The Dictiowry In the Schoolroom Brine mtereated in all that jiei-tainK to I In* Hirce#KS and nwfulnms of our pubßc * ‘Vink, we would call the attention of edie ators to the value of early training in the Tine of language and the neal of more thorough inutruction in the knowl jwirro of words. We mean the English language, and for the most part, good old Anglo-Saxon words. We are constrained to believe that in fur too many schools the ability to name words rapidly as they occur in the read ing lesson, in the geography or the his tory is allowed to suffice as the full meas ure of instruction in the department of language, and the pupils thus pass to other fields without the ability to either correctly spell or properly pronounce the words they have used, and with no kn owledge at all of their true significa tion or wealth of meaning. The derivation or history of words as found in the dictionary often oj>ens up a most delightful field tor study and inves tigation, and through this the learner's ambition to attain greater power and flyie-w.v in the use of words might be incited. We believe that the learned man 'ih most dearly distinguished from the ignorant by bis greater command of language and wider klowledge of the power of words. A\ hat better field can there be, then, for the development of a greater usefulness on the part of our public schools than through a larger arid more intelligent study of our own vocabulary? Fortunately we have a standard authority for the meaning and use of English words, a recognized and univer sally conceded court of last resort, an open “Webster,” where are recorded for the use of all, the decisions of the best writers and speakers upon the correct usage of every item that goes to make ur> the beautiful whole of our mother tongue. We believe that our public schools will attain a greater usefulness, and be more successful in teaching language just in the ratio that they send their pupils to the dictionary with more frequency, teaching them to study its record more intelligently and abide by its decisions more steadfastly. It ifeeds no argu ment to prove that every schoolroom should be supplied with a copy of Web ster's Unabridged Dictionary, as the foundation for improved language work. Asa further means to this desirable end, we can make no better recommendation than that every pupil should acquire the habit of constant reference to authority by having at his desk a copy of an abridged edition of Webster, and that every teacher should be competent to give instruction In its proper use. Without disparaging the other abridg ments, we regard Webster's Academic “Dictionary as the best of all for the hourly use of pupils, and when it is re_- jii'Mubercd that its usefulness will survive the pupil’s school days, and in the ab sence of the unabridged, become the family dictionary, it is not too much to ft Y.v that it should be found on the desk of every pupil in our schools above the mof-1 primary grades. I,*i\v Relatiiig to l*ttl>ll3 Schools, jiewuan Herald ! Wo have lmd frequeht inquiries ('dtieevil 1 irtg the operations of the law enacted by the last Legislature revising and chang ing the public school system in this State The impression seems to have obtained that only one school is allowed in a school district, unless the second school should contain as many as twenty-five pupils. This is true in one sense; but the State School Commissioner has inter preted this provision of the law so liber ally and sensibly as to meet every diffi culty that may arise in the organization of schools in the country districts. I nder the ruling of the State School Commis sioner, county boards of education are authorized to establish sub-districts wherever needed, provided the school sought to be established is not nearer than three miles to another school al ready in existence. If anew school is lo cate;! at the proper distance (three miles) from other schools the board will recog nize it and form anew school district so as to embrace it, regardless of the num ber of pupils. Acting under this ruling of the State School Commissioner, this precedent has already been established in Coweta county, several sub-districts hav ing been*formed to accommodate locali ties that could not furnish the twenty five pupils required for the organization of a s<*eond school in a district.

The Agricultural Multiplication Table. fhcehotTJge.l “How many acres of land have you?” “One hundred.” “Then you have bought some more: you had only twenty.” 4 ‘No, I haven’t bought any, I have not j*ented any. Still I claim that I have got one hundred acres. “How do you make that out?” “Just this way. I bought twenty acres, I plowed it thoroughly, utilizing every foot of ground, making on an average, one acre equal to two. That gave me forty acres." “Just so.” ‘‘l then fertilized the land so that one acre produced as much as three did be fore. That made me twenty acres more making the total sixty." “I see.” “Then I practiced jiersistent cultiva tion, which I can prove will double the yield of an litre. Twenty acres more, you see makes me eighty.” “Yes. and now for the other twenty. The other twenty I got by using only the liest of seed and by putting brains and system into my work. And to prove that my farm containes one hundred acres 1 am willing to compare results with the average hundred acres any where in this section of the country. Things equal to the same thing are equal to each other, you know.” We heard a presiding elder say the other day: “I am doing my best to get the country churches to have service every Sunday.” We never pass on Sun day morning a closed church without a feeling of oppressive loneliness coming over us. The very silence of the place is a protest against its wants of harmony with Christianity. Go, brother, invite your neighbors, open your church, read the scriptures, sing and pray, and the next time the ‘circuit rider’ comes he will preach a better sermon. The first negro legislator of Rhode Island was elcted in the same election with her first Democratic Governor, and we will thank our exchanges to name a single Northern Republican State that has ever elected a single colored legisla tor or Congressman.

THE DEMOCRATIC STANDARD UN FURLED TO THE BREEZE. And the Contest of 1888 Opened WITH THE CONSTITUTION BATTLING IN THE FRONT RANKS. The triumphs of the Constitution in reporting the campaign of 1884 are well remembered! It w 7 as the first Southern paper to announce Cleve land’s election and majority, and Atlanta had celebrated that event before other Southern cities knew of it! The Constitution led all Southern papers in 1884, Gur arrangements for reporting THE CAMPAIGN OF 1888 are fuller than ever before. We have established correspondents in Boston, New York, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco—and mem bers of the Constitution staff will make frequent trips through the doubtful States. Through special and exclusive arrangements with the Boston Herald, New York World, Chi cago News and St. Louis Globe-Democrat, the progress of the campaign will be detailed in the Constitution as in no other Southern newspaper. Special letters will be printed weekly from the six leading correspondents of the country. The Constitution stands, as it has always stood, high in the confidence of democratic lead ers, and their views will be expressed through its columns.
