New seeding is in many places en-

The heat at times has been extreme.

EVEN LIP.
EDITOR

pupils are good, bad and Indifferent,
and as the people and pupils of neigh
borhood are, so is the school
Occasionally we will find School
dist in which all the people seem to
be interested in the school, Everyone
seems anxious that good teacher shall
be secured; the school house is well
taken care of; and the children attend
school regularly.
The children are taught by their par
ents to love God, and obey His laws.
No swearing is ever heard in or about
the school house. No obscene language
is heard. No cruelty is practiced on
beast or bird on such school ground.
Travellers are not ANNOYED by hooting
or snowballs.
Such a school is credit to a neigh
borhood. But few years may change
all this Let one or two Of the fami-
lies Of such a place sell out and fill
their places with people of different
stamp, and the school will show it i'm
mediately.
If the head of one of the new fami-
lies is man who swears, his boys will
naturally swear like pirates at home
and at school.
When one of those boys goes to the
school, his strange words interlarded
with horrible oaths shock the other
pupils, and they instinctively draw
back as from an unclean thing For
the first few days his oaths burn, and
scar, and wound the little hearts Of the
younger pupils. They have never
heard such words before. But the
fellow has some good points about him
he is quick to learn, ready to do a good
turn, active on the playground; and
those qualities being quickly discover
ad, are in measure taken as an excuse
for the bad points in his character.
Right here that school begins to e0eq1
1tp. There are two widely different
moral elements in that school, and the
thing must be aperaged. 1t is the old
story" We first endure, then pity,
then embrace. " The clustering, swear
ing fellow is in a measure toned down
by the purity of those around him, and
is perhaps, less free with his oaths
but the other pupils have been brought
down, and the moral tome Of that school
has been ZoaOered. Right here the most
important part of a teachers duty
comes in. That boy must be severely
dealt with. The evil must be nipped
an the bud. The older the boy is, the
more important it is to correct him.
The teacher should watch the play
ground with jealous eye, and upon
the first appearance of profanity or
Obscenity, warn the pupil that repe-
tition of the offense will cause his ex-
pulsion from school; and if the offense
is repeated, expel him from school i'm
mediately.
We once heard the late Prof. Carpen-
ter say that 2 man who wonld swear a
volley Of oaths before u lot of children,
ought to be ground out Of existence.
While we may not do this, we may and
can grind swearing out of exist ence as
far as our schools are concerned, if we
only try. Our swearing, staggering
boy may corrupt a whole school, and
these boys must be dealt with without
gloves.

Here is the latest ebullition from
that outspoken Democratic organ, the
Okolona Miss Southern States:
A brave old rebel yell, boys, for

A brave old rebel yell, We gallant
lads, for the repeal of tho black amend
ments.
A rousing old rebel yell, Southerners,
for President Davis and the Confeder-
ate soldiers and civilians who have
cever deserted the cause.
Three ringing old rebel yells and q
tiger for the capture Of the Capital and

How much that sounds like the
