Advice to Teachers.
\ good teacher will have as few
rules as possible; but there are
some that must be enforced. I
would suggest that a bucket of wa¬
ter should not be brought into |the
school room at all. Let it be kept
on the outside, and let no one ask
to get a drink of water when there
is a recess every two hours for all
such purposes. Let two boys be
sent at the beginning of every re¬
cess to replenish the bucket. If
scholars ins.at upon going out at
thor times than recess, let them
go, but have every one who does
be required to stay in after school
is over for the day and prepare an
extra spelling lesson, This will
will cure the going out. Of course
there are exceptional cases, like
sickness, or when the enforcement
of such a rule would be wrong.
A teacher should have no privi¬
leged scholars in the matter of dis¬
cipline, especially as to the use of
the rod. A good teacher will make
very sparing use of the rod, but
there are cases when nothing else
will meet the case and then, if
practicable, the parents should
have the privilege of being present.
Some mothers have children that
are perfect, and such often give
teachers trouble by writing notes
to the teacher, perhaps on one
tided statements of the child,
Blanks for answers should be kept
on hand, and these answers should
be as brief as possible to be courte
ous. If the teacher thinks he has
been misrepresented, they should
have an interview in the presence
of a third party. If the teacher is
Live five-room cottages, each
cost $1,200.
Five lots which we will buy
for cash, each $500.
Ten business lots in same
block with large office build¬
ings. worth from $300 to $ 1,000
each.
All the lots suitable for
building.
We will pay five hundred
dollars each, on the day of
allotment for five lots to be
selected in the same manner
as the others are.
We will include business lots
adioining some ot the largest
buildings. Every lot will be
within one mile of the center
of the city and will be suitable
for building. You can make
it pay good returns by build¬
ing on it.
Our Proposition.
We want one thousand live
enthusiastic workers for
in the wrong in any matter of com¬
plaint made against him by the
scholar, he should confess and beg
pardon.” It is humiliating to have
to confess to a Miild, but it is the
only honest way to settle it.
< 6 Who so humbleth himself shall
be exalted,” in the estimation of
men, and of God, is true in more
senses than one. It is an act of
true courage to be willing to make
confession of wrong doing to a
child or an inferior.
I would that move of our young
men would be guided by a desire
to be useful rather than to gain
promotion or make money. I ara
sure that there is no more inviting
field for the exercise of this desire
than that of teaching. Ii a young
man will make this his life work,
in the long run, he will come out
better than the average one who
goes into other pursuits. But he
must put his whole heart and
strength and time into it; and if
he will do this his patrons will
take care that he r^eivas a suffici¬
ent compensation. When the au¬
thorities at Andover, Mass, wanted
j teachers for their school, they sent
after Moses Stuart, who was then
teaching at Yale. “We have come
alter Moses Stuart, the commit
tee said. Yale responded: “We
call not spine Moses Stuart.”
“That is the reason we want him, 1
we do not want a man that can be
spared.” Let the teacher fill his
place with such fidelity that his
patrons shall feel that they cannot
give him up, and they will give
him the necessary support. But
he ought to have religion to be dis
p-sed to do this. The time has
THE ENTERPRISE COVINGTON Ga
Bridgeport. You can’t help
being enthusiastic if you know
about Bridgeport. You can¬
not find another city of 2,000
people in the entire south that
has so many substantial im¬
provements and such bright
prospects, There is ground
for enthusiasm, Our lots are
worth two hundred dollars
apiece, on an average. Now
listen:
We have set aside One
Thousand Lots—all good build¬
ing lots, well distributed over
the city, We wil sell them for
one hundred dollars each. We
will give the purchaser the
other hundred dollars in value
in consideration ot his influence
in advertising Bridgeport. In¬
stead of paying the money to
others we will give the investor
this aggregate of one hundred
thousa n d dollais in value. Do
you want part of it?
We believe that this adver-
c jffle in this country when a com¬
munity is looking for a teacher
they always ask: “Is he religious?”
No one engaged in our common
schools should attempt to teach
Latin or Algebra, because it takes
a good deal more time to do jus¬
tice to thess subjects than he has
to spare—indeed more time than
can be give;: to the other classes
Quarter of an hour recitations in
these things are worse than useless.
No scholar should be allowed to
take sell studies as those mention¬
ed above unless he has both capac
itv to learn and a willingness to
work hard, as well as that self
reliance that will not make use of
transaction.

Brickstore School History.
Dear Editor;
Some time since y° u requested
us to send m a historical write up
of Bnckstore School. We have
been able to secure only a brief
outline, and will leave it for those
better informed to fill out for
themselves.
In 1869 there was a school where
Mr. P. d! Coffee now lives, The
school lot was deeded by Mr
Graves, and was called Johnson’s
Academy. This school was
taught by Miss Johnson, of New
York State When the war came
on this school was disbanded.
