} } } Education isorth and South. From the Savanah (Ga.,) News. rget for a moment the ut- terances of the Republican press of the North, and look at the official | declarations of professional educa- tors in that section we will find that If we to means con- last re-| illiteracy is not by any fined to the South. in his port the Vermont Superintendent of Public Schools speaks as follows: **As a whole the common schools are yet now accomplishing what the best interests: of the people and demand. Among the many} of this inefficiency are the fol- g: The number of native | “children has decreased; they | gradually eathered around business centres, and many rural districts are thinly populated ; schools are small, scholars young, real estate depreciated, taxes high, and the tendency of the times is to employ cheap teachers; school- houses are neglected and the work of the district schools unsatisfactory. The sentiment of all persons inter— ested in educational progress is that we need the same plain, sound com- mon sense applied to school man- agement which successful men ap- ply to business.” Itis hard to believe at first blush that this condition of attairs exists in that region of boasted enlighten- ment and progress, New England. Had any such statement been made | regarding any Southern State the Radical press would have at once it as evidence ot the State cau lowir »0rn have seized upon baleful influence of Democracy in this benighted portion of the common country. Ais it is stated of a New England State, and a rampant Rad- ical New England State at that, which thinks that no good thing can possiblycome out of the Southern Nazareth, our Republican friends discreetly shut their eyes, pass over to the other side and say nothing. Whether they do this or not, however, the fact still remains that, according to the same report from which the above extract 1s taken, Vermont, in a population of but little over 300,000, contains 12,993 person over ten years of age who cannot read, and 15,837 who cannot write. Whether this is the effect of the narrow-minded Rad- icalism and bigoted sectional pre- judice of State, we do not pretend tosay. Suffice it fo know that it is a fact attested by the regularly ac- credited officials of the State, whose duty and business it 1s to be famil- iar witn such matters, and it is m- teresting for our friends just this side the Canadian border to reflect that the South is not the only region in this broad land afflicted with an il- literate population. For consisten- sake it will be better for them themselves before they future, to inveizh agamst their fellows.
