For PRESIDENT
Op tiik United States:
ULYSSES S. CRAW.
[communicated.
the COUNTY MEAL STORE.
Mr. Editor . —We arc informed—using
the language of the recent Qraml Jury—
we are informed that the Judges of the
Inferior Court have it in contemplation to
close up the meal store and issue no more
rations to the poor. They have been led
to this action by the presentments of the
recent well informed Grand Jury.
Do Grand Juries stop to think ? It ap
pears not; for had they inquired into the
merits of what they in their wisdom con
demn, they would have found that the
“widowed and orphaned, by the advice of
the rich and well-to-do,” are now to be
turned out on the highways and byways to
starve. Who promisad the enlisting Con
federate soldiers that their families would
be fad while they were away laying down
their lives for “their country ?” Who has
worked the poor old negro men and
women until now, when they are too old to
help themselves, and then turn them out
on the cold charity of the people repre
sented by the “Grand Juries?'’ We have
seen letters from gentlemen recommending
the bearer to the Inferior Court as being
“destitute, and formerly my slave, but has
too many children!” Oh, gratitude ! oh,
generosity ! And, to crown all, they want
„ the poor, destitute Confederate widow and
orphan, and the poor old slave, turned out
to die. Oh, generous Grand Jury! wise
Grand Jury ! Justice.

THE PEABODY EDUCATIONAL
FUND.
Summary of the recommendations
made by the General Agent in his Report
to the Trustees of the Peabody Education
al Fund, at their meeting held in Rich
mond, Va., January 21,1868. and approved
by them. It was recommended :
1. That in promoting “primary or com
mon school education,” we confine our
selves, as far as possible, to public schools.
2. Instead of supporting small schools
in the country, or helping to support them
by paying the tuition for poor children,
we limit ourselves to rendering aid to
schools where large numbers can be
gathered, and where a model system of
schools can be organized.
3. That, other things being equal, we
give the preference to places which will,
by their example, exert the widest influ
ence upon the surrounding country.
4. That we aim at the power and efficacy
of a limited number of such schools in a
given locality, rather than at the multiplica
tion of schools languished for want of suffi
cient support
5. 'J bat we make efforts, in all suitable
ways, to improve state systems of education,
to act through their organs, and make use
of their machinery whenever they are prof
fered us.
6. That we use our influence in favor of
State National Schools on account of their
superior excellence over National Depart
ments in Colleges and Academies, which
will be overshadowed by the literary and
scientific departments, and fail to win the
regards and excite the enthusiasm of stu
dents, or the interest of the general public.
7. That we give special attention to the
training of female teachers for primary
schools, rather than to the general culture
of young men in Colleges, who will be
likely to teach in the higher schools, for the
benefit of the few. •
8. That in the preparation of colored
teachers, we encourage their attendance at
regular Normal schools, and, only in ex
ceptional cases, at other schools, which
attempt to give Normal instruction.
9. That we favor the appointment and
support of State Superintendents, the forma
tion of State Associations of teachers, and
the publication of periodicals for the im
provement of teachers.
