EDUCATION OF THE FUTURE.

The education of the past devoted its
attention exclusively TO the mind. The
education of the future is TO include with
mental training all the relations of the
body. The old system forgot that facul.
ties of mind are but functions of the
body. The new must keep thi. constant
ly in remembrance. The system Of the
future is not wholly Of the future. 1t is
already far advanced to its establishment.
The time has gone past when we could
say, as Herbert Spencer did twenty years
ago, that men take an intercst in the
rearing Of the offspring of all creatures
except themselves, and that the feeding
and training of animals are thought
worthy of the consideration of Il gentle
man who would think it beneath him 10
bestow thought on the feeding and
training of human beings. The depend.
ence OF mind on body generally, and the
Importance Of preserving health in the
young in order that they may benefit by
tuition, are now widely understood.
1t is ad'nitted that teachers and pa.
rents ought TO know something of the
nature OF the human economy and the
laws of health, and that schools should
be conducted on hygienic principles.
Vast Improvements have indeed been
effected in regard to the diet, clothing
and cleanliness Of children, whether in
the nursery or the 0ol.roum, and the
provisions made for healthful exercise in
play grounds, gymnasia and swimming
baths betokeu al awakening to the truth
that "to be good animal" is the first
condition Of success in life.
But Notwithstanding this marked ad-
vance in educational policy, it must still
be alleged. says DR.. Creighton Brown, in
his Book Of HeaHh, that the relations Of
body and mind are very iuadequately
understood by educators. Their conver.
sion to muscular Christianity has been
effected more by the observation of
crickcters aud oursmen than by conyic.
tion of the intimacy of the union Of
mind with brain. ..z
While believing that sound health is
necessary to sound thinking, they have
not yet grasped the principle that the
brain is the basis Of the teachers opera
tions, that there is constant paralleism
between the development Of the mental
faculties and its growth, and that lungs,
heart, liver, and kidneys-and, indeed,
every organ and tissue in the body-are
in constant communication with it, re.
fleet in it their good or evil fortune, and
are in turn affected by its veal and woe.

IMPROVED METHODS.

Teachers must improve their methods
of teaching. The people are demanding
better results. They are beginning 10
look with more favor upon "'new. fang led
ways" The progressive tcachcrs are
securing the best positions. Old fogies
may oppose the new education, and try
to make teachers slide along in the old
ruts, but their power is waning. The
teacher who is content to keep pupils
quiet and ask questions from tho text:
booE, must wake up or leave the profess
ion. The teacher should be the living
soul Of the school, to understand the
needs OF the child. m iud, to stimulate and
direct the energies ol the child, aud to
draw out its faculties in such manner
that it may be educated, developed, in
accordance with natures plans. is the
child strengthened by to.day's lesson
Have followed educational principles ?
Am supplying the child's needs ?
These questions should be ever in the
teachers mind. If these questions can
be intelligently answered in the affirma-
tive, tho teacher is SUCCESS; if not, he
needs to continue the study of education.

Good Farming.

ar" writing in the Pickens Sentinel OF
his trip to the late Presbytery at john
stop, has the following to say of Capt.
William Neal of Anderson County at
whose house he spent the night:
"Before leaving this point we can not
refrain from giving expression TO i'm.
pressions made upon Us by Capt. n. as a
farmer. Not by what he said, so much
as by what we saw. The very place has
the appearance and air of industry and
thrift. Capt. N. is certainly a wide
awake, progressive farmer. He is en-
richiug his lands with home. made fertil.
zers, which we regard as q most COM
mendable practice. There were huge
plies of compost in his lot, which were
being pulled down and distributed ii
the fields. We were told that the great
quantity we saw, undistribnted, was q
small part Of the amount composted, and
carried away from the same place this
season. BY this process the arabic lands
Of Capt. n. are increasing in value every
year, aud the net proceeds Of the farm
are also on the increase. Is it not pass
ing strange that the great majority OF
farmers will subject themselves to Il
ruinous tax in the purchase of CONNER
cial fertilizers, that exhaust themselves
and render the soil less productive IN the
making Of our 'crops-when, II they
would take more forethought aud avail
themselves of materials at home, they
would make both themselves aud their
land richer. Capt. N. believes in vari.
ETY. of production. On small piece of
bottom land last year, which WAS planted
in rice, he made net profit Of between
fifteen hundred and two thousand dollars.
He believes in the thorough preparation
of the soil for all the varieties Of crops,
whether for cotton, corn, wheat, rye, rice,
&C., and the consequence is that he is
rapid, by the richest yields possible. lie
is also greatly improving his stock. In
word, he is pushing forward all the farm
interests, and keeps up with the most
improved machinery and implements of
husbandry. 1t is great pleasure to
visit such farm, and to hear such q
farmer talk. Ho magnilies his works,
and by SO doing he proves himself 10 be
an important factor in tho progress of
agricultural interests. We regret that
our stay with him was 80 short"

j. G. CLINKSCALES, EDITOR.

