Citizen.
Savannah Ga.
Alule vs. Female Teaching.
The influence in the world's affairs of the
powerful S'a’es is so directly traceable to the
higher education of their peop'e, that no well
informed persen will deny it. One may say this
influence is owing to their wealth, their states
mail ship, their military and mechanical skill,
their material mears, and their ability to use
these forces. This is bnt restating my proposi
tion in another form, for all these are results of
the higher education Her higher education then
is the measure of a State’s power, Dot only in a
political and military sense, equally so in the
realm of art, or mechanics, or literature, or sci
ence. It follows then that no S f ate can afford
to limit or discourage the education of its peo
ple, ceriainly not to a mere elementry course.
We shall presently see how far Georgia has come
short o! her du y and her true policy in this
particular.
To the prevalence, then, of this higher edu-
ca'ion in a State most be asciibed the fact
that such a State’s population is more aotiye-
minded, original and self-reliant, rat made
greater progress in the arts, furnishes better
mechanics and more skilled workmen, does so
mreb for literature, and outstrips every other
in the race of wealth and power. As a political
example of this difference, contrast Germany
with FraBce. How rapidly the latter went to the
wail when the strong and steady and intelligent
TentoD invaded the firey, impulsive, butpoorly
educated Cel I This pewer—the resultant mo-
mei t im of education and diti ipline—was the
outgrowth of the gymnas’a teat detted the
Gi rman land everywhere. Educated brains,
original thirling that scientific training lifted
cp here, as everywhere, their possessors to a
higher plane, The result in politics and war is
no more evident than it i» in the other spheres of
a nation's greatness. The law is universal.
‘Knowledgeis power’ indeed; but it is formulated
knoweledge— not loosely gathered, bnt absorbed,
digested and assimilated under the systematic
disc ; p i e of th higbtr schoils.
It is usually thought that the relative amount j pjgggu* tie avert g' number ot terms taught by

Superintendent of Education Smart, cf In
diana invited the county superintendents to
express their opinions on various educational
topics in writing. He received in response a
large Dumber of valuable and interesting pa
pers. One of the correspondents thcse> for his
theme the relative value of men and women as
teachers. He held that, ‘while there are indi
vidual exceptions, yet. as a body, the scholar
ship of the female teachers is better than that
of the men. Until a grammar grade is reached
the evidence is all in favor of the women. Wo
men are the natural teachers of children. They
enter into sympathy with cbi!d-ra*ure more
readily than do men, and they appreciate and
adopt correct methods of primary work sooner
than do men. As we pass into the higher stud
ies, where studen s commence to think —where
they need to reflect and decide for thamselvas
as far as possible- men do as well as women.
Men command, white women persuade. If per
suasion is the correct way to govern, then the
women h»vs better government than the men.
The persuasive nature of women, when this na
ture is guided by intelligent*), makes them gov
ern or lead children naturally and easily. Men
usually govern children by commanding them.
This is the government of fear ; and while it se
cures quiit. yet it is a graveyard stillness, and
pleasant thoughts of school and work are as
searoe as they are among the silent sleepers.
Worn n are better than men in the work of in
teresting child r en and keeping them busy, hancs
they have the true government of love and in
terest. 1 The writer gives the preference to wo
men for piimary, aDd perhaps, intermediate
grades ; beyond that he has not made choice.
Males do better than females in eartain winter
schools, especially if the pupils are large, and
if parents and former teachers have made poor
work in their management of the schools. His
main conclusion i* that since women are the nat
ural teachers of children, teaching ought to be
a profession almost exclu^vely for women. The
statement that women get married early, and
then quit terehing, is no olj ction. Even at
i comparison:
what, for the fewness of illiteret s does not im
ply that all the others have some valusb e edu
cation, and yet this is too often concluded.
Hundreds, if not thousands, profess to read
and write, but this often means mere ability to
spell ont aline or to scratch ones name with { en.
Of what value is that? All adults who cannot
read freely at a glance, a d copy legibly senten
ces dictated, ought to be classed as illiterates.
This rule then gives ns a better criterion of a
Slate’s intelligence. Let us divide all the adult
population into those who have recived instne-
tions in the higher knowledge, and those who
have only the mere rudiments cf the lower
schools, making no note of the pure illiterates,
for even if these latter conld read and write, it
would not really i elp the State’s rank in educa
tion. Now the larger preportion of the former
to the tatter is the true criterion of the State’s
educational power, and this power steadily
grows with every individual in that class is
a unit in the great aggregatejof irfl tence. This
gives us the grounds of a comparative judge
ment, when we can find the relative proportion
of intelligent and thinking farmers, artisans,
mechanics, inventors, tradesmen, well-trained
professional, literary and scientific men, writers
and students; and the larger this fraction of the
population is, the more powerful is the State.
Probably there never was a more startling
illustration of the value of a broad education
among all classes than is shown bv what oc
curred at the Pairs Exposition in 1S67. At the
London Fair in 1851, Enghnd had c rr ed off
the palm in nearly every leading department of
mechanism and art. In 1867 the sirne England
found herself, to her astonishment and mortifi
cation, distanced so completely by France, Bel
gium and Prussia that she received but ten
prizes in a hundred departments, How did
this happen ? England had not gone back. Her
artis»r s and mechanics were as skilled as before,
but they had stood still. The continental coun
ties, feeling their defeat in 1851, and ascribing
it the true cause—ignorance—bad in the past
sixteen years, educated their workmen inthehi/jher
branches This explained her defeat. Sue felt
her discredit—the mortification moved her
whole people. Her government, her nobles and
her middle olasses bestirred themselves, and
within three years afterwards England had
passed a public free school law for the higher
education, and had even compelled attendance
on her schools. This is but a type of what
migh any day be seen if the educational re
sults were contrasted in any two cf our American
States, one with the higher school instruction
and the other ignorant of or f, rbiddieg it.
And now, my fellow-cit zens, you must pardon
me if I criticise onr good old mother State—a
State to be praised in every respect, save in her
educational short-sightedness. Is not her
newlj established polio- of education, in this
age of enlightenment, a spectacle of wonder?
In spite of the universal pteialence of the
‘higher education’ at public expense; in spite
oi the existence of colleges, high schools and
gymnasia, supported by taxation in foreign
lands and in her sister States; in spite of her
own practice a century ago, in endowing a col
lege before she ever founded a primary school,
we see cur good mother, in the year of grace 1877
taking np a condemned theory of thirty years
ago, and. by her representative in convention,
forbidding in her new constitution theestablis-
ment in any city or county not then possessing
it, even if the people wished to tax themselves
therefore, of any school, at public cost, for
higher instruction than the elementry studies—
actually prohibiting her people to educate
themselves in the knowledge that develops
thought, in the only practicable way. and at the
same time the cheapest ai d most tfficent, by
public schools of a high grade. To my think
ing, the fact that thirty thousand of her native
white adult citizens cannot read and write is aot
so discreditable to G<orgia, as the deliberate
placing, agairst remonstrance, of snob a clans-
in her constitution; the absolute preferenoe of
a meager education in the rudiments to the de
velopment and training of the mind, and the
rejection of an education that shall expand the
Linking powers of her ohildren, and shall
endow them with strength to cultivate the arts,
to grapple with the problems of mind, and to
deal with the forces of nature. I wish I had
space here to quote the calm ytt exhaustive
criticism on this educational blunder, from the
peD of Dr. B*rnas Sears (the first educationalist
r f America) in his report to the Trustees of the
Peabody Education Fand, only a month ago. I
would like also, as a comment on her constitu
tional restrictions, to contri s' Georgia and some
one or two of her sister States, who were wise

