Female Institute.

We take pleasure in commencing this
institution as one of the best in East
Tennessee, if notin the entire South
Prof. HI. Presnell is an earnest and indie
fatigable instructor, devoting his whole
soul and energy TO his avocation. Re-
Gently he has greatly enhanced the beauty
of the grounds by terracing, and the deep
cool shades of the grove, that embosoms
the building, invites to luxurious shelter
from the summer heats. In the interior
arrangement, the Professor has made ma
ny Improvements combining comfort and
convenience in various ways. We can
confidently assure parties at a distance
that they can select no better place than
this college and no more worthy and ac-
complished p~receptor than Prof. Pressnell.
Here it is the object to cultivate the heart
as well as the mind, and if the young lady
has applied herself diligently and treas
ured the moral and religious precepts ever
presented to her, she goes forth from these
walls in all the glorious dignity and at
~tractive grace of an exalted woman-hood
which has been reared upon the aliment
oftruth and true nobility.
The present session closes in a few days
with exercises hat will be highly enter
tanning. During the present year, one
hundred and fifty pupils have been enrolled.
We hope that. next session this number
will be considerably increased.

The Secret Of Success.

Our schools ought to teach more self
reliance, i. e., develop by cultivation more
of this mind element. In like manner,
they should develop among the pupils
Perseverance. Let it be understood once
for all that there is no excellence without
persistent effort and labor. Perseverance
gives power to weakness, and opens to
poverty the worlds wealth it spreads fer
tllity over the barren landscape, and bids
the choicest fruits and flowers spring up
and flourish in the desert abode of thorns
and briers. 1t is the secret of every sue
cessful life. with time II mulberry leaf
becomes SATIN" The power of c%oncentra-
ton, enthusiasm, patience, humility, and
many other characteristics of rue man
hood, the teacher ought to develop; and
this is his business rather than to spend
the whole time in futile efforts to stuff the
minds of pupils with the contents of text
books. The books are the tools with
which this work is to be done, and the
pupils should have plenty of them and
good ones 90. But use a book for the
purpose of developing the powersof mind,
is a very different thing from using it for
the purpose of examining the mind with
its contents. 1t is one thing to teach a
subject, but a very different thing to teach
a book, and yet the use of the book is re-
ouired as much in one case as the other.
We do not advocate disuse of books but
the right use of books and here we may
remark that, in an important sense. to
teach pupils the right use of books. is to
educate them. One of the most impor-
tant parts ofschool work is to teach pupils
how to study-and n cause of complaint
against our American system of schools at
the present time arises out of the fact that
the pupils too frequently say their lessons
rather there can be but little progress in
learning, and by means of study the manly
powers are developed. To teach pupils
how to study,to adapt means to ends so as
to develop the powers of true manhood, is
the business of our profession. To do
these things requires an active energy at
the helm. The teacher, therefore, hike
the artist, must first of all, mix his colors
with brains" rFV-

.Washington County Agricultural
and Mechanical Association.

As will be seen BY reference to another
column there was an informal meeting of
the Stock holders of this company held at
the Court House on last Monday. Con
siderable interest was manifested, SO
much so as to remove all doubt as to a
failure of the enterprise. Many OF our
best and most enterprising citizens have
taken stock, no doubt believing, as we do,
that it will be a paying institution. 1t is
now generally believed that we Can have
a fair this fall hat will compare favorably
with other counties that have taken the
start of us. To do this it must be re-
membered that the public mind is so con-
stituted that it desires and Graves some
thing amusing in the way of attraction
But we are we'll aware that these should
not be the most prominent on such occas-
ions. Success depends in a great meas
ure on the number and variety of i'm
proved stock, improved and labor saving
implements for the farmer and mechanic,
the best specimens of grain seed &c, as
well as all the different kinds of house
hold goods.
1t is generally very easy to secure all
these things from other sections of the
country, but that would not represent
our own industry. To get up a credita-
bic fair it involves a large amount oflabor
and money. We have already a sufh-
cheney of stock taken to operat-
ing, still the company needs more, and it
IS to be hoped that the remaining stock
will soon be taken by our enterprising
farmers, as it will certainly pay them all a
better per cent than they can possibly
secure by l%oaning. We believe that the
citizens throughout the county need only
20 be called upon. to secure their assis-
tancc. We feel encouraged as we are now
lcntering upon a new era, one that has
long been needed, to encourage home
industry.
Agricultural and mechanical fairs are
well calculated to give a new impetus to
al other business, and should this move
1nent succeed it will not only help a por-
zion of our citizens, but will be of great
benefit to all. We call u pom every farm
er and mechanic, as well as every lady
In the county to begin now to make pre-
partitions to have something nice for the
fair, which will no doubt take place in Oc-
tober or November next.

THE SCHOOL

Many of US, no doubt, as we look back
over tho labors of the past year, can see
much that might have been done for the
advancement of the educational interests
of the country. At the close of the schol-
astic year, it is, perhaps, not improper to
take an educational out look of the past.
A few years ago, we seldom heard any,
thing about Common Schools. A great
change has come over the people, for they
now talk of free schools which ten gears
ago attracted no attention at all.
In 1866, the Legislature passed a School
Law which was amended in 1867, and
made as perfect as circumstances then al
lowed. Under this law great progress in
educational matters was made within the
space af three short years. A greater num-
Der of children were gathered into the
schools and more money expended than
ever had been before in the State.
In 1869, the School Law was repealed,
and the County System set on foot. AL
most two years have elapsed since its in
auguration, still but little has been done.
Six years ago. Tennessee had never en-
joyed a School System worthy of the name.
Within this short time. Notwithstanding
our retrograde motion in school legislation,
wonderful results have been developed.
Politicians advocate free schools,
the pulpit defends them and the Press
with its Briarean hand and thousand
tongues stands ready to aid them.
Much has been done, but much more
ought to have been done. But few school
houses nave been erected during the year.
Most of the children in the State have gone
without any schooling. Less than one
half attended school at all. How long
will this state of things continue?

well as convenience has been consuited.-

convenience. Is it not a propitious time
Tor our young folks to form an amateur
