TEACHING TEE YOUNG IDEA.
Moral suas.on a Powerful Factor, but The
Arc Times When 1t Fails

aaofii Suas.on n IoWef1ul actor, Dct The.
Arc Times When 1t Fails.
Suppose you are primary teacher.
Do you realize what you must put into
your work If you wish to succeed? Yor
must be teacher, mother and Nurse te
your little charges. You must work
with them during hours and for them
after school. You must be ready tc
catch an idea anywhere and adapt it tc
the needs Of a particular pupil who may
be dull, indifferent or disheartened, OF
even all three, poor little chapl
You must be untiring in your vigi.
lance over their morals and set them al.
ways a good example in manners by be-
ing courteous, even if they break youl
umbrella OK spill ink all over your best
gown. If you are boys teacher, you
must be ready at any moment to dress q
cut, pick out q splinter, arbitrate in s
fight or give decision on the merits OF
racers or the ownership of marbles, fish
hooks and malodorous bottles of bait. II
you can't meet these emergencies, the
average small boy will hold you in con.
tempt. If You want to win his love, you
must know something about the con.
struction CT kites, be interested in the
"oneriest lool;in" dog that ever invaded
a schoolroom and not be too finicBy
about when he washed his hands last II
a pupil should offer you candy.
If you can do al these things and
laugh about them afterward, you will
probably stand high in favor.
But there is a more serious considera-
ton. You must also haveAlis respect,
and this is not always so easily OF
pleasantly won.
Great stress has been laid upon tht
efficacy of moral suasion, but there are
times when human peryersity rises Il
such pitch that the most persuasive
tongue is poworless to enforce obedience
to your will. You may be obliged tc
pick up a shrieking, fighting scrap Of
humanity and put him back repeatedly
where you wish him to stay till, worn
out from the struggle, be suecumbs and
likes you all the better for having con.
quered him. There's nothing NEAR
about the small oy.-Mary j. O'Sul.

MODLTN's SECOND TRIAL.
a Jury Obtained from Lynchburg-
Insanity the Plea.

DANvILLE. VA, May l3-tSpeciai)-
The second trial OF Jacob r. Modlin for
the murder of his wife. Jessie j. Modlin,
on the night of February 9th last was
begun In the Corporation Court this af-
ternoon at o'clock. Counsel for the de-
fence asked for a continuance, but the
judge said the trial must proceed. The
venire from Lynchburg arrived last night.
and the jury obtained Is as follows: T.
w. Gilmer, c. II. Hamersley. John O..
Wigand, ]. S. Comey, ID. D. McCouville.
l.. T. Edmonds. John T. Tldings. Silas
Ogden. ]. L. NJ. Wright. j. W. Gould.
H. d. Johnson, and II. r.. N. Perkins.
They are fine-looking set OF men and
pay the closest attention TO the direct and
cross-examlnations. This trial does not
create as much interest az the first, and
the crowd attending is very small. Seven
witnesses had been examined when court
adjourned, and there was no deviation
from the evidence given on the first trial
The case may possibly so 10 the jury by
Wednesday night. Modlin shows the same
indifference that was manifested by him
at the first trial. He appears TO keep his
eyes set on one object and never moves
them. and apparently takes no interest
In anything going on. The plea 81 OF
insanity.
