JUSTICE.
Mr. Editor: In yonr article, this morn
ing, on “Education” yon way : “The Trus
tees might change some of tho white
teachors to advantage, for to our own
. knowledge soino nre not competent.”
f There nre twelve white teachers in the
Public Schools. It is cruel and unjust to
make a charge of this kind, which boars
with indirect yet equal pressure upon
oncli one. *If there are any incompetent
ones, name them, and relievo tho bolanco
of the odium of tho charge. Give the
proofs of tho incompetency, and if they
aro found to be sufficient, the Trustees
will not hesitate to discharge, and put
othors in their place.
You will observo that you use tho words
of “yonr own lmowlodge.” This gives
. additional force to your charge. But ns
you have never visited the hoys’ school,
1 and ns your visits to tho girls’ school havo
boon so hasty it was impossible to make
any observations on tho competency of
tho teachers, the question occurs—How
can you, of your own knowledge, know
anything about tho matter ? Unless you
possess Romo innate, instinctive know-
• ledgo on this subject, some peculiar suk>
jj ccptihility to impressions, some special
r 't insight into the capnoity of others, I must
R think that your words wore not advisedly
used, and that your information has been
derived from others. Of this kind of in
V formation, no one should better under-
A Rtaud its unreliability than yourself. Con-
% corning schools, it usually comes
exaggerated, prejudiced form from the
scholars ; angered parents condemn the
teacher unheard, and repeat tho story,
end thus there aro floating about concern
■ ing all schools, tales, which havo as little
| foundation as “Mother Goose’s Stories.'
Tho writer of thi* lias been a teacho
f for twenty yoars ; for tho last seven he
has boon connected with the Publ
!; Schools of Columbus; during all this
time he has visited many schools North
and South; his entire time has boon de
voted to lus profession, studying meth
ods, books nml persons, and ho here as
serts that the Public Schools of Columbus
are tho equals in nil respects of any simi
lar one* lie has everseon; that some of
the touchers, in their special positions, ho
has never seen surpassed. Ho does not
mean to Ray that the teachers nre perfect,
or that some of them do not possess
rious faults, or that their com Re in certain
cases did not justify some parents in tnk-
ing away their children. But these fatil
Iy teachers, in spite of their faults, aro
good teacliors. Against these teachers
& you doubtless could got certificates. But
.W they could get many more to prove their
competency. As an editor cannot sat
isfy all, but mtuy will think he is in
competent and demand another papor, so
| each school will have its objectors, some
fcU- of thorn justly so, who will be changing
j| : from one school to another. Teachers
aro like editors; they act indiscreetly
foolishly at times, yet they have much to
try their patienco. Is it any wonder that
it sometimes gives way ? If an editor
gets tired of trying to change public sou
tiraeut, but raisos up a host of enemies,
who so bar mss him as to make him re
gret his coming, the teacher, in a loss con
spicuous but equally responsible position,
may find some comfort in knowing that ho
is trying to do light, aud that others como
in to share with him tho reproaches
which it seems of necessity must come.
Borne of yonr strictures concerning tho
colored schools, such ns the want of suit
able rooms and appliances, are just. These
matters havo been considered from time
to time by tho Board, but as yet without
visible rosults. In other matters your
, criticisms show that you are not acquaint
ed with the fucts. While it may be true
that “the negro children in the city com.
pare with tho whiles as three to five,” and
, even in a greator proportion, for the last
city census gave 1,277 whitos and 1,171
blacks from (5 to 18 years of age, yet
is not true that tho proportion of regular
attendance boars anything like the same
ratio. Tho lulo is to give fifty scholars to
a teacher in tho primary department
and forty each in the grammar and high
schools to a teacher. The principal
figures as you havo given them, aud to
which yon object, aro $(5,1100 for white
and $1,500 for tho colored Rchools.
This gives tho white schools four
and one-fifth times as much money
as tho colored schools. But when it is
known that you made a mistake in tho
superintendents salary, and that you neg
lected to call attention to tho fact that
nearly every colored child is in the prima
ry department and that a large proportion
of tho white children aro in the grammar
schools and many of them in tho high
school, and that these departments cost
higher proportionately than the primary,
it will appear that tho injustice of which
on complain has about disappeared.
