Suggestions to Teachers.
At tite close of mv last, article I
thought that I had given all the '
suggestions which I desired to |
make t > teachers But upon furt.h- I
er reflection I have concluded that
there are several "ther tilings t hat, J
ought to be said. In, the first place,
I think that the teacher should be
at the schoolhouse early in the
morning, when the ma-s <<f schol
ars u sually collect, and that lie j
should remain there until the lust
ot the children have left for their
homes. There are some bad boys
in this country, as well as in other
places, who can readily be induced
to do things in a crowd that they
could not be induced to do when
alone. It has grown into a proverb
that an ounce ot preventative is
worth a pouud ot cure; and the
presence of the teacher is often
very much more than an ounce of
preventative. A teacher should
identify himself with the commu¬
nity in which he works as far as
po-idble in everything thut relates
to the training of children. He
should, therefore, take port in
every Sunday school, study the
lessons and give the whole com
munity the benefit of what he
knows. The teacher should learn
to sing, and be ready t > lead the
music in the Sabbath school, if no
better plan can be adopted, aud
have half an hour ser apart every
day to teach the children to s : ng.
This will add immensely to his
power. The teacher should have
access to a first class daily paper,
and be acquainted with all the cur
rent news of the day; then the peo¬
ple, young and old, will nave more
respect for him, and will go to
him for information. The teacher
should cultivate the art of making
talks at public gatherings. To
this end he should consider what
are the matters that are most in
the minds ol the people ot his sec¬
tion : he ought to study up on t lies*
subjects, aud be prepaied to re¬
spond whenever called upon to do
so. The ability to do this will in
crease his influence very greatly.
He may say that he never learned
the art of speaking when he was a
boy and it is too late for him to do
so now that be is a teacher. That
is a very wrong view to take of it.
When he leaves school his educa
tion has just begun, ile is uot
expected to know everything or to
do everything that persons of or¬
dinary mind can generally do when
lie leaves school, but he must learn
to do them as far as he may. The
best teacher that 1 ever knew was
one of the very best talkers to an
audience that wanted to be in
structed. lie told me that when
he was in college the faculty ex¬
cused him from speaking because
they considered him physically and
mentally dLqual ified. But h e
learned to do so atterwnrds. He
me further that excellency in
while in college was
no inclination that one would
make a line speaker after he left
but the reverse. He said
he had never known but one
to this rale, and thut
W ns the e-deornted Henry A. Wise
Virginia. He excelled in decla
mation us a college boy and in
public speaking in after Iffe. BtD
Henry A Wise was a genius, and
he was not under the laws that
govern ordinary men.

Oakland School Notes.
It lias been some time since we
have written to the Educational
page so I have been appointed to
write this week.
We have only one teacher now,
but we are doing some splendid
work, as we have nothing to de¬
tract our minds from our studies.
We have fine times during rec¬
reation hours playing ball; our
teacher plays with us, and we
make a special effort to get her
out.
A good many of the pupils have
been sick but are about well
again.
Our school is going to have a
picnic Friday, April 26th. at
Poachstone Shoals, and all pupils
that have attended this term have
a special invitation to go, and
carry well filled baskets. All pa¬
trons and friends are also invited
to go and carry baskets. Espec¬
ially do we want the parents to go
and take the little one 9 , as it is
their day, and we want to see
them enjoy themselves after they
have done a good year of work
m school.
Remember the date, April 20th.
When the heart is Affected
or the muscles surrounding that organ by
rheumatism, experimenting with satnpfe
treatments is like tampering with a live
electric wire, for death mav come at any
moment- If life is worth it, do not hesi
tate to get the treatment which has stoed
the test for over 20 years—Dr. Drum
mend's. Write to tne Drummond Medi
cine « 0., New York and they will send
you literature free, worth i?2o to a rheu¬
matic. It is not as electricity, but will
save your life if you act in time.

THE ENTERPRISE COVINGTON GA
Closing Exercises at Mt. Zion.
The spring terra of the Mt. Zion
public school came t,) a close last
Friday afternoon with an interest¬
ing concert m the evening.
Despite the coai disagreeable
weather a large audience was pres¬
ent, and most excellent order was
given throughout 'he time.
The prograrae, coiisistm of songs,
recitations, plays and dialogs in
ter-persed with music, was well
arranged and beautifully redered.
It reflected much credit on the
teachers, and right well did the
participants do their parts. Each
one seemed to thiow his whole
soul into the work which made it
plea-amt, indeed, for the hearers.
This is a merry band of children
—this Mt. Zion school. Their
school building is one of the neat¬
est in the county and their attend¬
ance ranges around the 100 mark.
The community prides in its
school and this feature >s even
more significant^ with the children.
Prof. P. H. Allgood, of Walnut
grove, and Miss Annie Maddox, of
Covington, have had charge of the
school this term. Their labors
have been effective and they are
enjoying many encomiums from
thmr patrons and friends. /
A Good Investment.

Gentlemen:—L wish you would sesd me
some testimonials of your remedy for rheu
matisra. Some parties here are suffering
bad with it- I lmd two sisters cured by
your great remedies about six years ago,
and J know it is good. .T. F. Hughes,

Notes From Flint Hill.
( Lee Smith and
Tii.lie Ellington.)
There is nothing to write this
week except:
That our school is still moving
and will continue to do so till the
and comes, May 10th.
That we would like for you to
come and see us work ; you wont
scare us.
That you can always tell a welL
governed school when you go
into one, as every thing will be
so still that you can hear a pin
drop.
f ! hat poorly governed
a school
is hardly fit to go to, and the hoy
or girl that likes ro go to that
kind will never amount to very
much unless he or she changes.
That the parents who patronize
a poorly governed school is very
indifferent to the child’s educa¬
tion and careless about the habits
he form.
That regular attendance is Dec¬
cessnry if we would know’ much,
as no child ever makes much pro
gress when he is in one day and
out the next.
That an irregular pupil is usually
a drag, both at home and at school
as-he stays at home just about
enough to spiil his work at school
and he goes to school about
enough to spoil his work at home.
That the regular pupil will like
lp let you hear from him in later
years.
