text: Ik Mietymm* ( Ui<-*s Not. 25 ami *J7 Forthcoming Issue 1 WHEELING, W. VA., OCTOBER 6, 1872 Schools. The report of the Commissioner of Education for the United States is full of interesting information. It shows remarkable differences in educational results in various States. Of course, the best governed and most prosperous States show the best school advantages and obtain the best results. Some of the Southern States are making commendable and successful efforts to build up the public schools, but the work is necessarily slow. The facilities are increasing but the attendance is still discouraging. "In Virginia, for instance, there were in 1871-72, 88,077 persons of school age, but the number enrolled in the public school was only 39,315, and the average daily attendance was 27,010. "In Alabama the school population was 388,605, and the average daily attendance only 117,178. "These differences are somewhat exaggerated for the reason that the school age in the States mentioned includes persons from 5 to 21 years of age. It is hardly fair to compare States with a different standard of school age, and for this reason great injustice is frequently done in public political statements. "Massachusetts has by far the best record of any State in the Union. The school age in that State includes persons from 5 to 15 years of age, and the school population amounts to 307,321 with an enrollment in the public schools of 306,777. "Rhode Island has the same school age, but shows a school population of 62,273, against an enrollment of 11,780. "The school age of Missouri is from 6 to 20, and the State shows a school population of 721,481, against an enrollment of 470,370. Texas has 230,527 persons between eight and fourteen years of age, but only 80,783 of them are enrolled in the public schools. The progress in educational efforts for the colored race is encouraging. In 1870, it was estimated that out of 11,500,000 of illiterate colored persons above 15 years of age, less than 150,000 had up to that date attended school. The enrollment in the colored public schools in those States which report the schools of the two races separately, is 781,703. In all the States, except Maryland, Kentucky, and Maryland, school funds are divided in proportion to school population without regard to race. Speaking of results, the Commissioner says, "It is generally asserted that the freedmen have made greater progress in education during the decade than the white, previously deprived of education." While this result is partially due to the greater desire for improvement on the part of the freed men, it should not be forgotten that their education has not been left to local ability, but has been substantially aided by constant contributions from the resources of all the states. For should it be forgotten that, while the education of the colored people, as viewed from the standpoint of 1870, is very encouraging, the present provision for the work falls far short of the requirements." Apropos to the above reference of the Commissioner of Education to educational progress in the South among the colored people, we may refer to the first meeting of the trustees of the John K. Slater fund for colored education in that section. The Intellectual has heretofore explained the object of this magnificent bequest (a million of dollars), to the cause of education among the blacks of the South by Mr. Slater. At the meeting of the trustees of the fund last Saturday they adopted the following resolutions and ordered them to be sent to the Rev. A. G. Haywood, of Emory College, Oxford, Ga., if he accepts the position of General Agent of the fund: Resolved, That the General Agent be requested to consider and report to the Board, through the Executive Committee, a plan of operations, and that his attention be particularly called to the following suggestions: 1. That the income of the fund shall be directed to the encouragement and assistance of promising colored youth, a certain number of whom shall be annually chosen by the authorities of well-managed institutions approved by the Board of Trustees. 2. That the scholarships thus given shall be of such an amount as will help the deserving, but will not be adequate to their entire support, so that the spirit of self-dependence, under encouraging circumstances, may be constantly cherished. 3. That in each institution aided by this fund, a careful register shall be kept of the scholars thus aided, and the careers that may follow after leaving the institution, and a semi-annual communication shall be required from each in order that the experience which is thus collected in the course of a few years will be of service in the future management of the trust. 4. That so far as practicable, the scholars receiving the benefit of the fund shall be trained in some manual occupation simultaneously with their mental and moral instruction. 5. That the recipients of the Slater benefit fund shall be encouraged, when they are able, to return in whole or in part to the institutions through which they have been assisted, the amount received from the fund, in order that it may be again devoted to the encouragement of others. 6. That special provision shall be made for the exceptional encouragement of youths who are judged by the Special Agent or by the Board to be worthy of such special assistance. 