COUNTKY SCHOOL TEACHING
School Superintendent Parker, of Elyris,
O' io, ins been making it rather warm for those
v ho would give school teachers starvation wages.
He has given a number of instanc >s that’ have
come under hie observation. ‘Last winter, ‘ he
said, ‘I visited a school where a boy of sixteen
years old was studying only aritbmatic and
spelling. He could write his name but he could
not write a sentence of the simplest kind oor-
rectly. In the achool where he wts there were
ant, safe, aDd so far effectual that scarcely 8Dy
child need die from the disfas»s of teetbiDg. It
is well known thartteething is accomplihsed in
many instances without the slightest suffering
or inconvenience, and thia will prove true of
most cases, if the following directions aie car
ried out.
The great remedy for the feverishness is warm
or tepid bathing, regulating the temperature of
the water according to the degree of heat of the
skin. That is, if the skin is very hot, have the
water tepid or barely warm. If the skin is only
moderately hot the water should be above milk-
warm, or blood heat. The bathing should be
repea'ed, for a short tiire, whenever the skin
becomes much warmer tban natural, or h> child
is restlesp. Bathing has a most happy eff-et in
allaying thirs 1 , quieting rest’e sness and sooth
ing the nervons and vascular excitement. And
is is safe as it is tfftctnal, being free from the
danger ot conges 1 ion of the b*ain, and those
disorders of the stomach and of the general
system so likely to ensue from the use of opiates,
soothing syrups, and the nauseous powders and
mixtures, against which children so stoutly,
and justly rebe 1 .
When it is not convenient to use the warm
water bath, the wet-sheet pack will be found
an admirable substitute, having the advantage
of readiness of application, freedom from ex
posure to the air while in the bath, and avoid
ance of all the shock and alarm which some I
children feel on being put into wsrm wAter. I
Ano'her gr at advantage is, that the patient
can lie in it as long as necessary, without any
fatigue. In the pack, the little soff rer will
generally go to sleep; and he should remain
in it, until ha perspires or becom-s restless.
After the pack, wash off the body with tepid
water, wipe dry and put him to bed. In quiet
ing restlessness and inducing refreshing sleep,
no remedy will compare with the wet-sheet
pack or warm bath, either in safety or ifficaoy.
In rsing the pack the sheet need not be dipped
in cold water unleas the skin is very hot. And
even in these cases, the desired effect can be as
well obtained by wringing the shce ont of hot
water, thus avoiding all shock and excitement.
As above intimated, the pack, or the warm w.vter
bath is speciaTy useful when given at bedtime
As there is generally more heatabont ihe abdo
men than any other part, the wet bmdage appli
ed to this part, will be found an excellent remedy
to abstract the heat, and to quiet tha bole’s
In addition to th® remedies, teething children
should have the month wished frequently wi h
cold water; and they should he allowed to take
at abort internals, sips of pure cold wat6r, or
slippery elm, or gum water.
If the child is not wsaned, it should ba re
stricted to the mother’s breast. If weaned, the
diet should consist of cow’s milk, hot-water
tea, rice boiled in milk, arrow root, tapioca,
crackers or b s nit ernst grated in milk, etc
Should any direct means be necessary to allay
the irritation of th6 bowels, US ' a small syringe
filled with pure cold water, or thin starch water,
after each evacuation. If the discharges are acid
as indicated by their greenish appearance, give
a tsaspoonful of solution of carbonate of soda,
or a few grains of chalk or msgn< s : t, repeating

