COLUMBIA, S. C. July LIST, 1884.

COLUMBIA, S. C. July LIST, 1884.
The leading objects Of the County
Teachers Institute, authorized by sec
ton 1902 of the School Law, are:
Ito acIuaint teachers with the
best methods Of instruction, and to
qualify them to put these methods into
successful practice.
ITO bring teachers. school officers
and people together 30 as to awaken Il
common sympathy and porularizc cdu-
cation.
In addition to these there are many
incidental benefits derivabie from the
proper conduct Of these Institutes. or
the minor and subordinate objects may
be mentioned the following:
Ito gain inspiration in teaching.
2.-To gain professional information
3.-To learn to avoid "rUts."
40 compare ourselves profession
ally with our associate teachers.
So afford an opportunity for
young teachers to express their thoughts
in public.
Go cultivate professional pride.
which is an essential element of sue
cess in any calling in life.
Among the means for the attainment
of these objects may be mentioned lee
lures, questions and answers, diagrams
and notes, topical reviews of textbook
matter, model class exercises for prac-
teal illustrations, general discussions {:
in n word, work-praclical, enthusiastic
work.
The instruction should be specially
adopted to the circumstances md needs
of country teachers. The methods of
teaching in the better class Of graded
schools will be generally discarded by
country teachers as impracticahle in
nngradcd schools. What is needed is
to adopt improved mctEo ls to the coun-
try school-to show how they may be
used. 1t is not enough to tell country
teachers that the method presented must
be modified to suit their circumstances.
The making Of these notifications re-
quirc n degree of invention, experience
and skill, which teachers, as a class, do
not possess. 1t is at this point that they
specially need the assistance Of an cX-
pericncccd guide. Institute instruction
should be largely given from the stand
point OF the country teacher.
The evenings may be properly dcvo-
ted to such exercises as will interest
anu lhSlfucL inc community. OclentlllC
and literary lectures may have n place,
and the exercises may be varied with
music, readings, discussion Of cducati.
onal topics &c.
The success Of the Institutes will
largely depend upon the hearty coop
Grafton of the school officers Of the
county, the lively interest and sympa-
thy OF the community, and. above all.
upon the intelligence, carnestncss and
energetic efforts Of the County School

f. TO CoNvICTs.

The M eGkNm IS Keeping cool again.
This time its GOODNESS has taken Such
shape and form that it is beginning to
be dangerous. The Medi"m 'coolly"
assumes in it's article Of June 18th, on
cruelty to Convicts, that somebody is
trying to put the people in the neigh
borhood Of the convict camp in II wrong
light before the State. Now that is
cool assumption, or else the MediHm
coolly ignores the facts, and coolly puts
itself in the attitude Of champion Of the
people against whom nothing has been
said, and against whom nothing can be
said. Nobody has minated that the
enlightened, Intelligent and humane
people Of that section CONFERENCE.-The the,
conduct ofJacksSn. or had any knowl-
edge Of it. On the contrary it was the
good citizens of that ncighborhood who
set on foot the inquiries which resulted
III The exposure Of Jackson's cruelty.
iIf our people and papers had been as
t'cooi' as the Medium the conduct OF
this man would never have been known,
nor any efforts made to bring him to
punishment.
AS for ourselves the MESSENGER said
at the outset Of this matter that it had no
idea that the people of the neighbour
hood knew anything about the i'll treat
mont complained of. Another piece Of
the .Nedium'S GOODNESS" is to intimate
the fear that the convict force may be
withdrawn from the Road. Why,
n%eighbor, everybody has known cver
since the investigation by the Snpcrin-
tendent and Physician Of the Pcnitenti-
airy that there was no such intention.
The MESSENGER so stated the next week.
However: the Medium was always
fond of showing its valor by setting up
men Of straw to knock down. But
read what the Medium says:
CAS- usual we have kept cool on the
alleged cruelty to %convicts on the S. V.
II. r. Sometimes the men Of that sec
ton get q wrong twist in political mat
tiers, but we have always felt satisfied
that they would never be guilty of any
such inhumanity as was alleged or per-
nit it in others.
X X X X 4
$50 it appears there has cn'y been
one case of brutal treatment. 1t is not
fair to hold the community responsible
for this. The people along the line
have spent too much money in the en-
tcrprise for it to be delayed or defeated
by the Withdrawal Of the convict force,
because OF improved charges of cruelty.
We have no jealousy Of tho road and
heartily desire its completion. The
along the line shall always he kept pco-
pie right before the State as long as the
Medium has power to do So"
Now truly such GOODNESS is alarming.
Perhaps this Goodness" accounts for
the ice and snow in Virginia last week
Positively we are afraid if our friend
and neighbor continues to keen SC
''cool' he will turn to a block of ice.
Doubtless his salvation lies in the fact
that he has mistaken another quality 70,
GOODNESS. When we were boys and ha-
ted to do VI work it was not called
Excepting COOL" You don't call all the
loafers around town "cool niggcrs.'
Really we think the Medium has made
o wrong diagnosis Of the disease with
which it is afflicted.

