FOR HIGHER EDUCATION.
The recent innovations in the man
agement of the School for the Deaf,
at Cave Spring, are full of suggestive
possibilities. Six months ago physi
cal culture and drawing, embroider
ing and wood carving were introduc
ed among the pupils there, and their
beneficial results are apparent to ev
erybody and the state should take
due cognizance of them and foster and
encourage the efforts of the teachers.
The same causes that result in the
loss of speech and of hearing, or rather
of hearing which prevents the devel
opment of speech, tend to more or
less enfeeble the constitution of the
unfortunate child. They naturally
get less healthy exercise than children
who are blessed with the use of all
their faculties and can run and romp
at their own free will.
In drawing and wood carving they
show wonderful aptitude and their
nimble fingers work out beautiful de
signs with the needle. Now, the spirit
of imitation being abnormally devel
oped in their minds, the inventive
faculty is more or less repressed. But
set to work on such tasks as those, a
spirit of invention, emulation and im
provement is awakened that results
in incalculable good.
With the girls it is even worse than
with the boys and their enforced sed
entary lives cause them to grow up
lacking in physical as well as mental
vigor and the free use of their limbs.
Physical culture alleviates this trou
ble and prescribes intelligent exercise
in the direction in which it is most
needed to develop the muscles and
lung capacity.
As Prof. Connor has tried to impress
on the public, this in not strictly an
eleemosynary institution where the
unfortunate find a temporary asylum.
It is, and should be, an educational
institution of the very highest order,
and should rank with the schools of
Technology, the Normal and Indus
trial, and all other public institutions
of learning.
The state should take this view of
the case and use every means to pro
mote the higher educational ideas in
regard to the management of this
school. Properly treated there are on
y rare instances where the pupils,
though bereft of their faculties may
not be trained in ways of usefulness
and self-supporting industry rather
than a burden upon the public. The
state should foster and encourage
the teachers on this line.
BICYCLE VERSUS BEER-
Miss Frances Willard was presented
with a bicycle by Lady Somerset i
and she has been learning ,to ride it. I
She has published a book giving her (
experience <nd detailing her trials
and tribulations in mastering the
steel steed. The perversity of the
wheel, its evidences of total depravi- -
ty, its proneness to go wrong, has led ,
Miss Willard to draw a parallel be-1
tween it and human nature. We are
all prone to go astray unless guided
by a strong will. Miss Willard should
have extended her thoughts and
shown how the bicycle is becoming an i
instrumentality in the cause of tern- j
perance, which lies so close to her j
heart. That bicycle is a temperance j
agent goes without saying. It requires
alevel head to guide the wheel through i
the dangers of the streets. A drunk
en man on a bicycle would not pro
ceed very far. On the other hand, a
man can ride a horse better when
drunk than when sober. His relax
ed muscles and limber body sway
with every motion of the horse, and
when he goes half seas over, he can
right himself like a ship well ballast
ed. Even if he does fall, the
fall does not hurt him, for his body
strikes the ground like a wet rag.
The substitution of the bicycle for
the horse means less drunkenness. If
Miss Willard and Lady Somerset real
ly desire to advance the cause they
should issue bicycles instead of tracts
to the poor.—Age Herald.
There is much truth in that state
ment. The riding of a bicycle is equal
ly as graceful and productive of more
healthful mental and physical exercise
than the straddling of a hobby horse.
We don’t wonder that Mi si Willard
should have grown facetious ox’er the
bicycle, and if she succeeds in turn
ing a Somerset against the breeze of
popular favor, it will not be a thing
to wonder at. The bike is a great in
stitution, especially when it can draw
a little gaiety from the determined
visage of the great apostle of moral
rectitude.
The Cherokee Artillery will hold its
annual reunion at the home of Capt.
Felix Corput, at Cave Spring, July
31. There are not many left of that
supurb band of veterans, and their
reunions grow pleasanter every year.

THE ROME TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JUNE 21. 1895,
MOUNTAIN RAMBLES.
Cave Spring Valley.
Like besoms of hope
From each shining slope,
And hoary homesteads old and gray
The smoke wrea-b uplift!
