INTELLECTUAL Boes.

There is word often applied to per-
sons living in England, but never in this
country. 1t is "bog." It means one
who has unlimited capacity for receiving,
but never Of giving. He only aksorbs,
absorbs, absorbs. It is good word, and
il would do we'll to transplant it. Bogsi I
Yes, tits q capital word, and applies to
many persons. They are often found in
Institutes, amiable looking, even hand
some in appearance, we'll dressed, they
sit and look. There is no inattention or
trivial conduct, but they only absorb.
When ayquestion is asked they. can only
shake and keep still. a marshy bog
looks green and fruitful, but it produces
nothing that either man or beast can use.
It is the same with institute bogs. ALL
the lines Of interest converge on them,
selves. All4 the streams of thought run
into the: bog, of which they are the CEN
trsl receptacle. They are continually
receiving, but never giving. Don't be q

do hot shake, but simply absorb. Thisis
wronlg@wholly wrong. Is there no de-
vice that will enable US to draw cut the
teachers of Anderson County? Is there
no mutualsympatby? no. curiosity that
would prompt them to ascertain how
their fellow laborers are getting along
with the difficulties and trials incident to
the teachers profession? Why not make
the sTeachers' Column a arunning Normal
Institute, make it take the place of the
question sboxps We can do it if We
will. II must be false modesty that
would make our teachers blush to see
their names in print. Well, if that is
your difficulty, you can remove it entire.
II. Your names need not be published.
Do our teachers never need helps are
