Wmr Common School,
Kabtkobd, June JO, 1874.
I'm roii Tbve Nobthebxkb : 1 have joet
finished reading an article printed in your last
issue, and purporting to nave been written by
one Shoudy, who, or what be is, 1 have not the
least knowledge, save as I judge b the sound
of his trumpet, which be blew long and some
what loud, and some of its notes seemed to be
rather indicative of bis profession. As tbe
drift of his essa seemed to be to give me ad
vice and criticise and contradict a short article
written by me and published some Beven or
eight weeks ago. I thought perhaps it de
manded some sort of a reply, but as i have
only a few Bpare momoms, and not seven or
eight weeks to devote to the subject, 1 tru-t I
will be excused if I do not instruct or edify the
people so profoundly as he has done, but sim
ply give a passing notice to some of its points.
First, be tells us, " so far, but little has been
said to tbe point concerning this Common
School question. Beeming'y of a personal char
acter. " So he wishes through your columns to
instruct tbo public. How glad I Mi that he
has spoken and thrown such a flood of light
upon the subject. Hereafter I presume tbe
public will have no appetite for anything
further on the question : b presented so many
new points and substantial 1 tbem with such
profound arguments, that ail must be well sat
isfied as to tbo inentB or domeritB of this free
school system. And then how grateful they
all mual bo that ono wnter has been so gen
aflOM as to soar above personalities, scorning
to call names and fling sarcasm. 1 think all
who have .eal hi- article, will be radv with
me to exc'.iiru " O. consistency, thou art a
jewel." but tew there bo that find thee.
Tbe first subject he takes up. is the namo
" Althea," aud has a ;:reat deal of trouble to
lind out to what gender it belongs. Indeed.
What i profound scholar, and J et ! would ad
vise him to study the back part of bis spoiling
book a little and hereafter save lumeR so
much trouble in deciding to which gender eel
tain given names are applied.
I see but one tbin' worth noticing in what he
says with roference to rings, and that is a quo
tation which reads thus, " I have talked with a
number of teachers about this ring sou they
nover pretended to deny but what it existed."'
When you quote from others, Mr. Shoudy,
please quote correctly, do not substitute what
for that, as it does not sound well to sensitive
eare- Again, he says "it may bo that those
teachers who AUhea talked to, thought Althea
mjgbt attend teachers conventions and find out
for .rt.Kir. or. if there be any teachers who
pretend or intimate that a nng exist, tbey are
those who l olit.cians call ' sore-headed. 1 etc
etc." Now this whole sentence eoundB a little
mixed. Perhaps though, it is owing to mis-
. ltlM-ih,r it. r,f n.o
word who will, where H should have bMD
whom.
Now wbon I attended school in tho old log
school houHc, in the days of town superintend- ;
. . tarrlIJa r i. t . . . I . i I . nnr ln,ihaij '
instructed us that such language was ungram
matical. and should not bo UBed: but in this
period of progreswion and free schools, almost
anything will do I suppose.
Again he says I " She says ' thoy have run in
to all kinds of prodigality, etc.'" meaning the
teachers 1 suppoBO: as though tbe teachers
were the majority and could do just as they
please. This is misrepresentation, as no-
could construe my language to mean any
HUCi, thing. I said ''the money furnished for j
buildmg school houses, paying teachers, etc.,
etc( bas been raisctl with so little Btrain upon
tho parses of tho masses, that they have gone
mto an eorts of prodigality, recklessness, etc.,
et, ,. Now ti,0 mMes" has reference (in
jjr y8 mmd) to teat hers, then wo will concede
him to bo innocent but very short sighted. Mv
aesottion I etand roady to substantiate by
many sound ai-gumonts some of which I have
not time to present now. The fact is. many
people liriu'.- in our towns and villages have
heard tho cry VMM -cbools! FfM Schools!
until thev really think tney are iroo to everv-
bod;, that tnei - - a run ir.uiy irum

