Sons and Mothers.

A writer in one of cur recent plaga.
zines brings some very heavy charges
against MS sex of inappreciation and
irrevererce for women, the reason of
which one need not so very far TO find.
The first woman boy knows much
about is his own mother. If she is un.
trained, ignorant, incapable, unable to
control and instruct him in elementary
matters, how is it possible that he should
feel toward her genuine respect and
reverence? How it is possible that he
should not take her es q fair sample Of all
her sex, and thus regarding her, his
remarks to other boys concerning girls
and women will reflect his views on the
subject with tolerablc accuracy.
But suppose lad makes his first ac.
quantance with his letters, with science,
mathematics, philosophy, through his
mother; suppose hers is the hand that
leads him into fields o( research, of appli-
cation, Of industry; suppose that in all
his studies at school and at college, ho
can come to her with his problems and
difficult questions, and find in her q guide,
companion, and friend, hos il be cver to
speak of woman with irreyercnce aud
disrespect, even though he finds the
majority of women far inferior to his
mother ?
Only as the mother becomes the former
of her sons mind and character, Of his
immortal powers, no less than Of his
physical powers, can sue acquire a
permanent and controlling influence over
hin. 1t is not enough to feed him
properly, to clothe him suitably, TO pro
vide nccessaries for his body; she must
become his intellectual aud spiritual
guide and companion, or her influence
over him will be comparatively slight.
Whether men aud boys shall respect
and reverence women or no. depend very
much on women. Mrs. Somervil!e found
no lack OF respect in the highest circles
Of scientists in Europe. Miss Maria
Mitchell is spoken slightingly Of in no
astronomical or other high circle. Gar
field honored his mother because he
couldn't help it; so did Horace Greeley {;
so did George Washington. The list Of
noble and learned men who have found
able and delightful compauionship with
their wives and daughters is long one
Cicero and Tuliia, Sir Thomas Moore and
Margaret-all the world have heard of
the friendship between these fa.hcrs and
daughters.
What Napoleon said of the French
people is true Of every nation-a nation
70 be great must have great mothers. 1t
is not an unworthy motive in our young
women at school that they should study
with the direct purpose oftraining them
selves to be intelligent aid able mothers,
qualified to take charge OF the education,
intellectual no less than moral aud phys
ical, of the children it msy rleasc God
by ard by to give to them.

The Mormons.

The Mormon elders or Latter Day
Saints are carrying on their work of
proselyting boldly. They seem to prefer
the pcighborhood around the factories.
Cannot the ministers of the Gospel do
something in the way of controyerting
their rapidly expanding influences. The
out going trains on the Georgia railroad
Sunday morning are generally crowded
with believers of the new faith, who so
up to Groyetown and then off into the
country in short direction, TO where the
elders preach and baptize, They have, it
is reported, made great headway in
spreading their doctrines, and i'll many
cases entire families have embraced their
teaching. Two of the saints are women.
augusta Chronicle, 10M.
It is little too late to cry cut for tie
ministers of the Gospel to help after the
Devil has grabbed you. Though min
lister of the gospel should rise from the
dead ard exhort the waywsrd and
impeniten' to repent, they would not hear
hiu, Richmond county and Augusta are
not unlike other places. They have fine
churches ia the cities and ric,, neighbor-,
hoods. Preachers in fire railaer., loving
their ease, preach to cs'a!..ishe' ro'gr"-

the church, think tl.ey TO tLeir full duty
when they attend church once Sunday
and pay their share of the church expen-
ses. The business men who care little
for churches lounge around hotels,
bar rooms and privstc poker rooms on
Sunday, rather than 90 to church. They
make light Of all religious worship.
There is little effort made to carry the
gospel to Tie dark corners Of the country.
Ifit is done at al!, it isin such bungl;rg
and perfuncto,y way that the "u!cas's Of
society become disgustcd. Your kid
gloved preachers, with s;ylisI, wardrobe,
cannot reach the bSckwood.. Conse
qucutly the backw)c,is, whether in city
suburbs or in the darl; corners Of tie
country, will gladly receive Tie Mormon
elders when they come along These
elders are plain people and generally
pretty well informed. They put them
selves on an equality with the people, and
they get an Influence over them. The
Chronicle is about thirty years too late in
crying out for help from the pulpit. The
work should have begun when the present
converts were children. If our people
are to be ved from Mormonism ana all
sorts Of isma. the church must get down
off Of its stills, lay aside its eminent
respectability and go to work 20 save the

Best Food for Babies.

CINCINNATI, May 9.--At the session Of
the American Medical Association yester.
day papers were read by Drs. Earle, Of
Chicago, and Atkinson of Philadelphia, on
diseases of children, and President Wax
ham discussed the subject.
The conclusions were as follows:
/. There is no good substitute for tie
mothers milk, and there is great danger
from early weaving.
.. In case of absolute inability of the
mother wet nurse be procured.
8. a mixed is preferable to an artificial
diet.
i. For very young infants in lieu OF
mothers or nurses milk, cream with
barley, rice or oatmeal water TO which
milk, sugar, common salt, phosphate of
lime or soda, or linc water ir small
quantities is added, seems to agtce best.
5. For older children cows milk may
be used, provided the milk is good and
free from bacteria. 1t should be boiled
o long time. and, if diluted only pure
water SHOULD be used fsugar is added.
it should be pure milk sugar, and if
wheat flour is used, it should be well
cooked.

1t is with the greatest pleasure that
we COPY the following from the Co'nni-
bia Register: "Greenville and Anderson
Counties have arranged for joint
County Teachers Institute, to be held at
Greenville during the latter part Of June.
This is an admirable step. The institute
held last year was decided success. We
hope that other Counties will follow
suit. Among all the improving infuen-
ces that have been brought to bear upon
the teachers of the State since 1876, none
have been more marked in their results
than these institutes. State Institutes
give great impetus to school work, aud
the light shed there is irradiatiDg the
Counties and smaller localities. Any
two. or three Counties can get together,
and, by uniting funds, secure the best
teaching material. What say the
other County Commissioners ?" The
above was written by Prof. r. Means
Davis, of the South Carolina College, a
gentleman in every way qualified to
express an intelligent opinion of such
matters. That the County Institutes
have done good, and great good, no
thoughtful observer will for a moment
deny. 1t is gratifying 70 know that cne's
course has the approval of any one; it is
double gratifying to know that his course
has the unqualified Endorsement OF such
a man as R. Means Davis. Some oe our
readers and many others who have given
the matter little or no consideration, con-
demn all Institutes, aud US in particular.
and this, too, in spite of the fact that the
best educators of the land consider lnsti.
tutes the very best possible means for
developing the educational interests of
the masses. What we need most and
what we have contended for is trained
teachers. We can ge. theta by holding
to the Teachers Institutes. Who
opposes Institutes is blind to ths best
interests of the children of the land and
dead to the welfare of our common

Many of our schools are now prepar.
ing for the closing exercises Pieces are
being selected for boys and girls to recite.
Some of the young men and young ladies'
are required to write and read essays.
We have seen mistakes made many
times along this line and would warn our
teachers against them. The exhibitions
are good things, they are a necessity;
they have an elevating, educating infin'
euce. By all means have an exhibition,
but don't kill it by having the recitations
too long and the essays to cover ten
pages of lette. or legal cap paper. That
is unnecessary. Try to select short
pieces for recitation, and impress upon
the minds of those appointed to write
compositions the importance of con-
densing, the beauty of writing, to the
point. Teach them to express their
thoughts clearly and distinctly, but con-
cisely.
