You take comparatively so little interest Hi the cause, you seeiu to care so little whether the youth are educated or not, the great masses of the peo ple have concluded that there is nothing in the tlnng after all,—only schemes to., keep the children out of devlltry-r-and that you are working at the business solely for the few paltry dollars involved. Thank God this is not universally true! There are many, many brave self-sacrificing, hard-working, in tensely interested men and women at work in this field of unbounded ust.fulness all over the south, and they are doing all they can to ele ♦ate the work and to be more useful. On these noble so tls the destiny of the . country largely hinges. Let them have all the encouragement and sympathy they so much need. May God bless aud lead them in their work, This means of reaching the masses and interesting them in the education of the children was suggested by the fact that the people as a class, are so meagerly informed as to the details of the work, and, apparently* so per fectly satisfied with their scant slock of knowledge on the subject. If some practical information about the work can be disseminated aud some interest created, the projector of this department will feel fully repaid for whatever energy pud thought lie may have, or may hereafter put into it.

Branson, president of the State Normal School at Athens, is fortunate in having secured from Mr. George Foster Peabody the sum of $15,000 in behalf of that institu tion. The normal school is doing splendid work. The" state needs tramud- teachers and many young people are pursuing their studies un der great disadvantages. Young men and women of limited means are there from every county.

There is no oilier school in America where such advantages can be had for an amount as small as tliis. And the establishment of scholarships seems to us to be a high beneficence. The faculty has estab lished one such scholarship and 20 other 75 dollar scholarships would be a great good fortune to some very worthy young women in this school, —ha wall Press.
