COMrlON SENSE IN TEACHING.

il quires only common sense, good
judgment and gentleness. There are,
however, three other important points
that must ever be foremost in the
mind OF the teacher.
First OF all, she must remem Der
that to teach is to impart instruction
not to find fault with ignorance,
lack of comprehension, with listiess-
ness or with forgetfuln ess. Often, in
deed, for these last named faults, poor
teaching is to blame. Second, there
is the infexible rule that requires a
teacher to prepare every lesson care.

present danger OF overriding, against
which the teacher must always be on
guard.

Ten or fifteen minutes for each study
is enough, and this time limit must
not be overstepped SO long as to-mor-
row represents another day.
1t is a positive fact that one hour a
day-even less in the very beginning
devoted to teaching a young child
at home will enable him at the end OF
year to outstrip his little playmate
who, during the same period has been
forced to spend five hours day con-

this his lessons will be OF never- failing
interest because they are presented
more intelligibly, and are exactly

The average weekly editor usually
has his all invested in his newspaper
property. The investment generally
represents from $1,000 TO $4,000 But
it is worth more to the town than five
times that amount expended in any
local enterprise, says the a tlanta Con-
stitution. AS rule, the newspaper
represents to the outside world the
town ITSELF. Poor paper, poor town,
is the usual verdict. 1t is therefore
to the interest Of every town to sup
port a good newspaper. Not through
local pride alone, put for practical
business reasons. A news, paper is con-
stant!y doing rs much for its town as
it could ever hope to get pay for, more
than it could charge for if it would
The more prosperous a paper is the
more it is able to do. Show us good
weekly paper, full OF live loca' ads,
with a general circulation throughout
the country, ard we will show you an
up-to date, prosperous, progressive
community. And we will show you ii
paper that is worth five times as much
to that community every year than
the editor manages to make for HIM
self.

WHERE BLAME LIES.

EATHERS don't like to have their
II boys to use tobacco, but they
really do not care enough about
it to let it alone themselves. They
d,u't like to hear OF their sons being
drunk, but they continue to pour
whiskey down their own throats.
Would it not be a greater comfort to
families and blessing to communities
il men would even approach the type
OF manhood they would like so much
to see in their own boys. They con-
tinue in their wees, hoping that the
schonls, the churches or the mothers
will exert sufficient influence for good
to keep the sons in the path which
leads to II higher standard of manhood
than they themselves possess.
