THE COMING TEACHER.

1t is already decreed that this
teacher must have only one vaca-
tion and only one place of work
for many years at least-why not
for lifetime?
He must be an individual of high
moral purposes and a clean char
acter. He must have sufficient
force of character to stand for
something in the community in
which he lives; he must have some
conviction and principle, and his
people must recognize his worth.
He must be literary, refined in
taste, gentlemen in thought, in
stinct and conduct.
He must have an open eager
mind, and must cultivate the stu
dent habit. He must have some
executive ability and fine business
qualities; his address must be at
tractive and his personality pleas
ing; and he must not become too
old or too wise to leave his work
occasionally and enter some of our
great universities for study and
keep himself in touch with the
great seats of refnment and centers
of thought. He must be able to
love some trait of everybody and
appreciate merit wherever found.
He must be able to love children
with all the tenderness of an ardent
nature. Such man will COM
mand money, influence and power
as an emperor commands his sub
jects. A. c..

There is an abundance of pure
drinking water, and the building is
scientifically ventilated, excellently
lighted and in the winter comfort
ably heated.

| talked with number of old
soldiers, all of whom expressed
themselves as well pleased with
the treatment they received, and
we'll they should be, for it seemed
to me that nothing had been left
undone for their comfort and hap
piness. The only cause of COM
plant any of them had, was that
they were lonesome at times, and
grew tired of talking among them
selves, and that it was great
treat to them when there were a
number of visitors.
If there is anything or anyone ]
love, except those near and dear
to me by kindred ties, it is an hon
orable old Confederate soldier, and
next the one in my admiration and
esteem is he who does him the
honor to which he is entitled,
which should be as great as any
that can be bestowed.
The building was leased for
twenty-five years, eleven of which
have already passed, and by the
time the lease expires there will be
no need to renew it, for all of that
noble band will probably have
passed the picket line of the bor-
dor land and anSuarad to tho roll
call of the Great General. But
they will live in the memory of
grateful people, and their deeds of
,valor and patriotism will be told
in song and story as long as time

!; LIVE EDUCATIONAL TOPICS.
To Teachers.

Friday, November %, has been
set apart by our State Superintend-
ent as arbor day. Being in full ac-
cord with this movement, it is my
sangulne hope that every teacher in
the county will properly observe the
appointed day; if needed, see that
choice trees are properly planted
on the school grounds; otherwise
spend the day in decorating the in
side of schoolhouse and making any
other improvements which will add
to the beauty of the school prem
ises. Pleasant environments are
very potent in the production of
high-grade men and women.
When l visit the schools it will be
my delight to thank the teachers
for the good work they have done.

County Superintendent.

CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS HOME.
Mrs. G. G.. Trevathan Eloquently De-
scribes Visit There.

scribes a Visit There.
Through a great desire of my
own, and at the request of others,
last month visited the Confederate
Soldiers Home, near Nashville,
while in that city attending the
Confederate reunion.
1t was an ideal autumnal after
noon. Balmy breezes, fragrant
with the scent of new mown clover
came in gentle undulating waves,
and the mellow sun of Indian sum-
mer cast it's gentle warmth over
the fair scenes surrounding the
magnificent home, which is an
honori to the state and sure
enough haven of peace and happi-
ness to the old wearers of the gray.
How my heart swelled with pride
that | was a Tennessean as | be-
held the almost palatial mansion,
with its large Corinthian columns,
surrounded by extensive we'll kept
grounds, over the soft velvety
grass of which the old heroes
strolled contented and happy. AS
| stood in rapt admiration, gazing
at the pleasing scene around me,
the musical "cllng-clang of a
cows bell came melodiously to my
ears from the meadow, and l tho't
to myself, ''Where can one find
another picture half so homelike
and fair?"
Accompanied by Mr.. Mcdonald,
the manager, and Capt. John t.
Hickman and wife, who are con
nected with the institution, l Wis
tied every department of this
splendid tribute Of gratitude and
appreciation of the state and peo-
pie to the tenders of the Lost
Cause. The institution pleasingly
filled me with the thought that
though forty one years have pass
ed since the Southern soldier
shouldered his gun and went forth
to fight for his constitutional
rights, his heroism, valor and self
sacrifice are still remembered, and
will continue to be SO as long as
there beats one true Southern
heart.
The grounds surrounding the
Home are surprisingly beautiful,
and one can scarcely imagine a
more picturesque, pleasing view
than that which greets the eye in
every direction. Far away across
the fields of golden corn, and over
the rolling hills, | felt that would
never tire of gazing.
l found the hospital we'll kept,
neat and clean, the cots being of
snowy whiteness and supplied with
everything for the comfort and
welfare of the sick, who receive
the tenderest nursing and the most
expert medical skill. For several
of the inmates, who are entirely
disabled, there are rolling chairs
in which the helpless invalids are
kindly pushed about by their more
fortunate comrades.
The reading room and library is
we'll lighted, airy and inviting.
There are large number of books,
and the tables are covered with
current literature, by which those
who choose can keep posted on
what is transpiring in the great
busy world outside.
The kitchen and dining room |
found models of cleanliness, and
the old soldiers informed me that
the fare was wholesome and pIenti- |
full, and that they had no occasion
to complain about their diet or the

