The Egis & Intelligencer
Bel Air, Nd, November ., 1883.


Being interested in all that pertains to the sue
cess and usefulness OF our puUlic schools, We
would call the attention of educators to the value
of early training In the use OF language ana
the need of more thorough instruction IN the
knowledge of words. We mean the English Ian
guaEe, and for the most part, good old Anglo
Saxon words.
We are constrained to believe that in far too
many schools the ability to name words rapidly
as they occur in the reading lesson, IN the geo
graphy the history is allowed TO suffice as the
full measure of instruction in the department of
LANGUAGE, and the pupils thus pass TO other helds
without the ability TO either correctly spell or
properly pronounce the words they have used,
and with no knowledge at all of their true signi-
ficatiOn or wealth OF meaning.
The derivation or history ola word as found
n the dictionary often opens up mot delight
ful field of sIudy and investigation. and through
this the learners ambition TO attain great power
and huency in the use OF words might be melted
We believe that the learned man is most clearly
distinguished from the ignorant by his greater
command of language ana wider knowledge OF
the power of words. What better field can
there be. then, for the development OF a greater
usefulness on the part OF our public schools than
through larger and more intelligent study Of
our own vocabulary
Fortunately we have a standard authority for
the meaning and use of English words, recog-
niZed and universally conceded court oil last re-
sort, an open webster" where are recorded for
the use OF all, the decisions of the best writers
aud speakers upon the correct usage OF every
item that goes TO make up the beautiful whole
of our mother tongue.
We believe that our public schools will attain
greater usefulness, and be more successful in
teaching language lust in the ratio that they
send their pupils TO the dictionary with more fire.
quency, teaching them to study it's record more
iutelliRently and ABIDE by It's decisions more
stcadfastly. 1t needs no argument to prove that
every schoolroom should be supplied with copy
Of Webstcr's Unabridged Dictionary, as the
foundation for improved language work. AS a
further means to this desirable end, we can make
no better recommendation than that every pupil
should acquire the habit OF constant reference
TO authority 10y having at his desk a copy Of an
abridged edition of Webster and that every
teacher should be competent TO give instruction
In It's proper use.
Without disparaging the oth9r abrdgements.
we regard Websters Acadt mic Dictionary as the
best OF all for the hourly use of pupils and when
1t Is remembered that its usefulness Will survive
the pupils school days and in the absence OF the
unabridged. become the family dictionary, 1t is
not too much to say that 1t should be found on
the desk of every pupil in our schools above the
most primary grades.

A Farmer Talks About Roads.

I have seen several letters In your valuable
paper in reference to our county roads, but have
not seen anything in regard TO the road from
Tfapps Church to McCann's Cross Roads, so !
thought would attempt to say few words.
have been travelling the above piece of road for
iitty-odd years, and must say that our worthy
Supervisor. Mr.. WIN. f. Mccain, has put 1t In
better condition than have ever seen II. am
sorry TO see, however, that some of our farmers,
soon after the road was repaired, came along and
cut the bushes and brars along their fences. and
flied up the side CUTTERS This will ruin the road.
The same thing was done last year. and we had
q heavy rain and the bushes choked up the side
cutters, and washed out portion Of the road
This is not the only road that have noticed in
the county that Just as soon as the road was re
paired-some thoughtiess farmer would have
his fence-rows cut and the bushes and briars
would drop in the side cutters. The consequence
was bad roads. / said thoughtless farmers, for
| cannot think that any man who pays taxes
would do such an act Intentionally. And do
hope that those who have neglected to have the
bushes and brisrs taken out Of the side drains Of
the roads will at once have them removed, for
their own benefit as well as others.

The Late DIR. samuel y. Robinson.

It was my good fortune to know intimately
and truly appreciate the late DIR. Robinson,
throughout the last four months OF his life. To
speak of the many good qualities OF our deceased
friend and associate on my part would be super
fluous and out OF place at this time. You, Nc.
Editor, who knew him so well, you who met him
socially and professionally every day, in your
hands leave his eulOgy. DR.. Rohinson's life
was consistent one. The attributes OF his
mind were pure and noble. Truly can we say OF
him that in all things he was faithful. His sym
pathetic nature and kindness of heart made him
the coniidant of youth. the refuge OF the sick
and sorrowful. Truly the world is better for his
having lived. His life was beautiful, his end
peace. Now that he has passed into the shadow
world, we say from our hearts, "BehOld an hon
est man. A conscientious physician has entered
into his rest. Peace to his ashes"
Lord. who's the happy man that may
To thy blest courts repair:
Not stranger like to visit them
But TO inhabt therer
It's he who walketh uprghtly,
Whom Righteousness directs,
Whose generous tongue disddlns to speak
The thing his heart rejects.
Who never did Islander forge
His neighbours fame to wound,
Nor hearken to a false report
by malice whispered round.
Who vico, in all It's pomp and power,
Can treat with Just neglect,
And piety, though clothed in rags,
Rcngously respect.
who, TO his plighted vow and trust
HAS ever firmly stood,
And though he promise to his loss
He makes his promise good
Whose soul in usury disdains
Has treasure To employ;
whom no rewards can ever bride
The Rutltlcss to destroy.
The man, who by this righteous course,
Has happiness insured,
When carth's foundation shakes shall stand
by providence secured.
