H fgh-Pressnre Methods of Teach¬
ing.
I feel moved to discuss this sub¬
ject because of its prevalence in
this country. So many parents urge
that their children bo “pushed up”
not knowing the injury this brings
upon their children. Many teachers
are so eager for immediate-
results that the conditions and
processes of inward growth are
worked off and got rid of. The re¬
sults obtained by this straining and
forcing process are necessarily false
and delusive; they soon wither away
because they have no root. Thus in
their haste to make the voung pre¬
cociously intellectual, they burn the
real health and vigor of intelligence
out of them. It is not growth at all,
but a puffing-up: and they find after
a while that those who get ripe be~
fore they are out of their teens be-
. to rot before they out ot , then* •
g'» are ,
twenties. Such a forced and prema-
tore action of the mind can only
proheed by overtaxing and exhaust-
ing other parts £ of the system, and
n8t ^ followed by a collapse
o£ mind itself equally premature.
“The smart bbys of our educational
hot beds generally blossom out into
grownup intellectual manikins,*’
l he work of education is secret
and unconscious in proportion as it
| is deep and generative. The mind is
naturally conscious only of wbat
touches its surfacej that* which works
at its v j ta j 8p <H D gs and feeds its na-
tive vi e „ 0 is as silent as the growing
of the grass, as unconscious as the ,,
assimilation of the food and vitaliz
ing of the blood. When its springs of
l'fe are touched to their finest issues,
then it is that we are least sensible
of the process. “Only the dyspeptic
are conscious of their gastric opera*
tions; the eupeptic never think of
their stomachs; they are not even
aware that they hare any.”
One would suppose that a little
reflection on the workings of the in¬
fant blind might teach us all this;
for children, during their first few
years, before they can tell anything
about it, or niake any show of it in
set recitations, and while they sire
entirely unconscious of it, do a vast
deal of studying and learning. And
sach schooling is best and wisest
when it continues and copies those
instructive methods of nature. In
the mental and moral world, as in
the physical, the best planting is aL
always slow of fruitage. Generally
speaking the longer the fruit is in
coming, the Sounder and. sweeter
when it comet,* Growth is a thing
that cannot he extemporized, and if
you try it you will surely cheat or be
cheated with a worthless surface
imitation.
What teach or 3 and parents, there-
fore, most especially need is tlio
faith that knows how to work and
wait-that faith which, having its
eyes on the far-off future; does not
thirst for present rewards, knowing
that the strongest minds are those of
whom tho noisy SCHOOL hears least,
For under-this stranning of cram-
miog system modest vigor is natural-
ly eclipsed by port and forward im-
becility—the proper characteristic of
minds that have hot strength enough
to keep still. But minds thus heated
into untimely efflorescence can hardly
ripen into anything but sterility and
barrenness? before tho season
fruitage the sap is ali dried out
them. As Professor Huxley
“The vigor and freshness, which
should have been stored up for
hard struggle for existence in

man that up the banner of the
U, 8. has gone the ways of evolution,
and have at least put on the dress of
telegraphy, tho gist of whose mes-
sage: is unknown to the great public.
MiMi of the liberty and freedom of
which we once boasted, and justly
too, lie buried in the dust of shame
and disgrace: The meat money
power of tho world seems to have
gotten hold of the hearts of men and
wrought radical changes in their
minds as to what constitutes right,
Not only is there a wrong conception
of right on the part of moneyed men,
but the same erroneous idea gonni-
nates in the mind of those of us who
know nothing of the influence of
money and its evil tendencies. Man’s
nature is to try to out Herod Herod
And the only reason wo people of
the South are not guilty of as great
political frauds as the people of the
North Is simply because we are un¬
able to make Mich investments. To
illustrate: In our last primary oloc-
tion, how many men voted for Btes
[ihens for the sole purpose of secu¬
ring on appointment under him?
Two typewriters cannot answer
letters of application that aro being
sent to him daily. Think of the men “
rilio were trying to “grind an axe.
Is this a case without parallel? No?
every election is determined by this
class of men. They always hold tho
[lower of deciding elections. Does
this rule hold good in County
tions? Yes, Personal favors are al-
lowed to take precedence over true
worth and merit. The candidate
who spends most money, shakes
most hands, tells most tales, drinks
most liquor and beer and gives you
some, is tho man in tho race. It is
a shame thatacandidate for an office
that pays not more than throe hun¬
dred dollars is “pulled” for half that
amount whether ne gets the office or
not. If we are friends to a man we
sh. aid be willing to save his money
and a lot of the time he is now re¬
quired to sacrifice in canvassing the
country. No man will be a good,
true, anil faithful servant of the peo¬
ple when ho is compelled to spend
his salary in getting the position.
When a man has been thus imposed
upon lie feels under no obligations to
his constituauls from the fact that
he has bought and paid for the posi-
tion ho hold All tho honor and
dignity attached to tho office is alio-
nated, and office liccor HQ public
property to-be sold to the highest
bidder every two, four, or six .years.
When a man has announced bis
candinacv through the country pa¬
pers, that should bo sufficient. He
could then pursue bis usual work
and have no time nor money. U»-
fler such conditions the defeated
candidates would be out nothing, and
the fortunate one would have somo-
thing of which he could proudly
boast. This is true not only of county
politics, but also ot state and national
politics. Tlio shameful evils that
enshroud tho county politics spread
themselves and with a more formid¬
able bearing thapb tho destiny of
state and national politics. If an
aspiring candidate of Calhoun coun-
ty is called upon to Spend ono initi-
died dollars for a county office what
might we expect a caudirlato for the
presidency of the U, B. to spend in a
campaign? At this rate, it would
cost him $13,700 to carry Georgia.
Then supposing Georgia to be an
average state in the union of forty-
live states, it would cost him $616,-
oOO to got elected president of tho
U. 8., or moro than threo times the
salary be is to got for his four years’
work. When a man has been elec¬
ted president of the U. 8. after this
manner, what may you expect him
to do? btealf Vos, Vv bether you
would call it stealing or Something
else, you may be aura he will
back the money used in tho cam •
paign. If there evils aro to bo cor¬
rected at all it must ho done in tho
tho several counties of several states
of the union; sotno in tho verv hands
of the individual citizen. We must
come to have a higher regard for the
fight of suffrage. If wo over make
our Republic the Democracy it was
first destined to become, it must be
done through pure and intelligent
ballotiing, for this is tlio only modi-
urn through which the, prevalent
political evils may bo remedied.