And diletant drifts
Floating over the hills and far away.
Tho wind and the beam
On the silvery stream,
Run riot thiough meadow land all the day
While summer winds sweep
Down each laurel crowned steep
Bearing deep meaning messages far away.
The dews of the morn
On the tremulant corn,
The sheen of the harvest Helds blithe and gay
With shadows that sleep
And waters that leap
Flashing d iwn through the valleys and
far away.
Oh, the revel and rhyme
Or the tweet summer time,
1 What visions of beauty the soul doth
sway,
With the lessons of love
From the heavens above,
Flooding wood. Held and river, far, far
away.
—Montgomery M. Folsom.
Sunrise at Cave Spring.
I rose early, and pushing open the
blinds, feasted my eyes on the tranquil
beauties of the scene. Hastily dressing
I started for a tramp down the valley.
The first bright lances of the sunshine
were routing the mists that trailed their
ragged skirts along the course of the
shining stream, and like a tioop of vag
abonds they disappeared leaving the val
ley all flecked with mosaics of sun and
shadow.
Prof. Connor has utilized the rare
beauty of that naturally attractive spot,
and the broad, green, tree bestudded
lawn is cool and refreshing, with the
crystal fountain at play and here and
there a bright hued blossom peeping
forth. Prof. Connor, however, is a ge
fiius. Naturally gifted with rare taste,
skill, judgment and an abundance of
inventive talent, he has so trained his
flexible intellect tilt he is, without doubt,
one of the “most many sided men I
ever knew.
Sometimes, when I get to, discussing
politics with him, I think he is ortho
dox, then when I hit him on politics he
is heterodox and again when we get to
talking about geology, mineralogy, Me
teroloey, ornithology, and so on, he be
came completely paradox. But he has
done a work there at Cave Spring that is
wonderful to contemplate. Just to
think that he was there actively at work
before the war broke out and here he is,
youthful as Felix Corput, still vigorous
ly attending todiis duties.
He has done more order out
of chaos, and to make every dollar
tell and to run the vast machinery
of the institution than any mad 1
know of, connected with a public
institution. That entertainment that
the children “got up, exhibited in a
striking manner the value of sys
tematic work. Nobody would have
supposed it anjj eleemosynary institu
tion to have waudered into the hall
and watched their performances that
night.
But FanUgetting away from my sub
ject. I set out for a tramp up the steep
hill-side past the colored department,
then down into the valley where a mock
ingbird was trilling away among the
scarlet trumpet' blossoms as if it were
still May time. I watched the great
water wheel turning lazily round and
round while the rythmic pulsations of
the pumping machinery sent the crys
tal waters to the tall reservoir on the
hill to be distributed through the build
ings.
I forget how many thousand gal
lons of water Prof. Connor says it
sends rushing through the net work
of pipes every day, but,there is an am
ple sufficiency for all the domestic usa
ges of the institution and it comes fresh
from the cool, refreshing spring of pure
and unefiled mountain water. An ad
ditional connection has been made
with the creek to increase the supply of
water when needful.
In case of fire there is ample pressure
to utilize the hose in controlling it, and
when necessary the great lawn can be
sprinkled. The fountain is always
playing and that big water wheel, that
looks so quaint and picturesque by the
graj- stone dam there among the trailing
willows does its full duty. I never saw
any'public institution so happily situa
ted in regard to wood, wind and water.
And that crook is a real gem of the
mountains. Rippling over the shining
pebbles or gliding with placid grace
>along the quiet reaches; now eddying
among the water cresses, now tumbling
in a crystalline cascade, it is a theme to
inspire a poet or painter. Though har
nessed to toil at every bend or turning,
it flashes playfully along through pools
and shallows, a dream of beauty and a
joy forever-
Along its banks I wandered luxurious
ly and caught glimpses of the blue
smoke curling upward from many a
cottage home, bands of gold wnere the
song of the harvesters rose blithely on
the wings of the morning, green fields
flushed withthe promise of a bundanoe,
swelling hills clad in robes of summer
loveliness, and far up the valley the triple
peaks of Signal mountain, waking from
their morning nap, gladdened and
glorified by the rising sun. M. M. F.
