The Bes, Methods.

Do our teachers understand them? Do
they study to know them? Do they
practice them? @'oiiai9
Webster says: Method is way of
reaching given end by series Of acts
which tend to secure it." And Worcester :
"a suitable or convenient arrangement
with a view to some end" The theory at
least, of adaptation is clearly involved in
these definitions, and the teacher that
does not study his profession in this light
must gropc his way in darkness. To
adapt means to ends is professional. To
know how to do this is to understand
method. Not toknow how to adapt means
to ends is to be inefficient, but the means
must be at hand, and the ends known.
In teaching, acknowledge of the end in view
is therefore, initial, and there can be no
true method that is not based upon some
such knowledge, some definite object or
aim and the moment this object or end
is lost sight of. whatever may be the way
of doing a thing, it ceases to be method.
1t is no longer the work of an artist, but
that of an artizan. The true teacher
ought to be artist, and, like the artist,
work out his ideal creations from the mar.
BILE, :. which shows. none, of it's inherent
beauties until the skill of the polisher
fetehes out. the .colors, makes the surface
shine, and discovers every ornamental
cloud, spot and vein that runs through the
body OF it." The statue lies bid in a
block of marble. its existence is ideal, but
nevertheless real, though none but an artist
can discoverit. So there are in the minds
of all children embryonic types of man
hood, which in the same manner the true
educatoris able to discover and work upon,
drawing out to view every latent virtue
and perfection, which without such helps
are never able to make their appearance.
This is the business of the profession, and
the best normal instruction teaches this
central idea of all method.

Apple orchards sometimes cease bear
ing good crops ata comparatively early
age, because the ingredients of the soil
which arc especially adapted for sustain

them to produce fruit, has been exhausted.
If suitable manure was applied to the soil
annually, the old wood removed gradually
by timely and judicious pruning, loose
bark, moss, and fungi scraped of the trunks
and limbs, and washes applied to kill the

CLINCH MOUNTAIN SPRING, A.
I have been informed that this spring was
discovered about thirty-6ve years ago. 1t
was known by the maine of 'Red Spring"
because of the iron contained in it. The
water is very strong Chalybeate. Close
by, (within fifteen feet) are three other
springs: one ..soft," or Stree stone'' wa
ter. These springs are situated in Scott
County, Va, about eight miles from Es-
tilville, Va, eight from Kingsport and
about thlrty-three from Jonesboro, Tenn.
In a short time after its discovery a
Mr. Cooper used the water and was heal
ed. His disease was Rheumatism. /
was .creditably informed, that he was haul
ed here, and could only walk by the aid
of crutches. In few weeks he threw a
way his crutches. aud and returned home
restored to health. Mr.. James Archer of
an adjoining county was also hauled here,
and could scarcely walk ON crutches. In
three weeks he walked without them,
and returned to his home. cured of Rheu-
matism. Many other cases of Rheuma-
tism are spoken of by persons Of veracity.
Many cases of Liver disease, and Dyspep-
sia are reported. 1t is famous for curing
Female diseases, rheumatism, Dyspepsia,
Liver and Kidney diseases, and running
sores. My own little daughter had spasms
and was much reduced in flesh when we
came to the springs July 18th. She has
regained her flesh, looks healthy, and has
nc symptoms of spasms. She has drank
the water four weeks.
Mrs. Mary Conlev, near Cherry Grove,
Washington County Tenn, is here, and
says she is improving rapidly in few days
use Of the water.
1 think have been benefited by using
this water, but not SO much as I desired.
I am sorry to say there is no boarding
house here. There were 400 acres of
land bought around the springs by COM
pany of twelve men. Any person is al
lowed the privilege of building a camp,
and using the timber. -
This was done to prevent spectators from
purchasing the springs, and charging too
much for use of water and boarding.
There are but few camps here now. But
it costs very little to build one for a few
weeks summer residence.
Health is of more value than money
those who have it should take care of 1T
those who have it not may be healed or
benefited, by coming to the Clinch Noun
tain Springs. / write this for the benefit
Of the afflicted. 7aaa'iS