BDAUTIFYING THE SCHOOL PREMISES
1t is not enough to put four
walls over a roof, fill the enclosed
space with children, place a teach
er in charge and call the whole a
school. Every possible adjunct
which might operate favorably
upon the child, either by direct
influence or suggestion, is neces-
sary to school.
We as teachers should not be
satisfied with good order and good
sanitation, but should join the
aesthetic to the useful and make
our school premises as beautiful
as our resources will permit. |
fear we do not realize how much
beautiful surroundings mean to
our pupils. Everywhere we find
some children whose lives are
cheerless. How can the influence
of neat and attractive surround
ings be estimated? Although
heredity in great degree deter
mines character, environment is of
no small Importance.
The Union City Public School
has commenced to beautify the
yard. Shade trees have been
planted, nice brick pavements have
been laid around the building, and
the yard is to be turfed, and in
summer with daisies pied" The
pupils are encouraged. They are
interested in the work, and have
contributed their little offering of
flowers for the purpose of beauti-
flying the school premises. TO
have a charming school yard is
worth years of work. This work
will not only teach children some
practical botany, but will lead
them to love and cultivate flowers,
develop their tender natures and
render them more cheerful, happy
and lovable.
Cultivate beauty also inside the
building. Here too, if you are
careful, tasteful and persistent,
many will cooperate with you.
The primary hall is the most at
tractive one in the building. Here
we have nice single desks, slate
blackboards, and on the walls sew
eral pictures, suggestive and in
structive. Mrs. George Dahnke
has kindly sent her flowers to us
for the winter, and in our windows
we have geraniums, ferns and
palms. Children love the beauti-
full, and let us as teachers make
our schoolrooms ideal homes for
the little ones.

Naval Academy at Annapolis.
Count Cassini. the Russian Ambassador
and president of the club, extended the
invitation to the President several days
ago, and Mr.. Roosevelt later replied that
he would be delighted to attend, as would
Mrs. Roosevelt. Their presence will give
to the event even a more distinguished
social tone than the presence of the men,
bers themselves, all prominent in Wash
ington social and diplomatic life. There
will be nine bouts. Each pair of swords
men will fight three bouts of five minutes
duration.
The Washington Fencers' Club team will
be composed of Mr.. j. W. Early, Mr..
Wright. and Mr.. Dayrell Crackanthorpe.
1t is the same one that went to Annapolis
last year and engaged in match with the
Naval Academy team. They are rated
the three best swordsmen in the Fencers'
Club. There will be nothing tame about
the bouts. and the President will doubt
less see a most satisfactory sport.
Mr.. Crackanthorpe is Second Secretary
of the British Embassy. Society had an
opportunity to gauge his skill some time
ago when he appeared in amateur theatri
Gals at Chase's Opera House.
The navy will be represented by ]. P.
Lannon. G. J. Rowclif, and F. S. Whit
ten. Cadet R. D. Gatewood will be on
hand as a substitute. Lieut.. n. J. Ziege
meier will be in charge.