7. That inquiry be made as to whether this fund can be made available for the encouragement of schools where no adequate provision is now made for the instruction of the colored youth. The trustees adjourned to meet at Atlanta, Ga., in February, the day to be hereafter fixed. The news that follows. Kurcuit Springs, Ark., and their Water Cure Curative Towers. To the Editor of the Chicago Tribune. Chicago, October G.?Feeling that there is not enough known of this wonderful healing resort, I take the liberty of writing to you briefly, and trust you will give the letter publicity through the columns of the Tribune, that its many readers may know something of what has been done and is being done for the relief of the afflicted by the use of the waters found there. They seem to be a specific for about all the diseases that human flesh is heir to, save consumption, and even that in its earlier stages is often relieved. I have just returned from a visit there of fourteen weeks, and during that time I met scores of persons who had been and were being relieved of one or more of the following diseases, in all their various forms: rheumatism, paralysis, scrofula, sores and weak eyes, blindness stemming from cataract, paralysis of the optic nerve and commutation of the lids, liver complaint, dyspepsia, hemorrhoids, diseases of the kidneys and bladder, dropsy, cancer, epilepsy, erysipelas, eczema, asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, spinal and heart disease, and nervous diseases. They are the only known specific for cancer and Bright's disease, and anyone who goes there with either, unless in a dying condition when he arrives, may expect permanent relief, if he will remain long enough and impose a proper course in regard to diet and the use of the waters. I saw two men brought there on beds with Bright's disease, who had been pronounced worthless by the best physicians before starting, who got well enough in three months to return home, with every prospect of entire recovery. I also saw one case of cancer of four years, and a case of blindness from granulated lids of near two years standing, that were cured while I was there. These are but four cases out of more than a hundred I could enumerate whom I met that were affected with some form of chronic disease, and were getting or had obtained permanent relief. Anyone going there for relief, it makes but little difference what the disease or how long-standing, who will go prepared to stay from two or three to six or seven months as may be found necessary, feeling he is well enough, and who will throw away all medications and avoid all doctors who do not encourage a free and proper use of the waters, will get well. It will be the exception if he does not. The great trouble with many who go there is that they expect to be cured by miracles and because they are not, they become impatient and go away without getting any permanent benefit. They expect the waters to relieve them of troubles in a few days or weeks at furthest, that they have been for years trying to yet be relieved of. Many, and because they do not, they become dissatisfied. This is a great mistake, for in almost every instance, if they would remain long enough, they would receive a constitutional benefit from the alterative and tonic effects of the waters. Some cases do not require so long a time, but the most of them do. In some cases, the water seems to aggravate the disease for a while, but a persistent use is always followed by improvement. This symptom is seldom any cause for alarm, but in nearly all cases is regarded as a favorable indication of ultimate recovery. These springs are located in the White River Mountains, in the northwest part of Arkansas, and can be reached via the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad and twenty miles of staging from Seligman, Mo. A railroad is being built to them from Seligman, which will be completed in December. The city has a population of nearly 10,000, and is as quiet and orderly as can be found anywhere. Being located on the sides and tops of the mountains, and having been hastily built, it presents a rough and unfinished appearance; but this does not prevent me from getting well or being properly cared for when they get there. Comfortable accommodations can be had at very reasonable rates. The location is bracing, the scenery fine, and the drives delightful. The days are never unpleasantly warm, as there is always a good breeze, and the nights are delightfully cool, it being the exception when one cannot sleep under a blanket. The winters are mild and the changes of weather are rarely ever severe. The timber in and around it is mostly pine, and the elevation being 1,800 feet above sea level, makes the location a very healthy one. As a place of rest and recuperation it excels, and one great point in its favor is, that it is not a fashionable watering place, and it is sincerely to be hoped that it may never become one. That it is destined ere long to be the greatest health resort in this country or in the world there can be but little doubt to any one who will go there and stay long enough to see what is being done to relieve the sufferings of humanity. Jefferson County, Ohio, and used to be an old reader of the Intelligencer. He is now a resident of Chicago, and a member of the Board of Trade of that city. In sending this letter to the intelligentsia, I would like to see all who can go there and get relief. I went there with kidney troubles of eight years' standing, after having failed to get relief here from three of the best doctors in the city who doctored me for six years. I feel that too much cannot be known of the place. But little was known of the place until the summer of 1879, and since then cures that seem miraculous have been performed and are still being performed. The Chicago Tribune attaches importance to Mr. Bines' letter, and refers to it as follows: "The attention of the readers of this issue of the Tribune is directed to the letter of Mr. Bines, in another column, describing the new health resort at Eureka Springs, and their wonderful curative powers. Mr. Bines is a well-known member of the Board of Trade, and fully understands whereof he writes." N. W.

On the other hand, the production of Kidney-Wort began with wise cautions and scientific research, and its use ends in restoring shattered constitutions and endowing men and women with health and happiness. "My tormented back." is the exclamation of more than one poor, hardworking man and woman; do you know why it aches? It is because your kidneys are overtasked and need strengthening; and your system needs to be cleansed of bad humors. You need Kidney-Wort. TRAVELERS' ALERT. DAILY LEAVE OF THE STEAMERS FROM.
