I I Haying escaped t lie w aste husk jet once your correspondent is en- Ico it raged to write again. The | health of our community is good since tile epidemic of nica'slc* is i ivor. Planting ami replanting corn and cotton are i lie busy occupa tions nf our farmers at present. The egg-lnmt at the school on the afternoon of Faster Monday ! was much en joyed by l lie young- I siers. as well as some of the older ‘ ones. I Our school will close on the |f». i;liui t lie teacher and pupils are planning fora pleasant outing on it lint occasion. , Your Correspondent is glad to note the interest, in educational ! subjects evinced in recent corres pondence in your paper, and fully i agree wit h ** Lycnrgtts” in his views as to the necessity of a com pulsory educational law—one 1 which would compel parents in ' send their children to school nt least half the school term —where there are schools established in their vicinity, By this means only will ail the children of our rural communities get justice in spite of tbe erpnee, carelessness, j whims, or negligence ol parents, who would deny them their birtli- I right, viz: A common school od- I neat ion. Your correspondent Doing an optimist dot s not agree with otiy -1 one as to the doctrine of ‘‘total ! depravity” of children since a i long experience lias taught that there is “a spark of divinity in the soul of every child —which needs only tin- love, torbcaruiice, j patience and kindness of the true ’ teacher, whether man or woman, :to develop By true teacher is mil. mount, the “ogre” who with stern and forbidding demeanor, suspicious watchfulness,and fiaal j|y the club, switch or other in* st rmmmt of tmturc descends up on the ignorant and wrong-doing pupil who needs only to Is* taught right principles and morals h" a chant aide and sympnl lid ic teach er who believes in encouragement and happiness for the young souls in his charge. Home will perhaps j ciinic from homos where I lie en vironments arc demoralizing— but immorality is certainly not. learned I rout the right kind ol a. teacher, and if there is profanity, vulgarity, etc,. prevalent in the minds of the children it timls it ; source in their homo nssociat ions, and from thence to tin- school,not otherwise. If our children had more interesting hooks in their I homes, ami were encouraged in a j love for good reading—tunny beau tiful thoughts learned in that way would replace the vulgarity, pro fanity, etc. An ignorant mind is often tilled with evil which the cullure obtained from good rond , iog would replace with bountiful ideas. Who, tor instance, has lover read Longfellow’s Fvangol j ine, or the Courtship of Miles 1 Htamlish, for the first time with jout having the mind fill' d with j pure and beautiful thoughts. ■ I might mention a hundred or more books which would have an uplifting o|'|(-ot on young mind-.
