Solving Problems.
TOO HARD ON THE LITTLE ONES
Bartow Philosopher Discusses Modern
Methods of Teaching and Re
cords His Disapproval
Thereof.
It two-thirds of a house costs four
fifths of the lot and both together cost
$4,400, how much was paid for each?
Weil, that sum is easy if you know
how to do it. Our little school girl has
me to help her every night and some of
these tangled up sums strain my old
fashioned mind, for the rult of three
is abolished aud new methods adopted.
I remember a sum in the old Smiley
arithmetic—If six men can cut four
acres of wheat iu three days by work
ing six hours a day, how many men
will it take to cut nine acres in four
days and work eight hours a day?
These perplexing problems remind me
of Judge Bob Strozler’s charge to the
Jury in a horse case, where the plain
tiff sued for damages because the horse
he bought was a stump-sucker and
wouldn’t work on the off side. Four
teen witnesses had testified, some for
and some against the horse, some for
glanders but not for stump-sucking,
some for stump-sucking but not for
glanders, and some swore he was
sound and some unsound. "Gentle
men,” said he, “if you believe that the
horse had the glanders but didn’t
stump suck, or that he sucked stumps
but didn’t have the glanders, or that
glanders is an unsoundness but stump
sucking is only a habit, or if the horse
wouldn’t pull when worked on the off
side and couldn’t be cured of it,
though this court knows from experi
ence that he could be cured of it; or if
you believe from the evidence that
the horse was not warranted sound as
against stump-sucking and off-siding,
but only against such material things
as glanders and swiney and the like,
then you must find for the plaintiff or
the defendant according to the weight
testimony.”
My candid opinion is that some of
these miscellaneous problems are too
perplexing for children not yet in their
teens, and if parents or grandparents
or uncles or aunts or somebody don’t
give help the child would give up in de
spair. I have often wondered how
those pupils got along who had no
help. My father helped me all my
school life and my wife and I have
helped our children. It is impossible
for a school teacher to give patient at
tention to each child where there are
thirty or forty pupils in the grades.
Only five hours to teach, in and four
or five different text-books for each
pupil and book, while it canes m« half
and hour every night for one pupil in
one book. Hence it is that only a few
pupils get a fair education in a grad
ed school only those who are bright
and willing and have help at home.
Parents that can’t help or won’t help
lose their home influence over their
tion is turned over to the public school.
which is a free machine and teaches
books only, morals, mocresty and obe
dience are not in the curriculum.
Many little children are sent there to
get them out of their mothers’ way, for
she has work to do or shopping or vis
iting, or must go to the club. Never
theless, a few make good scholars and
good citizens, and for their sake the
system must go on. It is no better in
the colleges, for the most charitable
estimate is that not more than ten in
a hundred ever make a creditable sue
cess in life. The ninety had just as
well not been born, but the ten will
save Sodom, and it will be found that
these ten got their best education at
home. Good morals, good principles,
obedience, self-denial, Industry, kind
ness and good manners are a better
foundation to build on than books. To
make the home happy and inviting is
the secret of all success. The family
is a more important institution than
the school, and love is the keystone of
the family. I scolded a little grandson
the other day and he got mad and went
off and told his little cousin that grand
pa was mean and he was going to tell
his mamma on him. Next morning he
came to see us again and came to me
and kissed me and it made us both
happy. A lutle granddaughter was
troubled because her baby brother was
sick and the doctor was sent for. She
mourned over it tearfully and then
brightened up and said: “Well, if baby
dies I am going to keep him for a doll.''
The innocent prattle and sports of
these children is my greatest comfort,
and it almost grieves me that they
have to grow up and encounter trouble
and grief and misfortune. George
Francis Train may be a crank, but I
had rather be him in that park with a
score or two of happy children around
me every day than to he Pierpont Mor
gan or Rockefeller. It is pathetie to
look at that man who is now past his
seventy years, who has traveled all
over the world; lived in Australia, lec
tured in England. Ireland and the Uni
ted States to laboring men; written
and had published many hooks of trav
el and biography, and at last discarded
all contact with men and society and
settled down to daily communion with
little children in the public parks in
New York city. Accompanied by a
friend I got quite near to him once,
for I wanted to hear his conversation
with the children, but he turned and
saw us and, taking up bis little bas
ket of dainties, walked away to an
other seat and soon had another crowd
around him, and the only reason he
gives for his peculiar conduct is, "For
of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
1 am again comforted with new
books. George Smith has sent me his
latest edition of his delightful and in
structive book, “The Story of Georgia.”
It is a contribution to the history of
our state that every Georgian should
have in he house. It is replete with
the romances of our revolutionary his
tory and the biography of our noted
men and comes down to the period of
the civil war, where Colonel Avery
and Semroes and Kell took it up.
There has just been published another
interesting and instructive book by
General S. G. French. The title is
“Two Wars,” an autobiography being
the part he and his command played
in the Mexican and the confederate
wars, The author was a prominent
factor in both, and he is a vigorous,
pleasing and graphic writer. The book
is happily Introduced by Bishop Elli
son Capers, of South Carolina. It is
published by The Confederate Veter
an at Nashville, Tenn. It is dedicated
“to the confederate soldiers who bat
tled to maintain the cause for which
Oliver Cromwell and George Washing
ton fought.” It is Indeed gratifying
to see our own people multiplying our
own histories and thereby fortifying
this generation against the malignant
and slanderous productions of such
authors as the great Goldwin Smith
and the small Maclay. It takes a lot
of work to keep up with them fellows.
I think we are about even with the
Roosevelt Incident and the miscege
nation crowd. Maybe we are a little
ahead. We have all had our say and
can afford to wait. I still think that
Roosevelt is a better man than I think
he is, but he is in awful bad company.
