Mr.. J.B. Watkins writes :: sour school
continues to flourish; I have not heard
a word of complaint from any quarter.
The 9Honea Path patrons trust to- the
Judgment of the teacher, and they know
just how to make a school prosper; the
children are bright, and are encouraged
and helped by their parents. With such
parents and such children teaching is
pleasant and interesting" Fortunate is
the teacher who has the hearty co-opera:
ton Of his patrons. Many of the patrons
Of our public schools have yet to learn
the Importance Of helping the teacher.
They need not necessarily help the child
with his arithmetic or history lesson, but
they cannot afford to neglect to teach
him the all-inportant lesson Of neatness,
attention, punctuality and obedience.

The following neat note is from Miss
tenora Hubbard. We have examined
with much pleasure the exercises alluded
to and found them we'll up to what we
had expected from what we:knew other
systematic plans of teaching. They
reflect much credit upon the skill and
earnestness of the teacher aswellas upon
the painstaking attention Of the little
pupils. We will be glad to examine any
exercises she may send us. Such child
like simplicity and perfect naturalness as
these exercises manifest can not fail to
touch a responsive chord in the heart of
any one interested in the cause of educa-i
tion. Our visit to Miss Hubbard's school
was very pleasant. # We, we're pleased
with tbs home.like appearance Of. the
surroundings, the refined atmosphere of
the, school;room, the prompt answers of
heclasses examined, and especially the
very perceptible earnestness of both
teacher and pupils. But here is the
note: IT send you some specimens Of
exercises written by some Of my little
Third Reader Glass; Each Friday, in.
stead Of writing in copy books, I require
them to spend the half hour in writing
on any subject I give them. They all
take great interest in these exercises. l
am sorry did not think of showing you
the drawing and copy books when you
were with US: twice week l give them
drawing lesson instead of writing, and
some of them show decided talent in this
direction. One Of my little girls, eight
years old, took the premium at our Fair
last Fall for pencil drawing. would
like to send you some of the answers
from our next written review, if you will
like to see4.them.-s We all hopeFto see
you again; and hope to show continued
improvement. You have won the hearts
of all mylittle ones they speak Of you
every day. I have three discontinued
since your visit, on account Of being
needed on the farm at this season, but
three new ones wereswaiting to take the
vacant places. We give yon standing
invitation to visit our school just as often
as your.other duties will permit, and will
be glad to have your advice and criti-
cism."

"Well," said, "you can havei 1t. Pay

"The first month he brought 50. and
the second month little boy, who said
he was this mans son, came with 50.
After that I saw the man once in while,
but in the course of time the boy paid
the rent regularly, sometimes 81 and
sometimes $3. One day asked the boy
what had become of. his father"
."He's dead, sir" was the reply.

With commendable zeal, Mr.. VIM.
Mitchell, of the Fork,.is trying to stir up
new school-house fever. Mr.. Mitchell

perhaps more than any one else the need
of a better building for the work he is
trying to do. Let the good citizens in

and build house of which they need
not beashamed. A little money, a little
plain talk and large proportion of

Now that many of our teachers have
closed their schools and gone to other
ayocations, let them not forget that they
are teachers still. Ia every community,
whether during the session or during
vacation, the teacher is regarded as a
parsonage of a little more than ordinary
importance;S be lis esteemed as one who
knows something and ought to know a
great deal. A teachers general deport-
ment while attending to his ayocation
goes very far towards Strengthening or
weakening, his influence over pupils and
patrons when school opens again. We
trust our teachers will mot forget that
they are silently teaching, and that they
will feel some concern as to the quality
of their work.

We do hope our readers, especially the
patrons of the public schools, will read
carefully the brief suggestive account
o., "The Coon Skin Library" The ar
ticleiis from the pen Of ~. 81. g." one
of the ablest contributors to the Spartan
burg Herald, and is worthy of more than
casual perusal. Many useful lessons
are forgotten and many precious moments
are wasted during the time that inter.
venes between the sessions Of the public
schools. We have spoken of this matter
before. 1t can not be touched too often.
During the school session, the school
master is the principal teacher, and the
parent, the assistant; during vacation
the parent is both principal and assistant.
My friends, how are you getting on with
the work? All over the County, the
term of active service for the parent is
fairly begun. Have you done any thing
to encourage your children not to forget
the lessons they learned and to use every
spare moment in honest effort to add
something to their stock of information
See to it, that their textbooks are not
laid away on the shelf to be covered with
dust and to be untouched until the next
opening of the school. We appeal to
your better judgment, we appeal to your
love for your children, we appeal to
your common sense in this matter.
Look, for your own sake and for the
sake of posterity, look after the idle mo-
ments of your children. Have them to
read something every day. Do they
work every day? Very we'll; can't you
have them something to read while rest
ing at dinner? Can you get them to
read ten minutes every day? Let us
calculate little. Ten minutes spent in
reading each day may look like a very
little business to you, but perhaps you
have not thought of it properly. Ter
minutes each day for 365 days will give
$3.50 minutes. Let the boy keep this up
ten years. Go on with the calculation
and see what considerable time may be
devoted 10 reading without interfering
with ones regular work. "Take care o.
the minutes, and the hours will take
of themselves" may be pro6tably repeat
ed to boy who complains that he has
no time for reading.
Have you no children? Very we'll
your neighbors have some, perhaps. NJ
doubt they would be glad to use some o
the old books that have lain for years ii
your bookcase. 80. h. O." truthfully
