SEKEG0LEAN.

Shall we have Il scIoolta The Coun-
ty Court will decide this matter soon, one
way or the other. If We have a tax our
schools will prosper, but if there be no
tax these will necessarily fail. Washing
ton County has j greater number of good
schools than any other iii East Tennessee.
1t will be a great loss TO the whole coun-
try for these to be closed on account of a
few hundred dollars which the people can
pay and never feel the burden.
Tic friends OF education have it in their
power to do a great work now for the
cause of Common Schools. If these
schools can be maintained j few years, i'll
their present prosperous condition. the
county will stand at Tie head of the
educational interest in East Tennes-
see.
We desire to see this. Our teachers
desire it.
The prosperity of the country depends
upon the intelligence of our farmers and
mechanics. 1t is intelligence that gives Il
people thrift and enterprise. We have
too little inye sted in school houses and
school books. We must learn to pay more
for education. Taxation is the best and

EDUCATIONAL PROGREss.

During last year several new School
Houses were built in the county, the one
in the. First Civil District being a we'll ar
ranged and commodious country school
house. The Seventh District also built a
very respectable house in which an inter
esting school is now going on. The Eigh-
teenth District completed a comfortable
house last year and now has one of the
largest schools in the county.
Much more regard is being paid now
than formerly to the location, size %ventila-
ton, furnishing and general adaptation of
school houses to the purpose for which
they are designed. Old houses which a
few years ago were called s'geod enough
for school houses arc gradually giving
way to better ones, and in some districts
respectable houses now occupy pleasant
locations. From some cause, the school
house has, in a general way. been located
in some out-of-the-way-plaee or on some
neglected corner of land" that nobody
cared to have These old rickety, ''tum-
bic down. concerns, that we used to call
School Houses are rapidly giving way.
Teachers are trying 70 improve Them
selves by reading and teachers meetings.
The idea that anybody can teach school
does not prevail to any great extent
Teaching is regarded as being an honorable
calling. In all these things, we see signs
of Improvement. The county has eleven
schools of high grade in operation over
which young mel alive to the school in
terest preside. These schools, situated in
different localities as they are, will do a
great work for the county.
The county press favors the cause of
popular education. We have three pa
pers published in the county and the cdi-
tors are all staunch friends of education.
All that is necessary to make the press
more efficient as an educational agency is,
that teachers contribute to the columns of
these papers. There IS no real oPposi-
ton to common schools, but there is fire.
quently a failure, even on the part of the
friends Of education, to give them that
poaiticc support which is so essential to
their success: When the people, properly
appeciate intellectual culture and are in
true sympathy with the cause of popular
education the obstacles Row in the way of
greater improvement will rapidly disap-

Rev. c. F. P BANCROFT.
Principal.


THIS Institution is situated on TIE east
i ern brow Of Lookout Mountain, about
five miles from Chattanooga. The loca-
ton is beautiful, heatLful, accessible, and
yet sufficiently isolated to secure the stu
dent from the mental and moral distrac-
tions of a large town.. 1t was founded in
1866, by a retired, christian merchant of
New York, with the aim of making provi-
sion for the thorough education of the
youth of both sexes under the best teach
ers, and at moderate expense. 1t is en-
tirely free from political and sectarian in
fuence or control, while seeking to prepare
its pupils for honorable. useful citizenship,
and to impress upon them constantly the
necessity and value of personal religion.
1t gives instruction in the common and
higher English branches, in the Classics,
in Music, and in the Science and Art of
Teaching.
There are two sessions, each of twenty
weeks, beginning on the first Thursdays
of February and August.
Board and Tuition, 500 per session

Do Our Pupils Think!

