Practical Education.
Mr, John Jacob Astor, though he
is the possessor < f many millions, is a
practical mechanic. If he did not
have a dolla. he could earn a living
in a machine shop. His lather though
he was the wealthiest man m the
United States, did not believe that his
children should be brought up to hab
its of idleness. It has often been said
that the Asters are the best represen
tative rich family in the country. The
men aro now, as they have been for
generations, earnest, practical and in
dustrious. They are not content to
lit down and take life easy; they are
busy and ambitious. They are culti
vated gentlemen.
It is related that when John Jacob
Aston was coining to the Atlanta ex
position on thospceial train with Gov
ernor Morton the locomotive broke
down. Mr. Astor inspected the
crippled engine and saw at once what
was the matter. He called for a few
simple tools and in a few moments
.epauod the damage.
Some of the wealthiest citizens of
Atlanta were workingmen in their
youth and aro proud of the skill they
then acquired. Some of the sons of
our richest families have of their on
choice gained a practical education.
It is a great thing lo know how to do
somctliii.g useful. The education of
the hand is noble work. There has
been a great reform in our methods of
education during the past few years.
They have become mere practical and
the lesult will bo beneficial to the
community.- At anta Journal.
Tongues.
How careless some people are with
their tongues. They often allow them
to associate with all classes of society-
Sometimes we see nice, clean sweet
looking tongues,that would seemingly
scorn any'lnng “foul, but it is sad
but true ,the most fastidious tongues
are often found thickly “coated” with
tho slimiest of gossip ami slander, and
his gossip is not always of the ratio
cent sort either; it is often “very spicy'
to say the least-
It is unfortunate that the majority
of people cannot couVcrse without
maligning some one’s character. Now
I think if we all “sweep clean around
our own doors” w will hardly find
time to clean up around other people’s
houses- Many of ns appear totally
blind to our own short coinings. But,
oil, how clearly we can see other peo
ple’s faults. A slander started can cer
tainly flv; hut it is very sure to return
to its sponsor, ami with compound
interest.
Women are generally credited with
being the gnegipers of the world, but
men are equally as bad; their tongues
could almost slander au angel. It is
a wonder some of their tongues aj\>
blistered with the smutty tales that
fall so glibly from them 1
Men ought to have more seif-re
spoct than to sit around and entertain
each other with lies that are so demor
alizing. Can't they find decent sub
jects f*r conversation? if not they
would look wiser to keep their pollut
ed tongues behind their teeth.
I trust the “new woman” will find
better uses for her than back-biting
hex - friends ami neighbors' We are
obliged to admit that ignorance is the
main cause of tattling, if we would
oulv remember that to the pure in
heart all things are pure “for out of
the abundance of the heart the mouth
spenkolh.’ Let those who have
never felt the stings of a tongue
lashing or slanderer rise up and teU
me if I am too severe on these human
vampires.
To love God with nil the heart soul
mind ami strength, and your neighbor
us yourself, is the religion ol Christi
anity. To lovo our country, state and
home, and he willing to defend them
with our lives; to work and vote for
ihe enactuien and enforcement of just
and wholesome laws, is politics pure
and simple. To ply our vocation, or
trade, l>y which to support ourselves
and faintly, educate our children, ac
quire a competence to support our
declining years, with due regards for
the rights of others, is business pure
and simple. These three great duties
are so interwoven, that they are prac
tically one —Ks,

TEACHER’S COLUMN.
DEVOTED TO THE INTER
EST OF EDUCATION
Communications for this Column
Should lie Addressed to
J. I*. Demly, Homer.
# ’ "
Prof. J. P. Dknuy :
Kindly allow me
fpace to say that our annual Institute
will be held at Homer and will open
on Monday morning June 15th 1806
at 9 o’clock. It is my purpose to
make these meetings instructive in the
highest degree, and to that end I have
engaged the services of Prof. J. \V.
Marion of Hollingsworth (than whom
there is not a better teacher in the
South or elsewhere) as expert, and
we may expect most superior work.
As soon as received I shall send sylla
bus to each teacher selected for spec
ini work, and earnestly request each
one to make special preparation so
that results may not be disappointing.
I desire lo introduce a musical feat
ure to vary the monotony, and I re
quest that you take charge of it and
arrange a program for each day I
shall leave ihe detaPs entirely to you
feeling assumed that your good taste
will suggest select ions that will he
highly entertaining. lam confident
the ladies and gentlemen
among eur teachers will give yon all
assistance possible.
Tho members of tho Board of Edu
cation, the citizens of Homer and tho
county generally are cordially invited
to tonic out ami encourage us with
their presence.
