Sutton - , February 27.—The wen til
er for the past few weeks has been
very unpleasant. It lias been too
"wet for the fanners to do much to
ward preparing their lands for the
year’s crop. It has also been severe
on live stock. The girls say it has
also been unpleasant, especially the
last three Sundays, for their beaux.
We have a flourishing school now
at Zion Hope church, with forty-eight
Scholars in attendance and Prof. <>,
L, Chesnntt at the helm. The cold
weather has rendered it uneomforta-
ble for both teacher and pupils, but
perhaps patrons think that with cool
brains their children can learn better
and faster. However, the patrons
and pupils are well pleased with their
teacher.
The young people of tins eomtnu*
riit.y were greatly disappointed last
Wednesday night, the rain prevented
them from having a social party.
There is evidence that Homebody
got a ducking in t he creek last Sun
day. J’art of a wagon was lost, but
1 guess it will ho recovered when the
water goes down.
It plenty of water and nearness to
it is any indication, it is a good time
to go fishing.
A majority of the fanners in this
vicinity have finished rolling logH.
Mrs. H. ('. Hutchinson, who has
been visiting her daughter, Mrs. .las.
Fletcher, returned homo last Sunday.
Miss Sailio Hutchinson planted a
grain of coffee last June. It soon
came up and grew off linoly. She
has protected it. through the winter
and now it is four or five toot high.
Hho says she wouldn’t take anything
for her little coffee tree. The writer
wishes her good luck in raising it.

A Continued Mutiny.
Knjoma, Febiuury H*.—The writer
has been a teacher in this and other
counties of the State for a period of
about nine years. In my first ven
ture as an instructor I discovered an
impediment in the progress of educa
tion, a fruitful source of discord, al
though 1 was a mere lad. It grew
out of a conflict of views by the au
thors of text-hooks and the froquenl
change of text-books by the Hoards
of Education and compelling patrons
of public schools to buy new hooks
every time changes are made. In
deed I have watched this matter
grow from bad to worse until it lias
absolutely become a burden upon the
people, a menace to the cause of edu
cation, humbled the pride of teachers
and driven many of them in disgust
from the profession.
it seoins to me to bo good policy
on the part of the law-making power
of the State to provide an uniform se
ries of text books to lie changed not
oftener than fifteen or twenty years;
the true teacher, who is teaching for
the good of humanity as well as the
pay there is in the profession, will
keep up with all the new and im
proved methods, principles and appli
ances, as his success will depend on
their doing so. I am satisfied the in
terest manifested by tile people in the
public schools would ho greatly en
hanced thereby.
Let adoption of books be made by
ic State School Commissioner for
every county in the State, so that
there will lie uniformity throughout
tlie State. Let every book have Ins
special and thorough inspection be
fore adoption. Why? Hccauso a
large proportion of the members of
nut County Hoards of Kduoation,
while they arc good and Iruo mem
haven’t seen inside of a text-book
for years and really their minds are
too much diverted to the feeding ami
care of horses, cows, bogs, and herd
ing of sheep, to do justice in tint se
lection of a series of text-books. Hut
Commissioner Hradwell’s mind is
fixed on this matter, he Is an eminent
half his wages in accounts. He real
ly mado little progress for the lack of
literature.
Tho injustice perpetrated on the
people by the frequent change of text
books is why Mr. A. or B. did not
buy books according to the teaciicr’s
request—they didn’t have tho money.
It is keeping many poor children out
of school and it might be justly add
ed -robbing them of a common Kug-
lisli education. I know children who
are out ot school to-day because their
parents ure unable to buy books to
keep up with overy change. Our
county officers excuse themselves by
saying ‘‘they are executing the law”
and—the mutiny continues the next
year. II. A. IIknduicks.
