ONE WAR CLOUD DISPELLED, j
The war cloud that has been
recently hanging over the repub
lies >f Guatamala; and Mexico, is
now considered to have spent its
fury and cleared away. An agree¬
ment has been signed by represent¬
atives of the two countries which,
when properly ratified, will shut
up the dogs of war, and those re¬
publics can prosecute their labors
under the sky of peace. The ami¬
cable settlement of all troubles in
an honorable way between differ¬
ent governments and nationalities
is the better plan and more in ^ r .
cord with the dictates of humanity,
wisdom and common sense.
THEORETICAL TEACHING.
There IS no question, save that
of christianizing the people, that
should more seriously engage the
minds of the populace than that ot
educating the children of this coun¬
try. And it is gratifying to see
the general interest that is being
taken in this great question in all
parts of this country, The law
makers of the various states are
concentrating their combined wis¬
dom in devising the best means
and methods to attain the grand
result of educating the children.
To open the school door to every
one within school age seems now
to be the educational ultima thule.
This is right and an end to he
greatly desired. Under the pub¬
lic school system of the present,
laws are enacted prescribing school
regulations, prescribing examina¬
tions for teachers, prescribing
text books. All these may be, and
doubtless are, fruits of wisdom
bearing upon this question.
Notwithstanding all these edu¬
cational safe guards thrown around
our sons and daughters of educa
tive age, there still exists beariers
in our school methods to the prop
er and sound development of torm
ative minds. li barriers
retieal, by others, high art teaching.
We like progress and improve¬
ment, and especially in teaching
methods, but when such methods
run ad infinitum upon the theo¬
retical line, then it is that those
being taught lose the very marrow
of their educational opportunities.
Thus the land may become filled
with school-bred butterflies and
theorists, but practical failures.
All teaching should be both theo¬
retical and practical; otherwise
when those taught go out into the
practical world they are compara¬
ble to a mariner out upon an un
navigated ocean without a com¬
pass. When pupils are restricted
quite exclusively to theory in the
school room, and to prescribed
mechanical rules, their powers of
practical application are undevel¬
oped and they go into practical
life living monuments of a defec¬
tive system of teaching.
As an illustration of this idea
an examining board in a northern
state, wdio had investigated this
matter, among other things, said:
“In Fairfield county, where 133
out of 518 teachers were normal
graduates, the board found that
not over 50 per cent of the pupils
had been taught to write legibly.
Out of 1,205 children examined,
659 could not find four-fifths of
forty. Out of 1.0S9 of ten years,
3SS could not subtract 25 from 104.
Of 1,248 of eleven years, 743 could
not tell the number of feet in six
yards, and out of 833 aged thirteen,
who were asked what part five is of
20, 325 only could answer.
Theory is a good thing in its
place, but all theory in teaching
pupils in the school room is not
the proper method of preparing
our sons and daughers for practi¬
cal, adult life. The term educate
does not mean altogether, as many
seem to think,to stuff, to surfeiting,
the minds of children with certain
rules and routine methods, but
rather to lead out and develop
their mental powers in the field of
thought. Boys and girls, -while
under the tutelage of teachers,
should be taught to delve down
and find the solid truth upon
which true theoiies rest, and there¬
by be able to cast aside false theo¬
ries on educational lines when
they come to the surface. There
needs to be practical, as well as
theoretical, training in our schools,
if we would educate our children
aright. Pupils shouM be taught,
in the schools, the whys and where¬
fores, and not merely the “ipse
dixits” of the author of the text
books thev study.

Why He Wasn’t Raised in Town.
Incidents of early life often make last¬
ing impressions on the mind. A few
days ago we were talking with a citizen
of our county whose babyhood eyes look¬
ed upon the beauties of our hills and
dales when Monroe county was clad in
original forests and when many ear-marks
of the indians’ roamings here were visible.
He related one insident that prevented
his being a town-bred man.
In the early twenties when our city was
originally laid off for a town, his father,
at a sale of town lots, purchased the lot
on which Mr. R. B. Stephens now resides
with a view and of locating permanently on
that spot bring up his children under
the best social advantages and environ¬
ments of that day. That father had all
things in readiness to enter upon the
work of carrying out that design. The
saw mill had been put in operation, the
timbers for the lumber to construct the
home had been felled in the forest, and
the oxen were on hand to cart the lumber
stocks to the saw. But unforeseen hap¬
penings sometimes block the accomplish¬
ment of man’s well planned designs.
The purchase of town lots by the then
sparsely scattered inhabitants, whose
rude homes were located by tlie blue
smoke ascending above the dense forest,
laid the sure foundation of a then coming
town. The primitive from growth the beautiful, was being
removed in spots un¬
dulating plateau upon which Forsyth
now stands. The stream of citizenship
which had begun continued to flow in
and spread and the and aspect refinement. was prophetic he
of a city of culture rr
inducement to become a pioneer in the
fulfilment of such a prophecy was indeed
inviting. would hardly be presumption
It to con¬
clude that our friend’s father had drawn
upon the canvass of his conception a per¬
fect model of the architecture of his an¬
ticipated home in town where his boy of
promise could keep pace with the intel¬
lectual progress and development of that
period. they will.
But changes came, as through come the
Our friend passed on years
of boyhood and youth, developing and as the
annual cycles went by, grew known to be a
man—but not one of those as

bar to that accomplishment. bred amid the Neverthe
less, though lie was health
giving lie and life inspiring scenes of rural
life, grew to be a true man, a gentle
man. an honored citizen, a strong advo
cate of that which tends to develop true
manhood, a brave soldier who never wa
vered upon the field of danger. He has
looked upon the growth, progress and
development of Monroe county longer
than any living man, and no man in the
county ever rode upon a higher wave of
personal popularity than he as evidenced
by public confidence so often reposed in
him.
But he was not bred in town. That
home in town was never built by tlie
father who long years ago joined the
saints in eternal rest, but proved to be a
fabric of conjecture, and the son's youth
and young manhood were spent in an ele
gant rural home where the hours of those
periods went by on pleasant wing and
now serve as an oasis in memory’s waste

upon the old pantation hills that suggest
