.

R. King at high noon Thursday. May 15th, 1MA It is with sincere modesty that I venture to make a few suggestions in regard to our Union Schools, especially as I feel inclined to partially disagree with both Dr.McSurely and the editor of tho Nkws-Hkrald in their published I believe that tho course of studies to bo pursued in our High Schools thould include at least tho rudiments of the Latin and Greek languages, and should be extended so far as to enablo graduates from our schools to enter the Freshman if not the Sophomore class in any of our, western colleges. The want of ability to receive such instruction at home obliged me a few years since to Bend my eldest son to college at least a year sooner than I would otherwise have done, he entering the Senior Preparatory could he havo received instruction in tho classics here I would have been saved several hundred dollars. I cite this merely as a sample of a number of similar cases.

Now, howovor, by retaining the present curriculum, our graduates aro prepared to enter college a year further along, the parent is saved the additional expenso and the money is not sent away from Hillsboro. I do not, howover, believe it to be ad visable to havo German and French instruction in our schools. The time was when French was the language of the courts of Europe, and the "universal language" of tho civilized world. This is no longer the case. The English language is now the universal language, and the French tongue is rapidly obsolescent.

As to German it will never havo worldwide use until the Germans discard their old black-letter type and adopt the fonts of other nations. It is well enough to attain a knowledge of these two lingos if one has the taste and leisure to study them as accomplishments, but here in the United States wo should not require our school-children to study accomplishments at the public expenso. Tho knowledgo of Greek and Latin, however, is of vast assistance to a correct knowledgo of the English tongue, as tho latter is so very largely composed of words derived from thoso languages. A person having tho meaning of a Latin or Greek word will from that meaning obtain a far more clear and forciblo idea of an English word derived from it than he could possibly otherwise secure He will thus obtain a more vigorous, conciso and clear style in writing and speaking, and by a choice of the most suitable word "clinch" an idea in the minds of others better than can ho who nevor had tho advantage of knowing tho full force of our language through tho study of its sources. Again, if ono wishes to study German, French, Spanish or Italian, ho can lay tho foundation for a knowledgo of these by acquiring first a knowledge of Latin and Greek, for these four, liko English, are to a great extent composed of words derived from thoso dead tongues.

Lot then these tongues be taught at our schools not only to givo the scholars a clearer insight into tho English, but to enablo them if they chooso to be far on tbo road should they wish to acquiro other Europeon languages. I do not believe it advantageous, however, even in our colleges to push the study of tho classics to tho extent to which thoy are pushed in English institutions of learning where scholars must be able to turn out Latin odes and sonnets, or Greek dramas. Such a course of study was desirable when English books were few and the beBt thoughts of tho world lay wrapped in the manuscripts of Greece and Romo. Now tho best thoughts of tho old authors have been translated and embodied into our literature, leaving but the refuse to be raked over, and the laborer is rewarded for his search by little excepting the filth which soiled so much of ancient literary vcrk. Indeed the charter of the Hillsboro Academy requires that its premises shouuld bo occupied only by an institution whero instruction can bo imparted in scientific, classical and other branches of learning such as are ordinarily taught in high schools and academies.

It would bo a violation of tho charter woro tho Instituto building leased for other pur- poses, and as one chief object of tho Board of Education was to offer greater facilities to studonts of the more advanced classes, they were, in my opinion, singularly fortunato in securing this building which is so aptly suited to thoir purposes. While a momber of that Board I was persistently opposed to the admission of non-resident pupils, on tho grounds that they occupied time of the teachers that should bo devoted exclusively to our own pupils and that no tuition paid by them would compensate for the loss of that time. During the last year of my service every member of the Board was of the same opinion. New, however, I believe that, with the additional room, inducements might be offered to pupils from abroad to enter our schools. and a rovonue be obtained from them sufficient to pay in full the salary of at least ono teacher in the High School department, thus lightening our taxation, increasing the efficiency ot our schools and bringing money to Hillsboro, I agree with the editor of the News-Hkkald that tqomuch in taught in our lT8UPERI0RQ Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY THE BEST.

If I wero to control the schools I would turn out every "tot" under ten or eleven years at noon each day, or else let them attend only in tho afternoons and make mud pies, chase chipmunks and play marbles tho rest of tho day.

I would pay moro attention to their bodies than to their minds, and to tho teachers of the higher rooms I would say, "take your pupils out to tho woods and fields now and then, let them learn there from tho book of Nature that grand old book which never gets dog-cared or grtasy lot them study plant and rock and tree, and breathe God's air and bathe in his sunshine. Tho knowledge thus gained will stay by them through life, and they will return to their rooms and books moro ready to appropriate and retain tho learning they set before yoa." Socrates and Plato and the philosbphets of olden days taught by the wnysido and among tho haunts of Nature; our word "academy" indeed is derived from tho grovo of Acadomus, in which PlaJo walked and talked with his disciples. Greater truths than wero uttered by these fell from tho lips of tho carpenter's son among tho mountains of Judea or by tho Sea of Galilee book learning Is dcsirablo, but I would minglo with it instruction in tho greatest and best of volumes, whoa? pages aro open and filled with exhaustless stores of knowledge. As to reducing the salaries of teachers in tho interest of economy I would never economize at tho expenso of tho child, ren. Cheap teachers should bo ruled out.

