It was ludicrous, of course, but was it more ludicrous At Bangor,. Athens Summer School. On Several occaseions we have called attention to the Unrversi- ty Summer School at Athens, withthe view of impressing school officers and teachers throughout the State the importance of this sobool and to enlist their sympa thy for, and their support of, it. We have taken an interest in it because we want to see it prosper and becauso we are satisfied that it is all that it claims to be. As a matter of foot, it is as good a school of the kind as can be found anywhere. • The purpose of it, of course, is to afford teachers an opportunity to make themselves more efficient in their profession.

Their colony had lately been visited by diseases of several sorts, including smallpox. They attributed the sickness and the deaths that resulted as l.einp due to the presence of the evil oue, so they put on swords. and bucklers, and beating their bands with Bibles, the faithful went out in solemn parade to shoo the devil away.

It is true the Georgia institu tion is not endowed with an abun dance of money for the work which it has in hand, but it has enough to make good every one of its promises and to provide a course of instruction that cannot be ex celled anywhere in the South. It is the duty of the school offioials in this state to give the institu tion every possible encourage ment. If they will do this they have no cause'to regret it.
