TOE PUBLIC SCHOOL QUESIICl
Whatever 1 relates1 to' tbe subject of
, popular; education should ! interest the
people at J'arge, .and not only so but en
gagih earnest attention of the body
now sitting, at -the .capital To his re
cent report ' to? "the General Assembly
the superintendent of publics instruction
annexed a number of recommendations,
andwittiaviewto arousin a general
interest on the subject among our read
ers, we reproduce an outline of each of
these suggestions which we find pub
lished entire in the Raleigh teemr.
Mr. Scarborough recommends:
L That the appropriations -for the
State normal schools be continued," and
that the law be so changedas to admit
females with equal privileges with
II. That the county school authorities
be authorized and required to make
provision for holding "county teachers'
institutes," and that teachers of public
schools be encouraged to attend. That
these institutes be under the supervi
sion of the county examiner of each
county or ' some other suitable person
selected by him or by the county board
of education.
III. That the school committees be
appointed by the county board of edu
cation ana tne Doaru oi magistrates
coniointlv. Also that it may ; be made
the duty of the county board of educa
tion to appoint one committeeman in
each district to take the school census
and gather the school statistics of his
district ; that he be allowed proper com
pensation for his services, with a penal
ty imposed for failure to discharge his
auties.
IV. That the school committees be
required to procure suitable, sites for
school houses in their respective dis
tricts, and to have erected upon such
sites comfortable school houses, and
that the law which now provides that
only half the cost of erecting and furn
ishing school houses shall be paid out of
the school fund be repealed, and that
the law be made to provide that the
entire cost shall be paid out of the
school fund.
V. As the law is now county treasur
ers are required to report to this office
on the first Monday in September. The
sheriffs or tax collectors are not required
ti pay the school fund to the county
treasurers until the first Monday in De
cember. This necessitates delay on the
part of the treasurers in making their
reports, or they can only report the
amounts due on the tax let, and the
consequent confusion by reason of in
solvents allowed sheriffs. Most of the
public schools also are just beginning
their sessions on the first Monday in
September. This produces confusion
and difficulty in giving proper school
statistics.
VI. That the appropriations fdr pub
lic schools be increased so as to have at
least one public school in each school
district, say of tour miles square, for
four months in each year. This is re
quired by the constitution, and I re
spectfully suggest that the Legislature
meet this requirement, and repeal that
part of the school law submitting it to
a vote or trie people of each county.
VIL That the Legislature enact, un
der proper safeeuards. that the people
of any school district may vote an addi
tional tax upon themselves to supple
ment their apportionment from the
State and county fund, for the mainten
ance or their district school tor a longer
time than four months. This, in many
States, is called "the local option school
law." Upon this principle the best
school systems ia the United States
have been reared.
These suggestions are entitled to con
sideration at the hands of the people at
large as well as from the General As
sembly, would be glad to have the
readers of -The Observer, -especially
jthose who have had iany experience
with schools, to think over the above
recommendations and give their view
upon the subject through this journal
to the General Assemblyf or else write
- to their members direct. That a great
reformation is needed in our methods
of popular education is a proposition
which will not be denied, and in order
to legislate intelligently upon the sub
ject the members of the General As
sembly need the intelligent counsel and
opinions of their constituents

, AN JLUflURY OF, FUTURE FICTORT,
The entire Democratic press of the
State, without a single exception, so far
as we have observed, regarulesss or
ormer preference; manifest the great-'
est good feeling ovei the election of
Gov. Vance and while wgreatiy-desired
the election of this gentleman,
not only on personal grounds but from
the honest belief that he is possessed
of more gifts .qualifying him for
he position than Any inan in the State,
we regard.thiS ; other thing the resto
ration of good feeling between all the
elements": of-theDembcratic party of
the State by far the! most auspicious
circumstance: in1 connection with this
election. " 'The, Democracy of -North
Carolina is again re-united. There
are no longer within its folds contend
ing factions and cliques at daggers'
points. Men once more become insig
nificant as compared with measures.
Old wounds are rapidjly healing, ana a
month hence hardly ) a trace will be
eft of the bitter struggle which has so
ately terminated. There will be left,
of course, a few who; will, for a long
;ime. seek the redress of imaginary
grievances, but they aire fewer than a
baker's dozen, and even they will, by
and byr learn that it isj wisest for them
to bow. without murmuring, to the de
clared will of the sovereign people.
This restoration of good fellowship
could not have been accomplished oth
erwise than by the election of Gov.
Vance to the Senate, and this is why,
we say, we have hailed this result with
such peculiar gratification. The state
of feeling now prevalent in the State
among all classes of our people, is au
spicious for the result of the campaign
of 1880. We will go into that contest
with serried columns. There will be
no wavering worth speaking of on ac
count of personal piques and jealousies,
and with men lost sight of m view of
the principles for which our party con
tends, the victory which the North
Carolina Democracy will win in that
campaign will be more complete and
overwhelming than it has ever been
before.

The Senate was principally ensrasred
in the post road bill the conference
report, which at the last session was not
acted upon. The House conteres then
refused to consider the bill as the clause
therein allowing books to come in free

treaty union was regarded as a reserve
measure and as such should have origi

tains the Brazilian mail steamship sub

are regarded by some as separate meas

The Delay in the Signing ofthe Eastern
Treaty.
St. Petersburg, January 24. The
Qolos complains of the delay in the
signing ot the definitive treaty
between Russia and Turkey, and ad
vises the Russian government not to
hurry about evacuation, and says that
Russia's opponents are intrieuintr to de
lay the settlement of the Eastern Rou-
meiian questions until the departure of
the Russian army. " It is therefore ad
visable, says the tfocos, "that the troops
should remain at Adrianople until
April; so that the; Porte may still feel
the influence of their presence when
tine result of the election for a Prince
is declared."
The Qolos, in another article, says:
England is de facto sovereign of Af
ghanistan, and has every chance for
carrying through her plans in Asiatic
Turkey.

Richmond Cor. of Alexandria Gazette.
A strange story is told here to the
effect that the parsonage occupied by
the Rev. Moses D. Hoge, of the Presby
terian church, situated on the corner
of Main and Fifth streets, is haunted.
Dr. Hoge, it is stated, has the utmost
difficulty in keeping servants. They
come and stay one month and see the
mysterious aparition and hear the hu
man sigh, and then they leave, nor do
they wait long for wages. The house
was built and occupied for years
by Major Gibbon, a distinguished of
ficer in the colonial army. After the
revolutionary war he lived there in
handsome style. About the hour of
midnight a figure robed in white walks
with solemn step through the hall and
vanishes noiselessly. It is said by those
who claim to have seen it to be the
figure of a lady. And as the figure
sweeps by a deep-drawn sigh is heard,
which proceeds from the back parlor in
the house. Such is the strange tale
which the affrighted servants tell.

constant increasing demand and without a single
