don’t want a cobbler to make our
from the Covington ■•Enterprise of
October 6th: During our late court-
week our State School Commissioner,
Prof. G. J. Orr, delivered an address
on our public schools that has deserv
edly attracted some attention. We
shall not let the occassion thus affor
ded pass without speaking our senti
ments ou the subject. Wc begin by
quoting a sentence from the London
Spectator of Sept. 9tli. The editor
says that “ the great Republican ex
periment, though it has succeeded
socially, has produced none of the
effects in increasing the intellectual
and political resources of mankind,
which from so great an experiment
in political equality might have been
and was expected.” Standing as a
spectator in his relations to us, we
would naturally expect him to speak
because be would necessarily
speak dispassionately and unpreju
dicedly 'Standing as we do in the
midst of the affair the truth of his
assertion appeals to us with peculiar
force. It matters not how accurate
aud beautiful the theory of the sys
tem so fur as wc from actual contact
with the people, and not from official
statement, have been able to learn,
our free schools are a failure and the
appropriations made to them are al
most totally useless expenditures.
We are not prepared to say that in
every ease this failure arises from
incompetency on the part of the
teachers, or rather we are prepared
to say it does not. Ilowbeit in some
of the counties of the State we know
public-school teachers who are as per
fectly unfit for the positions they oc
cupy as they well can be. We wish
we could get some werd, or words,
that would accurately express their
defiei<pic.y and consequent inefficien
cy.
We think this will be found to be
the invariable case, wherever a
school has been purely a ‘public
school it has failed. Wc say purely
a public school to distinguish them
from those schools where the tuition
is paid in part by the State and in
part by the parents.
The State must make its school 0{>-
crations in this Hue more ample or
they will l>y the inevitable laws of
cause and effect grow less so thau
now. Poor teachers can’t,, do chil
dren any good—they can do them
great damage. They can put ideas
in their heads that arc totally false.
We absolutely knew in one of the
counties of the State, a teacher in the
public schools who believed the
earth was flat. Good teachors
not be had for the small pay that the
public school teachers get. The
price of teaching like the price of ev
cry other commodity is graded by
the quality. The price that the
State is paying nmv is just about
able to command an article which
the cotton buyers would class ‘good
ordinary,’ which is below * low mid
dlings.’ If we may be permitted to coin
a term whiclqyou wijl understand, we
willsay sub-low-middlings. But grant
ing that tliis price is high enough, a
good teacher doesu’t want a place
that puly la$ts three months. That
would , do very well Jf during that
time his stomach could go unfed and
his body unclothed. But in this
country, meals three times a day is as
little as we think we can do on, and
then wc never will agree to adjourn
the questiou of raiment to any very
distant future. ‘ Wearing fine linen
and -faring sumptuously every day’
now and will always be an interest
ing thought. The man who will
take these places will be farmers who
can labor on their farms until ‘ lay
ing by time ’ and then pay for the
pulling of their fodder and the pick
ing of their cotton by these mcagree
school-salaries and perhaps have
litttle net profit. Now if there
anything that we know by our own
reason is true it is that just any
man ean’t teach school. The man
who succeeds at anything must be
the man who makes Jthat his pro
fession. A man to make shoes has
to learn the trade. Shoeing the
mind for the tramp of life is a harder
Clarice Ooyuafcy.
cobblers to teaclvthp children of the
country. One of the great evils of
our conntry is that we have so many
teachers and so tew professional
teachers. Even our best teachers
are young men who having gradua
ted are teaching to make money
enough to put them into seine other
profession. Teaching is made a step
ping-stone to something better. But
granting the very best teachers
could be obtained, good teachers
couldn’t accomplish anything in n
three-months session where, as a gen
eral thing the children stay at home
about two days out of every five.
We have known boys who at
tending the public schools had
studied arithmetic ns many as five
session^ which covered five years of
their lives, and had never gotton fur
ther than vulgar fractions.
Whatever may be the theory, the
public schools are poor in practice.
It is our opinion that the voters who
patronize them would prefer that the
money appropriated to them be ap
propriated to the payment of the
public debt. For our own part wc
wish a good English education were
given to every citizen but we are de
cidedly of the opinion that the public
schools as they are will never do it.
For one we wish the proceeds of the
Western and Atlantic Rail Road for
one year ($300,000) were given to
the University at Athens or even for
two years it were given as a perma
nent endowment. A State Universi
ty with a $600,000 endowment
would be no rolling stone and would
certainly gather moss.
But men are ready to sav that to
pay the public debt with the school
fund or to appropriate a part of it to
the University wou'd be unconstitu
tional. All we have to say is the
Constitution is a creature and may
be amended in part or totally substi
tuted by another instrument.