Tho truth is, the trustees are trying to
economize as much as possible. They
started out on no expensive systom, but
kept uddiug to the schools from year
to year such things ns were found to ho
needed. I trust they will do the same thing
with the colored schools. There are no
cheaper Public Schools at tho Southland
ow of none at, tho North. Tho sala-
of tho teachers aro too small. But
public sentiment and tho robbed pockets
of our poeple demanded, it was thought,
this policy.
Tho Public School interests nre presided
rer by eleven representative men of tho
city—men distinguished for integrity and
public worth. It oc urs to mo that one
should well consider his ground before bo
brings such accusation ns you have don©
against thorn.
The schools invito criticism, but when
that criticism has boon showod to be
unjust, fair play demands a rotraotion.
Most truly,
George M. Dews.
October 14, 1871.
What wo said about the teachers, we
stick to; and wo propose to publish lot
terR, aud give facts of our own knowledge,
that will go fo prove what we said about
tho utter incompetency of one teacher nt
least. And now that Mr. Dews hns given
the opportunity, wo intend embracing it,
and speaking candidly. We would not
Rend our children to some of tho teachers
in this city’s public schools, and wo intend
saying why, aud giving names.

Odell, III., October 11.—Some parties
while boring for water, a few days since,
a farm four miles south of Odell,
nod by J. and W. Ilossock, discovered
the presence of gn3 when about forty feet
below tho surface, and when eighty feet
had been reached they struck a vein of
water that spouted two hundred feet into
the air, throwing out gravel tho sizo of
hen’s eggs with tremendous force, aud
covering the ground for several hundred
feet around with sand and gravel six
inches deep. The flow of water continued
until a late hour last night, when it ceasod,
and, upon examination this morning it
was discovered that about ten foot
tho hole was filled down from
tho bottom, with quicksand,
1 a kind of gas was issuing from the
top with such force ns to throw up cou-
idorable grave). There was about thirty
feet of water in the holo. When tho gas
commenced issuing a match was lighted
aud hold over the holo, when instantly a
streak of flatus leaped into tho air, pto-
dtioing a sound liko thunder, that was
heard at a distanco of half a mile. Tho
hole is constantly increasing in size, aud
tho volume of flame is growing lnrger and
more forcible. The gas causes a blueish
color to appear on vegetation for miles
around. Hundreds are flocking, wild with
excitement, to tho wonderful scone, and
gaze, awe stricken, at tho strange phe
nomenon. Various reasons for this sin
gular development of naturo aro being
advanced.
—A praiseworthy feat, of farming by a
boy of fourteen is reported by the Fort
Valley Mirror. Cicero Mims, by his own
labor, raised produce valued at $471.81,
rating it at prices considerably below
those paid hero, lie paid out only $2.50
for labor to help him with his crops,
which consisted of coru, cotton, potatoes,
peas. Ac. He had nineteen acres in cul
tivation. The Mirror docs not say whether
he is a white or colored boy. lie will
couipoto for tho premium for boys’ crops
at the Btuto Fair.
—Tho newest thing in fans is of ostrich
featherR, so arranged as to form a square.
In tho center is a small mirror, surround
ed by imitation pearls. The feathers are
of every color, but the entirely black fans
appear to bo the most fashionable.
A tarty of Dacotah miners who at
tempted to force their way through tho
Sioux reservation to tho Black Hills gold
region, found tho journey rather more
perilous than they had anticipated. They
wore attacked by the Sioux while resting
in a camp near the mouth of the Little
Platte river; three were killed aud a num
ber wounded. Tho survivors returned to
Yankton. ^
—Santa Fo, New Mexico, is situated at
an elevation of more than 7,400 feet
above tho sea level, being about 400 feet
higher than tho top of Mount Washington.
—Frederick W. Seward, who was Asms-
taut Secretary of State during Secretary
Seward's administration in the State De
partment, has boon nominated for tho
Assembly by the Republicans of New York
city.
—It lias been discovered that the joint
ed fishing rod was invented because one
can’t hido a long cauo pole under his coat
Sundays.