A NatIO Iai-Dance.

It appears that we are to have a national dance. The discovery that we have none was made the other day ln Philadelphia. Certain Phil> adelphians proposed To have a klr- mess-something that is said to be 1 extremely wholesome and much SUI Perior as tcnie to any know varie- | ty of bitters. One of the features of l tue kirmess was to be series of | national dances, to be danced by young Philadelphians of assorted sexes and clad in various national costumes. When it was. proposed 10 add 10 these an American national dance it was discovered that no such thing exists. In these circumstans ces it was found necessary to give up the idea of an American dance to be performed by q yourg lady in starry petticoat and a young man Tn sirIped trousers A fe, ble sHg- gestion was made that az Indian dog dance should be palm-d of as genuine American article, and leading young lady who had visited the Sandwich Islands and learned the batla7sula offered to dance with an Ameaican flag in her hand, but neither suggestion was acceptt d. The kirmess will go on-if q kirmess
 
 ever does go on-without an Amerl> can dance, but an eminent dancing master has proposed to inventsone and present It to the American Na- tion without delay.
 It will be interesting to know what the dancing masters concep. tion of an American national dance is. Among the barbarous nations national dance is usually a war dance, but surely it cannot be sup posed that war dance would be an appropriate America dance except during Presidential campaign. Among civilized nations the nation al dance is usually 8 sort of panto- mime, expressive of the varIed ope. rations of tue tender passion. No American national dance could be constructed on sue h q theme. Imag- inc the average American citizen expressing with Talmagian gyra- tions and wild flinging of legs and arms hls deep devotion toward the property-real and personal-of the young lady whom he is supposed to adore! Such conduct is hardl y | thinkable, much less possible. And what American young lady could be l fitly typlfed by a female dancer posing before ledgers and cash | books in the earnest effort to find out If her lover's business is really l in prosperous condition.-Neao York Times.

MarIcopa's Members"

The Prescott Courier, Tn a rapid sketch of the mem bers of the lcgis- lature, has the following to say of those from Marlcopa:
 HOUSE.
 haricopa county will be repre- scented by the Hon. DeForset Porter, 8 staunch Republican and family man, about AT years of age, active and progressive. Has served as Judge of the 2d Judicial District of Arizona for ten years, was the Re publican nominee for Delegate to Congress two years ago against Granville Oury and was defeated by his party knifIng him: He has for the past year been Mayor of Phoe- nix. Mir. Porter was forced by the taxpayers of his county to accept the position to which they elected him, knowing his stability and ars dent sympathies for the section in which he resides. He will be the equal If not the peer of the most brilliant member of the house.
 The other gentleman who repre- sents Maricopa county is the Hon. J. s. Armstrong, a Democrat in politics and about 30 years of age. He is postmaster at Tempe and bus> mess manager of Hayden's mills.
 COUNCIL.
 Maricopa county sends to the council the Hon R. B. Todd. He-is a Democrat, and although a new conner to t he Territory, he is spoken of by all who know him as man of unusual ability and a worthy gem tleman. MT. Todd IS superinten> dent of the Vullure mine, where he has resided since his advent to the "sun kissed land. ;"