Very truly,
11. W. Woodino, C. S. C.
Wha. is wanted and needed most
is educated man and women to
direct the uneducated.
No one can tell at four'een what
a boy will be at forty; a child is a
bundle of possibilities; it is one busi
ness to furnish opportunities for
developement.
The maoterly teacher accomplishes
ths feat, of indoctrinating stdf-govcrii
rnent. The Old educators did this
quite as well as the New do; often
times they reached astonishing re
sults. An education is really the
attaining ot the power of self-direc-;
tn>n, of self-management.
We enter one school and the pupils
stare at us; wo enter another—there
are a-> many curious brains there,
but not ono turns his head away from
his books; and yet we seethe throng
is happy *s well as busy. We cuter
another and conclude at once that
the pupils are like caged deasts, anx
ious to get out; lh#y shuttle their
feet, they couch, they change their
position, they whisper, they look
anxious and tint :i -y,
The schools of the country today
are divided into two classes: (1)
those where self-management is
learned or being learned; (2) those
where the teacher is managing them.
The former are the good schools; the
latter are poor schools. In the for
mer there will be an accumulation of
kuowled.e, the pupils will learn to
read, wiite, and cipher, and many
other things. In the latter they
learn but little, no matter if the
teacher was marked 99 in the exami
nation for teacher’s license.
CHILDHOOD MORAI.B.
\Y. A. Dickson Manager Educational
Department of S. C. Keowee Conner.;
The chief moral mission with a
little child is to prevent the habitual
doing of anything that is to be ulti
mately wrong physically, intellectually
or socially. He will do something.
When a wrong activity is suppressed,
right activities must be provided.
One should not bo sharp or severe
in reproof. There is no occasion to
be anxious about an occasioned doing
of things that are wrong. •I’iie ami
is to prevent the frequent
or uniform doing of a thing that is
wrong. The little child will do
almost nothing that is harmful unless
; it becomes constant.
It ts a mistake to caj a child's
; attention too sharply or too frequent
ly to anything you do not wish 'uni
jto do. There is such a thing as
| punishing him in a way to emphasize
the thing he should not do it again.
It may be so emphasized that the
single doing of a thing may mean as
much as a habit long continued.
The art of moral culture is to prevent
a child’s doing repeatedly the unde
sirable thing without having his
attention called to it forcibly.
The moral issue is raised only when
I there is uncertainty which arises
when the thing to be done is ran-, or
I when the circumstances change.
Right to one child is wrong to another,
right at onetime with a child is wrong
at another with the same child. This
is largely true through life. With
people uncultured morally it is always
true.
Conscience is only developed by
great pains, patience and prudence.
It is not in the every-day affairs of
life, spontaneous: it is calculated to
assert itself as the preacher;; would
like to believe. On rare occasions, in
unexpected emergencies, it will
usually be heard from, but in every
day affairs it is formed by practices
easily indulged in and is as silent as
to things habitual.
It may be so formed as to secure
an honorable life with little positive
virtue! Such a conscience has ne se
c ril v if conditions change; indeed,
such a conscience always changes with
conditions. Who can change his bus
iness or his resilience even, who can
form new intimate associations, adopt
any new line of life, or go on a vaca
tion even without running moral risks
The greater the change, the greater
tbs risk. Who has the same con
science about church going at home
and on a vacation ? What teacher
1 has tho same conscience about whis
pering at an institute as for her pupils
in school ? YVno has the same con
science in practicing as in preaching ?
Who has not been shocked at his own
conscience under fascinating tempta
tion when he recalled the conscience
Ihe has always had for other people?
We must not attempt to make a
child’s conscience what the man's
conscience ought to be. we must not
allow man’s conscience to be wlut the
child’s conscience is.
President Isaac Lewis of Snbina, Ohio,
is highly respected all through that
section. He lias lived in Clinton Cos.
75 years, and has been president of
tho Sabina Bank 20 years, lie gladly
testifies to tiie merit of Hood’s Sarsa
parilla, and what he says is worthy
attention. All brain workers find
Hood’s Sarsaparilla peculiarly adapted
to their needs. It makes pure, rich,
red blood, and from this comes nerve,
mental, bodily and digestive strength,
“ I am glad to say that Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla is a very good medicine, especially
as a blood purifier. It has done me good
many times. For several years I suffered
greatly with pains of
Neuralgia
In one eye and about my temples, es
pecially at night when I had been having
a hard day of physical and mental labor.
I took many remedies, but found help only
in Hood’s Sarsaparilla which cured me of
rheumatism, neuralgia and headache.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla has proved itself a true
i Iriend. I also take Hood’s Pills to keep
my bowels regular, and like the pills
very much.” Isaac Lewis, Sabina, Ohio.
