IT IS MAINTAINED BY THE STATE FOR THE BENEFIT
 OF TEACHERS.
An Interesting Co mmunication from Instructor Hopkins, of the
 County Normal.

One week of the Normal has come and gone. Theatteudancc has been good, and the interest among teach CTS has met the most sanguine ex- pectation. On account of a compli- cation Of circumstances, the in structor was unable to be here a number of days before the opening of the work, which is always desira- ble when teachers are unknown 10 him, so that Monday was consumed in organization.
 Since that time, each days session has been interesting and instruc- tive. IL has been indicated that several teachers ol the county have remained at homo, and, perhaps, will remain at home duing the en- tire term. Some have offered as an excuse for absence tine fact of their receiving only low wages and vari- ous other pleas: Now, gentlemen, as long as you are 50 engaged that you can not attend an institution Of instruction organized aud set apart specially for Nou, wages will remain so low that yoa will Ee compelled to cultivate your crnps. The only way to make gcod farmer is to quit teaching; and lhe only way to make a good teacher k 10 quit farming.
 The Stafp of Arkansas has under taken the work of bettering her schools, especially her rural schools, through system of Normal work; and no teacher can afford to lose an opportunity of strengthening him self in his weak places, on the one hand, aud of lending assistance to his followers, on the other hand
 Some teachers say that the Nor maj work is always above their heads, while others saysthatit 1t is the same old song every year. To the first class, we wish 10 say that your heads ought io be higher, ald you win never get them up by looking downward. Whes the eagle scars among tue clouds he has his eye fixed on he sun To the second class. we wisn to say that the story of Christs death on Calyery has beel sung by psalmis's and thun- dered by divines for nineteen hum dred years; and yet We see many and beautiful features i'll tthe old, old story every time il is c6ntem- plated.
 So with the great question of de veloping the human mind. Let no teacher conclade that T method is not good because it is different from his custom. Remember that Nor nal instructors are selected not he. cause they have stock of pet iheo- ries. but because they have succeed ed. That which succeeds must be successful.
 The instructor and the teachers
 will be pleased to have citizens and 1 friends of education call and give

 After he services Mr. Joseph Altheimer presented the children with he diplomas which receives them into the Jewish faith. The services were concluded with a chorus by the choir.
