Captain J. H. Martin is
Receiving Congratulations.

Hawkinsvil1e, Ca, April 81
Capt. J. H. Martin, the newly
elected Judge of the Oconee cir
cult, is busily engaged in ans
wering the numerous letters of
congratulation received by him
from all parts of the state.
Both he and his friends are
greatly elated over his splendid
victory over his opponent, Judge
D. M. Roberts, WHO'S one of the
most popular men in the circuit.
Captain Martin was born in
Decatur county in 1842. He was
in school at Oglethorpe univer-
sity at the outbreak of the civil
war and left to enlist in the Con-
federate army. He rose from
private to captain and thus earn
ed the title by which he is known
to his friends.
He began civil life by teaching
school and while engaged in this
began the study of law under
Judge C. c. Kibbee. Upon his
admission to the bar he formed a
partnership with Judge Kibbee,
which lasted till the latter was
appointed to the bench. He then
associated himself with C. c..
Smith, who was later appointed
to the bench. Since then he has
conducted his extensive practice
alone. With the exception of a
term as mayor of this city and
as state senator from this dis
trict, he has held no political Of
fee; devoting his time entirely to
his profession.

Enterprise not to be too opti-
mistic in this matter. Profs.
Little and Kuh1 have definitely
stated that they have not nor
do not desire to leave Abbevil1e,
and will not do so if their dem
ands are complied with, and they
most certainly will be. Profess
sors Little and Kuh1 are gentle
men, whose words are good as
their bond. "-Abbeville Chronicle.
Very we'll, neighbor, we will
not quarrel over that.
If Professors Little and Kuh1
prefer to remain where they are
and have accomplished so much,
then Abbeville is to be congratu-
lated. At the same time Fitz-
gerald will push steadily for
ward and take chances on secur-
ing an efficient faculty for the
school we propose to establish.

ST. LOUIS FAIR READY
FOR TODAY'S OPENING
All Preparations Have Been Completed and
the Grounds are IN Perfect Order
for the Great Event.

St. Louis, April 29.-St. Louis
tonight is prepared for the
greatest day in her history.
Tomorrow at noon her great ex-
position, upon which the city has
lavished millions of money, to
which her people have devoted
years Of their best endeavor, and
to which they have 1abored with
infinite patience and persistence,
will be thrown open to the world.
All of today and all of tonight
the people have worked with
desperate energy to accomplish
the thousand and one things that
always remain to be done at the
last moment. AT the exposition
ground 10000 men have worked
all day putting on1the final touch
es upon the grounds, buildings,
sidewalks, cleaning buildings, re-
moving scaffolds and arranging
exhibits. This work will con-
tinue without cessation until
dawn, and it is confidently ex-
pected that when the Fair opens
at noon tomorrow everything
humanity possible will have been
done to advance the work to the
furtherest limit of preparation.
In the downtown streets and
residence districts the decora-
tons are profuse and beautiful.
The exercises tomorrow will be
more serious than respondent.
There will be comparatively little
fFhe glittering pageant that
marked tn dedication exercises
year ago, but the ceremonies
preceding the formal opening
will be none the less interesting.
During the day the United
States gunboat Nashville with
the torpedo boat destroyer Law
renee, which will represent the
navy at the fair, arrived. AS the
ships came in they were greeted
by a chorus of whistles and
shouts of welcome from crowds
on excursion steamers.

