DUTIES Or TEACHERS, E7C

/ conceive eauC.lllOn, lit the tiuo
seIse Of the word, t. be the develop
ment of the natural powers OF the
mind. Whoever aids that uevelcpment
is an educator. I thus make il careful
distinction between communicating
facts, and educating-between Il mind
possessed of knowledge, and an educat-
I'd mind. In the former case the pu-
pills are mentally paupers, and the
teacher i dispenser Of charity; in the
latter, the pupils are laborers sowing
the seed of future harvest, while the
teacher watches over and directs their
efforts, and takes care that wheat-not
tares-are sown. The former mind is
a store house which contains nothing,
except wheat is placed III it; the latter
is fertile soil, ever producing harvests.
In this brief essay on teaching, l pro-
pose to show how to carry on this cdu-
eating process simultaneously with the
requirements Of knowledge. In edu-
eating a child, the teacher and nature
are co-workerS: nature furnishes the
program which the teacher must
faithfully carry out, if he would secure Il
symmetrical and not distorted result.
The young rapidly gain both knowl-
edge and power from observation
and drawing conclusions therefrom.
It is the part Of Il judicious teacher to
direct the pupils to the making Of profit
able observations and to the drawing
Of correct conclusions. Give each pu-
pill Il chance. 1nGividualiZe the teach

u In, opening an educational column,
we wish first to thank tho ADVANCE for
the space given, then speak a good word
for Geo. 1Iall;,s, of Grand Prairie, who
first offered the suggestion. and then
our native ,nodesty compels us to ask
mild criticisms until we get our hands
in.
A hearty invitation is extended to all
to help in trying to increase the inter-
est in education. Our county, though
in advance of new places generally,
stands in need of an educational
''awakening" Those who are scho!-
ars are too much inclined to repose on
their laurels instead of helping the
coming man-whom we recognize in
the present boy.
Speaking for the country, the temp
tation to neglect the schools has been
great, but to the credit of the country
districts generally, they have not done
so.
AS to the villages, if one may judgo
by Worthington, were the interest III
general education As great as the inter-
est in dogs, the boys might be rs sleek
mentally as the dogs are capillary.ly.
In sober earnestness, the principal
failing-it is hardly a fault-in both
town and country, is contining our en-
ergies and cash to each individual dis
trict, and giving neither time nor mon-
ey to a general meeting Of teachers and
officers. that we might rub our ideas
together to keep them bright.
1t is useless to depend upon any one
singly. Ii all will unite, with little
time and u good deal of willingness,
we shall see each officer earn his salary,
and wake up the ''corpses" until the
dry bones shall furnish such music as
angels might dance to.
Teachers, OF course, will have to in
itiate the movement, when, it is more
than likely, School Boards aud others
will take hold.

Jones and Brown.

Mrs. G.. A. Jones, wife of G. A.
Jones, formerly a freight conductor
on the c. & A. r. R., and who lived
In Mexico when the division was here,
was deserted by her husband not long
since. The officers of the road dis
charged Jones as soon as they learned
how he had treated his wife. Last
week a purse was raised in this city
by her friends and she was sent to
friends in Kansas City. It appears
that Jones became infatuated with a
Mrs. Lou Brown, who used to live in
this city, and eloped with her, leaving
his wife and child, a girl IA years
old, without food Or shelter. Jones
and Mrs. Brown went to Kansas City,
and we learn that he even gave the
furniture, bought with his wife's
money, to Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Jones
is a perfect lady, and has the sym.
pathy of the community. We also
learn that Jones and Mrs. Brown
were bruised up in a fight at a beef
garden in Kansas City last week
Such is life.

The twO-column article of last week
in the ringsters organ in answer to the
InteHigencer contains just one truth,
viz: "This controversy with Col.
Hutton is very annoying to u.s." OF
course it is, every one knew that.
Facts generally annoy a scoundrel.
The sight of rope annoys a criminal.
1t ought to annoy any one to be forced
to make such a reply. 1t ought to
annoy one to know himself capable of
such a reply. With the single excep-
ton above mentioned it needs no an
swer in these columns. 1t contains
its own answer. We have simply
stated facts.
The above Flag of Truce article APP
pearedin the Htehigencer of last week.
When we said we were annoyed, we
stated a fact, as was every other state
ment We made. We are annoyed be-
cause we know our readers do not like
to be bothered reading such personal
controversies. The point is. who is it
that got frightened at the ''rope."
The above is a poor reply to the
double edged statements we made.
The question is, which one of us was
it that got enough back medicine first.
The editor of the LEDGER and his
friends are fully satisfied with the re-
suit of this gilt edged controversy.
We were sure it would result as it has.

"The Niger in the WOOd-Pile."

Now that the county convention is
over, we feel at liberty, without being
accused of any electioneering scheme,
to make reference to and straighten
up Il matter that was talked about
and distorted in all parts of the coun-
ty during the late canvass by friends
and foes of the party named. The
matter We refer to is the talk that
was made about a negro running for
councilman in the 9Th ward. We are
acquainted with all the facts, and
they are as follows: T. b. Buckner
and +. j. Gibbs had been brought
out for councilman in this ward, and
it was supposed there would be no
other candidate. The election tick
cts were printed at the LEDGER office,
and on the day before the election,
just as we we're printing the tickets,
a colored man came into the office
and said he wanted his name put on
the ticket for councilman in the 5th
ward, and paid his bill. He then left
the office. The editor of this paper
told the foreman not to print the
tickets for the 9Th ward until he re-
turned. He then went and told
Buckncr and Gibbs that one of them
must pull off, or they would split the
white vote in that ward and the negro
would be elected, as a great many
colored people lived in that ward.
The matter was left to friends, and
Buckner was agreed on as the can
didate. In the meantime the Demo-
Gratis we're making arrangements to
90 over into the 9TH ward and do all
they could to defeat the negro. j.
b. Botkin, the peoples candidate
for mayor" seeing that the idea was
going out that he was running on the
Republlcan ticket, and that il the
negro stayed on the track not a single
Democrat would vote for him, sent
prominent Republicans to the negro
and got him off. r. B. Hooton then
came out against Buckner and was
elected. These are the facts in the
case to a dot. Democrats had moth.
ing to do with the negro Gas we heard
alleged) running, and in u opinion
he would not have beaten Bucknel
Gas We also heard it stately, for every
Democrat, and most of the Republi.
cans in town, for the looks of the
thing, if for nothing else, would have
gone to the 9th ward and done al
they could for him-Buckner.
