Registered as Skconh-ci.ash matter at TH B SAVANNAH Post OFFICE. SATURDAY MARCH 31, 1888 On account of the crowded state of onr columns several important communications were unavoidably left out. A failure to nominate Sherman is well nigh impossible, from the the fact of the unaminity of the Re publicans all over the countiy. We regret having to record the intelligence of the death of the mother of A. W. Burnett Esq., edi tor of the Atlanta Defiance. Wa sympathize with our friend in his great loss. Thb Atlanta Defiance for a pro hibition organ '‘puffs” the liquor saloons of that city more to the square inch than any other journal in the State. Brothers why not let your example follow your precepts. The People’s Advocate states that Rev. J. Milton Turner, Exmin ister to Liberia is not averse to ac cepting',his old mission. Well! Rev. Turner has done well in the past, and there is no reasons that he would not be equal to the task in the future. The Columbus Messenger states that a company of the leading col ored men of that city will soon open one of the largest boot and shoe emporiums in the South. The Tri bune wishes them success in their enterprise and hope that Savannah will emanulate their example. We have received t* copy of the proceedings of the consultation con- • vettion of colored men recently held in Macon, Ga. Every color* d man and woman who value their rights and have any regard tor their future welfare should obtain a copy and read it carefully. The price is only ten cents, w ich goes ro p< yitig the expenses of printing &c. Stir yourselves brethren and send 10 cents to the Tribune office and wo will order them tor you. A Conference of a number of the clergy and laitx of the Episco pal Diocese of South Carolina have agreed ut>on a plan of settlement for the admission of colored clergy to the diocesan convention of that State, which has caused so serious , a disagreement in the Episcopal I Church. The plan provides for the ■ organization of a separate mission- I ary jurisdiction for colored churches. ■ A proposition for an amendment of I the canons and rules will be submit- 9 ted for action to the next diocesan I convention. It “CHURCH AND STATE” Our attention was called by Sup erintendent Baker on hist Saturday to hu article in the Tribune of tins city under the above caption. The article in question states that we • said that “The public school teach ers are incompetent,” This does not quote us accurately. We do not know where the gentlemen of the Tribune got their spurious informa tion, nor did we ask them, nor will we ask them. We have too much respect for them to supoose for a moment that the}’ assailed and mis quoted us without some source of supposed reliable information. We are a Iriend to the paper and mean to be mid we will be mote charitable than to suppose them Brutus like ; yet they might have interviewed us about it that they might have known for themselves. There were two ‘■public school teachers” at our chu'« h on that Sunday. It thev ear i <1 tlfib infer nat o i. tin ir ho r ing i> cither impaired, their tnemorv at fault, they have bad heart , their trtt>gue< are wild, they think they are 4he only public “school teach- f eis ’ih Georgia or tnev are incom petent. In either case our “serious chare*” is sustained against them H-* d'-'l not sav that “The pub’ir school teachers are incou petenl" but wedhl say “some of them” are, and we propose to stand by what wo have said, and if we are drawn out, we will say more and that not without effect, and a little more personal. It was children’s day at our church—we preached from the text, “First seek ye the kingdom of God” <fcc., <fcc. tinder the first head, discussing the “First thing to do,” we said that the foundation of a noble life was the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ. Here we drift ed into an incidental discussion of “First principles”—Then we said, that in order to be an accurate scholar, that we must understand “First principles.” That it. was too generally thought among us, that any body who could read and write and translate a few Greek or Latin sentences could teach. That many among ns were teaching from favor itism and that many who are teach ing have no special liking, calling, or aptitude for teaching, but that they ar® just teaching for what money’ they can make out of the business. That many of them did not, themselves, comprehend the “First principles.” That all such, we would break up if we had a fol lowing. Now, if these, good friends, .vlio carried the information, had known h nglis'.i Grammar,they would have known the difference between “Many of the public school teach ers” and “The publi school teach ers of Savannah.” Superintendent Baker assured us that if we could point out the incompetent ones that lie would expel them. We would politely inform him, that he find out the reporters of this affiir, it they are teachers, he has a clear case of incompetency. Let the ex pulsion follow in rapid succession and we should not wond -rtosee our streets graced once more by two lovely teachers, gloriously emancipated from the irksome and over matched labors of the school • oom. We say, however, in self defense that We did not refer to at y particular p'ace, nor did we exclude .my place —We spoke in general We have no objection, however, to ibe application some have made. We suppose they understood what they were doing—We, ourselves, made no application. The applica tion is theirs because they are the application. Superintendent Baker said he was going to send two f his male teachers after us—Up to this writing they have not come and we elinl! save our thunder until then, when we will have a lively time. We have no objection to this when the public good is concerned, ('here is a side to this ‘•Church and ''late” matter that we did preset)' that the informers left our. We think it Im t worst thin that about which they complained; but, we nave heard no;lung about that. We tie of the decided opinion that, the patrons should have their say aS to who teach their children. That there is perfect satisfaction we have our doubts. We are a patron jif a public school and have been for years. We have taught public school for years and can present testimonials from some of the best men in the State—Since this is true and since we have nothing against any body teacher or other wise, we think we might be sworn in as a juror. Superintendent Baker ex tended us an invitation to the next teachers examination stating that he would arrange the questions—That is, we believe, his official duty, but as we are his invited guest, we think we might be allowed to ask a few questions. If annual examina tions ar® had, it might be well too, to take into consideration the accur acy of the taught, as there may be some truth in the saying “Like priest, like people.“ We say again tn at We. had no particular “Public school teachers” in our mind. But since propping is indicative of weakness, it might be well to ex amine the building. We h ire to I e drawn into a controversy on this subject as we do not want to invite the displeasure of “their si-ters and their motlieis and their cousins a id i their aunts and tbe.r sweethearts”i Kat her than do this, we w ill hn-h ■ and settle our grieveuee, if such wc| Inve, by sending our children torn private school. Indeed, this may I be well tor tiiose of our people who can ail >rd it. to do Hoy how; then they could have som® say in tli M, ri children's educatin' • Were the nothing to complain of. anv whet*, the tunny scholars and the yrvsil rush make it n -.\t io imp s ib|« tm the little ones to get justice or tliej large ones to get proper attention.! Besides, we have learned that many j children of our people can not get I accommodation in these public ’ schools for want of room. Surely 1 something ought to be done about this. We have not the shadow of ’ a doubt that any teacher who is ; competent to teach will take issue t with us. If any of the sensible { teachers had heard our statement, ’ we are sure we would have received t a hearty shake of the hand and ( compliments. Professor Baker 1 agreed with us when we told him what we said. Indeed any body but a novice will agree with us. There is plenty of room for an at tack, if we should even feel to make it local. It is possible that it there were annual examinations that the public good would be conserved since it would secure better teach ers and better work. A young and inexperienced girl,scarcely blushing into woman hood, who has just fin ished, perhaps, not too accurately, a normal course, and has no more judgment than to take exception at a general statement and set about to injure her Pastor in the public mind by mistatements, if she is com petent to be a member of the church she is hardly competent to teach. Thank God many heard what we said and will endorse this statement. We have no fears, let them show their, hand and we will see. More Anon. E. K. Love CALL FOR A REPUBLICAN DIS TRICT CONVENTION.