The words of theorist on ed
ucational topics go a long way to
bring practice into accord with
reason. While the writer is not
acquainted with the details of
manual training work, he has a
comprehensive view of what it
proposes to do by a1lying it with
the theory of education. In this
article he proposes to inquire
into the relation of the pupil to
manual training, and inquire
whether there is any vitality in
it.
In school teaching, as in every
other profession, new ideas are
being constantly brought for
ward. 1t would probably cause
a sepulchral groan from the
pedagogues of the last so years,
should they hear of the new
method of hearing recitations,
viz, with books open and in the
childrens' hands. A second ad-
dition to the curriculum is the
attempt to acquaint the pupil
with things which he sees every
day. Nature study aims at, but
in my opinion, imperfectly &C
composites, the disclosure of
things on all sides of him, the
forms of trees, the contrast in
colors, the grandeur of hills, and
the ever changing panorama of
the clouds, the beauty of sun
sets, etc.
Some of these means of reach
ing the pupils souls have their
theories imperfectly worked out
and their methods inadequately
stated. Until these essentials are
supplied they may be properly
classed as "fads," gotten up for
the wonder working shallow
Drained, to dazzle and betray the
unthinking.
But manual training is not a
fad" It's theory harmonizes
with educational theory. Let us
start out on the right under
standing. Popular ideas of man
ual training are erroneous. Our
desire here is to make clear what
manual training does not intend
to do, and then to proceed with
what it does do.
Then Danish to St. Helena OF
Elysium, the idea that manua
training expects to provide a boy
with a trade. This is the popu'
lar idea. There is not a father
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1904-04-30

or mother who would not lament
the fastening of their boy down
to horse shoeing, or cobbling, or
carpentering, provided the spirit
ual faculties are of no higher
order than to be satisfied with
physical touch and sight. Yet
no better disposition could be
made of the boy who is deficient
in deeper insight.
This is what manual training
aims to do-to acquaint the boy
with first impressions, clear-cut,
concise, which are to serve as
his perceptions on which to base
his papers in rhetoric, his rea-
soning in arithmetic, his logic in
grammar. Concise perceptions
are elements of character, know
ledge of thing precedes love of
that thing, and when he has
worked with keen edged tools he
acquires knowledge of the
word keen" that will serve him
in all future composition lessons,
and all through his life. He will
recognize keen argument in a
debate more easily. 1t is useless
to multiply instances. Educa-
ton by this method makes words
stand for ideas, and upon ideas
everybody stands or falls.
Take one more illustration. In
the school that is to be, we will
have room where cooking will
be taught. Now it is absurd, is
itnot, to say that the town that has
cooking school will receive the
obloquy and discredit that at
taches to the name of "cook?'
We don't expect to turn out cooks
for hotels and boarding houses;
we expect to make cooking a
basis for ideas of che mistry; for
ideas of gardening, since the ma.
terlal comes from the garden.
Then we proceed to inquire into
the nature of the soil; it's chemi-
cal elements, and then from all
this we pass to a historical con-
ception, and an industrial con-
ceptlon. The main point is that
the children handle things, not
words, and they get clear-cut,
concise impressions of things.
The last half of this paper will
deal with the origin of manual
training. Why is it necessary
to make so fundamental a change
in our educational SYSTEM
Simply because the school is

METHODIST CONFERENCE.
Fourth Quarterly Conference Shows Good
Condition of Church,

On Saturday evening the Methodist
church held its Fourth Quarterly Confer.
ence, for this year in which the work of
the term was summed up.
The Rev. Z. E. Elliot reported that
the year began with 40 members in full
connection, and 10 on probation. Dur
ing the year he had given out Is letters,
three had removed without letters, and
two deaths had occurred. He took in by
letter during the year AZ and from pro.
baton Is, total OF So. The total in
crease for the year is 80 full members
and probationers.
During the year 1891 was received for
Improvements on the church and par
sonage, 1920 for benevolences, 1920 tor
ministerial support, $50 for S. S. sup
plies, $50 for janitor, $50 for lights, $50
for organist, and $25 for wood, total Of
$24S0.
The enrolment OF the Sunday school
is IT'S, and it has given $35 for mission,
rs on Improvements, and something
towards temperance work.
The Epworth League has 80 members
in the society and is in fair way for
growth. The w. Il. NJ. L. has had the
best year of its life, having raised SEQ for
charitable purposes
The Ladies Aid has raised $26l, most
of it was used on the parsonage, which
is now one OF the best furnished in the
district.
The congregations are good, the at.
tendance this summer being better than
last. Personally the people had been
kindly disposed to the pastor, though he
reckoned it as one of the hardest years
of his ministry.
