EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES NOWADAYS.

.aE
The speech delivered by an Anderson
County young man at the recent Com
mencement exercises of the Anderson
Military School on "Some hints as to
how an education may bc obtained" was
suggestive. We trust the speaker may
be induced to- complete his education by
the hints suggested to his own mind, aud
that some who heard him may be stimu-
lated to oWortby action. The facilities
for Obtaining an education are now much
more numerous than ever before. Com
mon schools are more numerous, high
schools and academies in which the
classics are taught are brought 10 our
very doors almost, while the art OF teach
ing is no longer looked upon as work
wholly incidental. The young man who
is ambitious may by industry and econ
omy get an education in spite of all the
opposition that can be brought to bear
upon him; Thirty and forty years ago,
classical schools were not very numerous.
To attend one young man had to 60
perhaps one or two hundred miles from
home; now he can find one in his own
County, where the classics and higher
mathematics are taught thoroughly. If
his ambition would lead him to seek still
greater culture, the way is open. There
is a college within q days ride of every
home in the commonwealth, and the
expenses of college life have been SO re-
duced as to put q diploma absolutely with
in the reach Of every young man Of pluck

ANDERSON BOYS AT THE COLLEGES.

We are glad to see that the Anderson
boys off at College are sustaining the
reputation of the grand old County.
Mr.. W. E. Breazeale and Mr.. A. M.
Attaway graduated with distinction re.
Gently from Furman University and
Woford College respectively. At Fur
man, Mr.. T.. E. Horton won the gold
medal for the best thesis on political
economy, and Mr.. R. II. Burriss was
awarded two prizes, one for the best COM
position and.the other for the best read.
ing. And Mr.. TIP. Harrison stands at
the head Of his class in the Citadel in
Charleston. Hurrah for the Anderson
boys! Life itself is 8 manly struggle for
the prize of success, and our boys seem
to,be initiating themselves while at Col.
They seem to be mindful of, the fact that
Anderson County has reputation which
the present generation of students must
sustain. We make the assertion without
fear of successful contradiction that no
County in the Estate has, within the last
ten years; turned out more successful aud
prominent College graduates than An
derson. Not every man who graduates
is an educated man or a successful one.
ESome of the most signal failures in life
have been made by men who wrapped
their energies in their College "sheep
skins" aud slept their lives away in one
long unbroken dream. Anderson Coun-
ty may have her share of that kind but
she has some whose education didn't stop
when they left their alma meter. An.
derson would point her boys to the ex.
ample set by her DR.. Pickel, now Pro-
fessor of Chemistry in the University of
Florida; to W. W. Brown, now filling
Professors chair 10 the Furman Uni
versity, his alma mater to J. Avery
Finger, now at the head of the Crafts
School in Charleston to A. W. Lynch,
now Principal of a fourishing High
school in Walden, Mississippi; to W. R.
Richardson, who took one of the gold:
medals offered by the Vanderbilt Uni.
versity, and is now ranked among the
ablest preachers Of the State; to J. NJ.
and W. T. Lander, each of whom carried
off the first honors Of his class and is
now occupying Professors chair, and to
others engaged in honorable yocations
and welding an influence that is welded
only by educated, Christian manhood.
We congratulate the parents of the
young men who so recently distinguished
themselves, and wish the boys abundant
success in the future.

TIME FOR COUNTY NORMAL, !:

Before fixing the time for the County
Normal, the Board of Examiners would
like to have an expression of opinion
from the teachers and as many of the
Trustees as feel enough interest in the
matter to have an opinion. What time
would suit the teachers best2 How
wonld the first .tno weeks in September
do? That time has been suggested by q
teacher who thinks that the children
will then be most needed in the crops.
We will request the Board not to fix the
time until we, can hear from the teachers.
We do hope the teachers and trustees
will drop Us d card at once so thatthe
Board may be-guided by the opinion of
the majority.

BETTER TEACHERS.

All along the line there is general
awakening on the subject of education.
The cry is for better teachers. Educa-
tors are beginning to realize that the reg.
ular examinations Of teachers by the
County Boards, while they do some good,
do not accomplish all that is intended or
desired. They reveal, in. many cases, q
fearful ignorance of what is expected to
be taught, but take no active steps TO-.
ward the improvement of the condition
of the unfortunate applicant for Grade
Certificate. Realizing this, the leading
thinkers have suggested the State and
County Normals as the best remedy for
the evil. TheState N Normal has accom-
plished much good, but it doesn't seem
to reach that class of teachers for whose
special benefit it was intended, The
teachers in the. public schools in the
country are those who need it most. To
make q long matter short, they are, as a
class, too poor te attend the State Nor
NAL if held outside their own County.
County Normals have been introduced
that every teacher, however poor or how
ever backward he may be, may get the
benefit of such instruction. It is found
thata very large per cent. Of the teach.
ers attending the State Normal hereto.
fore, were principals of High Schools
and Academies in the towns and villages
of the State. Let our County Normal
and County Teachers Association; have
the sympathy and encouragement and
cooperation of all our citizens. Those
who are not teachers themselves are GER
tainly interested in the cause sufficiently
to encourage every effort, or enterprise,
that looks to the furtherance of that
cause. Let our teachers all make their
arrangements to.attend the County Nor
NAL. With a little extra effort, the poor
est can do it. Just when it will be held,
we are moi now able to say. The Board
of Examiners will meet next week when
that question will be settled. As for
ourselves, ne have thought it best to
postpone it until some time in August.

A Family Secret.

Farmer Derben kept large flock of
good geese. His fences were good, and
his geese rarely escaped from the pasture
where they were confined. His neigh.
bor, Farmer Cole, also kept flock of
geese I; but his fences were not carefully
repaired, and bis geese often strayed into
his neig ghbors's grain fields. Last sum.
mer this annoyance became intolerable
to Farmer Dcrben, and he resolved to
make an end Of it. Meeting Farmer
Cole one day in the road, he told him Of
the annoyance, and added:
81 now give you fair warning that if |
again find your geese trespassing on my
land I will kill them."
A few days after, as Farmer Derben
was sitting at dinner, lie chanced to look
out the window, and there on his very
lawn, he.beheld a flock of geese enjoying
themselves. Not waiting to get his hat,
he seized his cane, and rushing into the
midst OF the flock, he laid about him
with such vigor that several geese were
killed and several more wounded, when
his little daughter, bounding up to her
irate parents side, screamed in his ear
"Pa, these are our geese !"
This story is kept as family secret.
