SOVTHERN
 EDUCATION
BETTER TEACHERS NEEDED.
The Difficulty in Getting Competent Teachers. One of the SOuth's
 Drawbacks.

The difficulty is great in getting where the school. term is short. too short to justify good men and wom en to quality themselves for the work they profess to be able to do. and, to. do if well. The compensation paid,to teachers in Tennessee, as rule, is not such as to induce the best men and women, adapted to the work of teaching, to engage in it. This is a drawback that is hard to overcome; it can be done only by the consolida tion of school districts, as is being done in our sister state of North Carolina, and having fewer schools but with longer terms. The number or teachers in the schools may be less, and none but the best need be engaged.
 In addition to that, with fever school houses there may be better school houses, the want of which is another serious drawback to the do- ing of the best work in connection with our public schools. Children can not do the best work, unless they are made comfortable, and they will not unless the school room is made at tractive. In the space of newspa per article the needs of the schools can only be hinted at; but it is hoped that the hints here given may attract the attention of the friends of public schools in the state and set them to thinking.
 Again. the time has come when the money paid for the education of the children should not be wasted in the employment of fossils, who have no other idea of teaching than following in the beaten rrts pursued years and years ago. The science of teaching is a progressive science, and no man or woman who does not so realize, and who has not enough ambition to keep up with the procession, should be em- ployed to. teach the children of to- day. The employment of any such IS a wanton and wicked waste of sacred money.-KnoXville Journal and Trib- une

INCOMPETENT TEACHERS.
One of the Chief Sources of Waste the Employment of IncOm-
 petent Teachers.

One of the chief sources of the waste of school money is the employ- ment of incompetent teachers. This is perhaps more generally true in the sparsely-populated districts; but it is hot confined to them. It is seen and felt also in the, cities. Boards of ed ucation and school directors have a grave responsibility resting upon them in this respect, and no man who is fit to hold such a position will ap- proacf the work in hand without feeling it. The time of the school children is too precious to be wasted in attending upon instruction at the hands of those who know little of the responsibility that rests upon them. and who perhaps do not care to know. It sometimes takes longer to unlearn that which is fallacious, taught by an Incompetent teacher, than it did to imbibe the false notions that are to be learned.-KnoXville Journal and Tribune.

SHOWING THE WAY.

Most of our readers know all about the aches and pains of bad back; very few people are free from sick kidneys, as the kidneys are the most .oyerworked organs of the body and Ego wrong at times no matter how we'll the general health may be. The trouble is so few understand the indications of kidney trouble. You. are nervous, tired out and weary, have stitches, twinges and twitches of back ache pains, but lay it to other causes; finally the annoyance and suffering at tendant with urinary disorders, reten- tion of the urine, too frequent urina- tion, makes you realize the serious ness of it. At any. stage you should take remedy that will not only re- lieve but cure you. Read the following and profit by the lesson it teaches:
 c. J. McMurray,; a resident of Free port, H., address AT Iroquois St., says: "I have greater faith in Doan's Kidney Pills to-day than I had in the fall of 1897 when first took that remedy and | it cured me of an acute pain across the back and imperfect action of the kidneys Since I made public state ment of these facts and recommended Doan's Kidney Pills to my friends and acquaintances, thoroughly believing as I did both from observation and ex- perience that they. would do just as they were represented to do. I am still pleased to reendorse my state ment given to the public shortly after first began to use the remedy"

WHAT EDUCATION CAN DO.
It RevOIutionized Bleak Scot sNt1 Why May 1t Not the
 SOuthInnd.

Far the most important event of this short session was the passing of the act for the settling of schools. By this memorable law it was, in the Scotch phrase, statuted and ordained that every parish in the realm should provide a commodious school house and pay a moderate stipend to a schoolmaster. The effect could not. be immediately felt. But before one generation had passed away it began to be evident that the common people of Scotland were superior in inte.li- gence to the common people of any otEer country. in EurGpe. To what ever land the Scotchman might wan der, to whatever calling he;hight be- take himself, in America Tin India, in trade or in war, the advantage which he derived from his early train ing raised him above his competitors If he was taken into a warehouse as a porter he soon became foreman. II he enlisted in the army he soon be- came a sergeant. Scotland, mean while, in spite of the barrenness of her SOIL ana SSNcIlty VI hOI 'N' made such progress in agriculture, in manufactures, in commerce, in let ters. in science, in all that constitutes civilization, as the old world had never seen equaled. and as even the new world has scarcely seen sur passed. This wonderful change is to be attributed, not indeed solely. but principally, to the national system of education.-LordM Macaulay.

Congressman George Henry White, of Tarboro, \. C., writes the following letter to Dr. Hartman in regard to the merits of the great catarrh cure, Pe- runa:
 House of Representatives,
 Washington, Feb. 4, 1899. The Peruna Medicine Co.,, Columbus, O.: Gentlemen" am more than SafiS- fled with Peruna, and find if 10 be an excellent remedy for the grip and ca- farrh. have used It In my family and they all join me in recommending if as an excellent remedy"
 Very respectfully,
 George Fl. White. Peruna is an internal, scientific, sys- temic remedy for catarrh. It is no palliative or temporary remedy; it is thorough in it's work, and in cleansing the diseased mucous membranes cures the catarrh.
 If you do not derive prompt and sat- isfactory results from the use of .Pe- runa, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
 Address Dr. Hartman, President Of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.
