A SUCCESSFUL TEACHER.

'First of all, settle in your mind
what teaching is, what education is.
Have distinct and clear idea what
you are aiming ah Is it hearing
lessons ? That will result in good
to the pupil, but you should aim
higher. There is mental force in
pupil, put in him by his Creator.
Without teacher that force is like
~ to be wasted; you propose to con-
vert that force into organized action,
so that it may be useful to him and
to the world. You are then to be a
director of forces that exist in the
child, put there tor the purpose of
education.
Next you are to settle in your
mind on what you are to direct those
forces to act. Your tendency will
be to select book and say, Learn
those pages Do not do this until
it is clear in your mind that such is
the best thing you can do, that is
best tor the child; do not be misled
by the routine of the school room
and fancy that if you follow that
you must be right.
What does the mind naturally do!
1t seeks knowledge. You are then
to aid the child in seeking knowl>
edge, you are to direct him in his
search for knowledge. Here then
will come up the question What
knowledge is Appropriate for q
Child? You must get clear idea
of this in your mind. This means
more than that child six years ole
should nave a First Reader and one
seven years a Second Reader, anC
so on. 1t means Immensely more
than that-why, that is mere me
chanics am going to tell YOU
some of these things.

competent to express himself 70,
see one who does not possess knowl
edge. You must therefore strive t.

the knowledge they are to seek.

] shall suppose that you know what
they ought to spend their energies
on. If you have selected the right
thing for them to study, and if you
| put these before them rightly, there
will be great activity and interest.
The next question you will ask of
yourself every day is, Were my pu~
pills earnestly, gladly, industriously
seeking for knowledge?
You should bear in mind that the
error nine teachers out OF a hundred
make is to confound reciting a state
ment out of a book with knowing
the fact itself. There is the greatest
difference in the world between
them. The reason object teaching
is urged is that the pupil may get
facts at first hand. If you ever be-
come a truly successful teacher you
will find that you plan to have your
pupils fpd out for themselves. And
if you teach Alright you will find
them full of industry. If they are
lazy and Indifferent, the fault is
yours and not theirs.
In your examination over the day
you will be sure to think of the
state OF mind your pupils possessed,
or appeared to possess. They ought
to be happy, cheerful, obedient,
courteous, helpful, loving to each
other, respectful to you, animated
with noble ideas, earnest to make
progress, admiring the beautiful and
great, despising deceit and mean
ness, aspiring to be manly and wo-
manly, to have clean bodies and
garments, to sit and walk handsome
ly. to act conscious of the over
looking eye of the Father OF their
spirits,
Now you may not think it to be
SO, but really these things are more
important than the reading, the
arithmetic, and the geography.
have seen schools where the teach
ers aimed at the lessons and cared
nothing for the moral, religious, and
aesthetic side of the child's nature:
Possibly they thought these things
would take care OF themselves. That
is great mistake. II the forces
within US are properly directed we
shall grow up to be lovely and Of
good report. This is what is meant
by the expression, Through nature
up to natures God"
The school-room must cultivate
the whole nature Of the child, and
you should ask yourself every day,
Are the souls of these children
growing beautiful? Do they love
to do right? This will! not come
through lectures and scolding, never
from scolding. Possibly the hardest
thing of all that you will undertake
will be to cause growth in moral,
religious, and aesthetic directions.
Almost anyone can make a child
learn some lines in a book and recite
them; lew can say they know how
to cause child to love to speak the
truth and to do what is right.
At first you will feel satisfied 4
the pupils recite their lessons and
1 will not despise the results on the
child of learning lesson and recit
ing it: it has its benefits. After a
while you will aim at larger anC
better work, and will wonder thai
you ever thought of school-roou
success except as the harmonious
growth of the child. From Educa
! tional Foundations.

A Race for q Bride.

ATLANTA, GA, June 2s.-A romantic
story of race for bride comes we'll
authenticated from Paulding County.
Miss Annie Story, daughter of Col. I'll.
F. Story, one of the most prominent mon
in the county, had many admirers. She
became engaged to two, aud had not
decided which she would marry on the
day set for the wedding.
Andrew McBrayer and David Goyan
were the young men to whom she had
given consent to marry, it being under
stood by her parents that young Nc
Brayer, whom they most favored, would
be the groom, he being wealthy and of
an influential and prosperous family.
Miss Annie really loved young Govan,
who was poor, but handsome, and al
together very manly young man Of
respectable parentage.
Miss Story announced that she had
determined to wed the winner of race
for the license, which she proposed to the
young men, they agreeing TO carry out
her proposition and to abide the result Of
their race. They were to start at York
town and 60 distance of several miles to
Dallas after the license and return to the
home Of the young lady, and Immediately
abe would become the bride of the first
to place the license in the hands of the
minister, who, with the bride, awaited
their return. The rich young man had
the fleetest horse and was rapidly leaving
his rival behind in the race, but The poor
young man had his wits about him, and
BY using cutoff by-road won the race
and carried off the willing prize.

Lightning's Deadly Work.

ST. PAUL, MIMI, June 2l,-During a
severe thunder storm this afternoon at

Seven people were killed instantly,
and quite q number injured, none of the
latter fatally, Tho killed; @. 4. Deaa,
Eugene Reynolds, A. Carpenter, four

twelve-year-old son of Curtis Aldrico,
j. A. Giendan ming, town clerk Of Oak
Grove, and an unknown boy.
The greatest CONSERVATION followed.
The rain continued falling in great sheets,
and the bodies of the dead were soaked
through before they could be removed.
AS soon as possible Ringing Bros. and
their employees did everything in their
power to alleviate the condition of the
wounded, The dead were taken dow n
town and laid out on floors of engine
houses, where, with the exception OF an
unknown boy, they were identified in a
few minutes alter their arrival.
The scene es relatives identified their
dead was distressing. Oae elderly gen-

and their employees prevented stam-

been attended with still moro fatal re-
suits. The crowd was held In check and

or,hor,z,no an earlier meeting {,

gencies authorizing an earlier meeting al
Congress-" which he spoke of in ''e!:-
brated interview Of June 5, had arrived.
The action of the British Government in
India brought the matter to crisis.
Previous to that startling event Cleveland
had manifested q firm determination 20
adhere to his plan of calling Congress in
September, After the suspension. of
silver coinage in India the President
resolutely declined to speak further about
his intentions until he should be prepared
to act, and each of his Cabinet officers
maintained similar silence.
It may be stated, however, without
violation Of confidence, that from the
day when the announcement of the
action of the India Government was
made the President took steps to keep
himself forewarned through press dis
patches Of the slightest approach to q
panic in the money market and was pre-
barred at any moment to take the course
he has now adopted if it seemed to hiin
that by 80 doing it would in any way
tend to allay alarm and restore public
confidence. When to-day he found teit'-
grams on his table, not only from tlae
Eastern and Middle States. but also from
the South and even from some OF tie
silver States of the Northwest, urging
that Congress be called together at tie
earliest day possible to end the unces-
tainty, be determined to delay no longer.
But even in taking this action the Presi-
dent took steps as far as he could to pre-
vent its being known before the Stock
Exchange closed, 80 as to avoid any
appearances of exercising undue influ-
ence on the stock market.
The effect of the announcement upon
Senators and Representatives in the city
was very marked.
