To Tiir. RnrTOR of TuM

Will you allow a colored citizen of
North Carolina enoub
space in your
paper for the following.
Wt lle we aee
leading papers
question de
in your paper and other
In tbe t ate the acboo
cussed so ably in
reference to text
boot. Ac., weure notihincr, said in re
gard to teachers and their Ealaiy, and j
upon tbla subject we would like to
upeakv, After deciding what text books
should bo used, our econd thought
ought to be about teachers. We must
hate god teachers, and bow is it to be
broi eh, about. Why by having an
cdVat?d school Board or school com
mittee as they are called la some states.
If we hve first'clasa teachers at home
they should by all means! bo employed,
and the school committee ought to aee
that they are employed. They apend
their money with us, help our business, i
and it ia right that tbey should be em-
ployed. -: But If good teacbert cannot
be Jbund at home, why then it ia the
duty of the committee to find them
elsewhere. But for a Board to employ
third trade teacbera (which is next to
no teacherj and. place them into school,
more esiecially high or graded tchoola,
merely because they are friends or rela
tives of that Board, it la wrong and I
protest against it. Yet it ia done, and
no one who U Tcracd ia achool aCaira
can deny i.u I aay, Mr. Editor, the
Ttry idea of emplojlng; third, grade
teachers, I heard an examinee aay once
that If he had hla way that bp third
grade ctrUCcatea ahould begtTtn, that
a ptraoa had bo uataesa tcachisg that
held inch a cetUScate." I aotkt that
in aomt atatea in tbe aouth thai tome
cf cur colored joutba wUh to btcose
teachers too toon, by the time they can
read ia the Third or Fourth Reader
they tbla thej can teach. . Well, it it
true they ctht proUhly teach a child
hta A B CX feu crta ia tit primary

knewa ttrscn to PtlrtU tiTirctd U
WILMINGTON, NORTH
the 'formation of letters- and worcs,
and Ithia a person ahonid be before
trying to teach the JilUe minds.
And; now, what harm ia done to this
kind of a teacher? Why, after' he gets
his third grade certificate he goes to
teaching; his or her. school days are
ended; they know' all that is to be
learned, and that certificate, they seem
to think, is their diploma; It is a great
injury to our schools,' and not only to
schools', but to the achool committee
who employ such teachers. It looks as
if they had failed to do their duty, or
as if they , were incapable of judging
what qualifications a teacher should
have to teach a' school. In some few
instances we hare school boards ap
pointed, some of whom cannot write
and Others can read very little. Now,
Mr. Editor, whose fault is it that such
men -get these appointments? Why,
those who appoint the school commit
tee. It is their duty to get educated
men, men of intelligence, who are ca
pable of visiting our schools and find
ing out whether the teacher is improv
ing his scholars or not, or whether he
has good government, &c
And thirdly, if we have good teach
ers fhey ought to have good pay; for
teaching, if well done, is very labori
ous work. A good teacher, well paid,
will do more' good than a dozen of these
would-be cheap teachers. While pass
ing through Goldsboro the other day,
I learned that there were two graded
schools carried on, one white and the
other colored. On inquiry I 'found
that the whites were progressing finely,
that their object had been to get the
very best teachers they could, (in these
graded schools the Principal examines'
his ' teachers, so of course, he knows
just what kind of teachers he has em
ployed) jtnd everything works smooth
ly.1 But in the colored school they had
not been so particular about selecting
their teacher, they had a few first grade
and a few third , grRde teachers, and
that no examination had been made by
the Principal, so, of course, he did! not
know whether his third grade teachers
were capable of teaching . or not, I
asked, how comes this-? and was-' told
that if the third grade teachers were
examined they would not pass, and that
would necessarily throw them out, and
that the school committee were deter
mined to keep to them in, as some
were friends and relatives of that com
mittee. I therefore determined to write
on this subject as soon as I reached my
destination. . I aay that it is a shame
to have such frauds put upon the peo
ple, and it ought to be looked into.
Respectfully,', C O. M.
Ma. Editor: Recently havinx occa
sion, to go on a somewhat extended trip
into the country, I was compelled by
stress of weather to stop at a cabin for
twenty-four hours, where the means of
passing time agreeably were of a limi
ted kind. A tattered testament in the
smallest type, and a last year's medical
almanac were the only things of a book
description. As the batchelor who oc
cupied tbe log shanty was a considera
ble producer of turpentine he took a
weekly newspaper , for the market re
ports. I rummaged around and soon
found two or three entire copies of Mr.
Bernard's weekly Efar. Come, said I
to myself, I will read the editorials of
the nar. Of course, while at home, I
do as every other person in the city
does, look -at the new advertisements,
glance at tbe locals, read the telegraph
ic news, but carefully avoid the editor
rials, which it is known Mr. K writes.
I, however, am omnivorous in my read
ing, being able to devour ant thing from
Hegel to a dime' novel, buckled to the
big-typed stuff, and actually read all of
it in three papers. As Traddlea aaya,
though, it was ai pulL Gratiano's infi
nite deal of nothing; his two grains of
wheat In two bushels of chaftV Fal
atafTa one half penny worth of bread to
fiis intolerable deal of sack were the
only things to which the aaid atnff coald
be compared. ' Such platitudes! (that
word must have been intended for the
writer;) such a flux of words, and auch
a constipation of idea-! I . no longer
wondered that daring the past four
years twojei Mr. Bernard's printers had
become imbecile, one had died of soft
ening of the Lraiu, and three had run
away. by, Mr. Editor, la one of the
pa pen there were fourteen, ia another
aixtcea and the other seventeen of the
things called editorials. . How coaapoa
itcra cau eedcre it ia hard to under
stand. - ;'.. ':'--'