Buy "cheap" clothing, "cheap" buggies, "cheap" labor, "cheap" land if you like, but do not tamper with young minds by putting them in training under cut price teachers. Pay good, liberal salaries for good instructors. It will pay. Their minds will bo moro relieved from care, and they can thus givo moro attention to their work. They, will bo encouraged to labor for something moro than mere money.

Above all thoy will feel that thoy aro appreciated, and that will tend to stimulate Ithera to their highest effort. But for poor teachers no salaries. If they will not fit themselves (or tlielr work let tnem dig or bog or starve rath er than taint tho minds of the yeung witli false ideas, falso training and perhaps pernicious morals. In this connection I am glad to bo able to mention tho action ol our present Board of Education in recognizing tho worth of several of our teachers by an increase of their salaries. A liberal view of educational matters will never result inlofcsto a community.

Money judiciously expended in this way is on investment which will bring enormous interest in aftor yoars. Especially am I gratified in tho recognition of tho valuo as a teacher of Prof. W. J. Truesdale, which shows that tho Board appreciates tho desirability of instruction in the classics, of which ho has principal charge, as well as tho advantage derived by pupils from contact with dignified, refined gentleman of scholarly attainments and thorough devotion to his work.

But I havo perhaps occupied too much of your space ia expressing my opinions, formed mainly during tho period of my official connection with our schools. My sole excuse will bo the great interest I have felt and still feel in tho educational matters of our community. H. S. F.

Tho School Boards of tho different townships, with few exceptions, mado thesamo levy for school purposes as last year. Two townships, Now Market and Ikushcrtek, increased tho allowance to tho district. Concord and Salem mado a slight reduction. Washington cut off tho levy for its two months' spring school, and Dodsonvillo levied for a six months' school instead of seven. In tho other townships, with tho exception of Paint, the levies remain tho same.

This is in harmony with the cousel of the Nor-mal and Collegian. Wo aro' glad to see that what llttlo economy was needed fell on tho springschool. Tho school is safe in tho hands of the farmer.

Fullerton in regard to our public schools in Hillsboro. No very serious objection to tho viows of tho Doctor can be offered, save tho position taken In regard to salaries. Wo hold that tho remuneration paid to tho instructor of our children should bo regulated by the financial condition of tho times, just as tho remuneration for service in other callings is regulated. If the purchasing power of tho dollar becomes greater than when tho salary was established, then the teacher Bhould receive a less number of them if itshould become less then the teacher is entitled to greater number. This wo would call a common sense business view of tho subject.

It may not bo an educated or moral view of tho subject, but it cortainly ia a business view. We havo studiously avoided saying anything on tho subject in regard to morals. We have offered an argument over Mr. Detwiler's shoulders in a financial way, that had morula or tho matter of qualification been tho objectivo point Mr. Detwiler could not havo been mentioned, for no man in this whole community stands higher as a moral man or as an accomplished penman than L.

Detwiler. But wo submit that tho advocacy of morals or of superior qualifications at this time is a begging of tho question as at first propounded. Tho position of tho was and is, that tho financial state of tho country demands retrenchment, and wo wero unable, and still are, to seo that tho School Board of Hillsboro should bo exempted from these conditions.

Miss Emma Chance, after four years of most efficient sorvico as a teacher in the Leesburg schools, has been employed by the Hillsboro Board of Education for tho ensuing year.

Miss Chance had soveral years' experience teaching in tho schools of Clinton county, whero sho did good work and attained high standing in her profession. She has given excellent satisfacjion here. Tho standing of pupils in her department of tho Leesburg schools is a sufficient endorsment of her work. Wo havo probably never had a moro. efficient or pains-tnking teacher than Miss Chanco.

Whilo her loss is to bo regretted sho is to bo congratulated on securing a position whero her merit is likoly to bo rewarded by deserved promotion, nnd Hillsboro is to bo congratulated upon securing tho services of so efficient a teacher. Although repeatedly salicitod to apply for a position in tho schools for tho ensuing year, sho preferrod to try a position in a larger place and could not bo induced to remain. R. As my department of school work has so increased that during tho coming year it will necessarily demand my en-tiro timo and attention I will sell my Btoro one of tho largest trades in school books and school supplies in tho county, and one of the most desirable business stands in Hillsboro.
