by the Rev. Jas. A. Chrisfield and lady.
Mr.. Chrisield is the authorized Superin-

Presbyterian General Assembly. He and his
wife, (who IS North Carolinian } were edu-
Gated at Lincoln College, Chester County,
Pennsylvania, have lived in Lexington about
13 months, where he is looked upon as a
very pious, prudent and successful preacher
of the gospel, and eminently qualified to do
much good, both as preacher and teacher.

is worthy of particular notice, from the
prompt and ready responses to the various
questions in the exercises. 1t puts the ques-

educational Colunu,

We take this occasion to return our
thanks to the Teachers Association
of this County, for that expression
Of confidence which has continued to
us the duty of seeing to it that
this department of the Telegraph is
suitably filled each week. Wewould
therefore renew our bow editorial. =
But let it be distinctly understood
that the character Of this column will
depend upon the promptitude with
which teachers respond to their du-
ties in the line Of contributions. We
shall arrange the material presented,
and may, perhaps, add our mite from
time to time; but unless those most
interested sustain an enterprise OF
this character, how can it be expect
ed that others will labor to elevate
their calling for them? We might
almost say, that whoever lacks sufi-
cient public spirit to perform the little
he or she may be able to do for the
general good, deserves to remain for
ever at the lowest round Of the pro-
fessional ladder, and at corresponding
compensation. Live teachers viii
be known and appreciated by an OBJ
serving public.
Articles pointed and practical will
be most likely to receive attention.
Theories in abundance are prevalent,
but the practical application-the ho,0
to DIS not SO generally under
stood. Probably there is no teacher,
however inexperienced, that cannot
suggest some idea by which others
may be benefited. These practical
hints, pertaining directly to the work,
are desired above all else. Many
teachers find some particular branch
more agreeable and congenial to teach
than others, and have madea special
ty Of it. While we do not by any
means uphold the riding of any par
ticular ''hobby'' in the schooI-room,
to the detriment of other studies
equally essential, yet since the prac-
lice is prevalent, teachers should be
able to enlighten others in regard to
methods Of conducting Rotations in
these favorite branches. Ifany excel
in teaching photography, others
would be glad to know how it is ac-
complished. Fin Elocution, Gram
mar, Mathematics or Geography,
there are many that need the benefit
Of successful experience in all these.
It's for just this purpose Of giving
expression TO the practical ideas OF
those in the work, for mutual profit,
that this column has been set apart,
and we trust that the teachers of Ike
nosha County will show their appre-
citation Of the privilege by doing their
duty in relation to it hereafter.
