The Common School
Ihe above is the title given
It noble institution which has
In planted in nearly every state
■ he Union for the purpose of
■eating and enlightening the
■ids of its youth in order that
■y may be prepared to dis
■ ge their duties as loyal cit
Ins of state and nation. To
■e a more selfish and narrow
Hncled view of the question, we
Ighc say, to place upon the com
■ man, the mental armor nee
lary to meet in battle array and
■cessfully cope with his fellow
■atures in the ignoble fight to
■ure in life.the possessions ancl
I'did gams of earthly wealth.
It we are constrained to say, we
I not believe so grand an insti
Ition, originated with such
leveling motive. Its success,its
llendid at hievements are proofs
Ifficient of the benevolent and
lilanthropic impulse from which
■sprung into existence. Some
Ir best and most successful men
Bho occupy with credit
Isitions in life, point
lon school as their only- means
■reparation. The knowledge ob
lined within these doors is
lldom the foundation upon
Ists a higher, more finished
Idished erudition. Its aim, as
■foceive it is principally to make
■merica a.nation of civilized and
lilightened people in contradis
■nction with barbarous India or
Inorant Africa. But not less
inportant than to sustain our na
lonal pride, is its desire to equip
Bientally all our youth to attend
lo the practical affairs of every
lay business and to intelligently
Ineet the practical questions of
lur day and time. Justice de
Inands such a system of educa
lion. Without it a great number
|)f lead us would be unable either to
or write. While a great
■lumber of us would have all the
fcmple opportunities of a complete
education. An educated man,
Imless a conscientious one, will
Iprey upon his ignorant brother’s
Possessions andjsoon secure them
Ito^himself. [where An educated man,
conscience is not pervert
led, feels embarassed in his deal
lings with an untutored one for
pear that, his intentions are mis
lunderstood, or his acts considered
as unfair and improper. So it is
easily seen by all that it is best
for every man to be educated. To
the end that we may be universal¬
ly educated then, is the founda¬
tion of the common school sys¬
tem. If universal education be
its mission, is it prepared to ful¬
fil such mission. If every one
properly completes its curriculum
then its object will be attained
Its curriculum is: reading, writ¬
ing, spelling, arithmetic, gram¬
mar, geography and history. If
one is proficient in these studies i
lie is prepared to meet tile de¬
mands or practical life and dis¬
charge his duties as a loyal citizen
to the government under
he lives. It is needless to say
that every child ought to attend
school, and receive? every benefit
offered by the .common schools.
All must agree as to that.
the question of teaching is one
great concern, and the methods
employed one of wide dissent.
What is termed normal methods
are becoming popular in all the
states, and justly so too.
It is not pertinent here to enter
into any discussion of normal
methods. The Correspondent
does not believe them practical
to u great degree in our common
schools, as one of the essential re¬
quisite to obaining a good normal
training, is recourse to a first class
library. Something which no
common school has, and a thing
foundinohiya few of the best
normal or, training schools, and
colleges. The paramount
aim with those who
pursue the normal plan is to de¬
velop in the student a spirit of in¬
vestigation and the art of think¬
ing; Liberty of thought and re¬
liance upon one’s own thinking.
Indeed he who falls short of this
has uselessly spent golden mo¬
ments and scattered to the four
winds his most valuable time. A
mind well stored with knowledge
as the result of memory, is very
desirable. But such a mind can
he easily confounded and render¬
ed ineffective under very trivial
circumstances. The man who
has his thinking powers develop¬
ed is indeed a power under any
and all circumstances.
But aside from methods. There
is no royal road which one can
pursue and obtain a thorough or
indeed, a scant knowledge of any
branch of-study. He who
successfully plod through the in¬
tricacies of mathematical scien¬
ces, or glide through the fields of
classic lore, must bow humbly at
the thrown of knowledge and pre¬
pare himself to scale its heights
more after the fashion of a snail
than that of the eagle. We are
of opinion that the greatest bane
and retardation to a students
genuine progress is the popular
idea of rapid advaneement. This
we believe, is partly a fault of the
teacher, but mostly of the parent,
who is apt to measure the work of
the child by the rate of his move¬
ment in his book. The teacher
that abides the wisdom of the old
adage. “Make hast slowly,” w’ll
find that the student makes a
more complimentary showing
when put to the test. Tne mills
of the Gods grind slow, but exccd
ing sure. Blow but sure, should
be the motto of all. Tis a teach
erSjduty to direct, the student’s
duty to do the work. The stu¬
dent who understands the solu¬
tion of a problem simply from
the explanation of the teacher,
has benefited himself very little.
Why ? Because he has not gone
through the mental labor necessa¬
ry to develop the thinking power
of his mind. After the student
has honestly labored upon the
solution of a problem and failed,
then the teacher should come to
his rescue, and his elucidation
should be full and explicit, cov¬
ering the whole ground, step by
step.
We have reason to believe that
at the present time, the cause of
education in this county is in a
more flourshingcondition than ev¬
er before. Ail the different schools
are receiving a liberal attend¬
ance, and the Correspondent tinks
that there are good and compe¬
tent teachers presiding over then*.
One thing of which we are quite
certain, Crawford has just cause
to feel proud of her superintend¬
ent, not more on account of the
merit of hisllig inteence than his
admirable adaptability
from his many virtues of heart.

Mr. Editor)—
The fleecy white snow has all
dissolved probably never to re¬
turn again, but ah, we are quite
happy to see her departure.
The farmers are all just as
busy as they can be, every one
striving to compete with the oth¬
er. Log rolling seem to be the
issue of the day. Mr. J. B. Whit¬
aker had a big one last Tuesday,
consisting of about tvyenty five
hands and the whole day was
consumed m dispersing the logs.
There was plenty of the old flu
minti on hand during the day and
strange to say, peace and quiet¬
ness reigned throughout the day.
Nothing seemed to mar the even
tenoi^f announced,(all their way. When returned dinner to
was
the house, and everything that a
craving appetite could wish for
was ready and waiting. It seem¬
ed that the boys were willing and
anxious to be partakers. Big
John was in town and he and Cap
got at seat at the first table, and
when their appetites had been
appeased. And as they thought
had fconsumed the last of the
chicken pie they left the table
hoping that they had gotten
even with the fool killer ? but ah,
when the F. K. turned a joke on
them by sayiiig he had eaten a
whole chicken pie, a dozen poach¬
ed eggs, a pound of of jelly, a
bottle of sweet pickles and a lot
of other precious good things,how
they sighed, oh, if I had just wait¬
ed ! Mr. Wiley Jordan came up
about 10 o’clock and before he
left he made it hot for some of
the boys in pulling under some
big logs. Mr. Whitaker has done
a good deal of work on his place
since Christmas. He has two
colored boys and with his own la¬
bor they have cleared up quite a
large tract of ground, and have
piled all brush on the same. Be
sids building several long strings
offence. Aside from* this there
are others all along the road do¬
ing equally as well as Mr. Whita¬
ker. ' Mr. John Hortman has
cleared a good size new ground
and has it ready for planting. Al¬
so Mr. Rufus Webb and Bob Mon
crief and the half is not told. Log
rolling will convene for the next
three weeks to come.
Miss Mattie Ellis, the youngest
daughter of Capt. W. Ellis, took
her school at Wilson Academy
about three weeks ago, not with
standing the inclemency of the
weather. Slie has been teaching
regularly. She has about, thirty
five pupils.
Mr. John Kendrick took his
school at Chapel Monday, with