We are grateful to our friend, Prof. J.
Avery Finger, of Charleston, for an in.
vitation to visit tho Crafts School, of
which he is principal. He promises to
show us around among all the free
schools of Charleston. That would be
delightful and We think we could make
visit to the graded schools Of Columbia
and the public schools OF Charleston
profitable not only to ourself but to the
public schools of Anderson County. A
School Commissioner eau not see too
much Of such things-he cannot be too
well posted about every thing pertaining
to his line Of business-but hero comes
the rub, and here the difficulty: School
Commissioners have 10 "shave ckose to
make ends meet" Were we getting
salary that would warrant such trip,
friend Fingers invitation .gould certain
ly be accepted, and we would spend a
week studying the excelencics of the
public schools of the city by the sea.
Just hold your breath now and listen,
and we'll soon see whether the State
Board Of Examiners will give the Nor.
NAL School to Anderson this year. Judge
Murray is our member of that Board
and promises to put in some. solid licks
for us. 1t seems TO us the Board ought
to decide that question in three minutes.
There would be geveral disadvantages
connected with having the Normal in
Charleston. What upcountry teacher
wants to spend the month of August in
Charleston? Aftor session of laborious
and exhaustive school.room work the
teacher fluids it more pleasant generally
to 60 toward the mountains than toward
health and comfort, board eau be had at
much cheaper rates in Anderson than in
Charleston. But let it be held wherever
tho most good can be accomplished.
Would Charleston be effected to very
considerable extent by the School
Would many people in Charleston know
that such thing was actually in exist
ence in their midst? Why would they /!
It's nothing now for them. They have
operas, lectures and entertainments OF 80
many kinds there that the exercises of
the Normal School would attract very
little If any attention. Our opinion is
that much more can be accomplished by
holding the School in smaller town
one just about the size of Anderson.

The Record Lowered to six Days, One
Hour and Nine Minutes.
From ne YesO Yort Herald. :

From the Neso York Herald.
The steamer -Etruria, of the Cunard
steamship line, can float from her foretop
the pennant OF the ocean fleet. On her
log stands the record of tae fastest voyage
ever made across the Atlantic. She has
stripped the Oregon of her laurels and
has proved her ability to outstrip the
heetest of the ocean graybOunds. On
Sunday last the Etruria left Queenstown
at 2:26 p. N. Saturday afternoon cheers
as she passed Sandy Hook,
having made the run In 6 days, 1
hour and 8 minutes, mean time, or six
days, hours and 81 minutes, actual time.
The Oregon'stime--six DAYS, 10 hours and
10 minutes--had hitherto t0ppe the rec
ord, but it t.en gave way to The Etruria's.
The passengers had eaten their Sunday
luncheon at Queenstown. They found
themselves swiftly steaming up the bay in
time 10 eat their Saturday dinner in New
York. AS the waters curled into fleecy
foam about the prov Of the gallant steam
er congratulations were showeFed upon
her proud commander, Capt. Cook, and
her equally proud and happy officers.
The Etruria lett Liverpool At noon on
Saturday, Aug. 10, and reached Queens
town on the fDllowing day. 1t was not
unlli rastnet ROCK was passed that she
began to forge ahead with the wonderful
speed that brou ght her across the ocean
in such wonderfully brief time. On the
first day out from Queenstown the log
showed that 494 lnliles had been left be-
hind. On the second day still greater
speed was made, and the record for
the day was c464 mules. On the- third
day 450 miles was entered on the log.
On the fourth day the highest record of
the run was made-465 miles. The fifth
and sixth days followed each other with
AGA miles scored for each day. A dis
lance OF but seventy miles lay between
the Etruria and Sandy Hook, and the gal
liant steamer, as though conscious OF the
triumph she had achieved, forged proudly
and swiftly through the waves until the
ringing shout that rose from her decks
before an ] aft the mainmast told that she
was abreast of Sandy Hnnk