as our next doo neighbor, a widow woman
who owned some forty teres or land, and who
hoped and strove hard to make a decent riving
off of it , bat it was no use to try, if ebe hired
some one to work it, or rented tbe land, it took
two-thirds of her share to pay her taxes, and
s is has been obliged to leave her land, move
to town, take in washing and ironing, anytime
she can turn her hand to. to make a living,
although she is now over si it years old ;
while the proceeds of her farm must go to help
educate the children of great stout able bodied
men, men who would scarcely turn tbeir hand
over to save her from the poor house, and
whoBe children w ould hardly turn out of their
way to give her a drink of cold water, were she I
dying ot thirsi. Is this right ? Is it just ? Is
it charity i No one can gainsay it. It is not j
an isolated case, I know of many just such
in our town, and any one can find tbem all
over our county if they are not too much in
terested in self to tako notice. It is not a sys
tem as many think, by which the rich are made
to help educate tbe poor, but one by which tbo
pooi ind provident are mude to turn over their
bar oarned dollars for tho benefit of the well-to-do
but improvident. To substantiate this
statement, i would call your attention to just
such a thriving little town as Hartford, in
every such town there are multitudes of men,
mechanics, agents, day laborers. They com
mand good wages, earn lots of money, but
spend it freely, live well, dress tboir children
nicely and send them to a free school, and to
thorn it is free, but the money that pays their
school bill was ground out by somebody's hard
work, it may be tbo poor widowB ; it may be
that i nl-woni farmer, who is obliged to work
early and late, keep his own rhddren out of
school to help him, live sparingly and dreBS
poorly, in order that he may bo able to pay his
heavy school tax. Again 1 ash. is this jusuce

And now listen to Sboodys conoluding re
marks to me : " My advice is, get a little posted
on school matters heroic writing again."
Many thankB to you. , generous Bhoudy, for
your kk.d advice, I am just as grateful as
though I bad waited six or eight weeks in or
der to study ns tbe case. I thought I must
reply to your article while my attention was
called to it, or it might sUp my mind entirely,
and besides, I long ago concluded that these
common school matters were " so plain that a
wayfaring man, though a fool, need not err
therein ;" and auain. I ought not to be so very
ignorant, as I have attended a good many com
mon schools in my day, taught not a fow, and
visited a itood many more, and claim to be ac
quainted with tbe inside and outside workings
of the different modes and systems since the !
year 1845, to the present time. Neither am I j
a nr-hd i I wan never offered anvthin I
bnt a first grade certificate ; and this is not
o: red in a boastm;; -pint . I am able to prove
nr. statements by many living witnesses. ut '
of tbe sixteen different terms which I taught,
I never had a failure because my patrons failed
to come aud keep up tbe interest of the school.
I supposed they employed me to interest and
instruct their children, and went at it with a
conscientious and determined will, thinking far
more of the interest and advancement of my
pupils, than of my three dollars a week, and I
never missed of success. My schools always
increased in numbers, in those dajs of terri
ble rato-bills, instead of dwindling out to al
most nothing, as many of them do ,n those
glorious free school times. So much has been
said alout tbo parents visiting the schools and
thus mat. in . tbem a success, that it would
seem that the teachers have come to the con
elusion Matt it is the psients duty in-tead of
theirs, to keep up tbo interest of tbe school.
But is it so ? It is true it is right, and per
haps it has a good influence for parents to
visit schools if they have the time and can :
but when hoy hire those who claim to be
tea. hers, and pav them from ten to twenty
dollars a week and then pay a superintendent
four dollars a day to oversee and help in
terest : it is about all the most of them can
do. If teachers have tbe natural ability they
ought to possess, accompanied by the proper
amount of energy, they will tbomselves be
come interosted in their schools and will have
no tiouble to interest others; if tboy have
not, they should be snubbed at once and set
afloat to engage iu some other business. I
perfectly agree with Sboudy, that a ior
school is worse than none. .'u-h bad habits
are cultivated that it takes one or two terms
of good teaching to overcome them. Agam.
speaking of poor teachers he attributes the
fault all to a lack of knowledge in the sciences,
whn the truth is, there are a plenty of well
educated teachers as well as those that are
not- bo fail ,or ck or wdl, lack or energy.

Next Shoudy claims that femaies get as
much pay for tbe amount of labor performed
M males. Now there aro quite a number of j
persons this way, claiming to have fair at
tainments, that would like to lie convinced
of that fact. We shall look .'or his argu
ments soon.
Then he gives us his v.ews concsrnn ' tho j

i 1 would go farther and say, uot as good in
our part ot the county. Then he gives us
his mode of improvement upon tho present
system, which is that we retain the County
Superintendent, then have an extra man in
each township appointed to visit schools and
report to him. J his looks to me like more
complication, more expense without any im
provement . All power weald still be delegated
