Too Much Memory Work.

A Mobile newspaper sensibly says
that the prime evil of the prevail
ing method of teaching consists in
the careful cultivation of the mem
ory to the neglect of the thinking
powers. Commencing with the
teachers, even Of the highest grade,
down to the youngest child in the
school. there is an almost slavish adj
herence to the mere language of the
textbooks. Teachers do not trouble
themselves to study over the lessons
to comprehend throughly their full
significance, but on the contrary on
ly too frequently 60 into the class
room and have to depend upon the
book in order TO hear the lesson.
In theory this is not allowed, but in
practice it is pretty general. Such
being the case, the teacher, having
no higher sense of responsibility
than the necessity of going through
certain form i'm order to secure the
quarters salary, is very we'll content
to find the scholar perfect in the
mere language of technicalities Of
the lesson. The scholar, finding
nothing further required, is only too
glad to perform the comparatively
easy task of committing SO many
lines or paragraphs to memory. leav-
ing its comprehension severely
alone, or to follow blindly rules with
out any pains to discover their scope
and value. AS a consequence most
school-chiIdren have their minds
choked with dates, facts. and the
mere language of laws and princi-
pies Of which they have no under
standing whatever, and aside from
the routine of the text books know
absolutely nothing. and not made
their own, by mental digestion, any
appreciable portion of the knowl-
edge they have spent SO many hours

EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION.

The adjourned meeting of the
Baptist Educational Convention,
which held its first session at Messy
Creek. on the 23d of July last, reas-
sembled ut the Baptist Church in
this place on the 10th, Rev. n. B.
Goforth, of Messy Creek, presiding,
and good attendance.
The Committee appointed at the
first meeting to draft constitution
made their report, which was adop-
ted and a permanent organization
effected by the election of the fol.
lowing officers:
Rev. j. f. B. Mays. Presidents;
Rev. t. G. Teasdale. 1st Vice Presi-
dent; Rev. A. M. Cartlege, I'd. Vice
President; /; w. A. G.. Brown, Secre-
tary and r. r. Bryan. Treasurer.
The Convention then being ready
for business, educational matters
were discussed at some length, and
the desirability of the early estab-
lishment of a denominational paper
to be located at Knoxville, fully set
forth. .
The Educational Convention re-
sumed its deliberations at Z P. NJ,
Saturday. The resolution recon-
mending Bristol Female College as
worthy the sympathy and patronage
of the denomination was taken up.
Rev. E. Dodson, who obtained the
floor gave way for the reading of
paper by B. G. Maynard, ,on symmet-
rical education.
Rev. T. T. Eaton said that he
feared the public school system
would not work the grand results
hoped for by us. We needed teach
ers' institutes to prepare teachers ;
that he favored the idea held by the
read-that the teachers should
know how to develop all the powers
of the person-the individual.
Rev. DR.. Goforth questioned the
of endorsing the Bristol
Female College, He did not think
the convention should endorse this
institution and thus establish pre-
cedent which might trammel or en-
barrass the future operations of the
body.
Prof. R. R. Bryan, of Messy
Creek, moved an amendment to the
resolution by adding Messy Greek
College, which was accepted.
The Convention adjourned to meet
at the call of the Executive Commit
tee.

COLD IND COMMERCE.

The Albany Argus says: The
farmers have been borne down by
the immense load placed upon them
by Administration policy. In their
struggles they produced a convul-
sion in railroad circles, and that in
turn has caused a revulsions in all
fancy circles. If it was not for the
fact that our products are in great
demand, owing to the short crops
in Europe, this would produce dis
astrous stagnation, from the want
of funds to move the crops. As it
is, however, England and France
must have food. Their Standing
horror is bread riots; aud our pro-
ducts can avert them. The suspen-
sions OF the credit system causes
them to turn to gold as the means
with which to purchase our produce.
The grain dealers of England are
independent of the classes who are
exporting goods to this country.
Our dry goods importers may owe
the dealers of Europe largely; but
they do not owe the grain dealers,
who are England importers. Until
the system of exchange is fully
restored at least, these latter will
use gold, for they must have our
grain And thus will be supplied
the funds necessary to move our
produce to the seaboard. And this
will remove the burden under which
the farmers labored." tf'+.--