The American habit Of reckless haste
reveals itself in our schools. Not only
are children supplied, at 4 tender age,
with spelling and reading books, arithine-
tics and Biographies, but they are hurried
through them before they have half mas
tered their contents. They are rushed
from one study to another, and from grade
to grade, repeating, parrot-like, uncOm-
pretended rules and definitions, but re-
cei,ing little mental Stamina or vigor.-
Poor children ! they '.bolt,"-if the term
may be cxcu>ed,-but cannot digest the
mental food set before them and. as a
consequence. the mental appctites of too
many Of them are destroyed. In many of
our schools may be found Young mcn and
women who eau gracefully inform us-if
they chance TO be study ing Physiology
that the muscular membrane is cOnpos
ell OF many flamentS that unite 10 form
fbrcs. each of which is i%nclosed in a deli
cate layer IF cellular membrane" and
that bundles of these Ebrcs constitute .
muscle" But of the real meaning Of
what they are saying. many OF them have
little idea. They cannot intelligently de-
fine the words used in the definition
They cannot even give the substance of it
in their own language. Is not such learn
ing a source of weakness, rather than Of
strength, to the mind? The ~crowding of
the stomach with food which it but parti-
ally digests, causes disease and f~eebleness.
Likewise, so it seems to us the overload
ING of the mind must be a means of intel
%lectual dyspepsia.
Moreover, we cannot expect those of our
pupils who advance with such haste and
with so little thought, to attack, with en-
ergy and interest, the knotty problems
and difficult subjects which absolutely re
quire vigorous brain exercise. Many of
them grow weary and faint by the way
side, unable to climb the mountains of
difficulty which rise above them.
Teachers agree that these things ought
not to be, aud yet most of us are too often
content with lecitations which amount to
considerable in the way of show, but
Which are sadly deficient in real thought
and comprehension. Mechanical recita-
tions may be successfully carried on by a
mechanical teacher bat they are If but lit
tie worth.
We are aware that the breaking up Of
this want of thought Is a dltilcuit work for
the teacher; but VIC believe it can. in a
great measure, be accomplished. We are
confident that mental life may be awaken
ed in our dull pupils. This life may be
faint and feeble in its early stages, but it
is like the spark which careful, not vigor-
Gus, tanning kindles to a fame. Asteach-
ers we need perseverance and skill and
more real interest in our work we need
to be sure that our pupils pass over moth
ing that they do not MISUNDERSTANDING
upon which they do not exercise vigorous,
healthy thought. Our progress may be
slow-so slow as to be scarcely observable
but it will be sure and real. What
matters it If our labor seems in vain!-
The vanity is only seeming, and VIC can
wait for our reward.-N. S. d. ID. az

new SCHOOL COOKS.

The AMERICAN ScIIooL SERIES, by
Noble Butler, a. N. embraces some ex
%cellent school books. We have examined
the American Spelling Book, New First
School Reader. New Second School Read
er, and New Third School Reader and
find them capital books for the young.
We like the arrangement of these book
very much. The only rule which the
young child can understand is, '.Read in
a natural manner" or Read as if you
were talking" 1t is useless to burden
the child's mind with a multiplicity of
rules. The author of this series under
stands what the child needs.
The greater portion of the matter is
original. The type is clear and beautiful.
The paper is excellent and the binding of
a first rate quality. These books are from
the Press of John p. Morton & Co., Lou
%isville, Ky.
PRACTICAL GRAMMAR OF II ENG
LisH LANGUAGE, by the same author
is q candidate for public favor. 1t is a
commendable work of 254 pages, but we
cannot see wherein it differs from other
Grammars. The author gives new names
to the lenses and calls special attention
to his mode of treating Adjetives, Pro-
nouns, Verbs, Propositions and Adverbs
in the Etynology.
We cannot see why the author draws
his rules for the analysis of sentences
from Latin Grammar. We think the
writers Of English Grammar are mistaken
when they make the Latin or any other
language the standard by which We must
judge the English.
The mechanical execution of the book
does credit to the House of John p. Nor

FIRST LESSONS IN ENGLISH PROSE
COMPOSITION, by j. NJ. Bonnell, d. d.
This we take to be a capital school book,
1t is not an exhaustive textbook on the
art of composition. Its aim is practical
usefulness. The subject matter of the
book is fine.
We p~rophcsy it will be found in many
oeour Grammar schools and the lower de-
partments of schools of higher grade.
English Synonyms, which. are given in
the appendix, add much to the value of
=
the book. a list OF Vulgarisms and
Slang Phrases in common use, is also ad-
dcd. Teachers may consult this book
with profit. We advise every teacher to
address the publishers John p. Morton &
Co., and secure a copy.
