School* mid School Teachers.
Olio of the civil Horrioc examiners,
who recently examined a (urge num
ber of applicants in a’ Southern
State for partition! in tjio servico of
the government, myt that not one in
ton could giro satisfactory answers
ito tho simplest questions in the olo
ineatury English branches. Inquiry
developed .that itwo thirds of tho iip»
ipticHiits had boon pupils of the public
schools, while tho other third hud
:i-0ccircd .their training in private
schools.
'This is not a good showing for the’
.schools. Tho Morning Nom ia in-/
.dined to believe that tho fault is
both with tho systoai mid .the touch-
ott. In Georgia, outsido of tho cities,
notorious.that tho public schools
are wofully inefficient. With their
throe month*’ torms and almost on-
.firo.lack of .facilities for teaching,
they aro little more than schohtftic-
spasms. Tbo State School Commis
sioner says tho trouble lies with tbo
.Ststt«| v which refuses to appropriate
■money enough to moke the school
.efficient. The Morning News is not
prepared to deny tbij, but at the
same time calls attention to the fact
ithat the excuse does not help tho
school. Wherever the trouble lies,
.tho system is viitually a failure aud
cf course, tho schools arc inefficcnt.
The futluro of tho private schools
to accomplish good results is partly
duo to the existence of tho public
schools. The luttor have greatly in-
Jurod the formor, as is proved by tho
•dosing of many of tho former that
wore ouco famous. Poople huvo got-
*ton into tho Iiubit of behoving that
three months in the public schools
iufford all tho oduoution their child
ren! should roodvo in the year, and
•they therefore will not support the
privato schools.
But, if tho public schools were
•opon nine, or uvea six, mouths in
tho year, and the privato sohools
■woro overflowing with pupils, no
>gicat amount of good would bo ac
complished unless u change woro
madu in tho diameter of teachers
employed. Tljo .Morning Nowi does
not moan to inuko an indisoriminate
attack upon tho touohors of tho
; Stuto. Thero aro many who aro tho
poors of any in tho country, whethor
•iu point of looming or ability to im
part wlmt they know. But there
am also u very largo number who
aro lucking iu learning and ability,
and who aro without oxporiouco.
The laws governing tho selection of
(teachers for tho public sohools arc
almost usoless, for in many instances
.tho examiners are oltlior incapable
-<»r careless. Tho result is thero aro
hundreds of bhindoring hoys and
girls iu tho public soitools going
'through the lnrco of giving instruc
tion to the young. An unhappy
farce it is, too, for it entails a whole
sale slaughter of tho innocents. Tho
State School Commissioner himsolf
admits that many of the teachers in
tho public sohools aro sadly defl-
cioaU In many of tho private
sohools tho state of affairs is just as
bad. Teachers aro omptojed who
look tho essential qualifications for
accomplishing good results. If this
bo not true, why is it that tlioro aro
ho many peripatetics among tho
teachers in tho private sohools y
Why is it that the trustees of these
schools are always saying to thoir
•tenektn, "Move on y” Even trustees
■of sohods will bold on to a good
iking when onoo it is in their posses
sion.
Unless oomiug generations are to
be the merest smatiers the State
trust take vigorous hold of the pub
lic schools aud make them efficient.
Means for (intending tho terms, for'
providing-proper facilities and for
obtaining ibroughlv qualified teach
ers must be .devised. Tho matter is
too important >to admit of delay or
.U> warrant anything but a liberal
^policy—Savannah. .Xcw*.

