Wlmt Shall the Touchers Teach
Beside the Text Books
Road before the Habersham Cos Teach
ers’ Association March 25th.
Years ago a quiet and unassuming
man, who had spent his life in n quiet
way teaching school, died, and those
who survived him, in looking over
his affects came across his last.'will and
testament, which was signed simply,
•‘Louis Agissiz, Theacher.”
They thought hi tie of the strange
signature at the, but as the days came
i and, went aud men and women had
been bis pupils grew up to take the
places of others passing out and as
they became successes in the kinds of
work and callings upon which thev
had entered, they gave credit for it
all to the man who had signed himself
“Teacher.” Then the people begun
to think along the line of the work and
responsibility of the teacher of their
youth. Very few teachers have pro
perly weighed t'no meaning of the
title thev assumed to take, and fewer
pa v ents have stopped to be careful
when looking for a “trainer for the
immortal,’' so as to lie suie that they
are employing a tf.aCHKH. Ye*, at
ihe same time while seeking teachers
thev seem to think little of what
real teaebar means. It is tine that iu
some way they do think they have a
right to In hi the teacher responihle
or the entire conduct, surroundings
and “future contingency” of the child.
This being the case, the question
under discussion is important irom
several standpoints. Tin') teacher
should, of course, then be really com
petent in every sense of the word.
As the physicians is ready to meet
every emergency in eases of admen*
of the physical man and by his store of
professional knowledge lias f with him
always thopanacea for all diseases
wnicli human flesh is heir to, and as
the lawyer stands ready to solve ell
the intricate problems and technic
alities that cause differences ana dif
ficulties among Ills clients, so must the
teacher be ready under all circum
stances to be deliverered from all the
diticuities that come in the way of the
pilgnam child on the massy journey
from ignorance to the brilliant temple
cf knowledge.
Scholarship must bo one of ihe
qualifications of the tcftchcn. We
may vu this essay define scholarship
as Text-book knowledge. lie should
not assume to teach without this, but
yet. looking at it straight in the face
scholarship alone, aud the teaching of
the text-books are minor matters com
pared to the warp (and ,voop of his
capacity as a trainer of the young.
Text-books and text book knowledge
are onlv means in the hands of the
killful teacher and diiligent pupiig
which are to lead the accomplishment
of a successful end.
The great end arid aim of educa
tion is to fit men and women fOr
living in this life and in the life to
come. The practical value of the
text book is of course important,
but the disciplinary value is of fair
greater importance,
The teachershould have this lext
bot k knowledge vo assimilated in him
that I,is mind and heart is o full of it
and he is so skillful with it that he
, can successfully use it as a tool for
the discipline of the children’s minds
No inexperienced sculptor can cave
out the angel in the stone neither
can the untrained, undiscipioed man
or woman carve out the angel ill the
undiscipline child. It is a sublime
work to train angels, it is an awful
work to prepare demons for dispair.
It is High tune the teachers of our
country are getting above the idea of
“Reading. \V siting and ’Rithmeue,
because, as they say, these are practi
cal, they should get to the {point
where they feel the responsibility of
teaching people ‘ T observe all things
whatsoever l have command* and you.”
We should not only get above this
idea ourselves, but be able to success
fully meet the argument from the
parents.
We should desire to Ire more than
a cow in the great wiieei ot machinery* j
to be turned by, perhaps,the schemer
or designer, somebody must have the
source of power. We should seek to
be the pent up steam in the groat
mortal B ilil ?i engine which lias
mit the power which represents
“thoughts that breathe and words
that burn ”
To that extent that we know the
text books thorough;v and have the
skid in handling them and lidded to
this patience, knowledge, virtue, etc.'
to that extent we have pounds ol
steam as reserve power] to bring things
to puss when the opportunity presents
! itself.
The real teacher is the centre o'-
fight and intelligence m the commu
nity and tin-person whom not area;
teacher, the conclusion would be the
converse, To be the first is to be a
benefactor to the race and a co-work
er with the divine, to he the latter h>

to be a menace to society and a co
laborer with Satan.
Teaching by precept is good, but,
teaching by example is better. Yes,
we might violate the rules of compar
ison and say, it is best, esf eclallr
when the life and character of the
man or woman as a true teacher is a
living epistle,®kuown and read of al'
men,
The teacher should be a model in
manners, conversation, dress, religion,
and in a social and moial way.
Text book teaching is more success
ful when it is thus—he commands re
sped, which carries attention, and the
children hang with intere-t and en
thusiasm upon every word that comes
from the person tn whom they have
confidence.
Children are creatures of observa
lion and imitation und rough uncouth
manners and dress on the part of the
teacher leads the children to the same
habits and gives them the excuses
therefor If his language is unchaste
rough and ungrammatical, ail of his
teaching lly precept is a faihue. Pure,
chaste language is the avcniie to the
child’s heart, rouge language stirs him
to rebellion and terms in him the hab
it of o rebellions nature at school, at
home and among Ins fell ws.
Ungrammatical language contra
venes the purpose of grammar study
which teaches us to speak and write
the language correctly
If the teacher really teaches these
virtues bv pieeept as well as by ex
ample in the circle of his school, the
circle of his sc! o and immediately
widens and the whole community
gets his influence and he indeed he
comes a real benefactor in the com
munit v and is a true teacher, who may
wait for the plaudit ‘Welt done, good
j and iathful servant etc.
There is no excuse for teacher’s
being ungodly and'immoral. Beneath
the great framework of true education
is o-odliness and morality, and for h-iui
IC* " *
who has neither, to assume to enter
this sacred domain is nothing less
than to enter this sacred domain is
nothing less lliau criminal usurpation
The great untold hurt and damage
that has been done bv the work ot such
teachers is evidenced every day and
■fieniity alone wilt bring out the uw
fulness of the picture.

Flower’s Example
The career of ex Governor Roswell
P Flower, who died on Saturday last
teaches a lesson which the young men
of the whole country would do well
to emulate. He illustrated the prac
tical 'ruth of those maxims at which
we used to scoff in school—the old
proverb* which counselled thrift and
indusfy. No man could have started
in an humbler sphere of life. He w; s
one of the seven sons and had to work
hard on the farm. He also worked
in a brick yard for a long time. But
he succeeded in saving a sum of men.,
ey out of his slender earnings and in
vested it wisely. By his unflagging
zeal he made money and, better still,
he won the confidence and admiration
of tiiose around him. He was- called
up to higher positions because the
heir to a large fortune merely through
j ihe admiration be had won through
his exemplary habits, and died one of
the wealthiest and most influential
men ut this countiy, The anuounci-•
ment. of his death was so vital to the
stock market that it almost created a
