" now! undertake the most difficult We iaiiui uur cu-uuposeu sasiv ana approacn it with lea r and trembling. Admittiug jhe defects enumerated last week, how can they lest be remedied ? Without profess sing to offer! exhaustive remedies foreaeh weak point, we would modestly suggest some changes that in our mind would cer tainly be for the better. First, to meet the great and chief trouble, the lack of fuildx, let our Legislature perform the duty en joined upoujit in our State constitution; in Art. IX, Sep. 2, where we .read, "The General Assembly thall provide by taxation and ohterwfee for a general and uniform system of pjublic schools, wherein tuition shall lie freej of charge to all the children of the State between the ages of six and twenty -one years." Also in Sue. 3 it says, ''One or more pub lic schools shall be maintained in each school district at least fonr months in every year.". ; r Now it is jtrue that the Legislature docs lay a small tax upon the people for this purpose, when we see no public school (in our seetion, jat least) lasting longer than three months per year, when we see that this shortness of the'term and insufficiency of funds render the teaching wp have prac tically of no benefit, would it not be wise ...... i... W i i . i " i . for this tax to be increased ? The laws of aur State allow each county the right to tax its electors for the support of its schools, and whilst we are glad to know that Rowan does levy such a tax, yet if such tax be not sufficient for; the needs of the case, what would wisdom suggest ? We see constant ly large sums voted by taxation to rail roads and other schemes of public internal improvement (and we cordially approve thereof), but would it not be wise to raise somewhat more for the internal improve ment of the individual ? Something of the kind must be done, if our common schools are to sncceed. y But, secondly, Section 17 of Art. IX, of the constitution says, ''The General Assem bly is hereby empowered to enact that every child, lof sufficient mental and phys ical ability, thnll attend the public schools during the period between tnc ages of six and eightccnlyears, for a term of not less than sixteen! months, unless educated by other means. f Is not this a wise provision ? and yet we have no juch enactment. t The law of New York requires the attendance in school of fourteen weeks during each year from to fourteen years; of age. Nearly all th New England States have similar laws, jand North Carolina, without this law, presents, according to census sta tistics, tlx darkest picture of ignorance in all the thirty -jnine States.' Germany has a similar law, and every State owes it to her self and her future citizens to pass such regulations. JThat onr citizens w Ml not oppose it is shown from their hearty adop tion of the I constitution containing this provision.) - j Thirdly, we are glad . to see that our State Board of Education has recommend ed, in part att least, for exclusive use the University Series of school text books: not ihat we are admirer of that seric,for vfe. have no hesitation in saying, that after an examination Qf itwe think it decidedly in ferior to one or two other, series of school books j!utjthef principle Jis'the ? 'point. There should lie uniformity in text books, and even Holmes rcadenT and grammars, if tdopted unlversaily, will be a vast improve ment on the oldplanof having a- dozen different ones jin each class. Let, the Legis lature go one istew further ;anfcT authorize th8tate Board OfEducatJon to adopt (net rccomtaend) Holmes' (or some better) scries j as ths only pne; to be rised, and there! will I te a ew era,;of good -Iinl?onr common T ' !

Mi For tbe Watchman. Sunday Schools. Mr. Editor : Durinr most of my short life I have been connected w ith Sunday school work and interested in its succjess.! In this field many noble spirits arc earnestly engaged. The desire of f every live actor seems to be to; teach children" the force of truth. Hence the question naturally arises, How canrthis best be done ? .1! It might be! inferred that some schools, at east, were organized Without any refer ence to salvation, eternal life, God's glory, qr ;aujthing fn that direction. Many' of those appointed to teach these awfully'ibl emn realities 4re Excessively vain, and'suime of them openly immoral. Some of those elected to the high and responsible office of ' . 1 i . sux.-riiuenueni, ii mey Know experiment ally anything f tfie raerc:y of God in Christ, nevcrtalk of !it to others. This state of thiags exists in many locklitics in the coun try. And the jrcshlt is, thick darkness set tles down upi the neighborhood, and j in this darkness every kind of satanic supersti tion and device has full play, j; Iji some schools all the learners depend Up on teachers untaught for information. Tlieir liljries are very small, and some of their books not only (worthless, but dangerous. In a Sunday school nar tome Ii found, not long a trot, i their library, a book bearing tire title, Ox the Use of this Bible, by Fenexon: With FLtTCiiEit's IliU6T1atioxs. The book was an ingenious armnent by Roman Catholic writers nainst the common people reading the Bib!c?j! Howlhik precious docu ment found a place jn thelibrary of a Protes tant Sunday school, I c annot Jtcll, buHoitis. And it is not sojim iprtant to kno w how these irregularities ekist.las to'kaow how to re move them. j :? '' " With many -around mc, the essence of a Sunday school onsbts in a pick-nick, a ceje bfaton and a Cpirit bia,t rcj-These form- the graiid nt rtaijiments of thie school rear. They are occasipnsof great enjoyment for old and young. j ui ' ' " Ojfall these holy assemblies-the celebra tionis the mqit deep rootcit and wide spreading At thesr ; annual meetings preachers or spi'aiic'rs arc appointed with special rcft-renct' to-Christian unison. Some times old-men who have never engaged in Sunday school! work in their lives, son) e times young men without the least experi ence I have listened to some of these by the hour, and if they could tell the sulrject the were xn tliey , were! wiser than their hearers. A spectator could hardly learn "the object of the hvceting from anything done or said at lit. !; i : Tlic conclusion of the whole matter is wo have in our own county many people, nat urally as good S3 many others, and yet they; are strangely in! darkness. Many schools arc lechly organized, and many are destitute of all helps. And yet they spend money- enough! eyery Vear on things of doubtful propriety; to supply all with every needed book, and also a missionary or gen eral superintendant to look after and care for the destitute. If it would not be con sidered presumjHu(us, could not the county convention huv done something in that wav or us ? Ixcoo. j I . For tbe Watchman' El DoRADci, N. C., Sept. 1, 1879.

Halvbur- ton, John A. Ramsay, and Charles Price, Salisbury, N. C. : Gentlemen : I beg to acknowledge re ceipt of your letter of August 30, enclosing a circular and inviting me to unite with the survivors of the late civil war, in a Re union at Salisbury, N. C, on Thursdiv October 23, 1879. Tbe time is too remote for me to make a promise, but I assure you that it would be most agreeable to me personally and social ly to meet you on any suitable occa -ion.' i There is no use in my mincing terms. Whenever and wherever the honest men of North Carolina meet to allay sectional and party animositjesand to cultivate feelings of fraternity and respect l for their fellow citizens 6f the United States, it will he to me most tempting to come to Salisbury. I Would far prefer to come aloncthan as. be fore with a Vast 'army, leaving "desolation behind, but I must not be construed' aV as senting to the proposition that Jponfederate and Union mfep .were alike, worthy of a celebration for the terrible history of 1861-65. . , , j I would much prefer to come on some Civic "occasion when all are absolutely equal, all alike interested in the present acd future glory of our common country. There were very few Union soldiers in North Carolina during the war, though webelieve tlie people generally were opposed to seces sion and war ; so that your meeting, if con fined to surviving soldiers of North Caroli na,5 will be in fact a "Confederate Reunion,1 where I would certainly be ont of place. All soldiers in their social reunions glorify their, deeds of heroism, aodt this reunion will hardly I an exception,- and it would be a strange sight for General Sherman to cheer the victories of 'his enemies, and re spond 'to the claim that because the soldiers bf North Carolina were brave and true to their Stato and section, their cause was as eacrcd as ours, which finally triumphed, and , It ... a..4...