ATLANTA, GA.
Teething C hildren — Teething is a heal
thy natural process, and not ad smmd, however
much of the latter accompanies this process.
Teething is at most only a predisposing cause of
disease ; but this predisposition is too often,
and indeed, in the majority of cases, developed
into actual open disease by improper feeding,
excessive drugging, uncleanliness, insufficient
clothing, and impure air.
Teething is generally completed between the
sixth and thirteenth month from birth, and
during all this period there is an unusual irri
tability of the system, which is prone to mani
fest itself in various disorders of the skin,
bowels, brain and nerves. The ordinary symp
toms of teething are redness, tenderness and
swelling of the gums, with a free secretion of
fa'iva or spittle, and a disposition in the ohild
to gnaw or bite any hard body that may fall into
its hands. With these symptoms thtre is fre
quently more or les: frettulness and ristlesi-
ness, and sometimes feverishness. Bat this
latter symptom oftener resnlts from indulgence
in meat, butter, pastries, and other exoi iag
and indigestible food than from the teething.
One of the mest common accompaniments of
teething is looseness of the bowels, or diarrhoea.
The discharges may be frequent and watery,
differing but little exespt in eonsisteicv and
frequency, from natural and healthy evacua
tions. Bnt perhaps oftener than otherwise, as
infants are generally managed, or rather wtre
managed, the discharges are not only loose and
and s*.fe operation, whioh can bs parformed by*
any one; often giving the greatest reliaf and be
ing in many ers s the most essential part of the
treatment. Under this simple treatment com
bined with exercise in the open air, and a strict
avoidanca of all stimulants in the way of food,
drink, or medicine ninety-nine casi s in every
hundred of teething will turn out favorably,
and all tha dangers of this critics! period will
ba safrly passed. Should any of the d : s"*as* s
accompanying thia process, however, broome
chronic, great skill will bo required to save the
child. And in such esses, the most skillful
medical aid should be obtained. Still, in suoh
cas s as these, the nain reliance is on proper
diet, and other hygienic measures, and not on
drugs.
In these chronic cases, a flannel bandage warn
on the abdomen day and night will be found
v*ry useful. But the main thing is to prevent
the child from dying of debility. This some
times r; quires a change from a vegetable to an
animal diet. Bat as the digestive organs are
muoh deranged, it is necessary to give this diet
in a fluid form, such as meat juice or essence,
combining it with pepsin to aid in its digestion.
Teething P*-wdees.—While opposed to the
use of active drugs in domestio praotie*, I can
confidently recommend the following powders
as safe and very effectual in the ohronic dior-
rhcei of teething : Take Dovers powdsr, two
grains ; powdered ginger, twelve grains ; pre
pared chalk, thirty grains. Mix well, and di
vide into twelve powders. Give one, in mucil
age or starch wafer, every two, three, or four
hours—regulating the frequency of the dose
according to the activity of the bowels—and
continuing the medicine until the discharges
become natural and healthy. This preparation
does not check the bowels suddenly, but grad
ually changes the secretions to a healthy con
dition. The preparation of opium to each
powder is quite hoaceapatbic. being only one
sixtieth of a graft), while there is only one sixth
of a grain of the ether active ingredient-cal
omel.

considerable degree of toiiudon or .he 1,0,eg j

discharges, during the process of teething j to die bv physicians aud friends. Incipient consump-

be checked suddenly. Oa the other hand the
equally grave error should* be avoided, letting
a child run down to skin and. bones, and per
haps to the grave, under the idea that “it i-
oniy teething,” and that no harm can come of
it. If the bowels are checked suddenly with
astringents and opiates, the child will in ill
probability be thrown into a wasting fever, and
will die of inflammation of the brain, stomach,
bowels, or permitted to go unchecked, the little
sufferer may waste away and die trom debility.
And the danger is increased in the latter case
from the fact that the wasting is so gradual
from day to day, that the child may be reduced
beyond recovery before the alarm is taken.
Wna shall be done then ? Shall mothers resort
to opiates and astringents to check the bowel
complaints of infants? JYiever, without profes

less very judioious’y used. And after all, me
danger from debility and ex: austion is cot so
groat as that from the fever, convulsions, and
infij,mmations that are iikely to arise from n-
judicioos attempts to check the discharges.
