DUTIES OF PARENTS, PUPILS AND TEACH
ERs TO EACH OTHER
Neither one an-"succeed well without
the cooperation of the other. 1t should
be the aim Of the teacher to make the
school room as pleasant and attractive as
possible This will do much to make the
attendance regular, Oh the part of the pu-
pills: and without this, the success Of the
school will De small Most, parents are too
busy to visit the school in the district, and
yet can find time to go to town once or
twice week; and when urged by the
teacher to visit the schools, they will say,
that from what they can hear, the school
is doing very well; or else that it is not
doing any good, and it is not worth while
going to see it. 1t will not take much
time to call in few moments, say once a
month, and this often does a great deal of
good. There is nothing, except a good
teacher, that will do more towards making
good school, than an occasional visit from
parents. Most teachers have a day set
apart for reviews and it is of the utmost
Importance that every scholar should be
present at these reviews, and yet these
are the very days when parents keep their
children out of school, if they can find
any thing for them to do. This is a sad
mistake. Scholars can better afford to
lose any other day of the week than re-
view day. Parents, think of this and see

The different fates Of tlIe Democratic
party during the past twenty five years
afford an interesting stuiy. In 1910
the Democrats were swept out of power.
In 1874 they elected their Presidential
candidate, Polk, over Henry Clay, In
1852 they elected Pierce by the electoral
votes of all the Stats except four, In
1853 their party began to break up, and,
narrowly escaping defeat in 1856, was ut
terly defeated in 1860. In 1872 Gen
eral Grant was reelected by the electoral
votes of all the States except six, with
two-thirds of each House of Congress to
back him-Register.

ONwARD.-The Republican party is
the advance guard of all reform, and of
all great Improvements that benefit hui
manity. it is the educator of the people;
this is apparent, from the fact that to-day
all the measures it advocated fifteen years
ago, nay, even ten years ago, are accepted
by all parties, and admitted to be based
on those principles that underlie human
justice and human happiness.

THE TEACHERS LIFE.
By ALFRED q. STREET

BY ALFRED d. STREET.
The teachers life! most pure and high
The opening mind with gems to store
To upward point the wandering eye
When youths frail barque forsakes the
shore.
The world its hollow plaudit bears
To fame that's won amidst its strife
But deeper, loftier praise is theirs
Who, honored, lead the teachers life.
The teachers life boasts truest fame:
lis not alone the mind to fill
The heart, Gods greatest work, hath
claim
Upon its highest, holiest skill.
To guide its erring feelings right,
Destroy the weeds that spring so rife
Whilst opening realms to mental sight
This, this, Oh this the teachers life.
The teachers life not only known
Cities the blessings by it showered,
But where the fresh pure breezes blow
O'erpeaceful fields and ways embowered,
How oft the modest schoolhouse there
Is seen, far, far from busy strife,
In Gods own blessed sun and air,
The temple of the teachers life.
The teachers life It's not to roam
In eye of man some towering height,
But in the valley of its home
FOR Gods pure eye to shed its light
How many, as they pass along
The snares within their way so rife,
With towering brow and footsteps strong,
Have came to bless the teachers tife?

AN AFRICAN MILLIONAIRE.

The appearance Of men in canoes
bus'ly engaged in fishing indicated
the ncar,ess Of the dwellings Of tho
Dinkas. the most celebrated cattle
raise,s in this portion OF Africa, and
soon the whole party came to stop
at Mcshc,a. I'll Port REX, where
they went into camp on al island to
await the arrival Of still larger ad
dition 10 the party before proceeding
to explore the inland country. As
this point was in the very heart Of
the Dinka territory, an excellent OPP
portunty was afforded to study their
manners and customs.
One OF the most important person
ages in this district was an old wom-
an, OF the name Of Shol. As wealthy
as cattle could make her, her word
was law in the Meshcra. Old Shol
made no delay in displaying her hos
pitali,y TO the strangers, and came
to pay visit on board DR.. Schwein-
furth's boat on the very day of bis ar
rival Tn account of the color of his
skin she persisted in believing him to
be a brother OF Miss Time, who had
travelled through that country some
time previous, and who had made
herself grea, iavorite by her liber
atty in making presents. 1t is al
most impossible to convey an idea of
the responsiveness Of Old Shol.
Her naked negro skin was leathry,
coarse, and wrinkled; her figure was
to,tcring and knock -kneed; she was
utterly toothless; her meagre hair
hung in greasy locks; around her
loins she mad a greasy slip of sheep
skin, the border Of which was tricked
out with white beads and iron rings;
Oh her wrists and ankles she had al
most an arsenal OF metal, links of iron,
brass, and copper, strong enough to
detain a prisoner in his cell; about
her neck were hanging chains of iron,
strips OF leather, strings Of wooden
balls, and Heaven knows what hum.

erly been Dinka slave, acted as in

With all of whom we had the pleasure oil
becoming acquainted They are evidently
well qualified for their several positions,
and seemed TO be deeply interested in the
future of the University. The officers and
teachers are all white, and hold their posi-
tiOns BY virtue of appointments from the
American Missionary Society, which guar
antees their salaries. Their compensation /
very small, the ladies are content with
their fifteen dollars per month and board
the society paying their expenses 10 and
from their homes to the University. They
regard themselves AS missionaries in the full
meaning OF the term.
With Alcorn University, the Normal
School at Holly Springs and Tougaloo Uni
versity. surely the colored youth of Missis-
sippi have now facilities tor all the intellec-
tual development they are ambitious of ac-
curing OF the two institutions first named,
we know but little, but if, in their internal
workings and general management, they
can compare favorably with Tugaloo Uni
versity, we should pronounce them model
