For the Herald and Tribune.

1t is not a truism that ''school days are
our happiest days" The saying is on a
par with the one that affirms that ''child-
hood is the brightest period of ones ex-
istence."
| always feel a kind of pity for the men
and women who are continually speaking
and acting as though life was a desert, and
childhood the only oasis. 1t is grown up
peoples own fault that they have to look
back for verdure and sunshine.
Freedom from cares does not by any
means imply freedom from trouble. In
deed | am not quite sure but that the hap
piest arc those who have the most cares
the most to do. the most to employ the
mind. Not that children are miserable.
but they do have their sorrows, and | know
that childish hearts can ache almost to
bursting. Older people may have great
err causes for grief than children do, heav-
Ter trials and affections than they have,
but their powers of endurance are greater
and they ought not to forget that increas-
ing wears brings increased capacity for
enjoyment as we'll as suffering.
I am not an extremist don'tsay that
a school girls lire is entirely composed of
miseriee, but / do say that that they have
as much to fret. and vex. and worry them
as any other class of people. and it Is
enough to make rs loose ali our patience
to have the strain .'you ought to be so
happy continually harped in our cars. 1t
is enough to make us look with fear and
distrust upon our future li~ves-enough to
make us dread with a bitter dread the time
when s'womanhood and childhood meet"
to be ever hearing from ou- elders such
expressions as, Its the golden time with
YOU girls''-its May-day now"-"better
appreciate your privileges" ''dfter while"
and the abrupt breaking off of the sem
tence and the ominous shaking of the head
portend a great deal of evil after while.

our own hair and dress as we please" as
though at any time in life we couldn't be
sensible enough and courageous enough to
follow the foolish dictates of fashion.
Now Mr.. Editor | believe in the "gol-
den mean," and don't you think am near

correspondents, when l say that the shares

efforts, wholly make up for the lack of
home assistance and cooperation.
know it is a great compliment to teachers
that they are SO implicitly trusted but I,
for one, would rather dispense with the
compliment and divide the responsibility.
We find everywhere, the greatest possible
difference between scholars. whose progress
is judiciously watched and noticed by their
parents, and those whose parents never
enquire after their studies, except perhaps
to complain that they have not been thro'
more books. 1t seems to be the Ultima
Thule of some parants' ambition. that
their children should "go into" such and
such a book. The question of fitness is
often entirely overlooked. To determine
this question would involve, In fact, some
degree of painstaking examination. If
parents would visit our schools, and notice
and remark from time to time the progress
of their children, the improvement they
make in recitation, in conduct, and general
bearing. the effect could not fail to be salu-
tary. 1t will prove a stimulus and an in
element to the children which nothing
else can supply. 1t would awaken their
PAAhC, diOuSC CiiCli dluOlllOu, I'LL SlluJuldtC
a desire to excel and to please all which,
within due bounds. are lawful, as they are
powerful incentives to effort. The fire.
quent presence of patrons in the school
room would also tacitly inculcate respect
for the school, as one of the public interests
which are not overlooked by the people,
and would thus improve the public spirit
of the school.
This is one view of the subject. An
other, perhaps not less important, is the
support and assistance which teachers re-
ceive from the presence, and counsel, and
sympathy of parents and friends. An oc-
casional visit, a word of encouragement,
even a friendly criticism, will strengthen
and uphold a teachers hands, and impart
to him new vigor and new life. All hu-
man beings are more or less keenly alive
to human sympathy and teachers, from
the very nature of their occupation, are
peculiarly SO. There is. in this occupation,
a constant tension of never, a continual at
triton, from contact with a great variety
of minds and tempcrs, which is very wear
ing, and which renders a teacher extreme
ly sensitive, both to SYMPATHY and discour-
agement. Then. again, the mind becomes
wearied with dwelling too long upon one
subject, and an earnest and consideration
teacher is sometimes sadly perplexed in a
vain endeavor to discover, unaided, wheth-
er such or such a course has been judici-
ously pursued. Contact with a fresh mind
clears away these bewildering fogs, gives
him a clearer insight into duties and
methods, and a voice of friendly encoura-
cement sets him on his way rejoicing.

