Mr.. Holmes Lecture,

Notwithstanding the short notice
given there was a goodly number
Of ladies and gentlemen in the Op
era House on the 27th ult. to listen
to the able and lucid address deliv-
cred by the Grand Dictator of the
Grand Lodge of the State Of South
Carolina, Maj. John E. Holmes.
The address was full Of informa
ton as regards the management of
that grand and noble Order of
Knights of Honor. To repeat all
the speaker SO gracefully set forth
would be too much Of a task for the
writer to undertake.; but I'll only
mention a few facts for the infor-
nation OF all those who were not
present, and who may desire to
avail themselves Of the benefit of
that Order.
The Knights of Honor Order has
been in existence twenty-five years
and during that period it has paid
$4,000 900 on the death certificate
of each member to his widow and
Orphans. They have paid $1,000,
900 to the sick and needy of the
Order-and all this at a small cost
of not quite $40, 900 to the officers
doing the work.
The speaker has his heart in the
work, and is bound to do a good
deal of good for that benevolent
Order. l.. G. B.

TEACHERS COLUMN.
]. A. MADDEN, EDITOR.
The next Teachers Association
will be held on Saturday, March
2Ist, instead of the 2Sth.
The Teachers Interest.

The teachers interest in his pu-
pills should be made more manifest
by bis being more social with his
pupils outsid the school room. The
teacher should visi. his pupils at
their homes, and see the home
environments in order to know
what allowances to make in the
school room. Some children's
home Influences have a great deal
to do with their management at
school. And, besides. the teacher
should become acquainted with all
the patrons of his school, and that
the familiar home acquaintance.
lie should so arrange his visits
by previous appointment, that he
can meet the entire family circle,
and in that circle counsel for the
best interest of the pupils under his
charge. And in that counsel he
should discuss freely and honestly
what is best for the pupil. He
should speak freely of every com
mendable quality Of the children,
and it is true that every child has
some traits which can be honestly
praised, and the teacher should
never fail to make mention of the
good traits of the children. Every
parent likes to hear his children
spoken favorably about, especially
by the teacher.
Furthermore, the teacher should
very cautiously bring up the sub
ject of the faults of the children at
school, and in such a manner as to
elicit the hearty co operation of the
parente. When the teacher has
the sympathy and support of the
parents the most unruly children
at school can bs easily, by moral
~sussion, ruled.
1t ie to be hoped that the teach
ers will adopt the plan of becoming
more familiar with the people for
whom they are laboring and make
visits to all their patrons at their
homes to seek their corporation in
the great work Of educating the
young.
Moreover it is hoped that parents
will look moro closely about the
interest the teachers manifest con-
corning the welfare Of their chill
dren; for a teacher who does not
appear to exhibit any concern for
the welfare of his pupils, except
within the walls of the school room,
where he is paid for his six hours
labor, is unfit for the place of @
teacher.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way TO
cure Deafness, aud that Is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an iplamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustach-

famed you have a rumbllng sound
or imperfect bearing, and when it
Is entirely closed Deafness Is the
result, and unless the Inflammation

Taken in Time

Hoods Sarsaparilla has achieved
great success in warding off sick
ness which, if allowed to progress,
would have undermined the whole
system and given disease a strong
foothold to cause much suffering
and even threaten death. Hoods
Sarsaparilla has done all this and
even more. II has been taken in
thousands of cases which were
thought to be incurable, and after
a fair trial has effected wonderful
cures, bringing health, strength and
JOY to the afflicted. Another i'm
portant point about Hoad's Sarsa-
parilla is that its cures are perma-
nent, because they start from the
solid foundation of purified, vital
lied and enriched blood. But it Ia
not what we say but what Hoods
Sarsaparilla does that tells the
story.

Counsel to the Teacher.---No. I

The Arena has begun the pub
LEGATION Of personal recollection Of
Longfellow, Lowell, Holmes, and
others, and better than any counsel
to teachers would be the reading of
these re~collections by the teacher
himself. In any age like the pres
ent, when SO many new, tried and
untricd methods Of teaching exist,
it is folly to venture counsel; but
there is n thing the average
teacher overlooks: He takes school
journals, and keeps up with the
most approved methods, but he
does not enter the life, into the
"sanctum sanctorum" of the great
est teachers and commune with
them.
Touching the life of a Longfel-
low, a Lowell or Holmes would
give a finer insight, a deeper in
stinct, a more lasting inspiration
than a thousand new tangled meth
DDS. | have no conviction more
fixed and abiding than this: that
the good works Of such eminent
thinkers and teachers too often die
with them. If any one needs in
spiration it is a teacher, and if any
one can give it it is those who have
stood highest in that profession.-
And that leads us back to the very
greatest Teacher: "Unless the Lord
build the house, they labor in vain
to build it," Those who undertake
to mould and discipline the youth
full mind will find no preparation
for that Office more complete than a
communication with that wisdom
which cometh from above. The
teacher, therefore, of all men is
called upon to look upwards to a
source that is higher than himself,
to the greatest not only of earthly
teachers,-a Longfellow, a Lowell
an Arnold-but to the greatest OF
heavenly teachers. The instructor
must be strangely blind to the re
sources Of his profession who fails
to resort habitually to that great
unbounded source OF light and
knowledge.
In proportion to the implicitness
with which teachers rely upon di-
vine aid should be the diligence
with which they use all the human
means within their reach. They
should acquaint themselves dill
gently with the most approved
methods of teaching however fine.
spun theories will not accomplish
the best results. Nc faith need be
put in any theory of education
which does not include as one of its
leading elements hard work. There
is indeed no royal road to learning,
Any knowledge which cost nothing
is usually worth nothing. Knowl.
edge to be of any value must be
assimilated a bodily food is. The
mind Of the teacher and the mind
of the scholar must both act, and
act together in intellectual cooper.
alton and sympathy, if there is to
be any true mental growth. Teach
ing is not merely hearing lessons
1t is not merely talking. 1t is some
thing more than mere telling. 1t is
causing to know. 1t is awakening
attention, and then satisfying it.
1t is an out and line process.