Anderson Jones (colored) returned to
tills city a few weeks ago from Liberia,
in Africa, where he went in the spring
of 1885. IIo is now at home in Mont
gomery, and says ho is hero to stay.
Ho is stopping ut ids father's, out be
yond tho Womon’s Homo, In tho eastern
portion of tho city. An Advertiser
reporter went out to see him yesterday,
ami from his own lips hoard the story
of the travels aud trials and stay in tho
land that docs not flow with milk and
honey.
**! loft Montgomery on Fob. 84.1883,
one year ago last February, for New
York, accompanied by my wifo aud
two children. Wo sailed from New
Fork for Liberia on tbo last day of
February. In our party thero woro
tifty emigrants, Including men, women,
and children. We had a very pleasant
voyage, und landed at Monrovia,
Liberia, on April 4. We went to
Liberia under direction of the Coloni
sation Society of Washington. The
society furnished us, according to
promlso, with provisions to last us six
months. After we reached our desti
nation wo had our land surveyed, and
set about to build houses and settle.
As for my part, I soon found that the
rainy season was too cloao at hand, and
I did not have timo to settle on the
land set apart for me. 1 then got two
acres from another man in the settle
ment, and built, a little house In which
1 lived while there. I planted aud
raised a few potatoes, and wo ate them
and enjoyed them. The house I built
was ton by ilfteeu feet. I built it with j
small poles and covered it with bam
boo. Tho rainy sermon sot in about
May 1, and continued until along sorno
tlmo in November. Sometimes tlio
rainfall would be steady for a week or
two, and then it would slack up an
hour or two a day and commonce again.
But for Btx mouths wo had no sunshlno
or dry weather, and during all that
tlmo wo woro conllnod iu-doors, and
could not do anything In the way of
outdoor work to earn u living. In tho
fall tho rainy spell ends, and then there
is nothing but drought and hot sun
shine for six months. We had no win
ter, and tho only cool weather came
during tho rainy spell, in what wo call
tho summer months hero."
There aro many things that must
mako an American fed very much out
of place in Africa Continuing tho
talo of his bitter experience, Anderson
said:
“ In cultivating tho soil, the aottlers,
os well as tho natives, have to do all
tho work with hoo9. There are no
horses or niulos or cattle m that
country. In somo of the oldest settle
ments thoy have u few cattle, but they
aro very small and dwarilsli. A full-
grown cow in Africa is no larger than
a year-old oalf in this country. In tho
Bottlomont where wo lived I never saw
but the one poor little calf, and not a
single liorao or mule iu the country. I
was Blok about throe months, and was
greatly troubled with bloodthirsty little
insects known ub jiggers. They are
itunllor than a (lea and far more
troublesome. They attack a victim on
tho feet while ho aloepB and work thoir
way Into tho flesh, forming had sores,
1 saw many people with sovornl of their
toos fairly eaten oil by the little pests.
In my sickness 1 had no medicine and
no physician. Thera was no doctor in
tha settlement, except herb doctors,
who mako their own medlclno. People
in that couutry cau't make money, nnd
it takes hard digging to make a little
something to cat. 1 had a little money
when I wont there, but everything was
so high that it was soon gone. The
inau who is employed by the Coloniza
tion Society to issuo provisions to tho
settlers swindled us out of supplies for
twenty (jays, nnd just at a time when
we needed help most.
“Tho poople over thoro don’t much
like for settlers to come away. But
thoy can’t raise any objoctloiiB, and tho
natives ara all peaceable. When a man
decides to leave he has to post a written
notico of hts Intentions in a public
place for ten days and get a passport
from the Government 1 wrote letters
to my people here and received replies.
The letters go aud come around by
English steamers. I was bent on com
ing hack to Alabama, though I had no
money «iut no means of making it hly
relative* here and iu Texas stmt us
8100, nnd we sold our beet clot hoe to
raise 823. Wo did not have to pay fare
for our little girl, and only 825 for tho
boy ami 850 each (or myself and wife.
We took passage on the bark Mon
rovia, and sailed from Liberia on Julv
7. lauding iu New York on Aug. 8, ana
In Montgomery on Sept 5. I had no
cause to leave tills country, and now
since 1 am at home in Alabama once
more, 1 will not lHither about going oil
again to go anywhere."
Anderson Joues is thirty-tlx years
old. Anderson ia above the average of
his rave in point of Intelligence. His
wife is a tight mulatto woman, Titov
have two children. They had one child
bom in Africa, which died early aud
was buried them Anderson says that

C. IT. Newnmn, of Lake City, Fla., says
his wife has suffered for seven years with
a complication of diseases, of which Asth
ma was the most prevalent. She has not
laid down in bed for sovau years. He
has expended all tho monev his business

physicians, etc., to obtain relief for her
but without any success whatever. He
was advised by physicians to try P. P. P.
He flnally did so, expecting to dorive no
benefit, but after taking less than two
bottles eruptions appeared all over lier
and oho immediately begun to improve,
and now her skin is perfectly clear. She
sleeps soundly every night on an ordinary
pillow - , und her general health lias not
been better in years. Mr. Neuman, who

In the year 1878 1 was attacked with a

before a bourd of physicians at Tallahassee
nnd was examined, and my cuse was de

fulled lo eradicate the dreadful disease
aud my life was in danger. I lost the use
of my left urm, and'a physician ut this
place said my arm would have to bo ampu
tated. The corruption that came from
the various sores wut so offensive that I
disliked to come in contact with my friends
aud neighbors. I took thirty-two bottles
of an Atlanta Blood Purifier, also a lot
made in Baltimore, nnd iu fact everything
Uiut 1 could hear of, but recelvcc no bcnc*
flt. I had entirely despaired when vour
Gcueral Agent. Mr. Clarkson, came hero
