Governor Jarvt has taken occasion
through J the colnaos of tho P.aleigh
Banker to set himself right 03 the school
book qnestiou. lie states ia very plain
English, that it was cot his purpose nor
was it the purpose of tho state board of
education toccmpel the use ol the books
which the bbaid saw fit to recommend.
That the law required such action and
the board could not avoid the duty im
posed. That no school committee, coun
ty euperintendont or teacher, is bound
by the 'rrrtmrnetd uols of the board,
but: -are cuiirely at lilcrty to exercise
their best judgment in selecUog proper
books for the osoof the sctools under
thtir charge We fully pgrre with
tho Governor ia his view both of the
letter and rpirit of the Jaw. We have
always f held that the law means just
wbat tbs Governor says it does. Butji
this be so, whence does the State Su
perintended cf Tublic Instruction, de
rive th authority to rcprcseat and
declare to local 9 hool coaouiUccmen
that tic action of tho etatoboard in
the matter is coropulsorywaw and must
be strictly enforcedf And why have
teachers ail over the state been forced
to lay aside books which they preferred
and ma?e. to accept the new bool?
That MrrScarboronga ucder com of
his efSce and the action of the state
board, has assumed such authority; no
one conversaut with the facts will affect
I odcy. Schcols committees and teach
era thrcugbout tbe state say that be baa
thus interpreted the law to them, and
upon such interpretation they, bar

WILMINGTON, NOETH
of the Confederacy, h&i written a better
and-a more impartial 'history of the
country which he did all in bis power
to destroy,, than , the able professional
historians whose works : are standard
and are used in all the best : schools of
the nation? And last, but not least, is
Moore's "History Of North Carolina,"
which, aside from its many glaring in
accuracies is nothing mere than a De
mocratic I catechism from ' which that
party, tt rough itB representatives at the
capital, would have cur children learn
the inception, progress and termination
of tbe terrible conflict which 'wrought
the deliverance of the country from the
foul blot of human slavery. No; these
books were not recommended on ac
ccount of superiority over other books
of like nature, nor is that the motive
which haa moved Mr, Superintendent
Scarborough, contrary to the under
standing of the board as stated by Gov.
J ar vis, , and con trary to the law as it
passed the legislature, to make the im
pression upon school officers through
out the state that there ia no appeal
from the action of the state board. Mr.
Scarborough's motives and the .motives
of tbe board in-making such recommen
dations, are much' deeper. It ia the
price they would have us pay to per
petuate sectional prejudices, party bit
terness and the dangerous political
dogmas, which have v- already with
knarled hand, grasped for the very vi
tals of the great Republic.- It matters
but little that our schbolV and our lit
tle ones must suffer on this account.
It matters not that thousands and thou
sandaof hard earned dollars wrung
fron a poor people struggling between
existence and its end, must go to meet
the demand. It matters not that teach
ers protest and parents complain. The
decree has gone forth that the pet pub
lishers of tho ring must be rewarded
for their "labors and) regardless of all
other consideration- the order must be
executed. r - ;'-,.'.
The TJulvcrsily Iteadcr. ..
(fii our article ot last issue: as in
some others, a number of typographical
errors occurred which the reader must
have readily detected. Our chirographjr
is not after the best model and the
wonder is that more, and graver mis-i
takes have not been occasioned.); ' ;
' We will take a few more examples iu
detective punctuation;
rA grasshopper, who, by chance had
not been killed," &c-(3rd p. III.)
There ia uo reason for a comma before
and after "who. There are obvious
reasons why - there should be hone.
This also may be a proper place to re
mark that making trAo represent the
grasshopper proper, because the grass
hopper Is personified and made to talk.
This rule however is disregarded iu
most of the fables in this series. Fable,
once so common, holds but an indiffer
ent place in the best literature, and it
is too prominent in these readers
Fables have bad their day, and their
little moral can be better .taught in an
other way. ., , . ; f. '.. '
When sow, or any oue word, with
out close connections, introduces a
sentence, it is not necessarily set off by
a comma, as. "JV'or. turnroer a new
leaf"; "A"??,, theseraya were so
bright" &c.
"Oh, autaunl ! said Eliza, one fair
meruit g towards lae end of August,
"here is uncle come from his walk, and
he has brought such a pit tty little
birdl" (4ih p,U);VN' - r t
Who does not know that in uttering
ok aunt" tbe pause is so very alight
that it is of very little importance, and
to mark the rame papse there, as after
Angust, is a mistake. When a com
pound sentcBce ia long, and is com
posed of two general members that
require to be broken up into parts,
more closely connected the two mem
ben should be separated by a semi
colon, and then each abculd be broken
ap by commas if desired. Therefora
there should be a aeoBi-colon after
Awguti. Very much could, be said on
this subject, but we can do little more
than call aUeaUoa id iL
