TRESToS, S: c., Feb. Is, 1888.

TRENTON, s: O., Feb. 10, 1898.
A great deal has been ssid concerning
the thoroughness of teachers in the
branches they pretend to teach, and their
keeping abreast with the times. lp ad.
dition TO this, there is one thing of very
greatimportance, viz: The higher edu-
cation of teachers.
Let the teachers be acquainted not
only with the branches they directly
teach, but with the higher branches. A
teacher should have such an education
that he may lay aside the text book,
which.is often dry and uninteresting,
and talk to his class, telling them things
pertinent to, but not found in the text.
A teacher of a history class, can better
impress on the minds of the pupils, the
Importance of She voyage of Columbus,
and the great soul of this genius, il he
himself has read Prescott's Ferdinand
and Isabella. He isa better teacher of
geography if he understands astronomy;
arithmetic, if he understands algebra;
Of algebra, if ne understands calculus.
A knowledge of analytic mechanics pre-:
pares one the better to teach the lowest
class in arithmetic. The business of the
teacher isto lead the pupil from the low.
est up towards the highest branches, He
can do this the most satisfactorily only
when he himself knows what is to follow
in the course OF polished education.
His knowing the educational line from
one end to the other, enables him. to in.
struct the pupil with reference to what
will follow
If this be the case, the teacher should
be student. The teachers life is pecu.
liarly suited for this. We know that he
has great deal of work to do outside
the school room, but after this is done,
there is time remaining in which he may
study to, complete some branch. is en-
uphill business. to study without teach
er, but one can learn something. For
Two or three months ofthe summer many
teachers are at leisure. During this time
many Institutions give special courses.
These are blessings to teachers. They
can go to one of these and pursue a
course, spending the time pleasantly and
prvftably. But some will say our salary
is too small to allow US to do 80. Make
a sacciice. One reason that teachers do
not get better salaries, is, that they do
not deserve them. A man of q broad
education and refinement, demands a
letter salery than one who has q narrow
education, yet who teaches the same
classes. It's just. Let US have better
teachers; better teachers means teachers
of higher education. Work on your
specially now, and go to aome summer
school this year. To one who has shall
low purse, and little time bnt that he
may work in, it IS a boon not to be too
highly estimated. Try it and be con-
vinced. W. E. BREAzEALE.

Mr. Watson's Substantial Homemade
C0fliu.

MowEAoUA, ILL, January 2S.-Near
Sullivan, Moultrie County, east Of here,
lives "Uncle Bill" Watson. lie is a
very eccentric man and is known to fame
as the man who has made his own coffin.
While travelling through that part ofthe
country recently, an insurance agent
called on the old man to get him to
insure his property. Mr. Watson never
did insure, and thought be was too old 10
begin now. The insurance agent then
asked if he was the man who had made
his own coffin, and was answered in the
affirmative and invited into the house 10
inspect it. The coffin was found in the
old mans bedroom loaded down with
bcdclothes. Calling his wife, the farmer
asked her 10 take the things away, so
that he might exhibit his handiwors'
which he did with much pride.
The coffin is plain ore, of black wal
nut. Mr.. Watson cut and saved the
lumber himself, and after seasoning it
for about eight years, concluded to make
it into a coffin for himself. He did so
over five years ago, and soaked it in oil
and then treated it to good coat of var
nish. Atthe head he put a cross piece
which rases that end some five inches
higher than the other. lie says that
"when he lies down lie wants his head
raised" The reason given for its manu-
facture is the shoddy character of the
shop made article Mr. Watson is over
IS years Of age, and a Mexican veteran.
His pension claim was allowed some
months ago. He was also a soldier in
the late war he has lived On his
present farm for forty-fve years. His
wife is quite young woman and seems
to care rs little for the presence OF the
coffin as does her husband Chicago

all the teachers in our jurisdiction we're

our Teachers Institutes. Those children
could not have gone through that cslcu-

well taught. They did the work we asked
of them with credit to themselves and

would subscribe to the Library Fund, We
would have more schools like Miss
McCiain's. Our friend from the Fork is
eminently correct when he says: "Our
