Mr.. EDITOR: The subject of teach
ing has been, it seems to me, discussed
until there is not much left to be said,
but the subject is an inexhaustib!e one,
for every day there are new ideas coming
into the minds of teachers as we'll as to
the minds of the pupils.
The teacher himself should be close
student; if heis not he is not worthy of
the name of teacher. If a teacher is
what he should be, if he has the future
happiness of those committed to his care
and the prosperity of this great nation of
ours at heart, surely he will be aroused 10
put forth his greatest energies to the
work of training the minds Of the youths.
We need teachers in the school-room
that will look to the moral culture of
the pupils as we'll as to their mental cul.
ture. It is from the school-room that we
are to draw our future presidents, law
yers, preachers, doctors, legislators,
judges, and men for all other places of
distinction and honor; if this fact does
not stir the very soul Of the teacher, he
had better quit the business, for be is not
occupying his proper sphere in life. The
farmer, in order to make his farming a
success, has to study the nature of the
different soils he cultivatea, what grains
will yield the best income, and the best
mode of cultivation to make his farm
profitable just 80 with the teacher, he
should study the naure of his pupils,
what course of study they should pursue,
and having four it, help them in the
prosecution of their work in every way
possible. Do not belitttle them for being

present generation that the American
Government IS to be preserved or by

They Turpentined the Bull.

The spring term of the Superior Court
for Alexander County is going on this
week at Taylorsville, Judge Boykin
presiding, and Solicitor Frank 1. Os-
borne prosecuting for the State. The
only case yet called that has been Of
sufficient interest to make the sovereigns
crowd into the court room and hump
themselves on the top of the benches was
that of countryman who preferred
charges against six gay young men of
for having turpentined his
OK. The case was stubbornly fought by
counsel for each side. Joseph Krider,
the plaintiff in the case, an unsuspecting
and inofensive countryman, drove into
Taylorsville with wagon loaded with
country produce for sale. The wagon
was drawn by double team, horse and
OK. The boys seemed bent on fun, and
decoyed the owner ofthe team away from
his trust by novel ruse. They approached
him and told him that crowd was engag.
ed, just beyond certain store house, in
the sport Of kicking barrel. The object
was to see which could kick the barrel
the highest. "We are betting on you,"
said the boys, appealing to the WAGNER,
"and we want you to come along and
take the starch out of the fellows" The
mans vanity being thus appealed to,
he followed his friends, leaving bis team
standing in front of the postofice.
Scarcely had be vanished from sight

speed, carrying the unwilling horse and
wagon along with him. The runaway
team was stopped at hillside by parties
who had been attracted by the racket,
The wagon and the horse were safe, but
the poor bull did not fare so we'll. He
had switched his tail with such velocity
against the tongue, trace chains and
dashboard that it was frazzled and knock

eighteen inches of it remained. The

trick that had been played upon him,

hand he is calculated to do more evil.
If it is to be the evil course pursued by
the one who has received the education,
thousand times better were it for him
had he never been permitted to know his
alphabet, for then he would not have had
the mind cultivated to be curse to him.
self and to the world. For just as the
capacity of the mind is increased for
doing good, SO the capacity Of the mind
is increased for doing evil, and the boy
who has been educated may, if he has
not been developed morally, descend into
the lowest depth of crime, degradation
and misery, thereby blighting all the
hopes and expectations of those who are
near and dear to him and bringing shame
and disgrace upon himself. How i'm
portant then it is that parents, together
with the School Commissioner, should
unite their efforts in securing teachers
who would be sure not to neglect the
moral training of their children, teachers
that will teach the children that they are
building characters, and that those habits
formed in early life are going to cling to
them in after years.
In conclusion I would say, don't over
burden your pupils with work; give
them all they can do we'll, for if over,
burdened they form the habit of half
doing things, and if they have more
than the mind can do, they become dis.
couraged and ready to give up. Neither
rush them through their books, but let
them thoroughly understand one thing
before you pass them to another, for the
amount one is learning does not consist
in the number Of pages gone over, but in
what he understands.

In spite of the very inclement wealth
er,. the meeting of the Association was
far from being failure. Eleven teach
ers answered at roll-call, and entered
heartily into the work of the day. We
were surprised to find even eleven pres
ent. The roads were in a fearful condi-
ton, and the rain was falling continu-
ously. Mr.. G. o. Burri5s informs us
that about two thirds of the teachers in
the county had informed him of their
intention to attend. The good people in
the neighborhood of Hunters Spring
had prepared to entertain as many as
might be present, and right royalty would
they have done it. Those who did at.
tend will not forget the kindly treatment
they received. On account of the rain,
dinner was spread in the school.room
and every body present, members of the
Association and spectators, was invited
to partake. The small number of teach.
ers set about the discussion of that part
of the programme with hearty good
will, and gave abundant evidence of
effective training in that particular line
of business. The subjects announced
for discussion were handled earnestly,
and ne believe much & j was accom-.
plished.
