Educational Department. Xnr Uamthaal Mon. Probably the moat unique mor* toeut over darted, in an educa Hail way, haa recently hegn piit on foot in North Carolina. Realising I be harm arising from oar short school term, a move ment fur volunteer tsaehnrs haa been started. Him Lena Brinkly, of Scotland county, the youogset oounty In the State, ia the first to volunteer in the more for the cause of edu cation. She offer* to teach eight seeks witboat compensation, iu order that tin ecbool in her district may have a longer term, Mies Fannie Hack, of Raleigh tinred fur her pablc spirited nest and charity, haa notified State ttaperintendant uf Public Instruc ts*, General Toon, that she haa arranged for the continuance of fifty public schools by _volunteer teacher*. While the non is a novel one it opens a broad field for useful ness, the result of which will be lasting. To the noble women who have eunse forward and volunteered for this work, the State owse is debt of gratitude. It ia one of the mast promising signs that the people are thorooghly aroused to the necessity of better education and ant determined to have it.— Charlotte K*wa. Emulating the example set by these teachers, we kindly ask if aay of Richmond'* teachers will volunteer to teach any school in the eooaty fog one, or two months without pay. If so we will 'gladly publish their names, and the name of the school they propose to teach. - “M» gleb Hw." Hon. John K. Kirk, examiner of schools for the University of Kimri, rwived a latter from a school board anting (or a teacher to fill reqairement* stated in the following language: (I) We want aflrat clam woman. (9) Sfaepmat teach arithmetic, algebra, geometry, bookkeeping, physiology, and Latin. (>) We want a woman of enocese fnl experience and sound scholar ship.

(7) While teaching she most control seventy-five high school girls and boys, (t) Salary (40 per month. Mr. Kirk answered by a story: A man naked a horse dealer to purchase for him a horse, the home to be a bright bay, sixteen hands high, weight 1,000 pounds, niched neck, ad Id-eyed, thin qoe trile, flat hqp, tmttiog record three minatee, pacing reerod un der three missies, and of gentle dtepoettJoo, so the children could drive him; price 9100. “Bat, mister there baia't no eich hose.

School Review.' There is manifestly a great edu cational waste in tlie frequent snd uncalled for change of teachers, esjieciallv in the rural districts. In many places we find the term divided Into ‘•summer and winter schools," srith a new tenchor at the beginning of ea.-h. No teach er can do efficient work uutil he knows and appreciates the indi vidual elu'.rscterutice of every pupil under his charge. Tlie same is true of the learner, nn«l where this condition hold*, the work uf the teacher and the capacity of the scholars are largely wasted. Directors apparently regard the school as existing fur the teacher, rather than ths teacher for tho school. Consequently, there is a decided lack of purpose among touchers and a shameful waste of funds by officials.—Ark.

It will be well for those wlio SWn notes, bonds, mortgages, or other solvent credits, os these are commonly called, to remember, that unless they are listed for tax ation they are not “recoverable by action at law or suit iu equity before any of tlie courts in this State until they have been- heted amd the tax paid thereon.“ Tito (topnlation of London has increased fxom 008,788 iu 1801 to 4,000,000 in 1001.
