The September No. of the Eclectic
Teacher is received. Every number
seems an improvement upon the pre-
ceding one. Of the contents of the
September number we would especially
recommend the articles, "Why Teach
ers Fail" and Requisites for a Sue
cessful Teacher" Why will not teach
ers take the Eclectic, and read il? Ev-
cry number contains articles that can
not fail to improve their readers, and
thus prove remunerative. Then look
at the price Of the book only one
dollar a year. Within the easy reach
of all.
We have read with interest the pro-
ceedings Of the first annual meeting of
the Southern Educational Association,
held at Chattanooga, Tennessee, Au-
ust 6, z, and 8, 1873, as published in
the Eclectic for September. Wequote
the following from an essay read by
Mr.. B. WALTON, Superintendent of
Public Schools, Atlanta:
Education exerts a strong conserv-
alive influence, adds to the prosperity
Of a country, renders people more self
helpful, more selfrespectful and more
independent, and therefore tends to
diminish crime and poverty" Well,
so it does One good, comfortable,
neat, attractive school house, does
more to drive crime out Of a commu-
nifty, than the whole eOnstabulary
force of the country. The teacher,
then, is our best cheapest peace Off
Ger.
Mfr. Mcintyre has shown, by pro-
curing the assistance of Miss Prudie
Baird in his school, his usual good
taste and sound judgment, and also
tina. he has an eye to the main chance.
No better selection of an assistant
could have been made. We speak
from experience. Success and long
life to both.
Prot. West Peyton, we learn, has
secured the school at Buford. We
congratulate both contracting parties.
The Ohio County Teachers Insti-
tute convened in Hartford, September
IL, and after an able address from
our talented Superintendent, H. A. NJ.
Henderson, proceeded with the busi-
ness for which it was cOnyoked. Hav-
ing no ''foreign aid," the teachers
found themselves thrown, for resour-
ces, upon thier "home talent" Right
nObly did it sustain them. Never an
other word from the editor of this col
umn disparaging 10 the native talent
of Ohio county teachers. We are
proud Of our fellow teachers. Let
the work 60 bravely on.
Many, many thanks to Mr.. z.
Wayne Griffin. druggist and book
seller, Of Hartford, for the present Of
a nice scrap book. If you want any
thing in his line, he is just the ran to
call upon. He is polite and attentive,
and will give yOn rs much for your
money as anybody. Try him and see.
Mr.. E. T. Williams, grocer, will
please accept our Acknowledgements for
the handsome knife he gave us. We
want the girls all to know that We
speak good word for "Lige." And
say, girls, We believe he keeps the
sweetest candy in town. Go see if he
don't.
The Association Of the Ohio County
Teachers will meet in Hartford on the
fourth Saturday in this month. All
teachers are invited to attend, as we
expect to discuss several subjects of
interest. The friends of education
generally are respectfully urged to at
tend Come, everybody.
| We think it would be inexcusablC
negligence, were we to fail to notice
the fairness and impartiality with
which the sessions Of our Institute vert
conducted by its Chairman, Mr.. r. p
Rowe, our accomplished Commits
Toner. For this, we know he will eve
be hsld in fond remembrance by tn
teachers.
An apology seems due for the al