SCHOOL ARGUMENTS.

Our object is not to find fault or to
criticize. The truth ought to be set be-
fore the people who are not altogether. as
fully impressed with the importance of
education as the interest of the country
demands.
In the third civil district, (McAlisters.
the census taker reported the entire pop
%ulation at 9SS. Above ten years of age,
1872 cannot read and 23O are reported as
being unable to write. The scholastic
population is estimated at 355, of which
number 10 attended school during the
year. These figures show that the COM
mon school interest in the district does not
attract as much attention as the necessi-
ties require. The education of our chill
dren is q necessity which is becoming more
and more apparent every day.
According to the population, this dis
trict has fewer illiterate persons than most
of the districts in the county. This, we
suppose, is owing to the fact that education
has been more generally encouraged.
Washington College, an old and we'll
known Institution is in this district. Frank
lin Institute, Urbana and Broylosville
each maintain good schools, most of the
year. With all these advantages there is
still need of stirring up the people on the
school question.
We are somewhat surprised to find so
many who are unable to read or write.
The prospect at present is, that the chill
dren now growing up will plead in vain
for the benefit of common schools. Wheth-
err the next census taker shall find an in
crease in the number of illiterate persons
or not, depends on how we bestir ourselves.
Something must be done. Every thought
full citizen sees this. There must be a
waking up to the importance of the sub
ject.
As long as the people neglect the school
house. or suffer their children to grow up
in ignorance, they may expect to bear the
ills of heartless Legislation and groan be-
meath the onerous burden of taxation en-
forced for the suppression of crime.
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1871-04-27

A country teacher in the st. Louis
Journal Of Education speaks to the point
on this subject:
The occasional presence and personal
supervision of parents and friends. is an in
iuence of such value and Importance, both
as an Indictment to effort IN scholars, and
as an aid and support to teachers, that we
cannot afford to dispense with 1t.
1t seems to me strange that parents
themselves do not realize this; that In
those interests most vital to them, they
manifest an Indifference which does not en-
ter the management of other affairs. In no
other department of labor. or OF gam. do
we see such carelessness. If a clerk is en-
ployed in our stores, or q servant at our
homes. or a laborer in our fields, we over
look them and their work, and make sure
that they are competent to fulfill the tasks
thew have undertaken. We make sure
that they perform those tasks with fidelity
and despatch that they are faithful IN
their service. If this is not so. if We find
our work half done, or badly done. or not
done at all. we direct in its performance,
or dismiss the Improbable servant when
~
we discover him to be incorrlgibie. 1t is
but the dictate of common prudence thus
to watch over our own interests. But into
these rich and fruitful moral gardens, these
choice VINEYARDS of our children's minds
and hearts, we do not often enough come
with the yorkmen, and w~orkwomen we
have employed. Some of these gardens,
from tho very richness and fertility of the
soil. have run to waste. Flowers are album
dant. but so are the weeds. The trees bear
good fruit, but are loaded with saperfu.
GUS branches. which sap their strength, and
demand the hand of skillful pruning The
owner of the garden should know best the
mode of culture and training necessary for
the highest growth and perfect develop
ment of each tender plant; and the most
! faithful teachers cannot, with their best

A MAGNIFICENT Entertainment.

On last Thursday evening, a banquet
was spread at the residence of our friend,
Col. Thos. III. Reeves, the proprietor of
FARMLAND Place, which we have rarely
seen equalcd and never excelled in delica-
cy and ingenuity of preparation. Mrs.
Reeves displayed a culinary taste and
education which is justly the pride of
every accomplished housewife. At this
feast of fat things" were Hon. E. f.
Gillenwaters, twenty legal gentlemen and
the editorial force of this paper. Col.
Reeves, in all matters of polite attention,
was equal to the emergency of entertain
ing his guests. Wit sparkled around the
festive board and mirth and good humor
gave swiftest pinion to the hours.
FARMLAND Place is one of the most
beautiful and attractive suburban residen-
ces Of our town. In all of its arrangements
can be seen the suggestions of good taste
brought into living beauty by the skillful
hand of culture. Long live the happy
family of this little earthly Eden.
