§1* THE GEORGIA CRACKER. SATURDAY OCTOBER 19, 1901. jhe Georgia tracker, Official Organ City of Gainesville Gainesville Ga„ Oct. 19, 1901. THE TEACHER. * ' The teachers of the city public schools how hold semi-monthly meetings at which interesting top ics are * discussed relating to tbe best methods of instruction. At the last meeting held, Miss Lu- cile Ham read .the following pa per upon “The Teacher, ” which will nof only, prove interesting and instructive to our readei# gen erally, but to teachers * over the county especially: The true teacher is expected to know much, to do ‘ much, and to be much, and as the being and spirit of tbe individual must be the cornerstone for the building of an*ideal teacher, I shall speak of what the teacher should be. More important than stores of ^knowledge, far more important than the most: improved methods is the personality of the* teache r. Whether she wills it or not, there goes out from her an influence that is potent for good or evil. ‘It is the vitalizing essence of knowl edge, and the ipotave /power of all methods. This being true, teach ers should have a large ^apprecia tion of the nobility and responsi bility of their profession. C om - mittedvto their care for guidance, training, and development are the minds and character of the most precious t beings of earth. Their responsibility are second only to those of the parent, and when ful ly comprehended are well calcu lated to improve a sense of un- worthmess and unfiitness as/ the individuality and the possibili ties of each child committed to their care are contemplated. The teacher fnust command the Respect and confidence of her pu pils. This must be done through moral power, and m order to ex ercise moral control over theirs, we must first learn to? control self, and self-control is the hardest of lessons to be learned. Only so far as a teacher learns to control herseif # will-she be able to control her pupils. The teacher should seek to make herself what she wishes her f pu pils to be. She should work un ceasingly to correct the defects in her own character, develop'moral strength, cultivate her tastes, and correct tendencies which are un desirable. If she wishes to devel op character in her pupil, let her make for herself a character bo strengthened and ennobled as to inspire their highest respect. When there are failures in any phase of her school work, she should first seek for the cause m herself. If the introspection is conscientiously done, often no >ther search will be necessary. The teacher should seek to put herself in the right light before her pupils. They should be made fci feel that her own rule of action is to do right. The teacher must be genuine. She may be assured she cannot deceive £er pupils. If she is a pretense or a sham, they will know it. S^e should be careful to accord to her pupils .fair, honest treatment. She ■ should establish the right relation between herself and pupil, re membering always that the slight est tendency toward familiarity breeds contempt. Pupils may love a teacher with whom they are in pleasant easy social relations, mm DyspepsiaCure Digests what you eat. This preparation contains all of the digestants and digests all kinds of food.

Real sympathy for ,the pupil on the part of the teacher is of great importance, but a sympa thy which leads to indulgence,, or cause a teacheP tc overlook the shortcomings of her pupil is very hurtful. The standard must be kept high. A pupil does not need sympathy as much as he needs to be led out of himself, lifted above himself, and taught self-control. . Difficulties should not be snatched away that can . be surmounted, but the pupil should be led to discover his own power. The teacher should be as ready to commend as to fiud fault, as qaick to note good work as poor work. Judicious praise is a great stimulus. - The teacher should love * her work with a love so intense that it will keep up enthusiasm despite every discouragement, otherwise the work will be drudgery to the teacher, and little benefit, if not actual injury to the pupil. The teacher should resolve with St. Paul, to say, “this One thing Ido,” and should give herself, with such consecration to the work, that, though she may often blunder and fail in her best endeavors, will enable tier to persevere with renewed interest, and determina tion to greater efforts in giving to the work the very best that is in hej. ■ v ’ And lastly, the teacher should always be teachable; not puffed up with what she knows* but eag er and anxious always to learn more, and the more she learns the more she will realize how little she knows, and how vast are the stores of knowledged still to be acquired. Women as Well as Men • - Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble'preys upon the mind, dia- l urages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness' soon disappear.v/hen the kid neys are out of order or diseased. # Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for-a child to be born afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too Qften, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when ihe child- reaches an age when it should be* able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. *This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. * Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy.

Arthur Baker, a young white boy about seventeen years of age, accidently shot himself m the ab domen and arm with a single bar rel breach-loading shot gun, while hunting near the Duckett place, about five miles from town, last Tuesday afternoon about five o’clock, which resulted in his death at 5 o’clock Wednesday morning at the home of Wesley Jones, where he was carried .soon after *■ receiving the mortal wound. Baker, m company with Hamp Stancell, white, and Warren Brown, colored, left the city at 11 o’clock Tuesday morning to ^spend the day hunting squirrels. They went near the Duckett place and were tramping through the woods at the time of the accident. They reached a branch and Stancell and Brown crossed it in safety. As Baker was coming down the steep bank of the branch he accidentally fell, his gun being discharged and the load entering his abdomen and arm, as above stated. Help was soon summoned and Baker was moved to Wesley Jones,’ about one mile distant, and Dr. j W. A*. Palmour was summoned. The wound was too serious for med ical aid to avail anything, and Baker died after lingering several hours. No blam9 attaches to the other boys for his death,, as the shot was purely accidental. Drew Baker is the father of the boy, who he lived" with Mrs, Eberhart on the Athens road. , - - S ,•>' f. ?sf1 ■ i The Kind To in use for over SO Have Alwkys Bbug-Iit, and which has * "* yca *?>. has 7 the signatures and has been made under his v ^ son al supervision since itsimw Aliow no one to deceive you in «!?
